Over time he has honed his art, winning the confidence of art galleries and trendy boutiques, but nevertheless he has maintained a personal dark touch that, based on the contrast between coloured stones and burnished metals, renders his jewellery stunning. In his varied repertoire appear figurative elements, such as serpents coiled into loops around to baroque pearls and strange beings, a cross between animals and humans, articulated like dolls, to be hung round the neck with simple burnished chains.

Terry Castro has started selling his ornaments on the pavements of Soho in New York. His first creations were assemblages of objects he found that, despite being a hotchpotch of things of little value, already revealed an original decorative ‘ingredient’.

The Fox è il gioiello disegnato da Castro che nasconde dietro le sembianze di una volpe il corpo di una piccola bambina.
Ciò che contraddistingue e rende facilmente riconoscibili tutte le creazioni di Castro è un tocco dark unito a colore e scintillio.

Opale, ametista e argento si incontrano negli esclusivi anelli di Terry Castro
Ogni gioiello è unico nel suo genere e creato rigorosamente a mano dal designer
Le creazioni di Castro sono spesso ibridi tra esseri umani e animali, snodabili come bambole.

WHERE: 1751 Lexington Avenue, New York

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
