It is likely that the first ever piece of jewellery humanity created was a talisman — an object believed to hold supernatural powers, with a form that exuded mystery. But a simple pendant only becomes a talisman once it has performed its magic and proved its superiority over common objects…
It is also an object’s desirability, the way it strikes the perfect balance between nature and design, that gives it the sacred energy that sets it apart. Even in ancient Greek mythology, a talisman’s strength was maintained only as long as it was coveted.
Drawing inspiration from these elements, Prada’s first jewellery collection plays on the relationship between primeval artefacts and the relentless progression of civilisation. Whether these elegant unisex jewellery creations, handmade from silver and semi-precious stones or natural raw materials like wood, or featuring shells and sculpted animals, will indeed guarantee luck or ward off evil depends on one’s trust in the power of symbols. Either way, the Prada Talisman line is sure to exude its unmistakable and strong aura of elegance and power.
