Josephine

An expression of freedom and feminine strength

With the Josephine Collection, LA PREZIOSA honours the vibrant life and extraordinary radiance of Josephine Baker – an icon of the 1920s, celebrated dancer, singer, and freedom fighter. Designer Hannes Gamper was inspired by her unwavering energy, elegance, and dance-like zest for life. The collection’s delicate jewellery pieces combine 18-carat recycled gold with fine white freshwater pearls. Like in dance, the pearls seem to move in harmony with the body – a play of light, rhythm, and grace. Particularly striking: the bangle with freely swinging pearl bars, bringing the lightness of the “danse sauvage” to life with every movement.

“I wanted to create jewellery that dances – like the delicate dresses of the 1920s. Simple, clean shapes, worn with intention, making a statement: This is me, now. The pieces should radiate lightness and joie de vivre – no matter what tomorrow brings. And they should also seduce – with their elegance and youthful carefreeness.” – Hannes Gamper, Designer LA PREZIOSA
Fine hoops, floating drop earrings, and minimalist rings reflect a clear, modern design language – expressing confidence, grace, and sensuality. The Josephine Collection is a tribute to freedom – and to women who bravely follow their own path.

Like all LA PREZIOSA collections, Josephine is designed in our family-owned atelier in South Tyrol and handcrafted to the highest standards. The jewellery is made from 18-carat recycled gold and the finest freshwater pearls.
