Italian Jewellery Art
Francesco Pavan

Francesco Pavan, born in Padua in 1937, is one of the most important jewellery artists worldwide. He graduated from the „Istituto Pietro Selvatico“ and has himself been teaching there since 1961. Well known young artists like Giovanni Corvaja, Stefano Marchetti, Graziano Visintin or Rosa Maria Franzin were his scholars.
Francesco Pavans latest work shows two quite different groups: his brooches are voluminous but in the same time very light. Shape, material and colour are reduced to a minimum, enamel is used very rarely but gives the strict pieces a certain lightness and vivid touch.
