In the world of jewellery, where mass production and fleeting trends often dominate, there are creations capable of telling authentic stories. This is certainly true of the hand-painted women’s choker by Italian artist Roberto Mosella: a piece that goes beyond the concept of an accessory, becoming a true work of art to be worn.
You can find it in our accessories section on the website www.seatwinkles.com
Roberto Mosella -Artist and founder of “Revitalism”
Every detail stems from a unique creative gesture, where colour, material and inspiration merge to bring a one-of-a-kind piece to life. This necklace is not merely a fashion statement, but a way to stand out, express personality and carry a fragment of contemporary art with you.
Perfect for those seeking elegance with character, it represents the meeting of Italian craftsmanship and artistic vision, making every look not only complete but memorable.
Designed with a unique vision, we are really delighted with this collaboration and we spoke to the artist about it.
How did the idea for the hand-painted necklace come about?
Q:”The idea for the necklace stemmed from a question I asked myself: what could
be the most beautiful surface on which to display a work of art?”
A:”The answer I came up with was: “A WOMAN” “
Q:What outfit do you picture it with?
A :”The choker is perfect for an outfit consisting of a T-shirt
and jeans, but also when worn with monochrome evening dresses or in
harmony with the pattern of the choker itself.
Whether casual or elegant, wearing a ROViRO’ choker guarantees
that you’ll stand out in a unique, revolutionary and artistic way.“
Q.Fit and practicality? What criteria did you follow to make it a functional accessory?
A:”The ROViRO’ Collar is a bespoke product designed to
be comfortable to wear.
The materials used are of the highest quality; the satin lies gently against the neck,
the grosgrain core ensures elasticity that prevents
the accessory from losing its shape over time, and the painted surface is made from
high-quality denim.
The aim was to combine undeniable originality with practicality.
Nothing has been left to chance.”
Q: How many collections have you created?
A:Little Men
Archimedes
Sueno
Flora
Animalia
Upside Down

Bronze jewelry has an unmistakable charm — a warm, golden glow that feels both vintage and modern at the same time. Whether it’s a statement cuff, a pair of earrings, or a delicate pendant, bronze pieces deserve the right care to maintain their beauty and character over time.
In this guide, we’ll share expert tips on how to clean and care for bronze jewelry, so it keeps looking radiant and full of life.
What Makes Bronze Jewelry Special?
Bronze is a precious alloy made from copper and tin, admired for its strength, warm tones, and artistic appeal. Over time, bronze naturally develops a soft patina — a thin layer that can give the metal a vintage look. Some people love this effect, while others prefer the bright, polished finish of freshly cleaned bronze.
The good news? With the right care routine, you can easily preserve or restore the look you love most.
How to Clean and Polish Bronze Jewelry

1. Keep it dry whenever possible
Water can accelerate oxidation and dull the surface of bronze. Avoid wearing your jewelry while swimming, showering, or washing dishes.
If it does get wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth and gently warm it with a hairdryer on a low setting to remove any moisture.
2. Use a soft polishing cloth
To maintain the shine, regularly wipe your jewelry with a soft, non-abrasive cloth, preferably one designed for jewelry care. This helps remove fingerprints and surface oils that can darken the metal over time.
3. For deeper cleaning
If your jewelry shows spots or a greenish patina, use a specialized bronze cleaner in liquid, cream, or paste form. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
Rinse gently with lukewarm (not hot) water, then dry immediately with a cloth and a hairdryer to prevent water marks or oxidation.
4. Avoid rough surfaces and chemicals
Bronze can scratch or react to harsh substances. Remove your jewelry before handling cleaning products, perfumes, lotions, or when doing manual work.
5. For gold-plated bronze jewelry
Gold-plated or “gilded” bronze pieces require extra care. Avoid abrasive products and use only a dedicated jewelry cloth.
Over time, the gold layer may fade — when that happens, you can contact us to have your jewelry professionally re-gilded, restoring its original brilliance.

 

A Secret Tip: Wear It Often
Yes, really — the best way to keep bronze jewelry looking alive is to wear it! The natural oils from your skin can help slow oxidation and keep the metal’s color warm and vibrant.
So don’t let your bronze treasures sit in a box. Show them off, and let them shine with you.
In Summary
With just a few simple steps — keeping it dry, polishing it regularly, avoiding harsh chemicals, and wearing it often — your bronze jewelry will stay beautiful for years to come.
