Let There Be Light!

Create an "illuminating" ambiance 

with these lamps hand-blown in Syria 

by traditional craftsmen from 100% recycled glass.

Each lamp is individual because 

along with the natural variations in glass thickness,

 the glass blower adds his own stamp resulting in a unique variation in luminosity.

Donatella Pellini

PELLINI was founded in 1947 by Emma Pellini

who created jewellery for the haute couture houses of her native Milan and Paris.
In 1964 Emma's daughter Carla took over the business of 

designing and creating beautiful jewellery.

In 1972, the legacy passed from the gifted hands of Carla,

to her granddaughter Donatella who continues to this day.

Direct from the Donatella Pellini studio in Milan,

Today, Serin Cini brings this superb collection of Italian made jewellery to you.

Donatella Pellini

In the heart of old Milan, down the winding via Morigi, 

there is a magical shop from another century,with antique polished wooden counters,

trays of jewels lit with a soft glow, and countless drawers, each labeled in an elegant hand.

Antique fantasies of light and color reconceived in modern designs. 

                Simple but preciously handcrafted materials, made by hand, piece by piece.

 Romantic, decadent, precious, unique, a magical world

               assembled by skilled hands that evoke a universe made of color and harmony.

Pellini jewellery is unforgettable. 

Serin Cini is proud to bring 
the wonderful world of Donatella Pellini jewellery to Castlecrag, Sydney!

"Elephant in the Room"

"Elephant in the room" is an English metaphorical idiom for an obvious truth that is either being ignored or is going unaddressed. The idiomatic expression also applies to an obvious problem or risk no one wants to discuss.

It is based on the idea that an elephant in a room would be impossible to overlook; 

thus, people in the room who pretend the elephant is not there

 have chosen to avoid dealing with the looming big issue.

Get your own "Elephant in the room" 

with this beautiful John Derian decoupage glass plate.

Cire Trudon introduces Merida Arquiste

Cire Trudon has invited Arquiste Parfumeur 

to create a unique new scent for one of its candles. 

Arquiste Parfumeur has chosen to celebrate this esteemed Franco-Mexican collaboration

 by recreating a balmy night described by Empress Carlota of Mexico 

on her visit to the city of Merida, Yucatan in 1865. 

Centering on the exuberant, multi-layered fragrance of the guava tree, 

it evokes succulent ripe fruit, intoxicating blossoms, foliage and bark, 

enveloped by elegant woody notes of mahogany and "palo primavera", 

with just a hint of firework gunpowder reminiscent of fireworks. 

An altogether intriguing, sumptuous scent.
