Before Capri became a refuge for emperors and dreamers, among the rocks of the Faraglioni a creature appeared in an impossible colour. Blue as the deep sea. So rare it seemed unrea l. It is said that even Venus, crossing the island's waters, saw it emerge proudly between stone and the light of sunset. And that for a moment she fell silent, forced even she to surrender to its beauty. Since that day, Capri has kept that creature as a sacred secret of the Mediterranean. The Blue Creature is born from this timeless legend. From the allure of things that do not belong to the ordinary world. From the last rays of sun that, at the close of day, set the sea and the rocks of Capri ablaze with endless shades of gold and blue. True beauty does not ask to be watched. It exists to leave a mark. The Blue Creature carries on the foot the blue lizard of the Faraglioni — the same one that, even today, reveals itself only to those who know how to wait, still on stone warmed by the sun. A slender body of crystals graduating from cobalt to pale blue climbs along the strap, as light and as sharp as the animal it takes its form from. Limited edition, entirely handcrafted in Capri.
