‘It’s an object for unconventional people; I could see Johnny Depp or Angelina Jolie wearing it’, says Carlamaria Orsi Carbone about her custom-made snake bracelet, the latest ‘must’ item for socialites and it boys. ‘Jewels in the form of snake date back to ancient Egyptian, Greek,  and Roman times.  I chose a l970s model and transformed it into a luxury accessory to be worn with jeans and a T-shirt or with a caftan on the beach or  with  evening  dress’.  Her Bibi Hanun, (named after Tamerlane’s favorite),  already on the wrists of the eccentric chic, such as Osanna Visconti and Delphine Arnault,  is available in a vast assortment with precious variations.  (Carlamaria’s favorite snake is  made  of  red gold and transparent powdery pink enamel with brown diamonds for eyes, ‘perfect for me as I often wear Prada and I  love powdered colors’).   The latest one is a steel snake and is made very dark by its carbonium coating. ‘It’s the total cross-over object, for the intellectual as well as for trendy men.That’s why I imagine it on Johnny Depp and Lapo Elkann’.
