Mario Kroes, Los Angeles

Description

This striking fine jewellery close-up features a tightly clenched hand adorned with multiple gold rings and stacked bracelets, photographed by Mario Kroes in Los Angeles. A vividly patterned snake with black, red, and yellow scales drapes over the knuckles and curves down the frame. The subject's hand displays long, pointed fingernails finished with a glossy red polish. Several rings encrusted with small diamonds and interspersed with coloured enamel or stone inlays sit snugly on the fingers. Below the fist, a series of matching gold bangles with enamel and gemstone accents rest against a dark, moody background. The lighting is dramatic and directional, casting soft highlights onto the polished metal surfaces and creating sharp contrast against the dark surroundings.
