Osvaldo Marzo
We are glad to present you another artist on our website, Mr. Osvaldo Marzo, the inventor and maker of the unique and exclusive eluxio-STL LED Jewel Flashlight.
Mr. Marzo was born in Italy and lives in Germany. While he has been employed as a goldsmith in and around Goettingen in Germany, he started to develop his own label "eluxio". Since he has always been interested in jewellery and technics, it was obvious to him to combine esthetics with usability and to create a fusion of a jewel and an useful tool. "In the field of LED-technology there are so many things happening actually", Marzo is telling, "and that inspired me to use this technology in combination with art work." As a result he chose the name "eluxio" (derived from latin "lux" = light) to emphasize the core element of his masterpieces.
That's how he created the maybe most uncommon flashlight, and probably the first jewel flashlight in the world. It was a true challenge for Marzo to develop all the parts in a high end quality. An electronic circuit board, which was not available in the market had been developed by a specialized company in cooperation with Marzo. Furthermore, the first piece of his jewel collection was supposed to be worn not only on a gold or silver necklace, but also as a keyring. Therefore it had to be made from materials which are robust and shape-retaining and don't show traces of usage due to heavy daily use.
The filigree and uncommon shape of a violin peg object and his passion for state-of-the-art technology inspired Osvaldo Marzo to create his new and unique collection called "eluxio". A for the violinists indispensable element with its very own story is being converted from its normal application and equipped with highly valuable LED microelectronics: The pegs turn into elegant and classy jewels, which enlighten the dark. That's how Marzo gave birth to these masterpieces, who combine esthetics and functionality in a new way.
Years lasting experiments have made a jewel, which is manufactured only of components which met the highest requirements: Blazing gemstones contrast with the deep black of the wood. In this way the italian goldsmith Marzo has formed new and - for the first time - functional jewels which attract not only musicians but also personalities interested in sophisticated objects.
