The Crown of Naples: the language of couture according to Aster Lab
“The Crown" , the couture project by Aster Lab open Opulenza, a creative journey composed of three works—La Corona, Cornice, and Arte Sacra—in which jewelry becomes an expression of power, matter, and ritual. Created as a tribute to the history and royalty of Naples, the project is inspired by the crown of Charles of Bourbon, a symbol of power, culture, and splendor. The vision takes shape in a spectacular ensemble consisting of an arched crown and a maxi silver-plated necklace, illuminated by Crystal Color and AB Color crystals.
The arched crown reinterprets Bourbon iconography in a contemporary key: an architectural structure rich in precious details, chiseled arches, and harmonious volumes that interact with light through iridescent and iridescent reflections. Swarovski and Preciosa crystals amplify the scenic effect, making the arched crown luminous and highly decorative: an authentic couture vision. The maxi draped necklace completes the design like a royal breastplate, enveloping the décolleté up to the shoulders with an opulent and harmonious composition.
NAME: THE CROWN
COLORS: Crystal and Northern Lights - Silver plating
Each piece is entirely handcrafted: pencil design, material construction, manual application of crystals, attention to detail, and careful consideration of proportions. Aster Lab's creative mastery is expressed in its ability to blend historical tradition and contemporary design, always keeping the excellence of Made in Italy at the center. Made in Italy.
The project is interpreted in the official photos by Sypario, a figure with strong visual impact and magnetic stage presence. Through his aesthetic language, Sypario embodies a contemporary, intense, and self-aware royalty, capable of blending theatricality, identity, and expressive power. In this context, the drag queen becomes a natural extension of couture: an art that thrives on transformation, controlled excess, and self-affirmation. Worn by Sypario, the crown is not just an object, but a symbol that comes to life, while the maxi necklace is charged with narrative force, dialoguing with the body and the scene.
The connection with Naples is an essential part of the project: a city where theatricality, craftsmanship, and a taste for excess have always coexisted. “La Corona” is part of Opulenza, a couture project in three works by Aster Lab—La Corona, Cornice, and Arte Sacra—interpreted by Sypario, in which jewelry becomes power, matter, and ritual.
