Intro
The word parable, from the Greek parabol, consists of a short narrative, characterized by its symbolic and figurative language that aims to transmit a lesson in wisdom imbued with moral content, an important truth, mostly religious. The "Jesus Parables" are an example of this literary genre.

On the other hand, the parable is also the name of a geometric shape, defined by a conic section equivalent to a plane curve where the points are equidistant from a fixed point (focus) and from a straight line (directrix).

It is possible that these two interpretations of the same concept can be found, in some way, in contemporary jewellery, both in the accuracy of the construction and planning, and in the conceptual elaboration of symbolic statements that unfold to metaphors and allegories which promote dialogues that aim to arouse the observer as well as the one that wears the jewel.

This is perhaps the greatest conquest of contemporary jewellery over traditional jewellery; the prevalence of the formal and conceptual artistic value, surrounded by emotional and affectionate, political or reactive aspects that break loose both from the utilitarian and adornment value as well as from that which merely determines the commercial value of the wearable materials. This could be the parable in terms of jewel, the analogy as object.
