When it came to designing a piece of jewelry to reflect the opulence and allure of the soon-to-open Lake Como EDITION Hotel, DYNE designer Sarah Ysabel Narici had to look no further than the property’s picturesque surroundings.
Now, the resulting hand-crafted piece is being put up for auction, to celebrate the latest jewel in the EDITION Hotels portfolio, set to open in March.
Dubbed “Verdant Reverie: The Gem of the Alps at The Lake Como EDITION,” the limited-edition necklace features a sinewy 18-karat yellow gold chain inlaid with a luminous mottled jade and finished with a round diamond at the clasp. Narici says the shape of the necklace was inspired by Lake Como’s “lapping waves and meandering shoreline,” while the jade reflects a “verdant hue that recalls Como’s waters.”
The one-of-a-kind piece will be offered in Sotheby’s Fine Jewelry auction and is open for bidding through December 11. In addition to securing the necklace, the winning bidder will receive a two-night stay at The Lake Como EDITION in one of the property’s penthouse suites, which are set to feature Calacatta Turquoise and Calacatta Gold Stone marble and restored French balconies overlooking the lake and the Bellagio Hills. The winning bidder will also receive a private boat tour of the lake, a custom detox treatment at the property’s “Longevity Spa” and dinner with three-Michelin-starred Chef Mauro Colagreco at his new restaurant at the property, Cetino.
The package is expected to fetch between $15,000 to $25,000 at auction, with Sotheby’s noting that the lot “embodies the intersection of world-class craftsmanship and immersive luxury, extending the winning bidder both an unprecedented experience and lavish memento.”
EDITION Hotels, meantime, says their partnership with Sotheby’s and DYNE — whose pieces were recently worn by Rihanna at the 2025 CFDA Awards — furthers their “shared mission to blur the boundaries between luxury travel and collectible art,” adding that the necklace is “much like The Lake Como EDITION: a striking new addition meant for world-class acclaim.”
The Lake Como EDITION
The Lake Como EDITION is in previews right now and set to officially open in March 2026. The new property joins a long list of distinguished EDITION Hotels around the world, including The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon, which was just named to the World’s 50 Best Hotels list.
“This collaboration reflects EDITION’s commitment to redefining modern luxury by thoughtfully embedding contemporary design within the world’s most storied landscapes,” says George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, EDITION, in a statment. “In partnership with Sotheby’s and DYNE, we are proud to offer an experience that celebrates traditional craftsmanship with globally influenced creativity, creating a moment that is both deeply rooted in the heritage of Lake Como and entirely unique to this partnership.”
