29 September 2020 No Comments

AMONG MEDUSA’S SNAKES

The face of Medusa, wrapped in the same reptiles that surround her head, is modeled by engraving entirely by hand in lava stone from Vesuvius. Medusa gives all her charm through her screaming expression, which as per legend, petrifies those who cross her gaze.
Yellow gold snakes and small cognac diamonds are an integral part of this pendant, which can also be used as a brooch, a unique piece that represents a journey between mythology and legend in a jewel that evokes ancient stories.

Luxury pendant/brooch: “The Mask”

29 September 2020 No Comments

The combination of different styles is something that has always fascinated me, giving a double or more meanings to a jewel makes it unique and interesting, this is the case of this pendant/brooch, the mask subject, carved on pink coral from the Pacific Ocean depicts a mask that recalls the carnival figures but in particular the face of Pulcinella, icon of the Neapolitan city.
It is therefore a jewel with a clear reference to a Mediterranean style, the theme of farce linked to the mask is further accentuated by the ornamental part in white gold, which due to its shape recalls the headdress of a jester and another style is introduced of workmanship, the metal worked in tulle thanks to the fretwork technique, that imitation of the textures of a fabric that were so fashionable from the mid-1800s onwards.
A mask with different aspects, as it should be… A jewel that crosses different places and styles…

Luxury pendant/brooch: “Coral satyr”

29 September 2020 No Comments

A figure from ancient Greek-Roman mythology with hybrid features, a human aspect with goat details, the Satyr depicted in this pendant has a smiling appearance, as if to convey immediate joy. Obtained from a part of red coral, it immediately leads back to a marine territory, land and islands which were an integral part of the two ancient civilizations mentioned above.
Its being a semi-divine figure of the woods has given inspiration to the creation of the decorative part in yellow gold, which while adapting to the shape of the coral keeps its characteristic workmanship clearly visible by reproducing the natural veins of a vegetable, a green shell of a wild hazelnut .
The shiny gold part alternates with the opaque one almost as if to create a satyr’s garment, a soft hat, a tie-related dress.
An imaginative game for a pendant/brooch with a unique charm…

IN THE HEART OF THE SEA

IN THE HEART OF THE SEA

The jewel, made of white gold, combines materials of different origins, another example of union between sea and land, a pink shell and a precious black Tahiti pearl are in fact set through a refined frame of the noble metal,
further adorned by the presence of some small blue diamonds.
The pink element is precisely the heart of the Caribbean shell from which it was made, a soft and delicate shade that holds the natural jewel that comes from the sea, a beautiful black pearl from Polynesia. The gold frame follows a soft and sinuous line like a delicate wave that wraps and embeds the shell, the blue diamonds create small luminous points of that intense color which further contributes to evoking the thalassic environment.
A unique jewel closely linked to the sea, colors and shapes in perfect harmony destined to cross the time…

White gold ring with diamonds and natural Tahitian pearl

26 September 2020 No Comments

The ring was made inspired by a particular shape of pasta. By observing even the simple things that are part of our daily life, it is possible to have ideas to reinterpret in one’s work, this is the case of the “Vortice Marino” ring.
The surface of the metal has ripples that recall the foam generated by the waves of the sea, the shape, a vortex, slips away through a line of small diamonds that wrap around a wonderful natural Tahitian pearl.
Ideas, quality materials and elegance, the right balance for an unconventional ring.

Materials:
18 kt white gold
Brilliant cut diamonds
Pearl of Tahiti

SPRING WINDOW

25 September 2020 No Comments

The white and pink gold pendant in coral is a clear homage to nature, to the beauty of plants and flowers, including the rose, perhaps the most evocative flower, a meaning for each of its colours.
The gold part reproduces the natural veining of a vegetable bark that envelops the coral flower in a delicate vortex, like the motion of a pinwheel in the wind, a wind that arises between one season and another in the marvel of life that a spring pinwheel is born in the colors of flowering plants…

MINE OF THE ABYSS

MINE OF THE ABYSS

The yellow gold pendant combines a warm-coloured mineral, a Vanadinite from Morocco, with a graceful hippocampus that immediately recalls the sea; symbolically it is a union of nature between the earth element and the water element.

The title of the jewel “Mine of the abyss” is a play on words that leads back to the mine from which minerals are extracted but at the same time reminds us how much the sea can be a mine of treasures invisible to us, treasures for its extraordinary fauna which ranges between innumerable fish of a thousand colors, treasures for the history that it has been costing for centuries, if we think of the ships that lie on its seabed.

Even the term abyss expresses a double meaning, it is not only connected to the depths of the sea, but also to those of the mines, which in turn cost very precious goods. The pendant is combined with a series of small raw white gold cables that allow it to be worn. The white gold was deliberately left opaque so as not to create an excessive chromatic contrast, in perfect harmony with the rough surface of the mineral.

MARINE FLOWER

The title of the jewel is a clear play on words based on the protagonist of the pendant, emphasizing its reference to the marine world due to the material it is made of.
A soft pink shell, skilfully worked in the shape of a flower is partially wrapped in a refined yellow gold structure which, thanks to its delicate trend, recalls the soft lines of Art Nouveau, in the center of the flower, a further note of color is given by the presence of a blue sapphire, also reminiscent of the color of the sea, the intense blue of its depths, in a delicate chromatic contrast with the pink of the shell, it further enhances the aesthetic effect of the whole jewel.
Each flower contains a particular beauty, shapes and colors are always different, unique, uniqueness like a jewel forever…
