This time I would like to show you a piece of my family history. This stone was set on a ring my granny used to wear. I was fascinated by its dimensions, colour, and clearness. She always said it would be mine someday. Time has passed and I have forgotten this ring in a drawer. […]

Sometimes it isn’t the inspiration that guides you in the creation of a piece of jewellery. It isn’t a place, a style, or a culture.

When I was a kid I used to browse through my mom’s glossy fashion magazines. She used to buy a considerable amount of them and she used to keep the ones with articles about jewels or famous jewellers.  Everywhere you could find magazines like that and I, getting through those pages, was fascinated by the […]

  When I look to an emerald something happens. Its deep, intense and vivid green has the power to make me feel as if I was into the deep jungle. Suddenly I’m surrounded by a vivid vegetation: leaves of every shade of green and shapes are everywhere, the trees are tall and lash and the […]

Sparkling, sparkling and sparkling. This is the word that describe better this new necklace.

THE SKY IN A HAND

The peculiarity of this stone is an intense blue sprinkle by sparkling straws that bewitch and enchant the gaze, as a casket showing a treasure jealously guarded.
