Every jewel arises from a thought that is expressed through the form, materials or construction techniques used, wearabilility and every detail are meticulously studied for both in the design and in the execution.
The design of a jewel is always a unique experience, it can start from an idea and therefore from something abstract, or from a gem or more gems for which you want to create a setting, or from the desire to use the metal surface as a pictorial canvas and "play" with chromatic and lights effects obtainable with and on metal. Always and in any case with content and sense, the design path will develop in a different way. In a first phase with a freehand sketch the jewel defines and takes shape, bit by bit it get refined and defined, and synchronously in its evolution must be taken in consideration the aesthetic, harmony of the proportions, volumes and weights in function of wearability (earring for instance), of the objective feasibility and of the construction, so that every single portion that forms the whole of the jewel may be well finished.
From the jewel drawing next passage is the construction, depending on the technique chosen - that is 3D modeling (or wax modeling) followed by craftsman finishing and assembling - or direct metal manufacture, but also at this stage could required further editing and retouching before determining whether the jewel is completed.
Care, passion and love are the other ingredients contained!
Some of my works have been hosted at exhibitions in Italy and abroad (Castello Sforzesco of Milan, Triennale di Milano, Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin).
