MASTERPIECES’S JOURNEY

Designing a jewel means creating a bridge between form and desire.

St. Michael

This is project took me almost two years just to study the subject and the research of the right materials. I wanted to create a little finger ring full of symbols and meanings.

This is how the idea of ​​a ring that depicted the archangel Michael was born. I chose for his representation of San Michele Arcangelo’s work from 1635 by Guido Reni, located in Rome, Church of Santa Maria Immacolata Concezione.

I also used the one to model the archangel, behind it is the verses of the Preci Leonine of 1884.

Above the angel, a diamond inscribed in the sun, which is the light of knowledge.

The architecture of the ring if on a Byzantine basis. Above all, I quoted Kant in the Critique of Practical Reason “the starry sky above me, the moral law in me” of 1788 with a Dominican Blue Amber.

La Marquise

A custom solitaire obviously like all my designs with an unusual cut diamond. The structure is a half Rivieré in white gold with 17 round cut diamonds topped with a Marquise cut.

The marquise or navette cut takes its name from the French word for a boat: it is an elongated oval shape with two points at the ends. The central part is bright and, generally, deep to allow light to pass through it, producing optical phenomena.

The cut includes 57 facets and is complicated to make due to the fragility of the tips.

Legend has it that Louis XV of France commissioned a cut for a diamond that was as perfect as the mouth and smile of his favorite, the Marquise de Pompadour. The Cullinan VI or the Excelsior, are famous diamonds obtained from the homonymous rough stones and cut in marquise.

Byzantine Band

‘’The Byzantine faith is another most fascinating project of mine. The iconic project is made in Black Gold and Sapphires.

I love Byzantine art. I have been to Istanbul, however just living in Italy, it’s easy to have access to the most beautiful mosaics such as San Vitale in Ravenna or the Pala d’Oro in Venice. I went to those places to see the magnificence of the work-life.

I spent hours, motionless studying forms, and dynamics. The shape is unisex, and although it was conceived conceptually by men, the female audience really likes it’’.

The variant that everyone loves of the Byzantine faith. Born from the research started on some ancient manuscripts found and received from Constantinople and refined in Istanbul and Venice.

The Byzantine technique became a feature with the tunnel, an effective contrast medium; watermark, granulation. The Byzantine jewel is immobile, crystallized over time.

Before getting to this I made 5 different prototypes to define their weights and thicknesses.

The word diamond comes from the Greek ‘Adamas’ meaning ‘invincible’, the hardest material found in nature. Diamonds are nature’s most precious product, grown deep in the earth’s crust, over eons of time.

They are formed at extremely high temperature and pressure at depths of hundreds of kilometers within the earth’s mantle.

Forged by nature between 990 million and 4.25 billion years ago, they were brought closer the surface through volcanic eruptions and are found in cratons, the oldest parts of the earth.
