The Florentine-style earrings with diamonds They develop a radial composition around the central stone. 18-carat white and yellow gold build the colour contrast. The outer motifs alternate solids, openings and points of light. On the lobe, the shape remains compact and neat. The diamonds emerge with clarity, while frames and engraved surfaces keep the richness of the design legible.

The initial meeting serves to clarify direction, materials and feasibility without requiring an immediate decision.
Florentine style belongs to my archive of already realised creations. It bears witness to a precise encounter between taste, technique and proportions, but it is not a form to be copied. Every new project is redesigned around the person. I consider use, materials, stones and the desired decorative intensity. The initial reference thus becomes the starting point for a standalone solution that is consistent with the person who will wear it.
The project originates as Christmas present for someone with a classic, refined and elegant style. I interpreted this brief through two shades of gold, diamonds and traditional engraving. I wasn’t trying to reconstruct a historical ornament. I wanted to retain its restraint and richness, adapting them to the proportions of earrings designed specifically for the person who would wear them.
I developed the structure using 3D modelling and prototyping, prior to lost-wax casting. The bead setting integrates the diamonds into the design. The burin engraving in the Florentine style instead defines the surfaces with minute, controlled marks. The polishing enhances the contrast between engraved parts and bright areas. In my workshop in Altamura I also oversee the final quality control of the piece.
Since 2009, I have guided private clients and couples through the creation of their jewellery in my atelier. Over thirty years of goldsmithing experience guide every stage: listening, design, workshop, quality control, and delivery. Awards, mentions, and accolades tell the story of the artisanal, technical, and creative journey that underpins my work. Each badge links to an in-depth article on the blog.
From a style, a technique or a precise aesthetic idea, I can develop earrings redesigned in their proportions and details for the person who will wear them.
