The creation

Gemma Bianca is a white gold solitaire ring with diamond, built around a compact and visually open central section. The shank maintains a smooth, continuous line, while the setting develops around the stone with curved elements that follow its perimeter without weighing it down. The result concentrates the light on the diamond and maintains a balanced, clean and contemporary presence on the hand.

From the chosen reference to a new solution

An archival creation may suggest a direction, but the new ring only takes shape when proportions and structure are rethought for the wearer.

I follow the transition from the idea to the verification of the form directly, keeping aesthetic intention, proportions and feasibility together.

Personalised jewellery

Gemma Bianca belongs to my archive and documents how a previous geometry can evolve into an autonomous design. In my studio in Altamura, I do not transfer the same solution from one person to another: each new ring is redesigned considering the hand, gemstone, materials, intended use and desired character. The initial reference serves to guide the dialogue, not to determine the final shape in advance.

From inspiration to design

Inspiration

The client had recognised an interesting direction in the geometry of Gemma Bicolore, but wanted to translate it into a more uniform language, entrusted entirely to white gold. From that reference I developed a different solitaire, working on the relationship between the continuity of the shank, the opening of the setting and the centrality of the stone. The aim was to move away from the most conventional solutions without resorting to superfluous decorative effects.

Materials and finishes

I developed Gemma Bianca in 18-carat white gold with a natural diamond through 3D modelling and prototyping. The preliminary test made it possible to observe the piece of jewellery in relation to the hand and to correct, where necessary, heights, thicknesses and proportions before final production. This was followed by lost-wax casting, flush setting, polishing and quality control, with a focus on structural continuity and wearability.

Certifications and registrations

Technical expertise, professional registrations and qualifications have accompanied the development of my work in the goldsmithing and jewellery field.

Awards and recognition

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.

How is a piece of jewellery born?

A piece of jewellery can be inspired by a specific request or by a story worth cherishing. It is Custom when it starts with a shape, a stone, a material or a style to be crafted to measure. It becomes narrative When transforming a memory, symbol or personal passage into substance, proportion and meaning. Wedding rings, rings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets can follow both paths. In the Jewellery section, you can discover which one best suits your idea.

Do you want to start from a creation like this?

If you have identified a geometry that represents you, I can use it as a point of orientation to develop a different ring, built around the person and the gemstone.

The initial meeting is to clarify desires, materials, structure, timelines, and feasibility. It doesn't require an immediate decision.
