The creation

Geometrie is a yellow gold ring featuring emerald Natural octagon cut, built on a decisive relationship between lines, volumes and surfaces. The stone concentrates the gaze at the centre, while the shank develops a wide and articulated structure, lightened by internal voids that define its profile. The alternation between engraved parts and polished areas adds visual depth without interrupting the clarity of the composition.

From desired geometry to a personal project

From this formal research, a new bespoke ring can be born, reimagined in its proportions, material and the character of the person who will wear it.

I follow the process directly, from the initial consultation to the technical verification of the shape prior to production.

Personalised jewellery

Geometrie belongs to my archive of completed works and bears witness to a journey built on a specific request. In my workshop in Altamura, every new project is redesigned taking into account the hand, proportions, materials, intended use and aesthetic direction. Even when an archival creation becomes a reference, the work begins anew from listening and leads to an autonomous solution, consistent with the individual.

From inspiration to design

Inspiration

The initial request was focused on a contemporary and recognisable ring through defined geometries, without resorting to diamonds. The emerald was chosen as the sole gemmological presence and as the chromatic focal point of the project. I therefore developed a structure capable of combining planes, openings and the continuity of the metal, keeping the design legible and consistent with the essential character indicated by the clients.

Materials and finishes

I crafted Geometrie in 18-carat yellow gold with a natural octagonal-cut emerald. The design involved 3D modelling and prototyping, allowing proportions, heights and thicknesses to be checked directly on the finger prior to final production. This was followed by lost-wax casting, flush setting, hand-engraved silk-effect burin work, polishing and quality control, with careful attention to the relationship between the surfaces and the structure.

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 are looking for a ring with a precise design language, I can start from your formal preferences and turn them into a project tailored to your hand and for real-world use.

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