White gold ring with oval natural diamond, little hearts, front view

Little hearts

A white gold and diamond narrative ring, where minimalist lines preserve the meaning of an enduring bond

The creation

A white gold ring with diamond natural oval cut, built around a sharp and luminous central stone. The shank divides progressively and accompanies the stone with soft lines that create measured voids, lightening the profile. The result is a contemporary composition, balanced between the continuity of the metal, the light of the diamond and a slender visual perception on the hand.

A different story requires a new form

Cuoricini can suggest a new tailored journey where shape, proportions and material stem from a different, personal and unrepeatable story.

During the initial discussion, I listen to the meaning of the project and evaluate how to translate it into form, proportions and materials.

Narrative jewel

This piece of jewellery stems from the desire to give a restrained form to a bond that has successfully navigated a difficult period without losing continuity. The lines of the ring appear to follow separate paths before meeting around the central light: a movement that can evoke closeness, endurance and mutual choice. The story is left to the structure, without explaining everything: the material safeguards the meaning with discretion.

Cuoricini belongs to my archive of created works and documents a precise encounter between history, proportions, and design choices.

From inspiration to design

Inspiration

The starting point was precise: to look for something special without sacrificing simplicity, linearity and a contemporary character. The design also had to retain the meaning of a love capable of staying together during the pandemic. I therefore worked on lines that separate and come back together, letting the structure suggest connection and continuity without turning the story into a didactic symbol.

Materials and finishes

I designed 18-carat white gold little hearts with a natural oval-cut diamond, integrating 3D modelling and prototyping into the shape-definition process. Before final production, discussion and fitting allowed us to evaluate overall proportions, heights and thicknesses. Work continued with lost-wax casting, flush setting, polishing and quality control, maintaining consistency between design 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 want to transform a memory, a bond or a promise into matter, we can start from its meaning and build a new narrative project around the person who will wear it.

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