The creation

It is an engagement ring with Aquamarine in 18-carat white gold and diamonds natural, built around the luminous presence of the central gemstone. The shank develops multiple lines that flank the composition, whilst the diamonds enhance the passage of light towards the centre. On the hand, the aquamarine takes on a dominant role, balanced by the bright and intricate structure of the metal.

Which place holds your promise?

This piece of jewellery shows how a lived-in place and a significant moment can guide a new engagement ring designed around another story.

The first meeting serves to understand which elements of the story deserve to take shape and which must remain more intimate.

Narrative jewel

A promise can become so bound to a place that it makes it part of one's memory. For Promessa, that place is the nature traversed during a hike, amid waterfalls and lakes, the chosen setting to make their engagement official. The aquamarine occupies the centre of the piece as a luminous presence linked to that water-scaped setting, while white gold and diamonds build a frame of light around it. The narrative remains within the jewel without becoming literal.

This ring belongs to my archive of created pieces and documents a journey born from the encounter between a story, a gemstone and a concrete verification of proportions. A new ring is not simply repeated starting from this shape: it is redesigned according to the person, the hand, the materials, the intended use and the meaning to be preserved.

From inspiration to design

Inspiration

The Promessa ring is born from the memory of a hike among waterfalls and lakes, chosen as the setting for a promise of love and the moment of engagement. From this episode, I developed a direction in which the aquamarine becomes the visual centre of the design, naturally evoking the water environment described in the story. I did not seek to reproduce a landscape, but rather to preserve within the piece of jewellery the relationship between place, light and meaning.

Materials and finishes

I worked with 18-carat white gold, aquamarine and natural diamonds, developing the project through 3D modelling, prototyping and lost-wax casting. Pavé setting, bright-cut setting, polishing and surface treatment complete the piece. The prototype allowed the client to check proportions, heights and thicknesses on the hand before final production.

Certifications and registrations

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

Over thirty years of goldsmithing experience guide every stage: listening, design, workshop, quality control, and delivery.

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.
