The white gold and diamond pendant “A Gift for You” focuses the gaze on the central stone, held by two hands shaped in the gesture of an offering. A circular element envelops the composition and gives order to its solids and voids, whilst the polished finish of the gold interacts with softer surfaces and the light of the natural diamond. When worn, the pendant maintains a distinct and understated presence, with its luminous focal point close to the body.

The initial meeting serves to understand the meaning of the project, evaluate its direction and feasibility, and define the initial references.
At the heart of this piece of jewellery is a simple gesture: two hands presenting a gift to a loved one. The natural diamond thus becomes the luminous focal point of the composition, whilst the hands transform the act of giving into a form to be worn. Created for a birthday, the pendant links the light of the stone to the care contained within the gesture, portraying the gift not as something separate from the relationship, but as a token thoughtfully conceived for the recipient.
“Un dono per te” belongs to my archive of created works and documents a design journey, not a shape to be repeated. Each new pendant is redesigned around the person, the proportions, the materials, the use, and the meaning it must hold.
The project stems from the request for a symbolic lighting feature to be given to a loved one for a birthday. The act of giving became the formal reference: two hands present and cradle the diamond, transforming a classic element into a personal composition. The client took inspiration from the piece of jewellery Life present in mine gallery of commissioned work.
I developed the pendant through 3D modelling and prototyping to verify proportions, heights, thicknesses, and the relationship between the hands, the diamond, and the circular structure prior to manufacturing. The 18-carat white gold crafting involved lost-wax casting, prong setting, polishing, and quality control. The prototype allowed us to evaluate the presence of the jewel and refine the details before moving on to the final material.
Every review reflects a real commission: the initial consultation, the listening process, the definition of the project, the anticipation and the moment the finished piece becomes part of the client’s life.
Technical expertise, professional registrations and qualifications have accompanied the development of my work in the goldsmithing and jewellery field.
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.
If you wish to preserve a gesture, a memory or a personal meaning in a piece of jewellery, I can guide you from listening to the definition of its form and proportions.
The initial meeting is to clarify desires, materials, structure, timelines, and feasibility. It doesn't require an immediate decision.
