The Love Heart rose gold pendant develops an openwork composition in which opposing curves, floral elements and relief surfaces build depth. The outer profile guides the gaze towards the centre, while the empty spaces visually lighten the structure and allow light to pass through. When worn, the pendant maintains a defined, vertical presence, striking a balance between the richness of the design and overall legibility.

The initial meeting serves to clarify references, design direction and feasibility, without requiring an immediate decision.
Heart of love belongs to my archive of completed creations and bears witness to a solution born from a specific request. Each new piece of jewellery is redesigned taking into account the person, proportions, materials, usage, wearability and meaning. In my atelier in Altamura, I personally oversee the transition from the initial reference to the construction, so that each project develops its own identity without repeating a previously executed form.
The client wanted to start from the image of an upside-down heart and arabesque decorative suggestions. In the meaning attributed to the project, that shape recalled a receptive vessel and the divine feminine. I therefore worked on curved lines, openings and ornamental motifs, avoiding a literal interpretation: the initial idea becomes an articulated structure, in which the symbol remains recognisable but engages with a broader design.
I developed the creation through 3D modelling and prototyping, checking proportions, heights and thicknesses prior to crafting in 18-carat rose gold. Following lost-wax casting, I proceeded with the assembly and manual shaping of the metal, and then hand-engraving with a burin. Polishing and quality control completed the work, with attention to the continuity of the curves, the definition of the reliefs and the precision of the surfaces.
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 would like to start from a symbol, a decorative motif or a formal intuition, I can guide you in defining a new bespoke piece of jewellery.
