The creation

The white gold pendant with Pearl e diamonds Tentazione Bianca develops a sinuous composition that envelops the central volume without closing it off. The pearl introduces a soft and compact presence, while the path of the metal opens out in successive curves and ends in a tapered shape. The diamonds follow selected portions of the structure and build contrasts of light. When worn, the pendant maintains a balanced and legible vertical development.

From a personal image to a new form

A figurative suggestion can become the starting point for a new project built around the person.

The initial meeting serves to clarify direction, proportions, materials and feasibility. It does not require an immediate decision.

Personalised jewellery

White Temptation belongs to my archive and documents a solution born from a precise reference. Every new jewel is redesigned considering the person, proportions, materials, use, and wearability. In my atelier in Altamura, I directly follow this path so that an image, a suggestion, or a desire can find a new, coherent form, without duplicating a creation already made.

From inspiration to design

Inspiration

The stated inspiration stems from an imaginary legend: a sea snake, attracted by a pearl, decides against seizing it and ends up enveloping it in a gesture of custodianship. I adopted this tension as a design reference, translating the transition from impulse to protection through a continuous line that changes direction around the centre. The pearl remains the visual focal point of the composition, whilst the sinuous body accompanies its presence without overpowering it.

Materials and finishes

I developed White Temptation through 3D modelling, allowing me to control the flow of the curves, the distances from the pearl and the progression of the volumes. The 18-carat white gold defines a continuous structure upon which the diamond pavé introduces a luminous texture at the intended points. Polishing completes the contrast between the metal surfaces and the stones, while quality control verifies continuity, finish and the correct proportion between the various parts of the pendant.

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.
