Openwork rose gold Arabian ring with ornamental craftsmanship

Arabia

Hand-pierced rose gold ring, inspired by Arabesque decoration.

The creation

Arabia is a bespoke 18-carat rose gold ring, featuring an open structure and a pierced decoration of strong visual presence. The design recalls Arabian-style motifs, with solids and voids that lighten the shape and let the light in.

In my workshop in Altamura I followed directly the relationship between ornament, wearability and detail.

Imagine your next bespoke ring

Arabia can inspire a new bespoke ring, born from visual references, real proportions and decorations designed to converse with the hand of the wearer.

The meeting serves to understand the form, intention and implementation possibilities of the new project.

Personalised jewellery

This card belongs to the archive of completed creations and is not intended to offer serial reproduction of the ring shown. A new project can start from an architectural inspiration, a decorative motif or a personal reference, to arrive at a different form that is coherent with the person who will wear it.

From inspiration to design

Inspiration

The starting point was the discussion with the client about selected images from a book dedicated to Moorish architectural decoration.

From those references, a search for balance between visual memory, comfort and precision of line was born, eventually transforming the ornamental motif into a wearable form.

Materials and finishes

The creation is crafted in 18-carat rose gold, with openwork carried out entirely by hand. The burin engraving, executed according to ancient Florentine techniques, accentuates the depth of the decoration and the rhythm of the surface.

Fretwork allows light to pass through the design without weighing down the structure.

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.
