This rose gold ring with opal Ethiopian develops a broad, organic composition around the central gem. The shapes are arranged in an irregular yet controlled manner, alternating solids, openings and small accents of colour. The opal captures shifting reflections, whilst yellow diamonds e citrine they accompany the light with warm tones.
On the hand, the structure takes on a prominent, articulate presence rich in depth.

The initial meeting serves to understand the baseline reference and to define the gemstones, proportions, materials and methods for checking the new project.
Fico d'India belongs to my archive of completed creations and bears witness to a formal exploration. A new project is redesigned around the person, the proportions of the hand, the selected gemstones, the metal, the intended use and the meaning of the gift. In my workshop in Altamura I personally oversee every inspection, so that organic form, comfort and visual presence achieve a personal balance.
The project starts from Opal Nopal, a creation already present in my archive, chosen by the client as a reference for its organic language and the relationship between opal, colour and structure. I reworked that direction through new proportions, combinations and manufacturing possibilities, building a ring intended to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl. The initial reference thus became an autonomous composition.
I developed the creation in 18-carat rose gold with Ethiopian opal, natural yellow diamonds and natural citrine. 3D modelling and prototyping made it possible to verify dimensions, heights and thicknesses prior to lost-wax casting. The pavé and flush settings articulate the different luminous areas, whilst polishing and quality control complete a complex structure, designed to maintain continuity and wearability.
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.
A gemstone, an anniversary or an archival creation can open up a new design direction. In my atelier in Altamura we will evaluate together shape, colours, proportions and construction solutions.
The initial meeting is to clarify desires, materials, structure, timelines, and feasibility. It doesn't require an immediate decision.
