This white gold ring with Ruby e diamonds it focuses presence on the oval gemstone, nestled between brackets. The diamonds follow part of its contour and introduce a finer sparkle, while the shank grows towards the top without breaking the continuity of the shape. On the hand the volume appears bold yet refined, with a visual balance built between the chromatic centre, polished surfaces and openings.

The initial meeting serves to understand what you wish to make visible and what you prefer to leave solely within the meaning of the piece of jewellery.
In brackets belongs to my archive of past creations and holds a personal meaning that cannot simply be transferred into another form. A new project is redesigned taking into account the person, the proportions of the hand, the gemstones, the metal, the intended use and what one wishes to cherish. In my workshop in Altamura I personally oversee every stage, ensuring that construction and intention remain consistent.
The project stems from a moment experienced by the client with her partner, referred to simply by the words “(in brackets)”. The precise meaning has deliberately remained private and I have no reason to turn it into a story other than the one entrusted to the jewel. I therefore worked on the relationship between the ruby, opposing curves and proportions, allowing the form to guard that memory without making it explicit to the observer.
3D modelling and prototyping made it possible to control heights, thicknesses and the ratio between the gemstone and the structure prior to lost-wax casting. The prong setting supports the ruby, whilst the pavé follows the curves with a more continuous sparkle. Polishing and quality control complete the manufacturing process.
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 memory can be important even when it remains private. In my atelier in Altamura, we can translate it into a new form through gemstones, proportions, and details chosen together.
The initial meeting is to clarify desires, materials, structure, timelines, and feasibility. It doesn't require an immediate decision.
