Cone of light ring with bespoke handcrafted finish

Light cone

A concentrated light in the centre, built through measured proportions and a discreet presence

The creation

This bespoke white gold ring focuses the gaze on the central gemstone, accompanied by a luminous halo and diamonds which continue along the shank. The upper part maintains a compact profile, while the transition towards the band progressively lightens the composition. On the hand, the effect is present but measured: the light remains the protagonist without making the volume excessive.

We design the light around your hand

Cone of light shows how brightness and proportions can become the starting point for a new ring designed around the hand.

The initial meeting is used to assess gems, proportions, structure and the feasibility of the new project.

Personalised jewellery

Cone of light belongs to my archive of completed creations and documents a precise exploration of the relationship between luminosity, proportions and the hand. A new ring is redesigned taking into account the person, the selected gemstones, the size, the metal, the intended use and the desired presence. In my workshop in Altamura, I personally oversee the necessary checks to ensure that structure, wearability and visual appeal achieve a personal balance.

From inspiration to design

Inspiration

The project stems from the client's desire to wear a luminous ring without seeking an overly flashy effect. The direction chosen was therefore to concentrate the brilliance in the central part, while maintaining an orderly and proportioned structure. The name Cono di luce (Cone of light) sums up this intention: guiding the gaze towards the centre and letting the brightness gradually diminish along the hand.

Materials and finishes

I developed Cono di luce in 18-carat white gold with natural diamonds. 3D modelling and prototyping made it possible to control the height of the central part, the thicknesses and the proportions before lost-wax casting. The setting organises the distribution of the gems between the centre and the shank, while the polishing and quality control complete a structure monitored to achieve precision, stability and comfort.

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.

Do you want to start from a creation like this?

A central gemstone, a proportion or a precise way of interpreting light can guide a new design. In my studio in Altamura we can define its presence, structure and wearability together.

The initial meeting is to clarify desires, materials, structure, timelines, and feasibility. It doesn't require an immediate decision.
