Octagonal emerald is a white gold ring with natural emerald e natural diamonds, built around the geometry of the centre stone. The luminous halo follows the rectangular profile and enhances its presence without interrupting its lines.
The clean shank complements the ring head, while the contrast between the deep green of the gemstone, the light metal and the points of light creates a neat and decisive balance on the hand.

I personally oversee every single step, from gemstone selection to prototype testing and the final quality check, including online.
Octagonal emerald belongs to my archive of completed works and documents a project built around a specific gemstone and the client's requests. It is not a shape to be reproduced identically: every new ring is redesigned taking into account the stone, hand anatomy, proportions, heights, materials, and intended use.
In my workshop in Altamura I personally oversee every phase, turning the initial brief into a personal and technically sound solution.
The client found the initial reference in my Creations gallery to imagine a ring different from those already commercially available. After selecting the natural emerald together, I developed an independent structure based on her actual proportions, studying the relationship between the octagonal cut, diamonds, prongs and basket.
The prototype made it possible to check the height, thicknesses and overall presence directly on the hand prior to final production.
I designed the ring using 3D modelling and prototyping, adapting every structure to the shape of the natural octagonal-cut emerald. After lost-wax casting in 18-carat white gold, the emerald and natural diamonds were assembled using claw setting. The polishing enhances the continuity between the shank and the basket, while the quality control checks the finishes, structural stability and consistency between the design and the finished piece.
Every review reflects a real commission: the initial consultation, the listening process, the definition of the project, the anticipation and the moment the finished piece becomes part of the client’s life.
Technical expertise, professional registrations and qualifications have accompanied the development of my work in the goldsmithing and jewellery field.
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 carefully chosen gemstone requires a setting designed around its true characteristics. In my Altamura studio, we will evaluate shape, proportions, materials and wearability together.
The initial meeting is to clarify desires, materials, structure, timelines, and feasibility. It doesn't require an immediate decision.
