The creation

White Kiss is a white gold ring with natural diamond, built around a compact and dynamic central composition. The gemstone concentrates the light, while the metal shapes approach and recede, creating minute openings around the centre.

The clean shank accompanies the volume without weighing it down; on the hand, the piece of jewellery maintains a sharp presence, balanced between brilliance, structure and continuity of lines.

Let's design a ring for your special occasion

White Kiss can inspire a new bespoke ring, redesigned around the gemstone, the hand, and the occasion to be celebrated.

I personally oversee the choice of proportions, the prototype, the manufacturing process and the final inspection.

Personalised jewellery

White Kiss belongs to my archive of completed works and documents how a previous creation can guide a new project without being repeated. Each ring is redesigned considering the gemstone, the proportions of the hand, the material, the intended use, the occasion and wearability.

In my workshop in Altamura I personally oversee every step, so that the initial reference becomes a standalone solution that is consistent with the person who will wear it.

From inspiration to design

Inspiration

The project stems from Two-tone kiss, a creation from my archive, taken as an initial reference and not as a form to be repeated. For this ring intended for a birthday, the choice of the diamond was guided by size and proportions, so as to build a new relationship between gemstone, structure and hand.

I kept the idea of the kiss and the lips as lines that meet around the light, redesigning their volumes and connections in an entirely white gold composition.

Materials and finishes

I developed Bacio bianco through 3D modelling and prototyping, checking the ratio between the diamond, the central structure, and the height and thickness of the shank. After lost-wax casting in 18-carat white gold, the gemstone was flush set.

Polishing creates continuous joints and enhances the dialogue with light, while quality control checks finishes, stability, and consistency between the design and execution.

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 birthday can become the opportunity to design a shape built around the person and the chosen gemstone. In my studio in Altamura we will evaluate proportions, material and wearability together.

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