Quercia is a pair of 18-carat rose gold wedding rings, built on a continuous line that recalls the bark chosen by the couple as a reference. The relief runs along the surface with an irregular yet controlled rhythm, alternating solids, grooves and reflections. The feel on the finger was verified as early as the prototype stage, so as to calibrate proportions, heights and thicknesses prior to final production.

The initial meeting serves to understand which elements of your story can take shape, in what proportions, and through which material.
The oak does not enter these wedding rings as a simple decoration. Its bark preserves the memory of a ritual experienced on the Pollino, while the tree rings become an image of the promise the couple has chosen to hand down. In the design, the engraved surface makes that memory visible without recounting it literally: two wedding bands transform a place, a shared gesture and the time of nature into a presence to be carried with one.
Quercia belongs to my archive of completed creations and tells the story of a specific journey, born from meeting a couple and their history. Every new project is redesigned from scratch: listening, hand proportions, materials, daily use and meaning guide different choices.
The inspiration stems from a symbolic ritual experienced by the couple during a hike on the Pollino, in a mountain place meaningful to them. Beneath an oak tree, they entrusted nature with the request for two rings with which to celebrate their wedding, reading an image of continuity in the rings of the trunk. From that gesture came the choice to transform the bark of the tree into a trace to be worn in the wedding bands, over time.
I developed Quercia in 18-carat rose gold through 3D modelling and prototyping, steps that allowed the couple to try on the rings and check proportions, heights and thicknesses together. The creation continued with lost-wax casting, burin engraving, polishing and quality control. The couple followed the steps in Goldsmiths for a day trail, coming into direct contact with the process right through to delivery. The engraving gives rhythm to the surface and to the light.
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.
Discover what it means to create your wedding rings together
Come into the workshop and discover a different way of experiencing the creation of your wedding rings.
You will be involved in the most significant phases of the process, accompanied step by step throughout the experience.
At the end of the day, you will take away not only the wedding rings, but also the memory of having made them together with your own hands.
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.
We can start from a place, a gesture or a symbol that belongs to your story and translate it into a new wedding ring design, created together in my studio in Altamura.
The initial meeting is to clarify desires, materials, structure, timelines, and feasibility. It doesn't require an immediate decision.
