Production
1 jewel: 50 hours of work
Each of our collections begins with a story, evolves into a design, and comes to life through expert craftsmanship. We work with brass, which is electroplated with 18kt gold, hand-enameled, soldered with silver, and individually set, all by hand. To ensure a more intense and vibrant color, the enamel is prepared directly at the time of application and, once applied to the surface, is fired in a high-temperature kiln. Finally, each piece of jewelry goes through approximately 20 meticulous manufacturing steps before being packaged, resulting in a finely crafted piece entirely made in Italy.

Our product in 10 steps
Research
Each collection begins with the search for inspiring and meaningful stories.
From history to sketch
We transform stories into original hand-drawn drawings.
Digital development drawings
are converted into production-accurate graphics files.
Creating the shape
Drawing files are used to create brass shapes for each element.
18kt gold plating
The brass components are electroplated with 18kt gold for a radiant finish.
Hand enamelling
Each charm is hand-enamelled, one color at a time.
Each color takes about an hour to dry in the oven: a 6-color piece takes about 6 hours to complete.
Silver soldering
We apply silver solder to the components that need to be joined.
Assembly
All the elements are carefully assembled to build the final piece by adding crystal stones
Polishing
The finished jewel is hand polished to enhance its brilliance.
Quality control
Each piece of jewelry undergoes rigorous quality controls to ensure its excellence.
