Me...
I'm Stefania, an architect. I've been designing jewelry since 2010.
I started because I couldn't find anything that felt like me. Then other people started asking for it.
I think the way an architect does: form, weight, proportion, surface. I choose every raw stone myself, one by one, and a jewel often starts right there.
Most of my work is made to order. It begins with an idea, a stone, or a moment you want to mark, and we build the jewel together.
and Them
Every jewel starts as a wax model. The wax is lost and silver takes its place: this is lost-wax casting, one of the oldest techniques in goldsmithing.
Then I finish every surface. That's why no two jewels are ever the same: the marks change, the finish changes.
I'm not after shine. I'm after character, and a jewel you recognize yourself in.
