necklace
Nature is a continuous font of inspiration for my handmade work. Here, this one-of-a-kind, sustainable, and elegant piece reminds me of marine fossils.

The necklace is created in copper and brass and finished with a natural patina; the chain is in oxidized sterling silver. Of course, this distinctive necklace is available in our online shop here!

It doesn’t look like an easy metal to work with, but silver is actually malleable and offers the opportunity to create unique pieces. “Forging” is an ancient metalsmithing method that allows controlling the shape of silver and other nonferrous metals by hitting the material with a special hammer. The metal needs to be heated with a torch beforehand.
In the image, this one-of-a-kind pendant (for sale online) is forged using the technique described above.

A high tide (“marea alta” in the language of the designer) inspired the design of this versatile, unique, unisex and handmade 3-in-1 piece. The “marea alta” looks amazing as a distinctive necklace with a chain, as a bangle, or as a hair holder with its own fork (included with this piece). Check out all the possibilities here!

I love to make versatile jewelry and this bacone da seta hat band / necklace is just that. Inspired by a silkworm ("baco da seta" in the language of the designer) this piece is unique, handmade, organic-looking, and unisex, all at once. You can wear it as a one-of-a-kind hat band (and yes, it fits any hat!), as a long or short necklace, and even as a wrapped bracelet. The bacone is handcrafted in soft organic cotton with hand-stitched Japanese cotton thread and finished with brass. And of course, it’s available in selected shops and in our online store here!

One of the things that I like the most about jewelry-making is to create pieces that are totally original and one of a kind. I often oxidize silver, bronze, and copper and add patinas to produce exclusive pairs of earrings, rings, cuffs, or necklaces. I also use everyday household materials like sea salt and fine salt, eggs, water, vinegar, etc. to change colors and/or add texture to a specific piece. The result? Pieces that are always different from each other (and fun to make!)
