A high wave is coming

What's boiling right now in the ACQUA jewelry collection? This time is "onda alta" (high wave in English),  a series of one of a kind rings handmade by Maddalena Bearzi in her Los Angeles studio. These elegant (and always different) jewelry pieces are the perfect match for the "onda" bangles and the "onda" necklace. Take a look at the slideshow here below...

How do I stay inspired?

"How do you stay inspired?" This is one of the questions that Brett from IAMTHELAB asked me during an interview about my jewelry work. My answer was: "All my pieces are inspired by the natural world and I find sources of creativity everywhere around me. I don’t need to go hiking or be out at sea with large whales to let my imagination go wild. I can just walk my dog near my home in Los Angeles and find inspiration in a piece of bark coming off a tree, a dead leaf on the ground or a lizard “sunbathing” on a rock."
