Collection Stile Decò·Anello·Florentine mesh work
Art Deco ring in white gold with natural diamonds, Florentine mesh craftsmanship
A diamond at the center of every lozenge in the piercing.
Drawn and built by hand at the bench, in Tosi.
The piercing draws a series of lozenges, and at the center of every lozenge a natural brilliant-cut diamond is set. The lines are geometric and clean: it is Deco taste grafted onto Florentine mesh work.
Eight grams eighty of eighteen-carat white gold, and one carat thirty-eight of natural diamonds, color F and clarity VVS. It comes with the certificate setting out its specifications.

How it is made
The words of the trade, one by one, explained to those who do not know them.
- Openwork
- The metal is drilled and then cut out from the inside with a very fine saw blade, until the solid sheet becomes a design of voids. It is a piece of work that allows no second attempt: what is taken away does not come back.
- Burin engraving
- The burin is a goldsmith's small chisel, pushed by hand. It does not scratch: it lifts a shaving of metal and leaves a clean furrow that catches the light. It is the mark that for five centuries has set the Florentine goldsmiths' school apart.
- Mesh work
- The piercing does not make a single hole: it makes a regular mesh, and every link of that mesh has to carry the weight of the others. Getting one cut wrong means weakening the whole net.
- Brilliant cut
- Fifty-seven facets calculated so that the light entering from above comes back out on the same side. It is the cut that makes a diamond sparkle, and the reason a badly cut diamond stays dull.
I don't look at what others are doing: I would rather create in my own style. That is what makes our jewelry recognizable.

Made for you
Every ring is made to the size of the person who will wear it: we settle it together before the work begins.
The goldsmith's workshop is also the place where made-to-measure jewellery is created and family pieces are restored: if you have an idea, or something you want brought back to how it was, that is where it starts.
A goldsmith's workshop in Tosi, on the slopes of the Pratomagno: Anna opened it in 1988, her sons Fabio and Francesco carry it on. Piercing, repoussé, chasing and burin engraving — the Florentine school, with the workshop in full view of the shop.
