Gold and diamond bracelet, Florentine craftsmanship

Raised crossing lines, pierced and engraved by hand.

€9.300,00 B55Fb

Drawn and built by hand at the bench, in Tosi.

The surface is a weave of raised lines that cross: from a distance it is a solid volume, close up it is a design that changes with the light. It is the work that made the Florentine goldsmiths' school, and here it is carried out with piercing and the burin, by hand.

Twenty-five grams eighty of eighteen-carat white gold, and eighty-one points of natural brilliant-cut diamonds, color F and clarity VS1.

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.
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 piece leaves the bench made to order: sizes and details are agreed 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.
