Collection Prestige·Bracciale·Florentine style
Gold and diamond bracelet, Florentine craftsmanship
Raised crossing lines, pierced and engraved by hand.
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.
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.
