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

Two slender arcs, side by side: one in white gold, one in yellow. They touch at the top, where the chain passes, and open out as they descend. On the white arc, in a row, three small brilliants. At the bottom the peridot sits crosswise between the two arcs, held only at its two points by yellow gold claws: there is no metal under the stone, and the light goes straight through it. Three centimeters tall in all.

Seven grams forty of eighteen carat gold. The peridot is natural, marquise cut, two carats fifteen: it is the largest stone and it sets the color of the whole piece. The three natural brilliant-cut diamonds come to six hundredths of a carat together, color F and clarity VVS, and they sit at the top, where the chain takes the eye first. The ring that matches it exists: same drawing and same stone, and it is photographed beside the pendant in the last three shots.

How it is made

The words of the trade, one by one, explained to those who do not know them.

Two golds on the same piece: White and yellow have different hardnesses and different soldering temperatures: setting them together means working two metals that do not react the same way under the flame, and making them meet without the joint showing.
Claw setting: Claws are small gold tabs bent over the stone, holding it with a few millimeters of metal and no setting behind it. They are closed cold, one at a time, with the gem already in its seat: a claw pulled too tight bites into the stone, one left loose loses it, and between the two there is not much margin.
Marquise cut: An oval drawn out into two opposite points, with the facets running towards the long axis. The two halves have to come out symmetrical, because in a marquise the eye reads the axis at once and a point off center can no longer be corrected. And the points are where the stone chips: that is why it is there that the setting has to cover it.
Brilliant cut: Fifty-seven facets calculated so that the light entering from above comes back out the same way. 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.
