€3.990,00
A188Fz
Drawn and built by hand at the bench, in Tosi.
Two golds and a row of sapphires. The rims are yellow gold, engraved with the burin until they look like two ropes; inside, the band is white gold pierced into leaves, and over the piercing run the oval sapphires, each in its own circle of yellow gold. Satin white below and polished yellow above: it is the contrast that makes the design read from a distance.
Nine grams and five, eighteen-carat gold in the two colors. The sapphires are natural and come to three carats and ninety in all. The band is nine millimeters wide: it is a wedding band, but the kind that is worn on its own.

The stones
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, until the solid sheet becomes a design of voids. It is a process that allows no second attempt: what is taken away does not come back.
- Burin engraving
- The burin is a small goldsmith's chisel pushed by hand. It does not scratch: it lifts a shaving of metal and leaves a clean groove that catches the light. It is the mark that for five centuries has set the Florentine goldsmiths' school apart.
- Two golds on the same piece
- White and yellow have different hardnesses and soldering temperatures: mounting them together means working two metals that do not react in the same way under the flame, and making them meet without the joint showing.
I don't look at what others are doing: I would rather create in my own style. That is what makes our jewelry recognizable.
Fabio Gori — Anna Gioielli, Tosi
Made for you
Every ring is made in 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.
