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

Five stones in a row across the front: two oval emeralds, set lengthways along the band, and three brilliants — one between the two greens, one on each side to close. There are two emeralds, and the piece is called «Noi due». Under each emerald the setting is open, four claws bent into a V and nothing else, and the light comes in from below as well. The yellow gold band is smooth and thins towards the back.

Three grams eighty of eighteen-carat yellow gold. The two emeralds come to eighty points of a carat, the three brilliants twenty-two: the green stones weigh almost four times the white ones, and they are the subject. The emerald is a beryl, and it must be treated as one: high on the hardness scale, but fragile to knocks on the edges, and never in the ultrasonic bath.

How it is made

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

Emerald: Emerald is a beryl, and almost no emerald is clean: inside it has inclusions and microfractures known in the trade as the «jardin». That is why it is stabilized with oils or resins, and that is why it never goes into the ultrasonic bath: the vibration works on the fractures the stone already has and widens them. On the hardness scale it sits high — scratching it is not easy — but hardness is not toughness: a sharp knock on an edge chips it where a diamond would not notice. Whoever mounts it tightens the claws just enough to hold the stone and not one degree more, because the pressure that settles a diamond is already too much on an emerald.
Brilliant cut: Fifty-seven facets calculated so that the light entering from above comes back from 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.
