Ten carats and forty-three of aquamarine, inside pierced leaves.

€5.540,00 P416Fab

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

The leaves are cut from white gold by piercing, engraved with the burin one at a time, and they hold a natural aquamarine of ten carats and forty-three. Three centimeters and two high in all.

The natural brilliant-cut diamonds come to fifteen hundredths of a carat: they sit among the leaves, not at the center. The pendant comes with the certificate attesting its characteristics.

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.
Brilliant cut
Fifty-seven facets calculated so that light entering from above comes back out 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.
