You hail from an Italian family of jewelry artisans
with a history spanning more than a century long for
creating exquisite jewelry made of precious and semi-
precious stones for the upper echelons of society in
Europe, as well as, for discriminating women in many
other countries across the world. With a heritage as
rich as this it is not so surprising that you also design
stunning pieces of jewelry. Have you always known
that you too would follow family tradition? My family tradition is my true passion and therefore
who I am. My jewelry is made of many rare and
unique elements, for example the famous “Aphrodite”
necklace, a museum piece created of 15mm south sea
pearls, rare corals, 18kt gold and diamonds, it is at its
center a vision of the goddess hand carved in Ivory. I
am fully aware that my jewelry designs are one of a
kind works of art, which connect with the passionate
collector. Much of the jewelry my family created has
become treasures, which have been passed down
from generation to generation.
