ornamentodinamico

I have been designing jewellery since I was a child.In the 1970s and 80s I would see my mother graced with incredible jewels created by architects, designers and painters – jewels more like small wearable sculptures or structures than the more usual rich and boring bourgeois items.Some I still jealously keep.Creating and giving simple and minimal shape to white gold or silver has always been a passion, at first as a game – and now with «ornamentodinamico» (Dynamic Ornament) it has become a first series collection designed for superleggero. Three necklaces in sterling silver, entirely hand-crafted starting from the grains of silver and inspired by the simple and minimal interlacing spokes of a bicycle.The purity of the lines, the precision in the shapes, the ratios and precious details – three small and elegant sculptures to wear in everyday life.Stay shiny, stay chic!
