About

Metal teaches and challenges me.
Alive and demanding, it never fails to surprise,
and reveal unexpected beauty.

Bio

Originally from Italy, I now live and work in Paris, at La Villa des Arts.

Drawn to what is subtle and essential, I explore forms inspired by simple geometry, reimagined symbols, and the layered influences of the landscapes I encounter. Nature is one of my greatest sources of inspiration.

My path began at the crossroads of social sciences, urban studies, and international policies, enriched through research and fieldwork in Morocco, Lebanon, Italy, and France.

In 2019, while living in Beirut, jewelry found its way into my life. I discovered gesture, material, and a new language — an experience that sparked an inner shift.

Since then, jewelry has become my daily practice, both constant and essential.

What began as an intimate discovery has grown year after year, taking on its own space and shape. Jewels have this special magic that can connect and communicate without saying a word.

I hold a diploma from the School of Arts and Crafts in Vicenza. My training includes metalsmithing at École Boulle in Paris and contemporary jewelry at Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence. I have also refined my practice through workshops and studio experience across Italy and France, where I continue to work and learn.

Process

Jewelry is more than making objects. It is not about fashion or superficial beauty. It is wearable architecture, shaped at the intersection of craftsmanship and design, technique and emotion.

I seek a beauty that endures beyond trends. Only a small part of my experiments comes to light. I let ideas, sketches, and prototypes settle, sometimes for weeks, often for months or even years. Then I return to them, rework them, until a spark appears. That is the moment when they are ready to be shared with you.

My work is mainly made of metal, a living material that responds to time and gesture.

I combine traditional metalsmithing with contemporary techniques, selecting the process that best serves each project rather than following a fixed method.

Atelier

Every piece passes through my hands in my atelier in Paris.

I believe in slow creation rather than fast production.
Most pieces are made to order, crafted especially for you only after an order is placed.
