"I was born and raised in Italy, where my first discipline was goldsmithing. I studied applied arts at one of the country’s former art institutes, and then entered a traditional workshop, learning under my master in the way generations before me had — with patience, rigor, and attention to craft. That foundation has stayed with me across the thirteen years I’ve worked as a goldsmith.

Now based in London, I try to push those traditions into a contemporary register: designing and crafting pieces that test what ‘heritage’ means today — and what it might mean in a hundred years. For me, detail is everything: it’s where identity and meaning sit. I return to it constantly, both in the process of making and in the finished work. The jewelry becomes a way of questioning permanence, individualism, and narrative, but also a way of continually searching — and finding — myself through the act of making."
