How did you get your start designing jewelry? I used to spend my summers each year at my father’s Goldsmithing factory where I would watch the craftsmen at work and try my hand at making objects of my own. My collection debuted in 2000 at the Vicenza Oro fair – my aim was to express my personal vision of life, my passions and my curiosity through jewelry design. We just celebrated our 18th anniversary, which is an incredible milestone for me personally – I can’t believe how fast time has gone by and how we have grown.

What inspires your designs? I draw inspiration from the beauty I find in my everyday life; colors in nature, architectural design, and I imagine what my clients want to wear next! Also, I am very inspired by the places I travel to, and often, I name my collections after the destination that has inspired me – Jaipur, Africa and Paradise.
What trend are you loving right now? Layers – My necklaces are meant to be worn together. You can layer them on top of one another, use different lengths and ultimately create your own perfect necklace for any outfit.
