Florentine Renaissance style Jewelry

Spilla Cammeo Marte - oro giallo, oro bianco , diamanti e cammeo in conchiglia - stile rinasc. fiorentino

The Florentine style jewels are small works of fine jewelery. You may appreciate them because of their classic design and exquisite finishing feature.

The ancient techniques used for metal processing are the fretwork and the burin engraving.

The light stroke of design in these jewels and the meticulous gold processing are reminiscent of the texture of a fabric, evoking fine lace and embroidery.

The dominant colors of these jewels are gold, white and yellow, accentuated by the brilliance of diamonds and precious gemstones.

The cut of the stones is symmetrical and the decorative motifs are linear and geometric.

VESUVIAN NECKLACE

Collana in oro giallo e argento 925 con sfere in lava vulcanica e maschere in pietra lavica

VESUVIAN NECKLACE

The “Vesuviana” necklace follows the same inspiration as the Antica Roma bijoux line, it is a journey into the past, into the beauty brought to light by the work of archaeologists. The eruption of Vesuvius buried the ancient neighboring cities for centuries, paintings, statues, architecture, objects of common use, everything has remained unchanged over time. The necklace is made of volcanic materials, Vesuvian lava stones of different shades have been carefully engraved by hand depicting ancient faces, masks, telamons, subjects that we would have found in the ancient theater, in the architecture of a palace, in the frescoes of the patrician villas. It is like grouping together in a single jewel the set of various finds, set in precious metals that rightly enhance a treasure of the past. The necklace is an example of the perfect union that can exist between valuable materials and other very simple ones such as volcanic lava and lava stones. The particular goldsmith work is limited to the back of the jewel, singular bezels decorated with the fretwork technique welcome the various faces that wind along the necklace. Each bezel has a burnished silver component that matches the black of the lava stone and at the same time highlights the decorative effect obtained on the yellow gold through the fretwork.

Mars cameo brooch – yellow gold, white gold, diamonds and shell cameo

Spilla Cammeo Marte - oro giallo, oro bianco , diamanti e cammeo in conchiglia - stile rinasc. fiorentino

Refined and elegant 18 kt yellow and white gold brooch with diamonds and shell cameo depicting the god Mars.
This jewel made entirely by hand with the fretwork technique, is inspired by a typical Florentine Renaissance goldsmith’s art, where the metal was worked in such a way as to reproduce ornamental designs used on fabrics or lace; the metal was then further refined through the burin engraving, thanks to which matt and glossy chromatic contrasts were obtained, giving life to completely unique decorations.
The back, in addition to a meticulous finish that enhances the light of the diamonds (a-jour), shows the monogram of my initials (I.B) on the bottom of the cameo.

Opal Anchor

Ciondolo in oro giallo con opale nero e diamanti multicolori

It is a pendant which, thanks to the shape of the black opal and the vivacity of its colours, recalls the sea…
A single color would not be enough to describe the thousand shades of art, so what more suitable gem if not an opal, what more precious metal if not gold to be able to set it, what eternally luminous stones if not diamonds.
