ABOUT ME
Hi, it's great that you're here!!
I'm Stefania, born in Bologna, I studied the Art Institute.
I've been living abroad for more than 10 years and this has allowed me to get to know different cultures and different arts. I'm fascinated by every form of art, I love to experiment and create. I have always loved painting, but in recent years I have started creating jewellery, I love using different materials and different techniques, because by using different materials I can express and give shape to what I am my images and my inspirations, using only one technique, I would feel limited and would not be able to express my whole self.
Organic collection:
My jewels, inspired by nature, are born from the desire to express my gratitude to our mother earth.
By wearing them we remember and honor the beauty of nature.
They are made with real leaves, flowers,plants and branches.. this ensures that the essence of these natural elements is preserved inside.
Wearing these little secret treasure allows us to feel in harmony with nature, reminding a deep connection with the natural word.
Cicada
collection:
This collection was born from my desire to bring these wonderful specimens back to life.
The ancient Greeks already used jewels inspired by them as hair ornaments.
Cicadas symbolize purity and resurrection.
The cicadas that I use for my jewels are collected ethically by a network of insect lovers: butterfly breeders, collectors and entomologists all over the world.
They are collected at the end of their life cycle.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE MATERIAL and suggestions on how to preserve them:
-SILVER:the silver jewelery is made with 925 silver. It is a high purity silver and is nickel free.
-BRASS: the color, similar to gold, makes your brass jewelery very special. Brass is a non-ferrous alloy, therefore it cannot rust, composed of copper and zinc and therefore completely hypoallergenic.
Even if you don't polish it and leave it to itself, very decorous and interesting surfaces and patinas can be created. Aging and wear can also be considered a desired effect which in some creations is artificially created to obtain the antique effect..
To clean and polish brass simply use soap and water. Dip the soap in a bowl of hot water, wait for the water to cool slightly, then use a soft cloth to scrub the item. In this way the object will take on a shiny appearance. Paying attention to the stones it is also possible to use a soft brush.
-COPPER: copper is considered a pure, hypoallergenic and nickel free metal.
Throughout history, copper has been recognized as having various therapeutic properties, healing properties and other benefits deriving from wearing an ornament made with this metal.
Medical research attributes anti-inflammatory and antiseptic action to copper, and there are many applications in the therapeutic field.
The jewels are protected by special products, but over time they could still oxidize, as copper is a metal naturally subject to oxidation.
To preserve these jewels as much as possible, I recommend not keeping them in contact with soaps, perfumes and chemical products.
I recommend not wearing them when bathing in either fresh or salt water.
To make it shiny again you can use a very fine-grained abrasive pad (be careful of stones) or a cloth.
-GOLD PLATED:the gold plating is done with 24K gold.
Plating means that the base material is covered with a layer of gold.
I recommend cleaning the plated jewelery with a soft cloth to avoid damaging the plating.
-NATURAL ELEMENTS: for some of my unique creations I take inspiration from what the universe gives me and I use natural elements.
These elements are covered with copper using a galvanic technique.
