Culture & Context
Jewelry that comes from knowledge of goldsmithing techniques and formal research of essential lines and local natural elements. Made of metal and discarded organic materials.In addition to their aesthetic value, they carry a cultural message of sensitivity and care aimed at the environment.The intuition to combine metal and natural materials was born in 2009, supported by my dissertation research on the “Organic Ornaments of New Guinea,” housed in the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology in Florence. “Early in his history, man made use of the nature in which he was totally immersed to create the first ornaments, he first felt the need to adorn his body. . .” G. Semper
As well as choosing to use non-precious metals, “A piece of jewelry is a precious, rare object, something that has value and not always a price. What determines value? The material or the author’s intervention . . .” B. Munari
