He has exhibited his works in Basel, Germany, in New York in 1991 at the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology, in Japan and in Italy. After his death, several memorial exhibitions were held, one in September 2004 at the Ente Fiera di Vicenza, and the other in October at the Regione Campania in New York on the occasion of Columbus Day celebrations. His works are exposed in a private museum in Torre del Greco and his private collections in the United States and Japan are dedicated to the coral work[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Materials” tab_id=”1627375066993-9e5ffd04-d782″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1689606286944{padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]

SARDONIX SHELL

The Sardonix shell origins were mistakenly attributed to the coasts of Madagascar, but actually its natural habitat is the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Its outer surface has white-to-cream shades, while its internal dark brown layer makes the shell very suitable for the realization of cameos. The strong chromatic contrast between the outer and the inner layers of the shell puts in evidence the representation carved, by arising the design from the bottom surface, as a bas-relief. This contrast creates a great light and shadow effect and emphasizes the depth and the forms of the whole representation. Each step of the shell processing, from the size selection to the shaping and engraving, is still carried out with the local traditional methods.

18 Kt GOLD

Pure gold, as present in nature, is a malleable material. So, in order to be used in jewellery, it must be alloyed with other metals.  As a consequence, gold can have different colorations: yellow gold requires additional alloys like brass, zinc and silver; in white gold, on the other hand, are used alloys of brass (in reduced amount compared to yellow gold) and palladium.

DIAMOND

From Greek Adamas, unconquerable, the name diamond refers to the hardness of this precious gem. Diamond is the crystalized form of carbon, formed below the Earth’s surface over billions of years; indeed, it needs high pression and temperature to crystallize.

Diamond is always been considered a symbol of love: the roman emperor Maximilian I started this tradition by gifting his beloved Mary of Burgundy with a diamond ring.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
