Interviews

Design Interview

What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?

The Diamond Lace Set was inspired by classical lacework, interpreted through a contemporary lens. My goal was to translate the rhythm and structure of lace into precious metal and diamonds, preserving its delicacy while exploring depth and dimension. The idea was to evoke lightness, movement, and emotion in a way that speaks of both heritage and innovation.

What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?

My focus was to create a piece that balances intricate beauty with architectural strength. I wanted the wearer to feel elegance, refinement, and individuality. At the same time, I aimed to establish a signature style that could become an identifiable part of my design language

What are your future plans for this award winning design?

The Diamond Lace Set has become a signature within my collection and I plan to expand it into several variations and one-of-a-kind pieces. I also intend to present it to a select group of luxury retailers and galleries where the full story and craftsmanship behind the design can be truly appreciated. This set is already becoming a cornerstone of my brand identity, and I envision future pieces that carry forward its spirit and elegance. Most meaningfully, the set has been accepted into the permanent collection of the MOOD Museum in Como, which reinforces its value not only as fine jewelry but also as a piece of enduring artistic and cultural relevance.

Grand Interview

Your innovative approach to merging classical music inspiration with contemporary jewelry design in The Diamond Lace Jewelry Set is fascinating - could you elaborate on how musical elements influenced specific design features in the collection?

The Diamond Lace Jewelry Set was inspired by the timeless beauty and emotional depth of classical music. Music, as an art form, has an incredible power to resonate with the human soul, often bringing to mind intricate patterns and captivating ideas. I wanted to capture that feeling and translate it into something tangible. The lace-like structure reflects the delicate, layered nature of musical notes flowing together, while the modern touches give the collection a fresh, contemporary edge. For me, this collection is about balancing classical elegance with a modern twist, creating pieces that feel timeless yet completely relevant today. It’s my way of letting people wear a little piece of music’s harmony and rhythm in a form they can cherish every day.

The Diamond Lace Jewelry Set showcases an intriguing interplay between light and structure, particularly in the ring's mirror-like interior - what inspired this technical innovation and how did you perfect the angular design to enhance the central stone's brilliance?

The idea for the ring’s mirror-like interior came from my desire to amplify the natural beauty of the central stone using clever structural elements rather than relying solely on additional gems. By integrating reflective surfaces inside the setting, light is bounced back through the stone, creating a mesmerizing play of brilliance that feels almost infinite. Perfecting the angles required extensive testing and 3D modeling to ensure that each facet of the interior aligned perfectly with the stone’s cut. This approach creates a striking contrast between the airy lace-like exterior and the precise, light-catching interior — highlighting how thoughtful engineering can elevate elegance to a new level.

As sustainability becomes increasingly important in luxury jewelry, how did your decision to incorporate lab-grown Colombian emeralds in The Diamond Lace Jewelry Set reflect both ethical considerations and aesthetic vision?

Sustainability is at the core of my design philosophy, and choosing lab-grown Colombian emeralds was a meaningful decision for this collection. I wanted to show that luxury and responsibility can coexist beautifully. Lab-grown stones reduce the environmental impact and ensure a transparent, ethical supply chain — which aligns with my brand’s values. Aesthetically, these emeralds offer the same vivid green hue and clarity as mined stones, allowing me to maintain the collection’s high visual standard while staying true to my ethical commitment. It’s a statement that today’s fine jewelry can respect nature and still captivate with timeless beauty.
