U cuteddu

I was thinking of my father when I made this cuteddu (Sicilian for knife), of the complex interweavings that bind us. To him who taught me the art of grafting, that a blade is not always the bearer of offense, but rather an instrument to multiply life. 925/000  silver burnished satin. The manual realization creates irregular effects and small differences that make the jewel unique and repeatable. My jewels are handmade and speak of land and roots, of sky and sea. They narrate my Sicily, its colors, its history, its strong contradictions. I was inspired by the prickly pear and its plots that bind us, harness us and that, magically, make us freer to dream. 925/000 silver polished burnished polished. Handmade with imperfections and irregularities, which is unique.
