My name is Chiara, and I am a self-taught silversmith with a deep passion for ancient and ethnically inspired jewelry. I handcraft my jewelry in my small studio in Friuli, Italy.
I use precious metals and high-quality techniques to create jewelry designed to last forever. However, I don't seek perfection. In my work, there may be small marks when viewed up close, and it's precisely these imperfect details that made me fall in love with craftsmanship. It is within those imperfections that the unique beauty of handmade items lies, telling the story of the maker.
I have always loved seeing, or even just imagining, the hand that brings every handcrafted piece to life. One of my most treasured childhood memories is tied to a mini mosaic course. I can still clearly recall the magical feeling of simply being in that studio: shelves filled with tools, vibrant colors, boxes holding mysteries, tools scattered everywhere. In that 'chaos,' my heart raced. It felt like everything I needed to bring my imagination to life was right there within reach.
After years spent exploring various mediums – from painting to resin, stone to clay – I found my path in metal. From my earliest works, I felt a deep satisfaction: I was finally able to create the jewelry I had always dreamed of wearing.
I hope my pieces make you fall in love as much as I do every time I see them come to life in my hands. Each piece tells a unique story, and I can't wait for it to become part of yours.
With love,
Chiara ⁘
