ARExplain to me what you do like I'm five years old.
I lead a three-generation Florentine jewellery house founded by my grandmother in the 1950s. We create bespoke jewels that tell people's stories, sometimes upcycling clients' inherited pieces into something new while preserving the memories they carry. My job is to take a client's thoughts and transform them into a wearable object.
What are you working on right now?
Developing my family's bespoke jewellery house for a new generation, and reinterpreting my grandmother's extraordinary archive of over 600 original designs, bringing them into conversation with contemporary collectors who are once again embracing colour, enamel and playful design.
How did you get here?
I studied Art History and an MA in Art Business specialising in jewellery and gemstones, then spent years in cultural communications. I left my agency career to join my father full-time when he unexpectedly passed away, suddenly carrying forward both his legacy and my grandmother's.
What was the moment you nearly stopped, and what kept you going?
Nothing has ever made me want to stop. The uncertainty of leaving a stable career made me question the leap, but knowing I was preserving a creative legacy while giving it a future kept me going, alongside a lifelong fascination with gemstones.
What are you building towards that doesn't exist yet?
The next chapter of ALOISIA, through original designs that honour our heritage while speaking to today's collectors.
