Valeria Rossini
Designer biography:
Valeria Rossini was born in Verona in 1988. She started her approach to the jewelry world during her second year of Fashion Design study at Politecnico in Milan, where she got her master's degree in 2012. Later, she continued her formation at Scuola Orafa Ambrosiana (Goldsmith School) and the Istituto Gemmologico Italiano (Italian Gemological Institute). In addition to her job as a gemologist for a large firm of top-quality jewelry in Vicenza, Italy, in 2016 she started her own activity as a jewelry maker. Her pieces are characterized by shape linearity and ergonomics, derived from her previous studies on design, along with material plasticity and organicity. Her basic technique is lost wax in silver and bronze with the use of raw, cut and handcut stones, rocks, bones, shells, plexiglas and resins.
Collection concept: Morgana - involuntary memories
The Morgana Fairy Effect The is an optical illusion named after the famous enchantress from the Arthurian cycle. According to legend, Morgana was able to create magical illusions, similar to mirages that occur in nature. Blurred images that, floating on the horizon, can reveal fantastic and mysterious shapes capable of fascinating both gaze and imagination. Resembling a mirage, the materials that form this collection emerge from time with an aura of mystery: iridescent shells, stones that seem to contain suspended gardens, fossils, relics, fragments of faded civilizations. Artefacts endowed with the power to transport the beholder to distant worlds, like visions that question matter and time.
