Layers of Nostalgia - Roots

The first piece of the Layers of Nostalgia collection comes from a quick view caught from the train, an unknown group of old houses on a hill. It was a rainy autumn early morning, and a huge, dark cloud was looming over the village and the fields. 

The old houses looked welcoming and reassuring in the bad weather, in front of some ploughed fields partly hidden by some green bushes. The thoughts wandered about the lives still lived there, probably after centuries of uninterrupted life and changes. This is part of the special charm of certain areas in Italy: the feeling of being heirs of something that went on for centuries, apparently in a corner of the history but constituting the solid roots of a warm, beautiful way of living.

Roots is made of silver, oxidized silver, and copper, using different techniques and several layers of the two metals. As it was the first piece of the collection it is dated  "October 2020".

It comes with its handmade chain and an oxidized s-shaped elegant clasp.

We use recycled silver as much as we can to reduce the environmental impact of our work and for ethical reasons. Recycled silver has the same characteristics and value of mined silver, but it is obtained from old jewelry or silverware. From our perspective, it adds value to the jewelry we create.

Important: you may polish the piece with a conventional silverware cloth, avoiding to rub the darker parts
