How it's made

Behind every piecethere is a path.

  1. 01Research

    The careful exploration of organic matter and how it changes. I walk, I look, I gather. Every flower has to be picked in its own moment, not when it suits me.

  2. 02Vision

    Turning imperfect nature into a design idea that tells a story and represents whoever wears it.

  3. 03Design

    The study of shape, volume and transparency to balance light, structure and emotion. Every piece is born in pencil first: measurements, depth, how the light will have to pass through the petals.

  4. 04Making

    The handwork that keeps nature safe in time. Resin poured by hand, layer after layer, and weeks of waiting before the final polish.

Questions

The questionsI'm asked most often.

Are the flowers real?

Yes. They are real flowers from the Dolomites, picked by hand one at a time, dried and kept in resin. Never prints, never fake flowers. That's why every piece has small asymmetries and different shades: it's the proof they are real, not a flaw.

Which flowers do you use?

It depends on the season: heather, arnica, cornflower, mallow, pine sprigs, rosebuds. I pick them in the months when it's right to pick them. If there's a flower you care about, from a bouquet, a garden or a special day, I can use yours.

Is every piece one of a kind?

Yes. The flowers inside were picked once, on a single day, so no piece is ever repeated. I can't make the same jewel twice: if you like one, it's better not to wait.

How much does a Dolomea piece cost?

The ready-made necklaces, rings and earrings in my Etsy shop cost from 25 to 35 euros. For a made-to-order piece, or with La Lettera Mai Scritta, the price depends on what you choose: write to me and I'll tell you beforehand.

How long does it take?

Ready pieces are in my Etsy shop, with the shipping times written in each listing. A made-to-order piece takes 2–3 weeks, because the resin has to rest and it can't be rushed.

Do you ship across Italy and abroad?

Yes, I ship all over Italy and Europe. Every piece arrives in its gift box. If you're in the province of Belluno, we can also meet in person.

How do I look after a resin piece?

Resin doesn't like perfume, hairspray, chlorine or hours of direct sun. Take it off before showering or swimming, and put it on after perfume and lotion. That way the colours of the flowers stay vivid for a long time.

Can I give it with a message?

Yes, with La Lettera Mai Scritta: you tell me the story, I write the letter by hand on natural paper and seal it with wax. It arrives in the gift box, together with the jewel. With The Promise, instead, you write the words yourself and they stay behind a QR code engraved on the back.

Let's talk

Tell me which dayyou want to keep.

You'll find the ready pieces in my Etsy shop. For a made-to-order piece, or if you'd like to ask me something first, write to me: I'll tell you what I have and what it costs. I answer myself.

I'm in the province of Belluno, at the foot of the Dolomites. I ship across Italy and Europe. If you're nearby, we can also meet in person.
