Who's behind it
My name is Lucia.
I grew up with these mountains outside my window. For years I thought that was normal. Then I started leaving, and I found out I didn't miss the view: I missed the six o'clock light on a meadow, the smell of sun-warm pines, the silence before anyone else arrives.
I tried to take it with me in photographs. But a photograph stays inside a phone, and you can't touch a phone. I wanted something to hold.
The first flower I tried to keep in resin came out crooked. The second faded. It took two years before one came out good enough to give to my mother. Dolomea started there, in my kitchen, in front of a piece that had gone wrong.
When someone writes to me after a holiday up here, I already know what they want: a way to not let that day go.
I pick the flowers myself, one at a time, in the months when it's right to pick them. I dry them, draw them, compose them. It takes time, and that's fine: what I'm holding still took a whole summer to grow.

Let's be clear
What to expect,honestly.
I'd rather tell you first. Botanical jewellery isn't goldsmithing: it has other qualities, and a few limits worth knowing.
What you'll get
- A piece that exists in no other copy: those flowers, that day, that light.
- Real flowers picked by hand in the Dolomites. Never prints, never fake flowers.
- High-clarity resin, poured and polished by hand until every veil is gone.
- Gold-tone stainless steel chain: it doesn't tarnish and doesn't mark the skin.
- Light enough for every day: even a 3 cm pendant weighs only a few grams.
- Gift packaging, and the option of a handwritten letter, both included.
What's fair to know
- I can't make the same piece twice. If you like it and leave it, you probably won't find it again.
- Natural flowers have small asymmetries and shifting shades: that's the proof they're real, not a flaw.
- A made-to-order piece takes 2–3 weeks, because resin has to rest. It can't be rushed.
- Resin doesn't like perfume, hairspray, chlorine or hours of direct sun: take it off before the shower and the pool.
- It isn't solid gold and it isn't an investment. It's a sentimental object, and that's where its value is.
- The colours in the photos are honest, but real light changes them: in person they're almost always better.
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.
