Cristina Ruggieri

I was born in Bari, in the shadow of the Romanesque cathedrals; I grew up in Rome, where I finished my studies. I started my work life in Milan, but it was in Siena that I realized that jewellery design is my vocation.

Jewellery-fantasy: made to smile; where poor materials bind to crystals of light; simple plastic lean trimmings fine; wire mesh in semiprecious stones. Creations that exploit contemporary art’s freedom to match colours and materials. Unique or "semi-unique" pieces, with the most unpredictable shapes, sometimes humorous and whimsical, united in a quest for beauty and elegance.
