Jewellery Stories

This jewel is steeped in superstition, starting with our cherished customer’s name—Mina. Or should I say, Dracula’s first love: Elisabeta, who later becomes Mina in Bram Stoker’s classic tale. Our Mina, a true believer in signs and symbols, came to me with a request: could I transform her ring into an Evil Eye pendant? Naturally, I said yes. Using the original gold, diamond, and sapphire from her ring, I created the SUPERSTIZIONE pendant—crafted in yellow gold and set with diamond and sapphire, imbued with symbolism and sparkle. The Evil Eye is more than just a design—it’s a superstition deeply rooted in many cultures. It represents the belief that a malevolent glare, often driven by envy, can bring harm or misfortune. The symbol is worn as protection, a charm to ward off that negative energy.

Fire opal displays brilliant warm hues from golden yellow to deep reddish-orange. This extraordinary gemstone is Mexico’s national treasure, revered by the ancient Aztecs who called it “stone of the bird of paradise” and “hummingbird stone.” Throughout history, it has symbolised passion, love, and inner radiance across cultures from India to Central America. Using our customer’s cherished gemstones, we crafted the magnificent OPALE DI FUOCO pendant. This exceptional piece showcases fire opals as the centrepiece, accompanied by garnet, diamonds, and blue sapphire, all set in solid yellow gold. When we unveiled the completed pendant, our customers were moved to tears of joy, expressing that its striking beauty and unique elegance exceeded every expectation.

There’s something touching about witnessing an elderly couple exchange a look of pure, youthful love as if they were teenagers falling in love for the first time. This exact sentiment inspired the creation of the TENEREZZA blue Sapphire and Diamond pendant. Born from the heartfelt stories of cherished customers who could no longer wear their engagement rings, this piece transforms precious memories into wearable art. By repurposing the original ring’s gold, an oval-cut blue Sapphire takes centre stage, elegantly nestled in a half-moon setting that allows light to dance through the stone, revealing its rich colour and brilliance. Complemented by two carefully positioned diamonds, the pendant now showcases these meaningful gems in an entirely new, breathtaking design that honours the enduring nature of love.

A variety of diamonds from different cherished jewels have come together in harmony for Christmas, beautifully showcased in this modern Art Deco-inspired ring crafted from solid yellow gold. The UNITI PER NATALE ring is imbued with sentimental value, carrying the stories and memories of each individual jewel. Now, it graces the hand of our beloved customer, who wears it with pride and joy this Christmas and for many more festive seasons to come.

A true Pagan treasure, this striking symbol of witchcraft and wizardry was designed and crafted for our cherished customer. The MAGHI E STREGHE Pentagram ring brings together elements from the customer’s own rings—Yellow Gold, Rose Gold, Diamonds, Opals, and Sapphires—blending them seamlessly into a singular, breathtaking jewel. This masterpiece embodies a world of magic, sorcery, and mystery. The pentagram design and carefully chosen gems channel the mystic energy of the Astral Planes, making the WITCHES AND WIZARDS Pentagram ring a powerful talisman of enchantment.

Our client inherited a gold, sapphire, and diamond cluster ring she couldn't wear due to a gold allergy. Her clever solution: repurpose her platinum and diamond eternity ring. We replaced the cluster ring's gold shank with platinum from the eternity ring, rebuilding the lower setting in platinum to make it wearable. The remaining diamonds became a pair of contemporary earrings. This redesign solved the allergy issue while honouring the inherited piece. The result: a wearable cluster ring and matching diamond earrings, blending heritage with modern style.

A kind young man commissioned a unique engagement ring. Crafted in 18-carat yellow gold, the PRATI ring's design evokes a winding river embracing a brilliant diamond. The Proposal On a sunny day in a picturesque meadow, the young man knelt by a flowing river. As he presented the PRATI ring, his beloved was captivated by its beauty. Moved by the moment and the ring's exquisite design, she joyfully accepted his proposal. The PRATI ring is more than a symbol of love—it's a work of art telling their unique story. May it always remind them of this perfect moment when their paths joined. Congratulations to the happy couple. May your love flourish like the meadows that inspired your ring.

A Diamond's Journey: From Gift to Heirloom A loose Diamond gifted to a daughter in her tender years. Now a young adult, she's decided to transform this precious stone into a wearable piece of art. We've created the "IL REGALO" pendant to showcase her diamond. Crafted in solid platinum, the pendant features an elegant scroll motif. The original round brilliant cut diamond takes centre stage at the bottom of the scroll, complemented by two round cut rubies set in the pendant's centre. A delicate platinum chain completes this exquisite piece. This bespoke creation not only honours the original gift but also marks a new chapter in the young woman's life. The "IL REGALO" scroll pendant is more than just jewellery—it's a future family heirloom, ready to be cherished for generations to come.

Our lovely customer discovered that her husband had bought himself an expensive watch and told her she had the same budget for a piece of jewellery. She had always dreamed of a matching eternity ring to complement her wedding band and princess-cut engagement ring. Understanding her vision, I designed the L’OROLOGIO Princess Cut Eternity Ring, following the Z-shape of her wedding set to complete it with harmony, elegance, and beauty. The SPADINIORO team would like to thank our wonderful customer for collaborating with us to create the L’OROLOGIO Princess Cut Diamond Eternity Ring, a unique SPADINIORO masterpiece.

Three special sisters, grieving the recent loss of their mother, came to me seeking to create three pieces of jewellery using gold from their parents, so they could feel closer to their loved ones. We all lose loved ones, but they are never truly gone, as they remain in our hearts. Inspired by this sentiment, I designed and created the UNITI DAL CUORE set: two heart-shaped pendants, each adorned with a round brilliant-cut diamond, and a fine lady’s signet ring in the shape of a heart to match the pendants. The SPADINIORO team would like to take this opportunity to thank our lovely customers (and now friends) for collaborating with us to make the UNITI DAL CUORE set a unique SPADINIORO masterpiece.
