Design Development
This section offers a glimpse into my design process, showcasing projects that trace the journey from initial inspiration and research to sketches, renderings, prototypes, and the final piece.
Each step highlights the balance between creativity, technical precision, and craftsmanship required to bring a concept to life.
For a more in-depth look at additional projects, a portfolio extract is available upon request via the contact page.
Hercules Line - GUCCI Resort 2020
For the Resort 2020 show at the Capitoline Museums in Rome, the Hercules-inspired jewelry line drew directly from classical iconography and antique references.
The design process moved from archival imagery and vintage pieces to hand sketches, detailed renderings, and prototypes, refined through enamel and engraving adjustments until achieving a bold final cuff bracelet, worn on the runway.
The boards presented here illustrate step by step how I developed the two cuff bracelets: from research and initial inspiration, to sketches and renderings, through the prototyping phase and the technical modifications that led to the final designs.
Silver Line - GUCCI
This line was inspired by the enameled silver clutches from Gucci Pre-Fall 2019, reimagined into a more commercial jewelry collection.
I began the process with sketches exploring how the animal heads could evolve into necklaces, rings, earrings, and keychains, while also creating scaled-down prototypes of the heads.
I then worked on the selection of chains from catalogues, defining proportions and combinations, and provided guidelines to the product office for enameling techniques and prototype development.
The design boards shown here document each step of this process, from concept to the final bracelet.
