The Ortani project stems from a collaboration with a jewelry store in Bologna specializing in the sale and craftsmanship of luxury vintage goldsmithing.

Natural materials such as gemstones, pearls, coral, and ivory are closely linked to the beauty and rarity of nature. Many vintage jewelry creations draw inspiration from natural elements, such as flowers, leaves, animals, and geometries that evoke nature.

The rarity of certain stones and designs in vintage jewelry can be likened to the rarity of certain natural elements. We have explored how the quest for unique and hard-to-find pieces in vintage jewelry mirrors the human desire to appreciate the rare and extraordinary beauty of nature that withstands the test of time.
