A core element of my cuffs is a clasp born from a two-year journey of innovation and collaboration. The design challenge was unique: how to secure delicate, gemstone beadwork inspired by a traditional craft that was not designed to be removed, or have a clasp.

After exhausting the possibilities of commercial clasps and finding them all to be poor compromises, I began a conversation with the talented goldsmith Silvia Trabalza in her Umbrian studio.

We started with a simple question: what would the perfect solution look like?

What followed was an intensive two-year process of sketches, prototypes, and meticulous refinement. We went back to the drawing board more times than I care to remember, driven by a shared vision.

The result is a beautiful object of precision engineering and artistry—a clasp that not only fixes the cuff securely but serves as a precious embellishment in its own right. Meticulously crafted in sterling silver or plated brass, it’s the component that turns a dream into a unique work of wearable art.
