The work of master goldsmith Giovanni Corvaja is a fascinating mixture of the ancient and the cutting edge. His pieces are strikingly modern in form, clean geometries encasing staggering complexities, but the techniques employed to create these works are in fact the re-imagining of 3000 year old Etruscan methods (filigree and granulation) largely forgotten until very recently.

Exquisite. I need to bookmark your site, I’d forgotten what a joy it was.

Yeah, they are beautiful, so much so that I find the thought of anyone actually wearing them, though they are jewelry, impossible.

A Joy? Thank you for saying so Lori.
