€59,00

This Crisαlide jewel is a unique and unrepeatable piece

The organic shape of this ring evokes the desert dunes, slowly sculpted by the wind: soft waves of material that catch the light and transform the ring into a small landscape to wear.

The organic shape of this ring evokes the desert dunes, slowly sculpted by the wind: soft waves of matter that capture the light and transform the ring into a tiny landscape to wear. The contrast between the purity of white porcelain and the brilliance of gold gives the jewel a balance between essentiality and preciousness, evoking the calm, silence, and strength of natural forms.

Each ring is meticulously handmade by Roberta, making every piece unique and one-of-a-kind. Conceived, designed, and individually shaped from raw porcelain, then painted and glazed or left matte depending on the desired effect. The porcelain is finally fired up to four times through a long and delicate process that gives each creation strength and uniqueness.

Slight variations in shape, color, and texture bear witness to the authentic value of handcrafted work.

To preserve the beauty of your jewelry over time:

keep the ring away from moisture;
remove the jewelry before sleeping;
exercising, washing, or swimming;
avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and sanitizers;
store in a dry place.

How a Crisalide jewel is born

Every Crisalide piece follows the same path: a long process, made of precise gestures, necessary waiting times and firings that transform the material irreversibly.

Unglazed porcelain and modeling

Slow drying

First firing - the biscuit

Glazing and application of finishes

Second Firing - Vitrification

Finishing firings and the final jewel

First step

Unglazed porcelain and modeling

Porcelain is a living material: it reacts to hands, to time, to the stages of the process. Even before becoming a jewel, it is clay to be worked. Each element is created by hand, defining its structure, proportions, and shape through precise and repeated movements.

Second step

Slow drying

After modelling, the piece must dry slowly at a controlled room temperature. This phase cannot be rushed: porcelain needs its time to eliminate all residual moisture and avoid internal tensions that would cause breakages during firing.

Third step

First firing - the biscuit

The first firing takes place at around 900°C. At this temperature, the piece stabilizes: it becomes solid yet still porous, ready to receive glazes and finishes. A light hand-sanding follows before proceeding. This is the moment when porcelain stops being clay and becomes something definitive.

Fourth step

Glazing and application of finishes

It is during this stage that each piece acquires its chromatic identity. Enamels, oxides, lustres: each element is applied by hand with a brush, in successive layers.

Fifth step

Second Firing - Vitrification

The main firing takes place between 1270 and 1280°C. At that temperature, the porcelain vitrifies, reaching its characteristic compactness, strength, and translucence. It changes color, weight, and structure.

Last step

Finishing firings and the final jewel

When the piece requires it, a third and sometimes a fourth firing follow to fix decorations, lustres, or other low-temperature details. Each pass in the kiln brings with it variables impossible to control completely. And it is in this space that the authentic beauty of every Crisalide jewel is born.

Choosing a Crisalide jewel means choosing something that doesn't exist anywhere else

Each element is individually sculpted: there is no common mold, no identical repeated setting. Each enamel is applied by hand, every detail in luster is refined gesture by gesture. Each firing brings with it variables that cannot be completely controlled.

The result is that no two Crisalide jewels are identical. Not in the exact shape, not in the precise color, not in the surface texture. What might seem like a limitation is instead the most authentic value of each piece: it carries with it the time, concentration, and presence of a person who has chosen to do things with intention.
