FRANCO'S CREATIVE PROCESS
Franco loves authenticity and the highest quality natural materials. The distinctive features of his creative process are respect for nature and sensitivity towards the personality of the women for whom he is creating. He is an artist rather than a designer, interpreting jewelry not as decorative accessories, but as body sculptures that convey a message about women.
His creative process begins with the women who wish to wear his jewelry. He studies their personality, culture, and lifestyle. Then he sketches his works on paper for further computer processing to check proportions and feasibility. After that, he personally sits alongside local artisans to perfect the physical samples.
What you ultimately get from Franco are pieces of his heart in the form of jewelry. As one of the few independent creative artists who still express Italian craftsmanship, Franco is committed to offering you the best choice of his talent. He invests personally in you.
