“Travelling is at the centre of my world. New faces, images and flavours indelibly enter my memory: I recall them in my creations with all the evocative power they deserve. A marriage between unexpected worlds, previously distant but which, brought together, become something unique and unrepeatable, in its design as well as in its soul."

- Francesca Villa

Since 2007, Francesca Villa has been turning jewellery into visual poetry. In her Piedmont studio, the Italian designer reimagines memory through found objects — Victorian buttons, tiny figurines — encased in 18k gold, diamonds and sapphires. Using the rare reverse intaglio technique, she transforms each jewel into a miniature work of art — precious, playful and profoundly personal.

Yellow gold

Gold has long been celebrated for its warmth, its glow and its remarkable versatility. Yellow gold, in particular, is the metal in its most traditional expression — the colour that traverses centuries and civilisations. Designers sculpt it, texture it, hammer it or set it with diamonds and coloured stones, revealing a material that is both noble and endlessly adaptable. China, Australia and Russia remain today the world’s leading gold producers. Yet the limited ethical regulations governing extraction have long cast a shadow over its use in jewellery. This is why the Fairmined label was created in 2004: to guarantee the traceability of gold and ensure its positive impact on social development and environmental protection. Thanks to this certification, gold can now be considered “clean”, as opposed to conflict gold or gold extracted using harmful processes. Used since prehistory, gold was one of the first coloured metals mastered by ancient metallurgists. In Egypt, it was collected in small quantities along the Nile and elevated through religious ornamentation. Later, European conquistadors seized its value, while the American Gold Rush shaped an entire region of the West. Today, gold still plays a central economic role and is traded on major international exchanges. In its pure form, however, it remains too soft to be used alone in jewellery. It must be alloyed with other metals, measured in karats. The French market recognises 9k, 14k and especially 18k gold — the latter composed of 75% pure gold, ideal for its durability, stability and non-allergenic properties. 22k gold, intensely yellow and emblematic in India, is also used by certain designers.

Diamond

A diamond has long been seen as pure light made solid — a material shaped deep within the earth, revealed through cut, proportion and care. To a jeweller, every facet is a choice, every reflection a quiet exchange between the stone and the hand that guides it. Traditionally celebrated in its colourless form, the diamond today speaks in a much broader, more expressive language. The 4Cs — Colour, Clarity, Cut and Carat — remain essential markers of quality: colour graded from D to Z, clarity from FL to VS, the precision of the cut, the weight measured in carats. Yet these criteria no longer define beauty in absolute terms. Designers and collectors increasingly embrace shades beyond classic white: warm browns, subtle yellows, soft greys, frosted tones, and stones with delicate inclusions. Features once labeled as imperfections now offer character, depth and a sense of authenticity. These singularities trace the story of each diamond — its growth, its internal tensions, the minerals encountered along the way. They remind us that a diamond is not only a symbol but a living material shaped by time. Whether perfectly clear or crossed by a gentle haze, the diamond continues to embody precision, endurance and emotion. A light that no longer strives for flawless uniformity, but embraces the truth and beauty of its own individuality.

Ruby

Ruby takes its name from the Latin rubeus, meaning “red.” A member of the corundum family, it owes its vivid to deep crimson hues to traces of chromium within the crystal. Exceptionally rare, ruby is among the most coveted gemstones, with the majority of the world’s finest stones still originating from Burma. Introduced around 500 BC by the Etruscans and Greeks, ruby has long been associated with strength, leadership and protection. Across cultures, it is believed to calm anxiety and reinforce courage. Its fiery colour gives ruby its unmistakable character. The value of a ruby depends on the saturation of its hue, its clarity and the nature of its inclusions — subtle internal features that serve as the stone’s natural signature. The most esteemed colour grade, known as “pigeon’s blood,” remains extraordinarily rare. In contemporary jewellery, its intensity captivates designers such as Karen Liberman, Cathy Waterman and Yasuko Azuma, who highlight its rich glow and magnetic presence. A gemstone whose visual power endures through time.

Sapphire

Sapphire takes its name from the ancient Greek sappheiros, meaning “blue stone,” though some trace it to the Hebrew saphar, “to engrave.” Known for its exceptional resistance to scratching — second only to diamond — sapphire is used not only in fine jewellery but also in watch crystals, camera lenses and certain smartphone components. Found in the United States, Canada and various tropical regions, sapphire belongs to the corundum family. While it is most often associated with blue, its spectrum is remarkably wide: greens, purples, pinks, oranges, yellows, and the celebrated star sapphires, displaying an asterism created by multidirectional light refraction. Across traditions, sapphire symbolises truth, loyalty and strength. Its saturated colour and steady brilliance give it a quiet authority, often linked to clarity and sincerity. In contemporary jewellery, designers such as Polly Wales and Ruth Tomlinson value sapphire for its versatility and expressive palette, using it to create pieces that feel both textured and luminous.
