Stefano Pedonesi - Italian Artistic Jewelry

About me

Artisan goldsmith since 1995 based in the Historic Centre of Lucca, Tuscany - Italy, in a specialized laboratory for the creation of artifacts in gold and silver of all types, plus repairs of jewellery and artifacts. Thanks to the exhibition in my town “Lucca Preziosa” I discovered the world of contemporary jewellery. In my sparetime I began to create objects from my immagination, using a variety of novel materials and trying various techniques like metals patination.
