Study of a Pearl is a living framework for creation — a dynamic series of micro-collections, each exploring the pearl as a subject of observation, a plastic symbol, and a vessel of meaning.

Just as the pearl has been worn throughout history carrying rich layers of meaning and significance across cultures and occasions, each micro-collection offers a unique narrative and aesthetic, designed to resonate differently depending on context or inspiration.

This flexibility allows the pearl to be continuously reinterpreted and recontextualized.

Each piece is entirely unique — not merely handcrafted, but composed like a visual essay.

Echoing the Renaissance spirit of inquiry, where understanding grew through sustained observation and subtle modulation, these works examine the pearl’s shifting geometry, its quiet luminosity, and its capacity to carry meaning across time and cultures.

To honor the individuality of each piece, every creation is accompanied by its own photograph — a modern-day ritratto, evoking the intimacy of a painted portrait. These instant images serve not only as documentation but as symbolic relics: small traces of the moment each pearl was perceived and given form. The photograph becomes the memory of the object’s becoming — a lasting imprint of its singular presence.
