It was the case that made me get to know Eva, or rather the case in the guise of a colleague who told me about an artisan jeweler who was just starting out. I also wanted to take a step forward in the path of my love story, so, as tradition dictates – but also the eyes of the girlfriends in front of jewelry stores leave no doubt – I thought of formalizing it with an engagement ring, but that it was personal, original… in short, a handmade ring.
After a little chat with Eva and after looking through several photos with her, my confused ideas cleared up quickly. I didn't think it could be so simple; we followed the intuitions that emerged spontaneously thinking of two people who want to become one – like the ring and the stone –, then Eva created the first sketches. The strangest thing was seeing the precious stone, so much beauty, rigor and precision in something so small.
Handmade ring created by Eva for Marco and Glenda.
When I had the ring in my hands I was speechless, It left me confused to know that I had participated in creation of a small work of romantic jewelry art, I have nothing to do with these things…
Handmade gold rings with initials, created by Eva.
Glenda told me that She didn’t believe she wanted an engagement ring until she got it.. She is a sporty girl, always in tennis shoes and she had never worn rings before. But she really liked it and after less than nine months she put on another one, also created by Eva, this time on her left ring finger. Even before deciding on the date of the wedding, we had decided that Eva would be the one to create it. Our handmade faith items using the gold of chains and bracelets that, like everyone else, we had in our drawer. We wanted to bring with us the thoughts of our loved ones.
Eva also created the necklace that Glenda She wore it on her wedding day, a precious touch on a rather simple dress.
