“The main difference between architecture and jewellery is that you don’t have to play with space, but with the human body. I see jewels as sculptures for the body.”
Cristina Cipolli
Cristina is an Italian Architect who graduated in Architecture (summa cum laude) in Florence, and now lives and works in London. She started her career working for award winning architecture practices like Iosa Ghini Associati in Milan and Foster + Partners in London. From her grandmother, who collected unique jewels and gems from around the world, Cristina inherited an unconditional love for jewels. This love blossomed as she found herself drawing architecture-inspired jewellery designs. To gain a deeper understanding of jewellery, and the techniques involved in their creation, Cristina attended courses at Central Saint Martins and the Gemmological Association of Great Britain. In 2018, Cristina finally launched her jewellery brand in London. By fusing technology and tradition, her intention is to blend the past and the future into a distinct version of the present. Her jewels are made with precious materials. Cristina shares, "You like them because they can mirror a story and enhance your individuality. I have always seen style as a reflection of attitude and personality. They are alluring and timeless pieces with an androgynous twist. They are wearable minimalistic small architectures."
