For over thirty years, jeweler Monica Rossi, has been crafting Anaconda from her Milanese studio. Her process is spontaneous and unbridled, while remaining in harmony with an overarching story. A reverence for history and painstaking attention to detail is evident throughout her work.
Monica uses metal and gemstones as a medium through which to tell the story of a beloved person or thing. Her pieces marry intricate techniques, such as the filigree-like openwork metal method of ajouré, with minimalistic shapes. In doing so, she honors the beauty of the natural materials, forming a living dialogue between the human, the elemental and the eternal.
Monica’s creations flow effortlessly from a primitive aesthetic to swirling filigrees evocative of Italian Baroque style. Refined deliberation and a reverence for time-honored craftsmanship set Anaconda’s featherweight champagne gold and vintage hand-cut diamonds apart. These are works made to gather warmth and story, becoming not adornment but presence.
“Without minute neatness of execution, the sublime cannot exist! Grandeur of ideas is founded on precision of ideas.”
—William Blake
