Juno was the patron goddess of women among the Romans—the one invoked at crucial moments, and after whom the month of June is named. She was a figure of quiet dignity rather than ostentatious power.
The cuff resembles her: its filigree pattern is exquisitely delicate, yet its shape gives it a real presence on the wrist. The openwork design lets light shine through, creating a lace-like pattern of metal that follows the curve of the arm.

A largely openwork angel wing motif spreads across the neckline. Gilded with 24-karat fine gold, this necklace plays with light and the open spaces in the design to create a piece that is both spectacular and delicate.
The design is created using the “ brass stamping ” technique, then cut out and openworked by hand. This process achieves the visual delicacy of filigree without soldering a single wire: the ornament is formed in one piece and retains the full presence of the metal.
