The artisan

Anna Guiso learnt traditional goldsmith's techniques in Valenza. Being fond of the traditional Sardinian goldsmith's art, she decided to broaden her knowledge and specialize in a Dorgali filigree making. Since 2008, he has worked in the family business started by her grandfather in Gavoi, her home town, an activity that has been carried out for generations with passion and expertise. Today, Anna skilfully wrks with elegance and creativity, crafting objects inspired by Sardinian goldsmith's tradition, paying particular attention to local traditional filigree jewels, also available with a more contemporary touch.

The technique

Classical goldsmith's techniques are executed with great skill. Filigree is crafted entirely by hand, complying with traditional formats and procedures, creating both faithful copies and of traditional jewels and more contemporary models.
