Adriano Firinu distinguishes himself for the sophisticated craftsmanship arising out of a rare training in the goldsmith handicraft of excellence. He moved his first professional steps at a very young age starting to work as an apprentice in a renowned workshop set up by a couple of German goldsmiths in Narbolia, his childhood village. This training, thanks to which he qualified as a goldsmith, determined Adriano’s evident artistic approach and a desire to specialise in the crafting of all the parts of silver jewels, in addition to the cutting and setting of stones. He furthered his professional skills at the branch of a factory of Valenza in Oristano, which produces prestigious artefacts for the main international jewellery brands; there he specialised in high-precision goldsmith techniques and in embedding using a microscope. He then continued his training and work in Antwerp and Valenza, following which in 2012 he finally set up a well-equipped workshop in Oristano, also thanks to regional funding. His activity as a highly specialised gem-setter characterises most of his customised creations, which is accompanied by a distinctive production with an original trait in which the silver is crafted in plastic forms and insightful design using various techniques. A dynamic personality, he fosters the exchange of skills: he collaborates with goldsmiths and jewellers, contributing his recognised mastery as a gem embedder and also for high-precision work.
