MILANESE JEWELLERY DESIGNERS

Milano. Osanna Visconti di Modrone grew up in Rome. Her elegant mother used to wear beautiful jewellery designed by artists like Pomodoro and Fontana. “I have fun making jewellery and I make pieces that are flattering, because usually jewels designed by artist are not.” She explains. After, a gemology course and an internship at Christie’s in New York, she married modern and contemporary art dealer, Gian Galeazzo Visconti di Modrone and lives in Milan in a beautifully decorated apartment above a charming courtyard in the old city. The attractive and stylish Contessa, designs for an eclectic woman interested in art, with style and an aesthetic sense. She has a predilection for 24K gold, because of its solar color and because of its softness which she cuts herself. See the three hoped earrings she is wearing in the photograph. You can find her jewellery at the Emporio Le Sirenuse in Positano on the Amalfi Coast or through her at osannavisconti@gmail.com.

Note: the necklace/belt in bronze made from a procedure using lost wax and quartz.
