Modern-day alchemy

  • • Andrea is a master of metals
  • • He specialises in the mokume gane technique
  • • His unique creations are inspired by Venice

Born and raised in Venice, as he proudly says, Andrea D’Agostino graduated as Master of metals and Goldsmith at the Carmini Art Institute in 1981. In 1988 he founded Bottega Orafa ABC, where he creates handmade customised jewellery. Over the years, his specialised knowledge of metals and his deep passion for goldsmithing have taken him to refine very peculiar and complex methods, such as Etruscan granulation and mokume gane. These techniques he also teaches. Thanks to his expertise on metals, he has worked with CNR (National Council of Research) and has collaborated with his brother, a chemist. Inspired by the artistic richness and the atmosphere of Venice, Andrea crafts unique pieces using stones, many different metals, among which titanium, and other materials.

Trecce rings

The fascinating mokume gane technique used to make this pair of wedding bands, consists in the union of two or more metals, without losing the characteristics of each. This gives any piece a refined interweaving, with unique shades. In these wedding rings there are four different metals and therefore four different colours.

Infinity Space pendant

In this pendant, Andrea D’Agostino has released his creativity without restrictions, in harmony with the alchemy of metals he has used. The infinity of the outer space is represented by the use of blue anodised titanium, with micro dots reminiscent of luminous stars and planets.
