Gianluca Anzani sterling silver jewelry

"Hi, my name is Gianluca and, though by birth I'm Swiss-Italian, I am Mexican at heart. Destiny brought me to Mexico in 1977 on a holiday, but I fell in love with the country and its people so I decided to stay. I live in the state of Michoacán and have two beautiful daughters.

"Having traveled extensively throughout Mexico, I've had the good fortune to meet talented artisans who have kindly taught me the secrets of their crafts. I now focus on silver jewelry – you could say it's become my passion!

"I work with the lost-wax technique, whereby molten silver is poured into molds allowing the wax to flow out. When the products are shaped, I finish them off by hand. My work mirrors the experiences I have gained throughout my life. It is enriched by a blend of my European roots and those of this beautiful Mexican land."

These earrings are very elegant and graceful. When I take walks through the woods by the creek occasionally I will see a heron. It is one of nature’s most glorious creatures. The earrings evoke the feeling of the bird in a gentle, harmonious way.

I wore these earrings almost every day for many years. They are light and comfortable enough that I could leave them in at night. They are beautifully made. Then I lost one! I was so sad, until I saw that these were back in stock. So happy I could find them again. I look forward to wearing this new pair for a long time, and if I lose one I have a spare.

'Castillo de Miravalle', dangle earrings have an artistic, unique design. The shape and uncluttered, silver lines of the earring give a look that stands out -- eye catching. Has a matte finish, but does catch some light. When worn looks gorgeous and enhances the appearance of the wearer. Can match with Gianluca Anzani's pendant necklace, 'Art Nouveau'. Pleased with purchase.

'Petite Garland' chain necklace was bought to be worn with Gianluca Arizani earrings because the silver finish would match-up. Small, but subtly eye-catching and enhances look of 'Diaphanous' (Malachite) earrings and many more. Necklace not a complete matte finish, but not high shine, has enough shine to catch light. Not flimsy, solid. happy with purchase.

I wanted a necklace that was different and easy to wear, with or with out a pendant. This style can be used for both and I'm very pleased with it. It is a gift and I'm hopeful that my sister will love it as much as I do. This necklace is so subtle, you have to really look at it to see the design. The weight is also good. Its not too heavy, and will be easy to wear.

The spiraling on my pair is flattened rather than raised (a very different effect from the photo). The hoop portion has a beautifully detailed twisted rope design that doesn't show up very well in the photo. I wasn't sure how I'd like not having an actual hoop, but the hoop portion forms a half-circle and looks very complete and intentional. The posts are long enough to feel secure and the earring backs grip the posts snugly. The design is bold, and so elegant and well proportioned. I'm very happy to have purchased these.
