Cristina is an Italian Architect who Graduated in Architecture (summa cum laude) in Florence, and now lives and works in London. She started her career working for award winning architecture practices like Iosa Ghini Associati in Milan and Foster + Partners in London. From her grandmother, who collected unique jewels and gems from around the world, she inherited an unconditional love for jewels. To gain a deeper understanding of jewellery, and the techniques involved in their creation, Cristina attended courses at Central Saint Martins and a gemmology course at the Gemmological Association of Great Britain.
Cristina Cipolli's creations, made of gold or sterling silver with precious stones, blend the magic of architecture with the world of jewellery, all the while incorporating inspirations from nature, art, tribal traditions and the adornments of ancient civilisations, made refined and sophisticated. Her jewels, responsibly made by skilled artisans, are bold and sensual, with organic or edgy simple shapes. Cristina’s use of colourful enamel recalls her Italian home country and India.
