Francesca Villa

Francesca Villa is an Italian jeweler known for distinctive, colorful fine jewelry. Her designs often begin with unique antique gemstones and place them in modern settings.

Her pieces use antique gemstones, but the settings are modern and organic rather than simply vintage reproductions. The appeal comes from the meeting of an old stone with a new design.

Color comes from the distinctive antique gemstones she sources and from the organic modern designs around them. Each stone can give the finished piece a different visual character.

She sources unique antique gemstones instead of treating every stone as an interchangeable component. The Italian jeweler then places them in contemporary, organic fine-jewelry designs.
