VerdeRame Jewels

 

Italy

VerdeRame Jewels was born out of Sara Paganoni’s passion for handicrafts and creativity combined with her need to escape her office job.

With a background in building engineering and conservation of heritage structures, Sara developed her style drawing inspiration from traditional jewellery, mosaics and decorative patterns, as well as geometrical lines.

She initially pursued her passion through several courses with established, independent artists in various countries – India, Germany, UK and Lebanon – and finally decided to take the leap and radically change her career.

In 2022, she attended a professional course in Rome, where she refined her skills, and eventually became a full-time goldsmith under the name VerdeRame. The name, green copper in Italian, reflects Sara’s love of this material, which often features in her pieces and can create beautiful green hues through oxidation.

Sara’s work brings together a variety of inspirations and techniques, spanning from the organic shapes of nature to clear-cut geometry, mixing and matching traditional techniques such as granulation and mokume-gane with a variety of materials including sea glasses and non-precious metals. At the core of her working philosophy is the creation of unique, whimsical pieces that can resonate with the wearer.

Her first collection for EA portrays her love for the Mediterranean Sea, the shiny fragments of glass it lays on the beach and the marvellous creatures that populate it.
