A gemstone is a fragment of your soul taking shape.
My dream is to welcome your story and, in a deep connection with you, tell its uniqueness in the gold, silver and precious stones of your jewel.
I thus become a co-creator, the artisan who with her hands gives shape to the soul, to the memory, to the essence of the other.
By imprinting the uniqueness of the person inside it, today I make the jewel a means to talk about her even in the future: this is how sustainable jewels are born, destined to last over time, which have the power to tell you without saying a word.
who am i
My name is Alessia and I am a goldsmith artisan
My story, however, begins much earlier, in the world of watches.
I was only 14 years old when I started working in a jewelry store in the heart of Lugano, immersed in the precise rhythm of the ticking of the hands.
That sound, marking every moment, slowly brought me closer to a profound discovery: the enchantment of precious stones and the magic of jewels.
In that formative stage, the reflections of light and the vibrant colors of stones and metals captivated me like nothing had ever done before.
Maybe it was the freedom to create, or maybe the space for imagination and expression, mine and others, that jewels allow, I can't say.
But something deep inside me ignited, pushing me to change course and follow a passion that had by now become a part of me.
"Creativity is the greatest form of freedom."
the studies
For this reason I began my studies at the Scuola Orafa Ambrosiana in Milan, and as soon as I finished, I returned to Ticino and decided to open my own workshop.
This is how, in November 2022, Atelier Mirabilia was born, the place where people's stories are collected and take shape, from gold, precious stones and above all from the uniqueness of the people themselves.
The name of the Atelier comes from the union of Naturalia , which for me is represented by what is born from the earth, from stones and precious metals, and Artificialia , that is, the hand of man that through tools and techniques reshapes the natural world.
These two forces fused together create the effect of the final jewel: amazement, the Mirabilia.
The key word? Uniqueness.
Through the union of the ancient goldsmith arts, and the connections that I have created over the years, together with those who gave shape and life to the first works, I have found what for me is the meaning of a jewel, what is its value: uniqueness.
How can a jewel really represent something if it is the same as all the others?
How can it have value when it is printed alongside thousands of other identical pieces?
How can they be immortal and contain within them the history of those who wear them?
I create handcrafted, unique jewelry, tailor-made for my customers.
I enter into a deep connection with them, I listen to them and I welcome what they would like their jewel to represent.
I create a Mirabilia that they can wear on their skin and carry with them forever.
My jewels
I'm not a status symbol,
they are never the same,
they are not empty.
But they tell stories, emotions, people.
Your Mirabilia jewel will always contain and tell a meaning.
What is my mission?
My mission is to give shape to your uniqueness , creating a jewel that does not
you will never see it worn by anyone else, because it is generated by your emotions before being worked by my hands.
