The collection

The production of Flore Sardigna counts special jewellery lines in silver characterised by a successful creative design inspired by the culture and identity of the island. The Ninnolos collection and the prized Prendas collection consisting of pendants, earrings and rings draw on the distinctive filigree and punch-engraved production of the Sardinian goldsmith tradition, rich in symbols and apotropaic and well-wishing elements. The Archeologica collection consists of silver pendants with the forms and symbols of the archaic Pre-Nuragic, Nuragic and Phoenician-Punic civilisations. The Mare d'argento (Silver Sea) collection is a skilful interpretation of extraordinary creative elements of the nature and sea of the island. The Mascheras (masks) collection reproduces with fine miniatures the renowned and charming carnival masks of the Barbagia region.

The technique

This goldsmith workshop produces jewellery lines mainly using artisanal lost-wax casting techniques, based on unique creative designs. Also filigree techniques and classic goldsmith techniques are performed.
