Co.Ro. Jewels brings architecture into its jewellery project from a studio-boutique on Via della Scrofa. Architects Costanza De Cecco and Giulia Giannini founded the project in 2012; its process runs from sketching and wax models to digital printing and hand-finishing.
A studio-boutique on Via della Scrofa
Architecture, translated into jewellery
The brand connects its jewellery with architecture, including Rome’s Pantheon and the former gasometer in Ostiense. The brand’s collections take these buildings as starting points for wearable design.1
From sketch to finished piece
A project founded in 2012
Architecture reduced to a wearable scale
Co.Ro. Jewels turns Roman architecture into jewellery rather than selling a miniature city souvenir. The Pantheon and gasometer appear in named Co.Ro. jewellery lines, while the Via della Scrofa shop is the practical point of contact. The useful comparison is between a documented architectural source and an exact resulting object: which line, void or repeated structure survives the change of scale? That is a visual reading, not proof that the jewellery reproduces a monument to scale or that every item is on display today.3
- Source: identify the actual building or structure.
- Object: identify the maker’s exact line and piece.
- Transformation: describe the carried line or void without inventing measurements.
