Pronounced "jen-tee-late-za", which means "kindness" in Italian.
Kindness Matters is the motto of my business.
This intention is at the core of my designs, combined with a focus on the healing properties of natural gemstones. This approach allows the jewelry from Gentilezza Designs to be a holistic extension of my beliefs, resulting in an extraordinary line of jewelry.
The majority of my collections are crafted in Sterling or Fine Silver. When creating new designs, I often use Copper and if I'm pleased with the prototype, I occasionally will sell those items as well. I'm committed to working with natural gemstones but do use lab-created stones in some metal clay pieces due to the high firing temperature.
No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted. --Aesop
