Chiara De Filippis
The house
Goldsmith designer in Florence. Exclusive jewelry in precious metals and gemstones, where hand forging and Keum-boo meet: original collections in limited series and one-of-a-kind bespoke commissions.
The house was founded in 2015, after an apprenticeship in the workshop of a Florentine master goldsmith: years at the bench, learning a trade that is still passed on by hand, from one generation to the next. 925 Sterling Silver and 18k Gold are forged and shaped by hand, and Keum-boo, the ancient Korean art of fusing 24k Gold onto silver, mastered independently, has become one of the house's signatures. The work grows in the spirit of Florentine craftsmanship, where the exchange between workshops has always been part of the art. The original collections are made in limited, exclusive series, the defining mark of the house. Bespoke commissions start from a conversation and a sketch, and become pieces made for one person only. The work is included in the Homo Faber Guide by the Michelangelo Foundation and in the Italian Wellmade portal, and has received the OMA recognition for excellence in craftsmanship from Fondazione CR Firenze.
Known for
The Möbius Collection is the signature of the house: a single band of metal, hand-forged and folded back on itself into an endless surface. Keum-boo, the ancient Korean art of fusing gold onto silver, is the technique most tied to the house: 24k Gold rolled by hand in the atelier, bonded by flame and pressure alone. The cool tone of silver and the warm light of gold run through the collections, from Keum-boo surfaces to pieces set with emeralds, sapphires and rubies.
