Aurora is an Italian molecular biologist-turned-jeweller. Largely self-taught, she was awarded full membership of the Society of Designer Craftsmen in 2014.
Working from her Cambridgeshire studio Aurora combines traditional silversmithing, glass fusing and ceramic bead making techniques with a contemporary aesthetic to create a range of one-off pieces and limited edition jewellery collections. Inspired by the wonderful interplay between colours, patterns and textures found in nature, Aurora often incorporates metallic lustres, etched patterns and colorful textile elements to add contrast and interest to her designs. Recently Aurora's work has been expanding to include a range of ceramic hanging decorations and small wall art pieces.
