ABOUT US
ART AND PASSION
Chio was born in Rome from a project by Francesca Battisti, art historian, restorer and designer.
His great passion for jewelry, made using the ancient lost wax casting technique, combined with modeling and 3D graphics, lead her to give life to a jewelry brand of her own, 100% handmade in Italy, capable of combining craftsmanship and design.
THE USE OF AN ANCIENT TECHNIQUE ...
Francesca Battisti usa l’antica tecnica della fusione a cera persa che le permette di plasmare il modello iniziale in cera e di creare gioielli, in silver and bronze, come piccole sculture. Thanks to the use of this technique, imperfection takes on the meaning of uniqueness, the diversity of exclusivity and the true luxury of creating and wearing unique pieces.
UNIQUE AND ARTISAN JEWELS ...
“My idea was to create a jewelry line, not necessarily linked to the preciousness of the materials, that went beyond the classic stereotype of an expensive object.
For me it was important to create unique and handcrafted pieces, accessible to all while maintaining a rigorous quality standard of the metals and materials used. I imagine a free femininity, a beautiful woman because she is imperfect and not approved, contrary to ostentation, which releases its personality and makes it even richer through the jewel and its intrinsic message.”
