Quinta Essenza

Award-winning jeweller Roberta Pederzoli from Quinta Essenza designs textured and tactile jewellery, recreating a sensation of fairy-tale elegance and enchantment by delicately brushing colours over her work. Her jewellery is inspired by organic shapes, she observes during her walks. Being born and raised in Italy, Roberta creates pieces where Scottish landscape inspiration and Italian style merge together.In March 2013, Roberta won a Commended Award in Fashion Jewellery (QVC Special Award) by The Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council, also known as the Oscar of the Jewellery Industry. Her philosophy can be summed up in the following words: "I do not want my jewellery to be perfect. There is no such thing as perfection. After years of struggling, chasing perfection, I finally understood that this is not possible and that I needed to let it go. I like my jewellery to spring into life, showing vulnerability and transformation. I love when it oxidises and colours fade and change, showing the mutation of time. The only thing we can be sure of is that nothing stays the same. We are surrounded by constant change, evolution and transmutation. Nevertheless I see real beauty in this. The beauty of imperfection, the beauty of authenticity..."
