ADL STORY
Angelo De Luca is a Swiss based jewellery designer, born in Italy in 1990. Since when he was a child he was attracted by the lights, the colours of the gemstones and the sparkle of the jewels. Curious in his nature, he lived in many cities like Paris, Copenhagen, Athens, Dubai, Rome and Mumbai, where he had the opportunity to discover the culture and the tradition of jewellery world. "I express my emotion trough the jewels, there is always a hidden secret in every of my piece, for an intimate connection. I like beautiful gemstones where this doesn't mean only quality, but empathy. A Ruby communicated with me when we connect with each other, and in my career I learned that it is the jewels that choose the person". ADL
THE PROCESS
Creating a jewellery piece of ADL is a journey. Finding a gemstone means deciding to set it, creating a unique piece of jewellery. An idea is painted as a first step of the creation process. Each of the High Jewellery pieces has his unique book, that describes his own history, the mood board, the creation process and the philosophy.
SPECIAL ORDER
"When I do a special order, I always ask for three words that describes who will wear this piece and three words for what this jewel needs to communicate. Afterwards I transform that information in lines, colours and volumes, to create a unique design" ADL
Jewellery box
Each jewels belongs to a unique case that has the same colour of the ADL creation. They are handmade in Rome, in wood covered with precious fabrics, in silk and velvet, becoming a treasure box.
CREATION
To create a piece of ADL we spend many hours to confront with the goldsmiths and the setter, becoming the most creative part of a jewels. A teamwork based on passion for the gemstones, knowledge in the craftsmanship and love for every unique project.
