The pendant
Several layouts of the black stones, tried on the drawing. Then the right one.
Give your jewel a new life
Inherited jewels, precious stones, family keepsakes: Eleonora Mantini reinterprets them as one-of-a-kind creations, designed to measure for you.
Tell us about your jewelEvery jewel holds a story.
A ring that no longer fits, a brooch you never wear, stones left without a setting. Eleonora holds them with you and tells you what they could become.
The stones stay yours. The shape changes.
Before and after
A forgotten brooch, now worn every day
The salamander was a brooch that was never worn. Eleonora set it on a rigid cuff: the same stones, a new shape.
From the drawing to the goldsmith’s bench
First a drawing, made for you. Then the goldsmith’s bench: the wax, the casting, the stones reset one by one, the polishing.
No step is skipped. None begins without your yes.
From the past, a creation for the present.
Kept safe for years. Ready to shine again.
Tell us about your jewelThe journey
From your keepsake to your new jewel
You don’t choose from a catalogue. You bring a jewel that already has a story, and together with Eleonora you decide what comes next.

Tell usIt all begins with a memory
Your grandmother’s ring, a brooch left in a drawer, stones without a setting. Send us a photo and a few lines: what it is, where it comes from, what you would like it to become.

The meetingAn appointment devoted to you
We meet at the Fumis boutique on Via del Gambero 4 or at the showroom on Via Paisiello 19, unhurried, with the jewel on the table. Eleonora assesses its stones and metal, listens to what it means to you and shares her first ideas for what it could become.
-
The drawingThe new jewel is chosen together
Eleonora draws the new jewel, often in more than one version. You look at them together, change a proportion, move a stone, until it is the right one. The metal, the stones and the price are written on the drawing, and work begins only when you say yes.

The jewel
At the bench, stone by stone
The drawing takes shape at the goldsmith’s bench, with your stones reset one by one. You collect it at the boutique, or it comes to your home.
A new jewel, with the same story.

Jewels that clients brought to Eleonora. Each one as it was, and what it became.
The diamond ring
Every measurement decided on the 3D design, then made at the bench.
The rigid cuff
Rows of diamonds crossed on a black cuff: a jewel that did not exist before.
The sapphire brooch
An antique openwork brooch, now at the centre of a rigid cuff.
The solitaire
The band studied in 3D for an emerald-cut diamond.
The drop earrings
Three hand-drawn proposals. Then the real earrings.
The coral necklace
An Art Deco diamond plaque, now the clasp of a three-strand necklace.
The long necklace
A diamond pavé element, designed in 3D, joins the strands.
From brooch to ring
An emerald brooch, 2.4 × 1.9 cm, redesigned as a ring.
Your jewel can have a new life too.

How long does it take?
How much does it cost to transform a jewel?
Can I use my own gold and stones?
Can yellow gold become white gold?
How do I photograph the jewel to send it?
In natural light, on a pale background, from the front and from the side. If there are stones, add a close-up.
Can I change my mind after ordering?
A jewel made to measure for you is not covered by the 14-day right of withdrawal. That is why you approve the design together before work begins.
