Volpi began with a three-hour jewellery-making class, booked on a whim. From the first session, something clicked and they couldn’t wait to make more. With no formal training, they taught themselves at home through trial and error: soldering, shaping, burning their hands, and figuring it out along the way. It quickly became a fixation and a way to channel a natural instinct for making into something tangible. What started as curiosity became Volpi: a space to turn chaotic ideas into raw, wearable forms.

Volpi’s process is hands-on and instinctive. No sketches, no fixed plans, just carving straight into wax until something takes shape. Ideas come from decay: rusted metal, broken buildings, worn-down relics. Each piece is cast, altered, reworked until it feels lived-in. Like it’s been dug up, not designed. Ancient, but made to be worn now.

Sustainability guides every step. Volpi uses mostly recycled silver and gold, saving every offcut and failed cast to melt down and reuse. Nothing is mass-produced, all pieces are handmade in small batches. It’s about making jewellery meant to last, not fast trends to be discarded. A single ring worn for years rather than dozens bought and forgotten.
