- About
- Born in Viareggio, Italy. Neighboring the bucolic region of Tuscany, where in Florence, the famed Count Emilio Pucci and Guccio Gucci were born.
When Francesca recollects her youth in Tuscany, her prevailing memory is that of her grandmother’s enchanting armoire filled with evening gowns and costume jewelry.
These, all from a significant and colorful period in the history of Fashion itself. It was in this treasure trove where she spent hours mixing and matching look after look, forming the foundation of unpretentious taste and effortless chic that pervade her designs today.
While pursuing a degree in classical studies and sociology at the University “Cesare Alfieri” of Florence, Francesca found further confirmation that her passion was indeed for Fashion. As she grew into a woman and traveled the world, she continued to find joy in transforming a simple piece - like a white t-shirt - into something unique by adding a scarf, a pin or a necklace. When she could not find it, she started making it for herself.
With Francesca’s innate sense of style and eclectic personal touches, these pieces induce sensations of intimacy with both art (culture) and nature.

COLORS is the name of the new Summer 2009 collection
INSPIRATION. It’s an early afternoon in mid June, under the peach tree, cicadas are singing, bees are busy, all is quiet. The grass is greener than ever, the sun is warmly yellow, periwinkles are blooming and poppies are floating in the wheat fields along the hill. Through the pines, the Mediterranean is way down, through the pines: indigo blue and shiny sparkly with the reflection of the sun. Summer is sensually insinuating.
CONCEPTS Jewelry to underline the presence of what you are wearing. Not to overwhelm it but to discreetly enhance it. Either with contrasting color block or playfully blending similar nuances.
COLLECTION this time signs the introduction of bracelets
COLORS. This is the name of the collection. Bright, happy, vivid, intense, bold, powerful, natural. “What makes me decide for a color is its sensuality and the emotions associated with it”.
STONES & MATERIALS. lace blue Amazonite, Lapis, green and white Agate, Dendritic Agate and Impressions Jasper.
SCOOPS. Early 50’s Japanese charms, white shell pendants, Mexican “milagros”, or offerings made on behalf of friends and family members.

Its great to have you join up.
There is lots of stuff you can do on kit and caboodle - put images, news and events up, ask/answer stuff in the forums, join a group and yes, you can even pimp your page. Its easy to move elements around and to change the format of your page.
Just remember kit and caboodle is a public network, its aim is promotional, so be sure to only put up personal details that you are comfortable with. There are privacy and email options in the settings. (Gazillions of kit and caboodle emails in your inbox driving you bonkers? Check out how to fix that in FAQ on the right.)
Kit and caboodle is an ideal place to put up posts about exhibitions or any current news that you have. There is a lot of interest in the network. It would be great if you posted regularly in the blog, you can choose to have blog posts on your page and/or on the front page. Add some images and links too.
Also dont forget to join our facebook page. Say hi to Sonya.
Most of all, there are lots of opportunities to network with other jewellers, outlets, galleries and to see what is happening in the world of contemporary jewellery. It should be fun. Anytime you have a problem, or cant work something out, let me know.
Cheers
Cathy
