Liquid Setting
A one-of-a-kind technique
Some techniques can’t be fully explained; they should only be experienced. Our unique crafting method, the Liquid Setting process, is not written in someone else’s book; it’s rooted in our instinct and guided by our artisanal culture. It’s forged in fire, shaped by our hands to resonate in every piece we create.
OUR UNBEATEN PATH
During our classical goldsmithing studies in Milan, a lecturer told us setting gemstones in molten gold was impossible.
So, of course, we set out to prove them wrong.
“Liquid Setting” —aptly named—captures a complex process demanding top-tier skill, deep mastery of traditional techniques and a heart ready to be moved.
Pouring molten gold over precious gemstones takes precision and just a touch of madness.
INNER FIRE, MOLTEN GOLD
Traditionally, gemstones are set into cold, solid metal after it's cast. We flipped the script: heat is at the heart of everything we do, redefining how precious materials interact.
We work with sapphires, rubies, and diamonds—the only stones tough enough to withstand the intense heat of molten gold.
By blending classical goldsmithing mastery with a bold vision, we craft jewelry with a fluidity that becomes our signature.
PURE ONE-OFFS
Mastering this process is an art, a constant conversation between materials, tools and skilled hands that, with sensitivity and expertise, guide molten gold with every pour. That unique, unrepeatable moment demands intense focus and the courage to embrace the unexpected.
To protect the stones from the gold's heat, we use special techniques and materials. But honestly, some risk is inevitable—and that's exactly what captivates us.
Risk drives us to constantly improve; it reflects life's inherent uncertainties. It's fundamental to our philosophy and fuels our passion to perfect this technique.
Only by achieving that fluidity at high temperatures can we create jewelry that forever captures the fleeting beauty of a moment, ensuring every piece is unique and unrepeatable—even to us who made it.
JUST LIKE LIFE IS FULL OF BEAUTIFUL IMPERFECTIONS, SO ARE SIDERÆ JEWELS.
Born from chaos to give it form, they carry its marks and echoes: stones might shift during casting, gold might not reach every spot, creating unique touches that make our jewelry feel alive. Our creations don't just adorn: they live and breathe, echoing the unpredictable beauty of life.
