Roberta Pederzoli from Quinta Essenza designs textured and tactile jewellery, recreating a sensation of fairy-tale elegance and enchantment by delicately brushing colours over her work. Her jewellery is inspired by natural and organic shapes, in particular by lichens, wood and interesting forms she observes during her walks. Her love of creating jewellery leads her to continuously explore treasured ancient techniques and use them in a personalised way. Born and raised in Italy, Roberta creates pieces where Scottish landscape inspiration and Italian aesthetic sense merge together. Following a commission of medals by Perth Cathedral, Roberta recently entered a medal called “Look after the Land” to the competition organised by The Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council , winning a Bronze Award.
