The SECOND LIFE collection was born from a "seed idea" that emerged in 2020, which had initially been named As Green as possible. The idea was to bring forth a new energy, new vital lymph, from the period of suspension experienced by the world in the second quarter of that year: as if that period had been a winter and a new spring was emerging, greener than any previous spring
The seed idea As Green as Possible not only breathed new life into pieces left in a state of quiescence, but also inspired the combination with wood pulp obtained from processing waste. In this way, not only did the metal parts find new life, but the entire jewel became an expression of the tireless process of existence, which knows no "useless waste", but continually regenerates the forms of its manifestation, discovering ever new and surprising ways in which to "incarnate" itself

A "second life" is not a "second-rate life", almost a blurred shadow of the first: it is another life, more mature, more sensitive, more aware, thanks to the experiences, often sour, gone through during the 'first life'
The "second life" is a more serene life, one that knows, and is therefore less ostentatious, less dazzling, less vain, while being aware of its own value, which is more intimate, less visible, but not therefore less precious.
For this reason, the gems that compose the SECOND LIFE collection are adorned with a luminous leaf of gold or silver, depending on the metal that constitutes their structure: how much more worthy of honour are lives that have been able to trascend themselves!
What a profound joy to have the opportunity of a "second life". One can put to good use everything learned in the "first". And life thus becomes tastier, wiser, more pleasant...
