My workshop/studio is based in Corsica ,I work mainly in precious metals 925 Sterling Silver.

 

My work is individually handmade employing traditional silversmithing techniques such as ; Annealing, Engraving, Planishing, Polishing, Soldering, Raising, and drilling.

 

Also I use a traditional hand engraving that can includes your names or a special date, i can also write a saying, a phrase from a poem or song, what ever expresses your feelings is possible!

 

Some of my pieces are hammered and polished, to a shinny or matt finish, I also uses gemstones, Swarovski crystal, copper wood, and leather.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The workshop

 

Saveria' s collections are always limited editions and designs are either "one-off" which are sold as exclusive pieces in France and London.Commissions are undertaken for boutiques and individual clients.

 

 

Quality

 

The good quality of Germès creations is a priority; each piece is individually designed and handmade by Saveria Geronimi with care and attention to detail, using quality components.

All Silver jewellery is made from sterling silver - 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper.

Why 92.5% silver ?


Silver is a very soft metal and 100% pure silver is not suitable for jewellery because it is too soft and would easily bend and go out of shape that why silversmithing use 7.5% (allow) usually copper. Pieces of jewellery are much stronger wont go out of shape and will last much longer.
