Her World Is All About Time. Anna Maccieri Rossi Of Italy Creates Timeless Jewels That Comprise Her Cherished Memories And Dreams, Her Present-day Moments And More.
Anna Maccieri Rossi grew up in Reggio Emilia, a city in Emilia Romagna, Italy, a generous land of tradition and a cultural and tourist centre. Her childhood has the scent of rosemary and mint – and evokes memories of the vineyard that her grandfather owned and their large country house.
Jewellery Love: My mother opened her jewellery store, Pietra di Luna, in 1993. The store was named after her favourite gem – the moonstone. I remember after school, I would head to the store to play with gemstones at her store. Stones have a great energy and I always felt there was something magical about them. My mum has now moved to Cesenatico, closer to where I live with my family. Her beautiful new store is a gem and it is called Ametis.
Honing Skills: After college, I studied Technical Design and Art of Jewelry at Le Arti Orafe, Florence. In 2006, I was selected, along with 19 students from across the world for a programme, ‘Master Of Arts In Design And Applied Arts,’ at the Creative Academy – a prestigious school run by the Richemont Group. And thanks to this excellent school, I had the opportunity to start my career with Cartier, in Paris, doing an internship in Design Luxury Goods.

Toranj Kayvon - Born Star
Little did we know that when we first met fashion photographer Toranj way back in 2013 for an editorial shoot that she would one day be gracing the cover herself. We immediately fell in love with her vivacious spirit, positive energy and prodigious talent. She is among the best when it comes to capturing the facets, sparkle and glitter of diamonds—evident from the fact that she has shot five covers for ADORN in these years. Toranj has also blossomed into a fine actor; she was seen in Manmarziyaan (2018) and will now appear in the upcoming film Kesari (2019), in which she has pivotal role. We chose this rising star in our midst for the March-April cover, and she once again worked her magic with diamonds – only this time, in front of the lens.

Each of Syna’s pieces has a little story, a little fragment of historical design and culture – all modernised to work timelessly.Dharmesh Kothari talks about their love for coloured stones, travels and design philosophy.
