In the 1930s, Anna Bacchelli, known as Orisa, started working with her husband in a small shop in Turin. Being a botanist she specialized in creating exquisite jewellery which encompassed a naturalistic style. All of her creations, from the initial cire perdue to the finished object, were unique. Orisa was popular amongst Turin🌠’s high society and aristocracy, for whom she often redesigned their jewe💫ls.
