Giulia Savino is an Italian contemporary jewelry designer with an international and multicultural background.

After receiving a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design from Politecnico di Milano, she obteined a Masters in Contemporary Jewelry and Body Ornament from Alchimia Jewelry School in Florence, mentored by Belgian designer Nedda El Asmar.

During her career she combines teaching with studio practice.

For three years (from 2012 to 2015), Giulia lived in Cairo, where she contributed to the setting and opening of the Middle East’s first ever jewelry school, set up by the pioneer and award-winning designer Azza Fahmy – “The Design Studio by Azza Fahmy”. While there, she worked as a teacher and an assistant to the director Estela Saez.

Since 2018 she is the Head of the Jewelry department at Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Milan; as well she is a design teacher and tutor for the thesis projects.

Besides, her teaching activity includes the organization of creative workshops at international schools, as The DSAF in Egypt.

She is currently living in Turin where, in 2018, opened her studio. Here she designs and manufactures her jewelry collections.

Her research is defined by a graphic and narrative approach: images and experiences are re-elaborated into a balance of essential shapes and colours that become dynamic and light jewels.

 

Most recently, her work has been at exhibitions around the word, including: “Drawn to the Net” a Monaco, 2019; “Circus is 21” a Londra, 2019; “Scatenata” a Milano, 2017; “Bodies&Minds”, a Firenze, 2016; “Alchimia: an Anthology”, a Boston, 2015; “Schmuck”, a Monaco, 2013.

Giulia Savino’s studies and professional experience have led her to conceive jewelry as a field of research, balancing between design, art, and fashion. Her work falls within the realm of contemporary jewelry, allowing space for an independent creative approach. At the same time, she explores the possibility of combining both precious and non-precious materials, applying traditional goldsmithing techniques alongside processes borrowed from other disciplines.

 

At the core of her research is a strong drive for experimentation and the idea of jewelry as a tool for conveying a concept. Her collections are born from personal experiences but speak a universal language in which the audience can recognize themselves and intertwine their own stories.

 

Although the market is not the starting point of her creative process, the final result is always jewelry designed for contemporary life—seductive and lightweight, conceived to be flexible and adaptable to different everyday contexts without compromising its expressive essence.
