Antyquo

Milan, ITALY

Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is transformed

Francesca Antico is a young jewelry designer, she graduated with honors in fashion design and she started to create jewels 5 years ago.
Antyquo rings and earrings are all made with recycled materials, mainly glass, all covered with resin. Francesca decided to use this technique, focused on mixing glass and resin, because her goal is to breathe new life into a waste glass found on the streets or coming from broken objects.
Antyquo handmade jewels are all realized in a spontaneous way, mixing shapes and colors, giving life to something unique, special and colorful.

Her core values are:
- sustainability, the only use of waste material to create art
- attention to detail, everything is made in a meticulous way from jewels to packaging
- handmade, it is all made by the artist who finds the materials, creates the jewels and realizes the packaging
- transformation, she wants to overturn people’s vision of scrap material, everything can change if it is seen from a different perspective
