Gioielli Dalla Terra is a contemporary brand that draws inspiration from prehistoric iconography, characterized by the distinctive style and refined Italian taste of its creator, Elisabetta Donadio, an artist’s daughter.
Established in 2005, the brand emerged from Elisabetta’s profound passion for prehistoric art and primordial art forms (40 000/10 000 years ago).
Her expertise in the art world, being the daughter of Piedmontese painter and poet Piero Donadio, extends into jewelry design, resulting in unique handcrafted pieces.
Gioielli Dalla Terra offers several collections:
• Gioielli Scultura Collection : Artistic and precious pieces handcrafted using the lost-wax technique in 925 silver plated with 24-carat gold or rhodium and palladium.
• Ceramica Raku Collection : Exclusive pieces crafted from Raku ceramics
• Bijoux Collection : Fashionable and easy-to-wear pieces made from non-precious metal alloys and innovative materials like Elastone.
The Raku ceramic jewelry is crafted in the workshops of Castellazzo Bormida. Each piece is shaped from raw clay, fired once, then glazed in a silicate and metal oxide bath, and finally fired a second time at 1000°C in a custom-built kiln.
These Raku creations marked the beginning of the brand’s artistic journey and later caught the attention of a major international jewelry company, which distributed them under its own name for a period.
Elisabetta is constantly on the lookout of rare and unusual stones sourcing pearls, semi-precious stones, and precious gems from trusted suppliers worldwide.
In the San Salvatore Monferrato-Valenza workshops, expert goldsmiths handcraft the Gioielli Scultura collection in 925 sterling silver, using the ancient lost-wax casting technique alongside advanced artisanal methods refined over generations.
For years, Gioielli Scultura has been showcased at prestigious art galleries and international exhibitions in Rome, Mantua, Bergamo, Sanremo, Paris, Monte Carlo, Brussels, Tunis, Dubai, Washington, Miami, Los Angeles, and New York.
Since 2015, the brand has been part of a Piedmont Region project dedicated to promoting local enterprises abroad. Through Ceipiemonte Scpa, it has taken part in high-profile events with international buyers in culturally significant venues like the Reggia di Venaria (Turin).
The Gioielli Dalla Terra logo features a small horse, originally carved in mammoth ivory 40,000 years ago, discovered at the Vogelherd Paleolithic site (Germany). This emblem is incorporated into all creations.
The name “Dalla Terra” (From the Earth) reflects the brand’s deep connection to natural materials—from the clay of ceramics to the rock formations that cradle gemstones, all evoking the Paleolithic concept of Mother Earth.
All creations are nickel-free.
Gioielli Dalla Terra is exclusively handmade in Italy.
