The studio

Forms that ask to be touched.

Tora Studio is the jewellery practice of Stefania Catapano. Her work brings together industrial materials and noble metals: nylon and aluminium meet silver, bronze and 18 kt gold.

Innovative technologies and traditional techniques work side by side. 3D modelling, Multi Jet Fusion and MultiJet Printing, CNC technology and 5-axis milling shape the body of each piece; its precious core is shaped by hand at the bench, with traditional goldsmithing techniques. Every jewel is a bridge between past and future.

Process

How a piece is made.

Every piece starts on paper and in clay, passes through the machine, and comes back to the bench to be finished by hand.

Pleasure

PLEASURE reconsiders ancient fetishes and their role in society, in particular their erotic dimension. The pieces are conceived as small fetishes to wear.

The first is the Plug Ring: a body created through 3D modelling and printed in nylon with Multi Jet Fusion, holding a core of silver and 18 kt gold shaped by hand.

Every piece in the collection lives within the same interchangeable framework of materials and techniques, where past and present come together.

Thesis project, Jewellery Design, IED, 2026. In collaboration with Crivelli. Editorial photography by Iris Gentili.
