Hi, I'm Gina Franzetta. Jewelry has always been my artistic north star, where structure meets spirit and beauty carries talismanic meaning. With a Master of Science in Computational and Advanced Design, a background in luxury jewelry sales at Tiffany & Co., and a passion for astrology and metaphysical symbolism, I bring a unique blend of creativity and technical skill to every project. I’m experienced in 2D and 3D design and comfortable working collaboratively to bring elegant, minimal, and meaningful designs to life. Although I am still growing my jewelry-specific modeling skills, I have a solid foundation in Rhino, ZBrush, Maya, and Blender, and I’m skilled at producing clean, engraving-ready linework. I enjoy working on projects that marry spirit with form, and I look forward to contributing my expertise to creative teams and unique collections that resonate on a deeper level.
