Thousands of years ago treasures of ancient worlds contained jewelry that was inspired by cosmic constellations and sacred legends.  It was believed that precious jewelry had a direct link to the spirit world of Gods.  Those remote cultures were drawn to mysterious, mythological symbols, and would often incorporate these elements into jewelry to give each piece a magical power.

The collections of Dionea Orcini reveal those world mysteries shrouded with secrets.  This haute-couture, glamorous jewelry exudes a spiritual message channeled by mystical symbols from around the world, creating uniquely personal and precious amulets.

Wearing these stunning pieces is to journey around the world, crossing continents and centuries, discovering the stories of sacred, magic ceremonies immersed in the extravagance and opulence of magnificent royal courts.

Conceived to be worn as wearable and elegant talismans, this breathtaking jewelry is hand crafted and sculpted with impeccable old-world craftsmanship.

Bracelets are designed to retrace the lines on the hand according to the Art of Palmistry found in the Vedic scriptures; earrings are set with the finest diamonds and conceal healing magnets placed according to Ayurveda acupressure points; gold rings are cast with a delicate pattern, reproduced from the sacred geometry found in an Egyptian temple that dates back 6000 years…

Each piece unlocks a secret, and reveals an ancestral message just for the person that wears it.

The gift of jewelry is an act of love. Born in the realm of fantasy, jewelry can inspire passion and mad devotion.
