You’re made of Stardust!

Inside Cosmica’s forge something very similar to a birth of a star happens: precious metals melt in a light and fire dance, giving life to something unique and unrepeatable!
A handmade jewel is just like a star: there will never be another one alike.

Did you know that what we are made of comes from the stars?
Thats right! The elements that created life find their origins among the furthest corner of the universe, thanks to the collapsing phase of each star. That is why we are literally made of stardust!

I’m Cosmica, you’re Cosmica!

When we work precious metals to craft our jewelry, we follow the same order and laws of the universe: energies and metamorphoses alternate and dance, giving life to the perfect accessory, brimming with creative energy!

Why do jewels "restore your light"?

Precious metals, naturally endowed with high electrical conductivity, are catalysts for our stellar essence: they can absorb and release our energy, and the jewelry you choose, once worn, will be enriched with your essence, making it even more dazzling!

THE IDEA BEHIND THE NAME

Choosing the name "Cosmica" wasn't at all difficult or complicated; it was almost as if the word had always been there, in the corner of my mind, ready to be used at the right time.

I just thought about what I wanted to create, and there it was, the perfect name for my brand! "Cosmos" is the Universe, a complex system with its own order and laws, the opposite of Chaos.
It is everything.

The name derives precisely from the idea of the constant work of the energies that manifest around us, from creation to destruction and rebirth in the universal cycle: from our experiences, an idea arises that is translated into material creation, which will journey into the hands of someone who will give it an identity and a history. All this will transform into experiences that in turn will give birth to new ideas, and so on, in a constant cycle that unites us.

Sofia's Personal Journey

I won't tell you that I attended prestigious schools or courses, that my life has always revolved around the art of jewelry, or how, with the wave of a magic wand, I realized my dream.

My story is made up of so many factors, which certainly include luck but also sacrifice, bad choices and a few good ones. In short, I am a human being just like you, the one reading this now.

You could say I always had a clear idea of my future, or at least that what I wanted to do would be related to art. But there are so many possibilities! What exactly would I have done? I tried many things, from painting to tattoos, web design, and more, before realizing that what I wanted to do was create precious accessories.

What really changed my life was traveling. Suddenly, I decided to say goodbye to friends and family and leave: I lived in Australia for almost two years, and it was simply incredible! Having the opportunity to meet so many people from all over the world was incredibly inspiring; it opens your mind to new ideas and new experiences.

It was here that I decided to take a basic jewelry course and realized it was truly the path I wanted to follow.

One hot afternoon, while browsing for earring components in a downtown shop (at the time, I was dabbling in jewelry and beads), my eye was caught by a poster announcing a basic goldsmithing course was starting soon! In Italy, I would never have been able to afford goldsmithing school; the costs would have been truly unsustainable, so I couldn't help but seize this wonderful opportunity!

When I returned to Italy, I felt invincible, with luck on my side and the will to conquer the world!

The reality, however, was quite different, and obstacles quickly arose: Italian bureaucracy is well known for being a thorn in my side, but I didn't give up. Step by step, I completed all the necessary steps to open my own goldsmith's workshop and finally start my business!

From day one, I've constantly strived to ensure that the jewelry I create meets every expectation and is filled with positive energy. That's why you'll often read that my jewelry is *magical*!

I've always thought that one of the most important things you can do to achieve your goals is to truly believe in them: isn't that also magic? Energies are more real than you might think, and their influence on us is real.

After all, it's also thanks to this belief that I've gotten this far, right?

If you're looking for the perfect life story, which is as beautiful as it is false, this isn't the right place.

Goals are achieved by dreaming with heart and mind, traveling, making mistakes, crying, getting angry, cutting relationships and building new ones!

Follow your instincts and you'll find yourself on the right path before you know it.

An old Maasai saying goes:

"He who doesn't search for the path doesn't find it."

It was a lot of hard work, I must admit; renovating a property (and one that was hit by floods, to boot) is truly something I hope I don't have to do again anytime soon.

I have to say, though, that I managed to make it almost exactly as I imagined! I can't wait to enrich it with lots of new features. Will you come check it out?
