DREAMED AND HANDMADE IN BALI, INDONESIA.

The creation process at tredici.zerodue is a journey of meticulous craftsmanship and heartfelt dedication.It all begins with a vision, where each piece starts to take form in the mind's eye. Inspired by the beauty of nature or the creative energy of our studio, sketches are brought to life the traditional way using pencil and paper.

These designs are then reviewed with our master metalsmiths, ensuring that every detail captures the essence of our vision. Each piece undergoes traditional handmade techniques, crafted with individual care and devotion. The result is a collection of jewels that exude a unique, unrepeatable charm – no two tredici.zerodue pieces are ever alike.

Our dedication to quality goes beyond materials. Made from solid 925 silver, our jewels boast a dense and surprisingly weighty feel, ensuring their durability and making them companions for years to come.

At the heart of our process lies a commitment to ethical sourcing and responsible production. Materials are thoughtfully sourced from trusted suppliers, ensuring that every stone and metal is ethically obtained. We proudly work with Indonesian artisans and creatives, supporting and giving back to the community we are a part of. Mindful of our environmental footprint, our jewels are crafted only in small production runs, on a made-to-order and custom-made basis, using recycled 925 sterling silver whenever possible. We also package our products using repurpose cotton leftovers to create beautiful, reusable storage bags.

At tredici.zerodue, we hold jewels dear, seeing them as symbols of craftsmanship, collectivity, and integrity.

THE MOON MADE HER DO IT.

“I’ve always been fascinated by jewels as these powerful objects able to travel through time and space, carried by different people. Over the years, I’ve searched for these storyteller pieces in dusty antique shops in Italy and noisy markets in India, Thailand, Morocco, and Turkey, but I’ve never really been a jewelry wearer, rather a collector of them.”

Traveling around the world and experiencing a growing attraction to Asian countries and cultures, Elena Petroni decided to quit her job in the Milan fashion industry and move to Bali. It was the 13th of February 2015, the date which gives the name to the demi-fine jewelry brand she launched two years later. 

It all started at night on a bale in a garden facing the rice fields. It was a full moon night, the air filled with incense, sounds of nocturnal creatures, and magic. She drew a circle linked to a long triangle representing the moon and its ray of light. tredici.zerodue's first earring was born.

Her designs flow from a lifelong fascination with astronomy, the inspiration behind the dot-texture signature of the brand. This recognizable peculiarity is linked both to the desire to abstractly reproduce the celestial bodies' surface it is inspired by and the need to communicate a sense of vitality and authentic artistry each piece is filled with. 

Elena explores jewelry from a point of personal storytelling, translating thoughts, concepts, and feelings into aesthetic elements. Inspiration comes from her dreams, from what she experiences and feels in a particular moment, and from anything that has a deep, true impact on her.

"I enjoy transforming intangible concepts into tangible objects intuitively. Through tredici.zerodue jewels, I have been developing my own language, translating emotions and ideas into aesthetic elements”
