He is goldsmith , designer or sculptor? Andrea Cagnetti, aka Akelo, has all three things together. In short, it is not a odinary jeweler, although her necklaces, earrings or bracelets can be worn. But only by one person: in fact, are unique. Just as the works realized, some of which I am now in the halls of American museums like the Newark Museum, the Museum of Art and Archaeology University of Missouri and the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, who bought some Cagnetti works. Because in addition to the virtuosity in metalworking, gold in particular, the sculptor-goldsmith also has another peculiarity: for part of his work is inspired by the Etruscan world. It not by chance was born near Viterbo, land of the ancient people who lived in central Italy. Akelo also uses processing techniques that go back to Etruscan tradition, such as granulation. Fascinated by myths and legends of antiquity (the name chosen comes from Achelous, greek god of river water), the goldsmith artist besides creating sculptures and jewelry has also experimented with sacred art and objects such as boxes and dishes, always gold and precious stones. Here are some of his works of jewelry.
