AT THE BENCH
I trained as a jeweller, then studied industrial design, and that way of thinking, resolving an object until it works as well as it looks, still shapes every piece I make.

BY APPOINTMENT
GREGORIO VASTA.
A DESIGNER AT THE BENCH.
APPROACH
THE SETTING IS THE DESIGN.
I make fine jewellery with a hard edge: high-grade stones, settings cut by hand, the lines kept sharp. I would rather a piece feel a little severe than soft. Most of my work goes into the setting, because that is where the design really lives.
TRAINING
FORMAL CRAFT.
My training was formal, in jewellery manufacturing at TAFE, with diamond setting learned at Cerrone. At Sarah & Sebastian I gained experience across client consultation and procurement, guiding commissions and sourcing stones and materials. Five years in, that range of design, setting and sourcing is what I bring to the bench.
STUDIO
A PRIVATE PRACTICE.
Gregorio Vasta is the private practice I run now. The work is bespoke and made one piece at a time, for people who want something genuinely their own rather than chosen from a case.
