Roberta Pederzoli from Quinta Essenza designs textured and tactile jewellery, recreating a sensation of fairy-tale elegance and enchantment by delicately brushing colours over her work. 

Her jewellery is inspired by organic shapes, in particular by lichens, wood and interesting forms she observes during her walks. Being born and raised in Italy, Roberta creates pieces where Scottish landscape inspiration and Italian aesthetic sense merge together. 

Roberta has been awarded a VACMA (Visual Art and Craft Maker Awards) to continue her training in hand engraving, and she has recently been working on an elegant hand-engraved collection. 

She strongly believes in the power of art for therapeutic purposes and enjoys planning and delivering creative workshops, aimed at improving people’s general well-being. 

In 2013, Roberta won a Commended Award in Fashion Jewellery (QVC Special Award) by The Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council (GC&DC) known as the Oscar of the Jewellery Industry. Following a commission of medals by Perth Cathedral, Roberta entered a medal called “Look after the Land” to the GC&DC’s competition, winning a Bronze Award in 2021. 

Her work was selected to support Perth’s successful bid to become the UK’s first UNESCO City of Crafts and Folk Art.
