Italy in the design. France in the craftsmanship.

At Maison Cisternino, a jewel begins with a way of seeing. Pascal’s Italian roots and upbringing in a family of jewellers in Lyon give him a dual perspective, connecting freedom of design with practical knowledge of the craft.

A line, then a gesture.

Like his brothers, Pascal trained as a jeweller and stone setter. Understanding the position of a stone, the balance of a shape and the line of a curve forms part of this training. Artistic intention is informed by how a jewel is made.

The Maison draws on Ateliers GEM, in the Lyon region. The page devoted to French craftsmanship presents the workshop’s crafts, from design to finishing. Photographs of the gestures offer a closer look at this world and its exacting standards.

Puglia as a notebook of inspiration.

Lecce’s golden stone, white villages and Adriatic light form the Maison’s visual landscape. Every design meets a destination in Puglia: a setting conceived to reveal its lines and material.

These scenes are artistic interpretations based on catalogue references. They evoke an atmosphere and do not claim to document the making of the jewel in the town shown. Italian design and French jewellery craftsmanship each retain their place in this story.

Eight collections, many expressions.

Paloma explores interwoven curves. Diabolo plays with volume and contrasting finishes. Strada gives rows of stones a regular rhythm. Rose des Vents makes the compass motif a personal signature.

The diversity of the collections invites you to choose a character before choosing an occasion. A discreet band, a more substantial ring or a pendant can suit very different ways of enjoying fine jewellery.

Meet the designer.

The portrait of Pascal in Lecce continues this encounter between the man, the place and the creation. To discover his world, start with a destination, observe a detail, then let your eye wander from one collection to another.
