La Gioia, which means joy, is an elegant demonstration of continuity. Each necklace, each ring, each pair of earrings shows that old items need not be redundant. Tastes change, of course, says Belli, but quality items, which have a history, are of sentimental value, or are made with skill and a “strong intention” can be given a second life, so that they continue to bring joy to those who own them.
