About Elena Braccini

Elena Braccini is a Florentine designer and goldsmith artisan, founder of the eponymous sacred and contemporary jewelry brand Elena Braccini Jewelry. Born and raised in Florence, she initially specialized in Interior Design before earning a master's degree in goldsmithing at the Sacred Art School in Florence, where she learned the traditional techniques of the Florentine workshop.

In 2017, she officially launched Elena Braccini Jewelry, blending contemporary design with her city's goldsmithing heritage. Her creations are handcrafted in an artisan workshop in Florence and showcased at historic locations such as Gioielleria G&G Gold by Vettori on Ponte Vecchio and La Rinascente in Piazza della Repubblica. The defining trait of her work is the reinterpretation of religious and devotional symbols—including the Miraculous Medal, ex-votos, guardian angels, and hand-painted miniatures of saints—crafted by hand using silver, 9k, 14k, and 18k gold (including recycled gold), vibrant colored enamels, and lab-grown diamonds.

In her personal life, she is also known in the media for her past relationship with former footballer Daniel Pablo Osvaldo, with whom she has two daughters, Maria Helena and Victoria, whose initials (MV) also inspired the logo of her early collections.
