Artist and Business Statement

Our designs

Our jewelry designs showcase handcrafted pieces inspired by the natural beauty of the region. Each item is meticulously created with a focus on excellence and aesthetic appeal. Every piece is crafted to capture the unique essence of the designer and enhance the personal style of the wearer. Our jewelry is designed to be of heirloom quality, intended to be cherished, passed down, or given as a special gift.

Our Business

We are a small business located in the charming city of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Founder of Piccolo Oggetto, Antoinette, draws inspiration from her Italian heritage, with the name of the brand meaning “Little Object” in Italian.

Antoinette’s upbringing in Palm Springs, California and summers spent in Newport, Rhode Island have greatly influenced her designs. In 2017, a dear friend named Kelly encouraged Antoinette to start selling her creations.

Our custom designs feature a variety of high-quality materials including natural
gemstones, freshwater pearls, sterling silver, gold fill, leather, copper, wood, and glass. We also incorporate rare vintage beads and findings, as well as unique pendants from different parts of the country and the world.

At Piccolo Oggetto, we take pride in our commitment to quality and craftsmanship, which is a fundamental aspect of our brand philosophy.

Testimonials

"I have several pieces from this amazing artisan! I love turquoise and always look for special pieces. Antoinette at Piccolo Oggetto has created distinctive, one of a kind bracelets for me. They are comfortable, beautiful, and different from anything else I've seen. I have received many compliments about one that is a bangle with a gorgeous, huge stone. Another is a string of turquoise stones, with silver beads between them and a really fun clasp that is an elephant whose trunk is the hook! The best part is that I was able to ask for exactly what I wanted, and Voila! my wish came true."

"Antoinette is a kind and gracious and magnificent jewelry designer. I am truly amazed at her beautiful and unique handmade jewelry designs of which I have purchased numerous pieces over the years. My favorite being day of the dead earrings and leather bracelets in beautiful colors of pink, brown and purple. Her heart and soul are infused in each piece and her attention to detail is superb. I am grateful for the continued creation of her jewelry for many more years to come."

"I absolutely adore all of my jewelry made by Antoinette! I get so many compliments on my green Buddha ring! Every single day, someone comments on it. I have beautiful earrings and matching necklaces, and her jewelry makes wonderful gifts. They are each such unique and beautifully crafted pieces. Antoinette always takes such care and thoughtfulness when she packages each piece for shipping, including kindhearted little notes."

"Among my collection of bolo ties is an amber-colored Buddha head set in a bezel of sterling silver by jewelry designer Antoinette Squeo of Piccolo Oggetto. I commissioned my special piece in 2019, and from design concept to fabrication and delivery, Antoinette made the whole process flawless. Priceless designs, reasonably priced."

"Antoinette is an awesome artist. I buy her jewelry every year for Christmas because she helps me with the design and with what my family will like. I have several pieces and am in love with her pieces and designs. The love and dedication expressed in each piece of jewelry is amazing."

I have had the pleasure of purchasing several of Antoinette’s unique and beautiful jewelry designs. I appreciate how she combines precious and semi-precious gemstones along with antique findings, rare baubles, clasps and chains. I also appreciate her leather and metal work. I have commissioned several pieces from her and the recipients are always amazed and overjoyed at the uniqueness of the pieces. To me, Antoinette's interesting aesthetic always shines through on each piece she crafts. Her pieces are “wearable art”.
