I live surrounded by the woods. I transform small treasures into companions that bring something alive with you.

I'm Anna. This is Driadi Lab. And this is our story.

How It Started

From the first encounter with wild plants to the birth of Driadi Lab

Love for Wild Plants

It all began with a deep love for wild plants. I began a journey of recognition with Maria Sonia Baldoni , the herbalist, guardian of ancient traditions and the beating heart of the Herb Houses network. Thanks to her, wild herbs began to become a part of my daily life.

We live surrounded by the woods. Every day I collect, observe, and study; plants have become my language, my way of interpreting nature.

A Suspended Time

During the COVID period, a suspended time that for me was somehow magical. I harvested every day, I went into the woods every morning to look for what we would have for lunch or dinner.

When I found something particularly beautiful, I'd put it aside. One day I decided to start transforming these little treasures into something even more precious.

It all started from there.

From the Collection to the Jewel

I'm fortunate to have turned my work into something more like a game than a job . I collect little flowers or leaves that I like. I search for their subtlest meaning, the vibration they bring into the world, and I transform them into jewelry. One of my sources of inspiration is Edward Bach .


I wish this part of the plant to always remain with us, not only for its beauty, but because it is a living companion that brings us something tangible .

Why I Do It

My authentic "Why", what moves me every day

First of all, this job makes me feel good . I think the time for sacrifice is over; everyone should do what brings them joy. This job lets me enjoy my home, my forest, and everything we've worked so hard to build.

There is something even deeper: I want to bring a little piece of my corner of peace into my jewelry .

In ancient times, jewelry always had a purpose, a function beyond ornamentation. I want to return to this depth, restoring the jewelry's function. Not just beauty, but something that can support you, accompany you, give you what you need.

Sometimes something happens, someone chooses exactly the flower that conveys the perfect message, the one they need at that moment. And when that happens, it's pure magic. They're moved, and I'm moved along with them.

Emotion is what rewards me more than anything else.

The story of the bride with the tulips: A girl was getting married. Her mother, on the day of the proposal, had planted some tulips. She dried a few petals and wanted to wear a piece of jewelry made from those flowers for her wedding. She trusted me completely. When she and her mother saw the finished piece, they were moved. This fills me completely. It's an indescribable satisfaction.

Every jewel passes through my hands. Always.

From harvesting in the woods to final creation, I personally oversee every step. No delegation. Just time, study, and care. Weeks of waiting, layers that dry slowly, miniatures that require infinite patience.

Authenticity of the Source

I don't buy from suppliers. I harvest in my forest, where I live. Every plant comes from the land I know intimately, from our travels, from my walks, from my hands. This emotional traceability is non-negotiable.

Research and Function

I don't choose flowers just because they're beautiful. I study flower therapy to understand what each plant can offer. Jewelry must have a soul, not just a form. As in ancient times: beauty serves function.

Unrepeatable Uniqueness

No two little flowers are alike. Nature's uniqueness is intrinsic. Every jewel is unique and unrepeatable.

Care and Precision

I put my all into every creation. Weeks of process and hours between layers. Miniatures that require a great deal of patience. The care goes through my hands, my time, my attention.

Welcome and Gratitude

I'm grateful to everyone who comes. I like to immediately create a familiar, informal, and welcoming atmosphere. The relationship with my clients is emotional. When they're moved by choosing the right flower, I'm moved with them.

Botanical Knowledge

I studied wild plant identification with Maria Sonia Baldoni of Casa delle Erbe. I live surrounded by woods and know them intimately.

This is an invitation: If what you feel while reading these words resonates with you, if you too are seeking that suspended dimension where time slows down and the little things become magic, then welcome to my forest.

Discover the Creations

I don't just want to sell jewelry. I want you to choose the flower that speaks to you, to take with you a little piece of this forest, of this magic, of this suspended time.
