about

a studio
shaped by architecture

an independent jewellery practice in haarlem

every fenda piece begins as a drawing. we study proportion on paper, then resolve it in three dimensions.
weight, balance and the way a piece rests on the body are settled before any metal is touched.

the making happens at our bench. settings are built, surfaces are worked and every edge is finished by hand. nothing is made in volume. nothing is made before it is ordered.

we honour time, craftsmanship, and the delicacy that only hands can build.

01 the founders
Bruno Candido and Leandro Riccioppo

objects, art, architecture, feelings and the way that shapes our experience as humans.

bruno candido’s background spans architecture, fine arts, silversmithing and jewellery making. leandro riccioppo studied gemmology and business, bringing a close understanding of stones, materials and the structure of an independent studio.

founded in sydney in 2020 and relocated to the netherlands in 2026, fenda keeps design and making deliberately close. each piece is developed individually, from the first line to the final object.

the studio works through form, proportion and movement. ideas are shaped through intuition, precision and a sensitivity to the character of each material.

in portuguese, the founders’ mother tongue, fenda means a space in between: an opening, and an invitation to make.

03 the materials

material is chosen in service of the object.

18ct gold

yellow, white and rose. white gold is left naturally unplated, so the alloy keeps its own soft, warm colour.

platinum

naturally white and dense. chosen for substantial stones and for settings that carry the structure of a piece.

argentium silver

a modern silver, luminous and more resistant to tarnish. a material with its own language of scale and surface.
