THE DARK SIDE THE METHOD The name of my method derives not only from the passion that connects my artistic side with my clients, but also from the unique crafting process of the jewelry. In fact, many rings are sculpted on the inner side as well, the dark side of the jewel. _WHY DID I DECIDE TO CHOOSE THIS DUAL PROCESSING? The intention was twofold. The first reason is linked to the desire to tell a story, giving it the space it deserves, as I've already mentioned. Then there's the significance of chiaroscuro, the dual level of interpretation that is concealed within each story, and it's up to you to decide whether to share it or not, revealing the inside of the ring. I am aware that I am practically the only one producing this type of jewelry in Italy, and I understand well why. Indeed, it might almost seem like a waste of time, dedicated to "something that is not visible, that remains hidden." However, I wanted to be able to tell a story and allow my customers to share it in full or in part, by revealing (or keeping hidden) the inner part of the ring. This truly makes a piece of jewelry an art form, conveying a deep and complete message that brings out your personality and provides an opportunity to share it, knowing you're wearing a piece of jewelry produced in very limited quantities, each slightly different from the other. _WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE ACCESS TO A HANDCRAFTED, CUSTOMIZABLE JEWEL? No size limits: a characteristic of industrial ring production is the lack of very small sizes (or conversely, even more so for very large sizes). Each piece is, in its own way, unique, due to the entirely manual finishing. The jewelry is crafted after your purchase and customized according to your specific requests. The sculpture on a ring can be proportioned according to the finger size and customer preferences. For example, you can order size 14 but decide that the "head" or the top part has the dimensions it would normally have in a size 20. We will evaluate together, if necessary, whether this request is feasible, and I will ensure that the piece of jewelry is perfectly proportioned and meets your expectations. _WHAT DOES A 100% HANDCRAFTED PRODUCTION MEAN? Of course, my working method already involves lengthy timeframes, and when you add the fact that I handle everything, from the creative phase to packaging the parcels, it's natural that production is much more limited compared to typical jewelry that can truly be considered uniform, as they are made through industrial procedures. Even in the sample rings, each piece will have slightly different characteristics, thanks to the manual process. I must say, however, that this way of working, having tried other paths in the past, suits me and allows me to unleash my creativity without constraints imposed by trends or company demands... and more. I have the opportunity to directly engage with every customer, who will communicate directly with me, creating an essential dialogue to achieve the mutual objective: to have a tailor-made piece of jewelry that perfectly complements the personality of the wearer.

Deus Ex Machina Who I am and The Origin of DECEM Skull jewelry and vintage silver jewelry DECEM is not a jewelry brand. It is a sacred language forged in metal. Each creation is a symbol. Each symbol, a threshold. Each threshold, a gesture that tells who we are — before words ever arrive. There is no audience. There are those who listen. There is no trend. There is a calling. My objects do not follow the market. They ignore it. They pass through it. My name is Paolo. DECEM is my ritual name, not a commercial one. I create with slow hands, guided by a thought that burns long before the metal exists. Each of my works is born from silence, nourished by archetypes, sacred architectures, forgotten liturgies. I do not draw. I listen. Each object arrives when it is ready. My work is not to decorate, but to reveal. DECEM was born the day I stopped asking what would please the public, and started creating what truly spoke to me. Since 1988, Paolo Grillo has been forging Relics in Venice. With DECEM he created a Temple that transcends jewelry: each creation is a symbol, a memory sculpted in silver and gold. The Medusa ring, together with other icons, embodies myth, hyperrealism, and dark elegance. I founded DECEM with a simple conviction: jewelry should not imitate the past or chase the market, but embody a language that endures through time. In a world saturated with ephemeral objects, I chose to create symbolic relics in silver and gold, sculpted inside and out, capable of guarding invisible stories. My “Dark Side Method” is not a technical whim, but an act of sincerity: even what is hidden deserves the same beauty as what is revealed. Each creation is born for those who recognize the difference between an ornament and a symbol. Not for everyone, but for those who are ready to listen. DECEM is not everywhere: it lives in my studio in Venice, on my website, and in a few carefully chosen places. This is how it remains what it must be: rare, exclusive, intimate. To wear a DECEM jewel means to guard a part of my research, my obsession with detail, my faith in art as a temple. Not a brand to flaunt, but a secret to share with those who truly matter. “I don’t create jewelry. I sculpt narrative relics.” For press inquiries and interviews: press@xdecem.com INTERVIEW THE CURIOUS STORY OF PAOLO GRILLO ART MASTER E FOUNDER OF DECEM Paolo, first of all welcome and thank you for opening us the doors of your studio, in a decidedly suggestive location like the Venice Lido. The first question is trivial, if you like, but definitely ritual: how did your passion for jewelry come about? Since I was a child I have always had a great predisposition for drawing and manual skills. I remember endless afternoons in my father's garage, where I could give vent to my creativity and make it three-dimensional, through the creation of objects. Dad was a municipal employee, but he always had the gift of dexterity, although he never cultivated it. When he wasn't spending his free time building models and painting them, he devoted himself to gardening, expressing his skill with his hands in many ways. I probably inherited this ability, putting it to good use, from him and my grandfather. Unfortunately I never met him but I know he painted and, in my own way, I'm happy to have highlighted this talent, making it not only a job, but my whole life. What do you mean "my whole life"? For many years I have kept my passion for the dark world in the shadows, making rather common, anonymous, if you like, jewels that do not convey any differentiating message if you wear them, they are simple (albeit beautiful) ornaments. Being able to give free rein to my true and deep passion makes this work an integral part of myself. I studied for a long time to undertake this path, attending the Art Institute, where I learned fabric processing, printing, graphics and, in my specific field, I learned the art of working metals and goldsmithing, a real own forge of talents, very concrete and linked to the artistic trades. But, sorry to interrupt you, aren't we talking about the art school? No, it was really an institute where all the professions related to the world of craftsmanship and art were learned, expressed through different forms, such as fabrics, gold, etc. Unfortunately, it has now been transformed into an art school, just for lack, before everything, of artisans who taught such particular and precious trades. d fter five years, I graduated as Master of Art with specialization, a beautiful qualification. I'm honest, I'd like young people today to always find a way through which to express their artistic talent. At 21, I took the plunge and opened my own business with a partner, as a general goldsmith's shop, where we went from solitaire to the chain for communion. The experience in Vicenza, the beating heart of jewelery and goldsmithing Collaboration with an important company that produced high-end manufacturing chains, made with mechanical processes, but with a predominant component of manual skill and design, opened the doors to a world where everything moved at a different pace. I understood more complex dynamics, production processes, I had the opportunity to forge very valuable relationships in that much bigger world than my small artisan reality. These skills and knowledge allow me today to make my jewels even more unique, through the availability of beautiful precious stones. There was a particularly difficult moment when you realized how complex is it to work through one's artistic expression? There have been several moments, not least the pandemic which however, absurdly, opened the doors to the complete realization of my dream, that is to express the art I love most, the one with dark atmospheres. In reality, the most difficult moment ever was a theft we suffered during our activity in Vicenza: about 8-9 kilos of gold, a significant amount, even if there were four of us. For me, who was the person with the least financial resources, it was the coup de grace. I dropped everything and went back to my business in Venice, a bit light-hearted actually, to finally stop take a long commute every day. Have you resumed being a craftsman then? No, actually not. I was now alone in managing the shop, also because it was quite large, divided into three floors. I relied on a well-known brand that produces steel jewelry. In practice, I had locked up my expertise and passion for goldsmithing, for creating jewels, to keep my dark soul company. That's probably where they met. I wonder if they ever thought they could finally go out together in the sun and give life to my current brand [laughs]. Until at some point the shop was closed, right? How did you get out of this difficulty too? The shop itself had some structural features that made entry more difficult of tourists (trivially a few steps, useful for high tide, are enough to create a real "wall"). When the activity ceased, I found myself starting again, for the umpteenth time, and I found work as a salesman in high fashion. Sounds weird, right? But I must say that always it is an art form, so they were pleasant years, in which, at the same time, I was also able to start over some small work as a craftsman. Did you finally get your "prisoners" out of the basement? Actually only one: I made jewelry for new mothers. Bracelets, pendants, with stylized names, initials and children. Yes, I know that compared to what I do now it seems hardly credible, but the love for goldsmithing and for creativity could not to separate from me and so I sold online, through a website, these jewels always very appreciated by the general public. I was chasing trends, market demands. I was actually running away from what I really wanted to do, but it took me a while to figure it out. I ask you an uncomfortable question. You experienced it as a sort of compromise No, I would say no, I was very serene. You know, the truth is that mine dark soul was expressed in my passions, clothing, literature, photography, art. It filled my time free, as happens for my clients, people who want to express their personality through my jewels. I probably felt, deep down in my soul, the need to translate everything I had enclosed in my mind into jewels, but it had not yet emerged on a conscious level. Until something happened that brought you to where you are now. I was too handcrafted and probably too expensive for the kind of jewelry new moms buy. So, thanks to the pandemic and the end of work in the shop, I realized it was the right time. THE ATELIER I opened my laboratory here on the Lido, because I live on this particular and suggestive island. that was also inhabited by well-known names in literature, such as Goethe, Byron and Thomas Mann. A truly unique place, just as unique is the route, a real pilgrimage, to get here from Venice. By the way, your working method is called Dark Side. Why? It has a double meaning. The first is to express the atmosphere that has finally come out of the famous basement, and has decided to permeate the whole environment and all the jewels I produce. The atmosphere we breathe is me and the people who decide to be represented by my jewels, clearly expressing their identity. The second represents the particular workmanship of the rings, which are also carved on the inside, the one that remains obscure. Last question Paolo, a curiosity. Why Decem? THEl ten, which in Roman numerals becomes one X, to me is very fascinating. The X, if you think about it, is specular, always the same and true to itself, with a precise center. It has always struck me on a symbolic level. Moreover, for me it has an even more important value. I love my city, Venice, especially in what was its heyday, when it was "La Serenissima", a maritime republic, at the center of the world. The doge, lord of the city, at the time had ten advisers to whom he relied on people of enormous culture and experience, who made the complex decisions that had to be taken more balanced, above all for the security of the state. I don't think it was ten by chance, given that it is a number that recalls balance and that, since Pythagoras, symbolizes perfection. Perfection that I seek throughout my process of creation and that I want to pass on to people who fall in love with my jewels, to ensure that they really wear something unique, which tells a story, that expresses a complex and fascinating identity, from all its sides. _Paolo Grillo

DECEM spedisce in tutto il mondo. DECEM ships all over the world HYPERREALISM HOW ARE DECEM JEWELS CREATED? T he creative basin from which I draw originates from that side where shadows inhabit our thoughts, where our essence is tinted with a twilight hue, monolithic, devoid of light. Made of chaos. This deeper and seemingly menacing dimension is present within all of us. It's called by many names and takes various forms and expressions depending on human domains (from art to literature). When I began to unleash my passion, I immediately understood that my creations wouldn't be "flat" jewels, merely based on aesthetic appearance. I would give life and three-dimensionality to emotions, to stories, true or not, imprisoning them in something that was much more than an accessory: a small wearable expression of art. Every one of my clients knows that what they are purchasing is not just a simple object, empty, soulless, but a story crystallized in an image. A tale that they can keep to themselves or share with those around them, also revealing, in part, something about themselves. HOW ARE THE DECEM JEWELS CREATED? _THE FIRST DESIGN TAKES PLACE IN MY MIND I know it might sound strange, but probably the longest and most complex phase of the birth of one of my creations is precisely the creative, conceptualization phase. In fact, my sources of inspiration are often linked to music, art, literature, mythology... to the entire world of my passions. For this reason, I never try to force this creative process, but rather let it happen naturally, which means I don't have a constant stream of new collections. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes much less; it's often an unconscious process. Each piece takes shape first in my mind; I visualize it exactly as it should be once finished. However, then comes the "harsh clash with reality." Indeed, what is perfect in my mind may not be practical or wearable as a piece of jewelry, or it might struggle to take on a three-dimensional form, as the expectations in my mind are always very high. I never have the anxiety to release a new collection or a new product just to try to sell more. My goal is to create something that represents me, something I would wear myself, and that is consistent with my brand and my identity. This means I don't rush myself from this perspective: time for me is priceless, as it is truly a key element in the production of my jewelry, starting from the initial ideation phase. HOW IS HYPERREALISM ACHIEVED? _AN ANCIENT PRACTICE MERGES WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES, TO BRING FORTH A PERFECTLY DETAILED JEWEL This unique fusion arises from my need to have a model of the object while simultaneously being able to design all the tiniest details, even those that almost escape the human eye. The ancient lost-wax casting method meets the requirement to create an object rich in minuscule details, which can be complex to achieve with the naked eye. So, I decided to leverage technology and zoom through digital sculpting: this way, I can provide objects that are extremely realistic and finely detailed in even the smallest particulars. This technique is of great assistance for internal processing as well, and for me, it's another tool at the service of my craftsmanship, allowing me to deliver an extremely detailed result that leaves one speechless. Only this way is it possible to materialize the idea and precise design into a very small object. From the design, we thus transition to three-dimensionality, to the wax model. The model is refined and perfected until it meets the requirements of the desired design. Once I am satisfied with the model, I move on to the next phase. I coat the wax model with a refractory material (plaster) to create a container, a cylinder, that can withstand the heat during the metal melting phase. _Lost-wax casting The plaster cylinder is placed in an oven where the wax is poured and the resulting mold is then filled with molten metal, which is allowed to solidify and cool. The metal fills the cavity of the wax model and fits its shapes perfectly. Lost-wax casting: an ancient goldsmithing technique ideal for sculptures. The lost-wax goldsmithing technique dates back over 3,000 years and is based on the creation of a wax model as the foundation for producing pieces in precious metals. Especially for new designs, this is the moment of truth, when I realize whether, aesthetically and technically, the piece of jewelry is feasible or not. There can be a disproportion, often noticed only by me, that compromises the aesthetics and sometimes even the functionality of the object. This is more important than it might seem, as a piece of jewelry must not only be beautiful but also wearable. _Creation and finishing Once the object is approved, the finishing phase begins, which is also quite labor-intensive. The reason lies in the difference in processing compared to industrial procedures. In fact, within those processes, the final phase involves polishing, done by machines, the burrs, of the entire piece of jewelry. This creates polished, uniform objects, smoothed on every side, in every angle, and detail. Instead, my jewelry pieces are individually smoothed and polished, entirely by hand, to provide different tactile and visual sensations to various parts of the jewelry, playing with light and shadow, with what's in shade and what's in sunlight. The finishing phase is lengthy and becomes a true moment when the sculptor faces their work and must make it so detailed that it's almost lifelike. Each DECEM jewel is entirely handcrafted in Italy, in 925 sterling silver, using traditional goldsmith techniques and unique sculptural processes. From the first gesture on the wax to the final polish, every stage is executed personally, bringing to life a creation designed to withstand time: your Relic.
