Verde Alfieri was born in Venice and lives and works in Milan. She is the daughter of the renowned publisher, journalist, and art critic Bruno Alfieri.

After studying graphic design, Verde worked in graphics and communication for leading Italian publishers and companies, and since 1996 she has been part of her family’s publishing house as Art Director. Her passion for contemporary and digital art led her to create artworks under the name MeltingVerde, exploring color, form, and material in innovative ways.

In 2013, she expanded her artistic practice into studio jewelry, turning her art into wearable pieces. That year, she launched her first collection of contemporary jewelry using ropes and brass wires.
In 2014, she introduced her first series of paper jewelry — small, delicate, and sculptural pieces that combine artistic expression with material experimentation.

Verde’s jewelry blends precious and recycled papers, inspired by a variety of cultural influences. Her designs feature striking shapes and vibrant colors, evoking Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Italy, where jewelry traditions have deep artistic roots. Each piece reflects her vision of modern, unique, and wearable art.
