Francesca Villa's On the Road Collection Transports Fine Jewelry into Pop Culture
Francesca Villa, an Italian jewelry designer, has introduced the On the Road capsule collection, which includes brooches and pendants designed in the form of trucks. Crafted from yellow gold and adorned with luxurious stones such as diamonds, agate, sapphires, and rubies, this collection draws inspiration from a vintage assortment of truck-shaped pins. Renowned for her reinterpretation of classic pieces and custom pet portraits on gold rings, Villa now delves into the concept of travel. "Travel has always been central to my work," she states. This collection will be featured in the June 2026 Travel Issue of Wallpaper*, accessible in print, via the Wallpaper* app, and on Apple News+ starting May 7, with prices beginning at €13,700 for the Fast Lane pendant.
