The Victory Project | Ossidabile Swimmer Jewellery
The Victory Project.
Pool lanes, reborn.
The world's first jewellery made from recycled swimming pool lane ropes. Handcrafted in Italy. Worn by swimmers worldwide.
From the pool to your wrist.
Every swimming pool has lanes. Every lane rope eventually retires. The Victory Project takes those abandoned ropes and transforms them into handcrafted jewellery — the world's first of its kind.
Founded in 2011 by Gianluca Bertacche, Ossidabile creates jewels that tell stories. Born from a passion for the underwater world, the brand has grown into an internationally distributed collection — all made in Italy's Veneto region.
Crafted from bronze and recycled plastic elements from abandoned swimming pool lanes. Refined design, perfect for those who practice sports and pursue their passions.
Real pool lanes. Real history.
These are the actual retired lane ropes that become each piece. The colour variation in every bracelet comes directly from the original rope — no two pieces are ever identical.
Sustainability
We give new life to materials, reducing environmental impact and promoting a responsible approach to design.
Italian craftsmanship
Every jewel is handcrafted in Italy using artisanal processes and a zero-mile supply chain in the Veneto region.
Passion
Sports, the sea, and personal experiences inspire every creation, transforming what we love into wearable jewellery.
Creativity
We transform ideas and emotions into unique objects capable of expressing the identity of those who choose them.
See how each piece is born.
Using the ancient lost-wax technique, every Ossidabile jewel is shaped by hand. Oxidation is embraced as a metaphor for time — each piece evolves uniquely on the person who wears it.
Collect
Retired lane ropes are collected from swimming pools across Italy.
Craft
Veneto artisans combine recycled plastic with galvanised bronze using traditional techniques.
Wear
Each unique piece ships in eco-friendly packaging, yours to wear to the pool, gift, or treasure.
The perfect gift for any swimmer.
Ships across Malaysia and worldwide. Nickel-free. Eco-friendly packaging.
