WE WERE BORN IN BEAUTY, AND IT INSPIRES US EVERY DAY.
The entire jewellery world acknowledges the city of Vicenza as the centre of jewellery and watchmaking craftsmanship. Here, even today, the most important trade fairs in the industry take place, attracting goldsmiths, jewellers and luxury connoisseurs from all over the world. A tradition, that of Vicenza’s jewellery craftsmanship, which has become a benchmark and has its first official record as far back as the 14th century: the first public deed documenting the existence of a lively goldsmith activity in the city dates back to 1300. This is the deed of incorporation of the Guild of Goldsmiths of Vicenza, that already in the Middle Ages included as many as 150 artisans and master goldsmiths.
Vicenza itself is a tale of creativity intertwined with the future: with this combination, we are now on the market for luxury handcrafted made in Italy watches.
There are several milestones that bear witness to the link between Vicenza, gold and beauty. During the Renaissance, goldsmithery attained ever higher quality and prestige thanks to an illustrious engraver from Vicenza, Valerio Belli, an artist from the circle of Michelangelo and Raphael, who displayed an extremely high level of skill in working semi-precious stones and metals. The products of the art of Vicenza’s master goldsmiths, among which watches are prominent, are expressed in high-quality jewellery aimed mainly at the aristocracy. But the items for the Church are also masterpieces: the reliquary of the Holy Thorn, a chalice in gold and rare stones donated by the Guild to the Church of Santa Corona to hold the precious relics of Christ’s crown of thorns; the diadem and pectoral of the Madonna of Monte Berico, in pure gold, with over 1,000 stones including gemstones, rubies and diamonds.
Tra il 1700 e il 1800 l’arte orafa vicentina si trasforma da artigianale ad industriale: accanto ad antichi laboratori e piccole botteghe iniziano quindi a nascere numerose aziende a conduzione familiare che hanno saputo proiettarsi nel mondo e innovare in senso creativo la loro produzione fino a diventare oggi capaci di soddisfare le tendenze di moda più attuali e più richieste sui mercati internazionali.
The preciousness of gold and the expertise of a handpicked network of Vicenza goldsmiths give shape to highly customisable designs.
We manufacture individual components, one-off pieces and private label watches.
