What we do

Stones, gold, watches. And much more.

We do a bit of everything here: choosing a stone, designing a piece, valuing a family keepsake, bringing an antique back to life. Always at the counter, always by hand.

Precious and semi-precious stones

This is the heart of the shop: our “salon of stones”. Precious and semi-precious stones in every cut and colour, loose or already set.

Necklaces and bracelets in chrysoprase, aquamarine, amethyst and much more: we look at them together at the counter, one by one, until we find the right one.

Bespoke jewellery

It all starts with a stone and a sketch, or even just an idea you describe to us. We cast the gold and silver in our own workshop and take the piece all the way to completion.

Every piece is one of a kind: we never make it twice, because it is made for one person only.

  • Rings
  • Pendants
  • Earrings
  • One-off pieces

Gold and silver

Gold and silver are worked right here, in the workshop behind the counter: cast, shaped and finished by hand.

If you have a gold piece that needs repairing or remaking, bring it in: we’ll look at it with you and tell you what can be done.

  • In-house workshop
  • Casting
  • Handwork

Watches

We look after watches too: wristwatches and pocket watches, modern and vintage.

Servicing, valuation, restoration and repair: bring yours to the shop and we’ll talk it through.

  • Repair
  • Restoration
  • Vintage

Valuations

A family heirloom, a stone found in a drawer, your grandfather’s watch: would you like to know what it is and what it’s worth?

We examine it under the loupe, just as Cesare Mannelli did in 1875, and tell you exactly what we see.

Antique jewellery restoration

Carrying on the family tradition, we restore necklaces and jewellery set with period stones, cameos, paste and engravings from another age.

With old-fashioned skill and, where it helps, modern technology.

  • Paste stones
  • Engravings
