Designer & Founder
Paolo’s style is Classic & Modern. He was trained by Master Jeweler Ezio Oliverio in the Italian traditional style and grace. Oliverio took Paolo under his wing, sharing his passion for jewelry design as well as his philosophy on quality craftsmanship.
“Master Jeweler Ezio taught me that the craftsmanship of a piece must parallel the design,” says Paolo. “A classic modern piece will always be classic and modern.”
When Paolo started the business more than 30 years ago, he wanted to showcase his unique and modern jewelry in a setting that reflects their classic/modern aesthetic.
We are a full-service jeweler, specializing in custom-designed work & vintage redesigns.
