VENETIAN JEWELLERY DESIGNERS and CRAFTSMEN

Venezia.The Attombri brothers couldn’t have a better location than at the “feet” of the Rialto Bridge. Their boutique is situated next to the food market in the Sottoportigo degli Orafi or the goldsmiths arcade. Daniele, working in the photo, along with his brother Stefano have been designing objects and bijoux for the past eleven years. Their artistic creations are inspired by the neo-gothic palaces along the Grand Canal. The bold and unique jewels appeal to Italian pop and rock stars, like Antonella Ruggero, Mattia Bazar and Ornella Vanoni. They have also designed pieces for the collections of Romeo Gigli and Dolce e Gabbana. When in Venice, Julia Roberts likes to browse in the shop.




Precious antique Murano beads are tread through silver wire to create modern and original bijoux.
