The MV Luxury Group Manufacturing Hub—a new center representing Marco Valente High Jewelry—has been inaugurated. ♦
Beyond Valenza, Vicenza, and Arezzo, Milan also stands as a hub for the jewelry industry. A significant step forward is the launch of the MV Luxury Group Manufacturing Hub, a new center representing Marco Valente High Jewelry. The brand functions simultaneously as a workshop that provides third-party manufacturing services for other labels. This is made possible through the integration of Sisti—a Milanese goldsmithing workshop founded in 1986 by Italo Rabericati, known for its work with major luxury houses and its expertise in high jewelry—which was acquired by the MV Luxury Group in 2023.
In essence, this production hub is rooted in a long-standing tradition, helping to preserve artisanal skills that might otherwise vanish under the pressure of increasing standardization and the challenges of generational turnover. The new Marco Valente High Jewelry hub is designed as an integrated ecosystem where manufacturing, research, and training coexist and reinforce one another, featuring workshops dedicated to the creation of high jewelry. This, too, is part of the legacy of Sisti, which has progressively expanded its scope of operations and areas of specialization. Alongside the production of Marco Valente High Jewelry creations, the facility develops private-label projects for other industry players, supporting them throughout the entire creative and production process—from concept definition, design, and engineering to prototyping and the creation of the finished piece of jewelry. The presence of André Messika—one of the world’s leading diamond traders and chairman of the group bearing his name—at the unveiling of the hub speaks for itself; his daughter, Valérie Messika, founded the renowned Parisian high-jewelry Maison that carries the family name.
Creativity and Technology
A defining feature of the MV Luxury Group Manufacturing Hub is its ability to produce physical prototypes within 48 hours of CAD design approval—a testament to a production model that combines precision, flexibility, and rapid development, all without compromising on quality. Furthermore, the facility offers maintenance, repair, and restoration services for clients’ existing jewelry, helping to preserve its material, artisanal, and sentimental value. The hub also houses a dedicated research and development center, where cutting-edge design and modeling technologies are balanced by traditional craftsmanship.
Last but not least, the Maison’s in-house academy is set to launch in 2027. Designed to foster intergenerational exchange, it will ensure the structured transfer of technical skills to the next generation of professionals. This investment secures the future of highly specialized trades—a vital component of Italy’s manufacturing heritage. Beyond the goals of generating employment and business, the initiative seeks to cultivate a culture and safeguard expertise that might otherwise be lost. It contributes to building an ecosystem where the local region, manufacturing tradition, and environmental stewardship can flourish together, creating lasting value for the community and for future generations.
