Mariani 1878 wins the Couture Design Awards in the Best in People’s Choice category ♦
Mariani 1878 is the jewel winner in the Best in People’s Choice category of the Couture Design Awards 2017. The Italian Maison, based in Monza, nearby Milan, brings home, from Las Vegas, an important prize. The company has a tradition that, as its name suggests, dates back to the nineteenth century. In fact, its first jewels were created almost 140 years ago by Camillo Mariani, a silversmith and master goldsmith active in Milan where, it’s not by accident, one of the streets of the center is called via Orefici (means goldsmiths). The Mariani of that time specialized in jewelry and sacred ornaments, such as goblets and crosses. But artisan skill has briefly moved to jewelery, which has now received a completely new secular consecration in Las Vegas. Mariani 1878, on the other hand, has a large audience of admirers, and sells quite a lot out of Italy, particularly in the Middle East and the United States. Rudy Serra
