Embroideries of Venetian architecture become jewels with the new collection by Leo Pizzo ♦ ︎
All things made at home. It may seem unnecessary for a jeweler to point out that he knows how to make his own work. But it is not. Without say names (but perhaps sooner or later we will do them), it is known that many large jewelery houses are, in reality, simple design offices. Only the design of the jewel is produced at home, when even this is not entrusted to an external company. The design is then translated into rings, necklaces and earrings from other manufacturers, perhaps in some remote corner of the planet (spoilers: in Thailand or in China).
This premise is necessary to understand that the choice of Leo Pizzo to design and produce his own collections entirely in Valenza is to be emphasized.
The latest production is the Venezia collection. Leo Pizzo designed these jewels with his thoughts turned to the famous city on water.
Not only: the shape of the jewels is inspired by the embroidery of some late Gothic architecture, with Moorish accents. For example, the decorations of Palazzo Ducale, one of the most famous examples of architecture in Venice. But for Leo Pizzo the undoubted charm of the lagoon city is also enhanced by another aspect: in Venice, in Piazza San Marco, the Maison just opened its fourth boutique.
