From the ancient Neapolitan tradition, the equally historic Florentine goldsmith: in the Pippo Perez blood, flowing the gold of Naples and verve Tuscan. The jeweler has ancient roots, even from the Renaissance period. In the historical archives of his hometown, he says, it is preserved a document that testifies a work of his grandfather, Francesco Perez, for his majesty Fernando of Aragon. The story continued. In the sixties, the father of Pippo Perez rose to prominence in the news for a snake bracelet given by Clark Gable Sophia Loren. Jewel, for the uninitiated, that has the appearance of the small snake that lived in Capri, considered the bearer of good luck (but now seems to have disappeared from the island). Pippo Perez has decided to broaden the horizons and at 16 he moved to Valenza to study the techniques of the jewelry, and then in gemology in Switzerland and the United States. All experiences that helped to melt a touch of technical innovation to his creations, award-winning on several occasions. Finally, the decision to start again from Florence, together with Maurizio Marchi and Michele Capalbo. The style of brand, blends sports materials, such as marine rope, ie a cord made of synthetic fiber usually used on boats, with precious stones and gold. The subjects are often symbols as for luck, or evocative of distant cultures, as in the collection dedicated to the Navajo or Tibet. Although there were same more traditional pieces, like the rings. So, Pippo Perez went from the Neapolitan tradition to rock. Giulia Netrese
