The simplicity of Fiore Roberta

Published on January 20, 2023

Italian jewels in the world: one of the many companies that export most of their production is Fiore Roberta. The jewelry company that gave life to the brand based in Bassano del Grappa (Treviso, Italy) was born in 1989 from the initiative of Pietro Fusaro, master goldsmith model maker. To the activity, previously reserved only for third parties, was added that of jewelry with its own brand. They are simple jewels, easy to wear, and with a style that could be defined universal: tennis bracelets, eternity-type rings, necklaces with large ovals as a central pendant.

The starting idea was to create handcrafted jewels using imagination, flair and passion for details gained thanks to the experience gained working with large companies in the sector. The business was continued by the founder’s sons, Mirko and Andrea, who created the Fiore Roberta brand in 2006. The company still uses exclusively craftsmanship, with the use of 18-karat gold and precious stones, for example, in the Archetti and Altair collections.

Producing chains, but without being chained only to supplying other companies: Karizia, a company from Bassano del Grappa (Vicenza, Italy), has been in the world of jewelry for over 30 years. So, alongside the supply of worked metal, he decided to transform his skills into his own collections. The company was founded in 1987 by three friends: Giorgio Ferronato, Luigi and Carlo Marostica, still at the helm. The main markets of the business still remain the United States, even if customers from Asia and Eastern Europe have appeared.

Also thanks to the quality of production. It-prolux was born together with an important Swiss research center, described as an elixir of long life for silver: it is an antioxidant process that maintains its color over time. That said, Karizia also offers some jewelry lines with her own signature. Like the one dedicated to the goddess Fortuna, the blindfolded girl who is also the icon of the corporate brand. There are also earrings, necklaces and bracelets in which silver is combined with gold with a galvanic technique. The company is also certified by the Responsible Jewelery Council, an association that guarantees a sustainable use of resources, such as for the extraction of metals.

Eco-sustainability and work all in the family. Alisia is a small jewelry company from Bassano del Grappa (Vicenza, Italy) that offers silver rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces at very affordable prices. But without giving up creativity. It is a brand built all around Sara Zanon and Elia Pietrarelli, the founders of Alisia. Sara is the designer, the creative who conceives the collections, and she is also the mother of Elia, who instead takes care of the production of jewels.

But not only. The other two daughters of Sara Zanon, Jessica and Alice, also work in the company, contributing differently to the work. The jewels of the small Maison are in gilded silver, in some cases with the addition of small pearls and natural stones, such as spinel, amethyst or turquoise. Bracelets and necklaces made up of chains or wire have a lot of space, in the most classic tradition of the Venetian goldsmith industry, but there is no lack of pieces that recall a vaguely gypsy style.

Always proposing new articles with the Tre Esse brand, aware of the need to innovate our tradition of over 30 years of jewelery, is our daily challenge “, explained Silvia Basso, head of design at Tre Esse.
