A knot to keep a bond of love firm or, let’s admit it, to keep it away from possible temptations: Bottega Boccadamo, an accessible Italian jewelry brand, has chosen this universal symbol for a collection that includes necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings in silver essential or plated in the two versions in rose gold and yellow gold. In the jewels of the Nodo d’amore collection the protagonists are intertwined hearts, single and double knots and symbols of infinity, characteristic elements of the iconography.
Knots are the protagonists of pendants in necklaces, central in bracelets and rings and are also present in earrings, button or semi-circle. The company also underlines an eco-sustainable approach through the use of recycled silver, to remember the maison’s constant commitment to a responsible business model.

Caleida, a female first name found in the Anglo-Saxon world, although it is quite rare. But it is also a word that is associated with the kaleidoscope, a visual game which, thanks to a system of mirrors, composes complex geometric shapes. The name derives from the Greek kalos, that is, beautiful, the word eîdos, form, and skopèō, which means to observe. How many meanings behind the name Caleida, chosen by Boccadamo for a line of his jewellery. The jewels in the collection are made with a smooth surface, with white cubic zirconia pavé.
The line includes bracelets, rings, earrings and oval and pendant, drop or double drop necklaces. The lobe earrings and necklaces come in two different variations: in a contrary circular shape or with small drop-shaped pendants, while bracelets and rings are always in a double-drop oval shape. It is available in yellow gold plating, rose gold or the more versatile rhodium-plated version.
The bell is one of the subjects that is often used in jewelry. Now Boccadamo is re-proposing it as a pendant for necklaces. But, in addition to the world of jewelry, bells are often linked to people’s memories and experiences. The sound of a bell can remind us of the beginning or end of lessons at school, the call of a bell tower, or a more rural experience, such as that of cows or goats grazing. In short, the bell, in addition to being a decorative object, is also linked to episodes engraved in the memory.
Boccadamo’s pendant necklaces are quite long, rhodium-plated or yellow gold-plated, with the addition of cubic zirconia to offer some extra sparkle. The base of the bells is hand-enamelled, while the surface is decorated, in contrast, with hearts and stars available in a wide color palette, which ranges from softer shades such as pearly white, pink and light blue to more decisive ones such as coral red, green and purple.
Boccadamo with diamonds and pearls

The new line, previewed at Vicenzaoro, includes laboratory diamonds mounted on 18 carat gold and available in a range of solitaire rings, trilogy rings, necklaces with pendants and earrings. 18-karat gold also for jewelery with pearls, proposed by Boccadamo in the freshwater version, grown in lakes, rivers, artificial basins and irrigation canals all over the world, in particular China, Japan and the United States.
The history of Boccadamo begins in the early 1980s with the production of silver jewelry with hard and semi-precious stones. In 1998 the company opened a production site in Frosinone (Italy). In 2006, with a new Boccadamo line, a collaboration with Swarovski was added. And in 2016, Tonino Boccadamo presents the maison’s first line of wristwatches, for him and for her. And now a new twist, with the addition of diamond and pearl jewelry.
A word game for bijoux from the Mya Boccadamo collection. The line of the brand specialized in accessible jewelery is called CerAmica, which combines the word ceramic and the word amica (friend in italian). The bioux are made, of course, from glazed, lightweight ceramic. Ceramic, in a particularly resistant version, has long been used in jewelry. The CerAmìca collection offers earrings, necklaces and bracelets, rhodium-plated or yellow gold and rose gold plated, which acquire character through delicate heart and circle-shaped pendants, both in full and perforated versions, declined in elegant black, ivory and baby pink enamel .
The earrings are lobe, essential. The necklaces and bracelets, from the classic model with small link chain, have the round or heart-shaped pendant. The colors are bold: white, pink, black. The prices of these bijoux are truly within everyone’s reach, they do not exceed 20 euros.

Boccadamo is increasingly green
Is it possible to create green jewels even if they are other colors? It is the path that more and more companies are taking, convinced and aware that the aspect of environmental impact is no longer secondary, even in the choice of who buys. Boccadamo, a company specialized in affordable bijoux based in Frosinone, has also decided to follow a green path. Pushing on a decisive turn towards sustainability is the owner of the company, Tonino Boccadamo, who claims attention to the green ahead of its time, that is, already present for several years. Now the company has decided to underline the stages of the journey that began in 2013, with the decision to invest in photovoltaic systems.
The panels were used to use clean energy and make production self-sufficient, limiting energy supplies and reducing carbon dioxide emissions during plant operation, with minimal environmental impact. Then, Boccadamo also decided to use recycled silver and bronze, choosing certified suppliers, companies of reference in the trade, recovery and refining of precious metals, which have accreditations and certifications obtained from the main national and international authorities, concerning product quality , process, attention to the environment and safety.
Gold and silver are materials that can be recycled indefinitely, without losing their quality. The use of recycled silver and bronze, underlines the company, for Boccadamo jewels involves a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, water consumption and other impacts on the environment, since the use of recycled metals requires a much lower amount of resources than those extracted. Furthermore, the percentage of extracted silver still used for Boccadamo creations comes from transparent extractive mines, which respect and protect workers’ rights and encourage responsible commercial practices. The Chain of Custody and Code of Practice (CoP) certifications of the Responsible Jewelery Council (RJC), held by Boccadamo suppliers, constitute a guarantee of the integrity of the products and materials used, allowing the company to know the complete history of how they have been sourced, tracked and processed, from mine to retail. Finally, the crystals and semi-precious stones used do not contain lead and are all certified nickel free.
Crystals and bijoux, a close-knit couple. It is therefore normal that on the occasion of Valentine’s Day all the brands of fashion jewelry, that is jewels that focus on the shape rather than on the precious material, take the field to please couples or, more precisely, to suggest a gift to be presented on the 14th. February, Valentine’s Day. Boccadamo, a company specializing in whimsical and high-impact bijoux, suggests taking a look at collections such as Caleida, Sharada and Allegra, classic lines of the Lazio brand.
They are bijoux with sinuous volumes and pendants with a heart-shaped design, with details in cubic zirconia and crystals in soft nuances. The heart shape, for example, is used by the Caleida line. Sharada focuses on the briolette, teardrop cut of its colored crystals with cubic zirconia details. Finally, the Allegra collection focuses on light with a palette of colors which, also in this case, underline the heart-shaped cut.
The name Zoe is ancient: it derives from the Greek word which means the essence of life. Today, in addition to being a proper name often used in the Anglo-Saxon world, it also indicates a collection by Bottega Boccadamo, an Italian bijoux brand. The collection is presented for autumn / winter 2022 renewed, but always inspired by nature. For example, such as the use of hand-crafted silver leaves around crystal spheres. The collection also uses crystals with the color of aquamarine on burnished silver frames.
The Zoe collection also includes a yellow gold plated version. In this case the crystals used are matching and defined topaz color. A third version of the Zoe bijoux is instead made of rose gold plated silver. In this case, the crystals used have the color of amethyst. Finally, the collection also includes silver jewelry and natural pearls.
The magic circle is a ritual of very ancient origins, which had particular use in ceremonial magic, practiced especially between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and which returned to vogue in the nineteenth century. In short, the circle has always been a symbol, as well as a geometric shape. It can be an icon of perfection, an ideal representation of time, day and night, of the eternal return. And it is the protagonist of many jewelry collections, to which is now also added the Magic Circle line by Boccadamo.
The company specializing in bijoux and silver, has revisited the collection in its most essential lines, preserving in the new sets the geometric game of single or concentric circles, with a diamond-effect texture. The brightness of the Swarovski crystals, which blends with a minimal chic design, makes the Magic Circle line modern, with an urban style. The bijoux are made of bronze plated with pink or yellow gold, or with silver-colored rhodium plating.
There are not many women who would like to be part of a harem. On the other hand, there are many women who would like their own harem made up of jewels. Perhaps with this idea in mind Boccadamo, the Italian brand specializing in bijoux and jewelry, launched the Harem collection long ago, now renewed with new pieces. The bijoux line is enriched with new color combinations of Swarovski crystals, for a palette that ranges from the colors of aquamarine, amethyst, peach, to vintage rose and turquoise.
The sets, which include necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings, are distinguished by their characteristic floating and colorful design, thanks to the multi-colors of the faceted round crystals, which suggest oriental atmospheres, as the name of the collection also indicates. The bijoux are made of bronze, with rose gold plating. The prices are in line with those of the category: from about 34 to 70 euros for earrings, up to 94 euros for some necklaces.
Think of many symbols, icons, signs: in short, emblems, and turn them into an affordable jewelry collection. It is called Emblema, in fact, the collection by Boccadamo, a brand that specializes in silver jewelry. The Emblema collection collects symbols and brings them together: for example, there are the Egyptian god of Horus eye, the geometric sacredness of the flower of life, the balance of the wind rose. Boccadamo bijoux are made using particularly trendy coarse link chains, to which are added, as pendants, elements with the icons mentioned, with the addition of details in Swarovski crystals and pearls.
The set is available with a rhodium-plated or rose gold and yellow gold plated finish. Bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings are offered in different versions, with a vaguely gipsy style. Even the chains to which the pendants join are available with rings of different lengths, interspersed with solid metal elements.
Silver, also golden, and glitter: the new Boccadamo collection uses these two simple elements to make the new jewels. But not only: there is also everything else, that is, the design and shape of the jewelry. In fact, the brand has chosen green, the environment and the woods as its theme. Boccadamo’s proposed collection for spring 2020 is called Nature.
As a result, the jewels take the form of leaves that are apparently delicate, but extremely robust, with sinuous and elegant shapes. Furthermore, within the collection, different sets are proposed, which almost constitute separate stylistic worlds: necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings can therefore be jewels composed with decorated leaves and proposed with different colors. For example, jewels can have rose gold, yellow gold plating or rhodium plating and sometimes be enriched with a glitter pavé. A curiosity: the shape of the leaves used for the collection recalls those of the oak tree.
The rustling of a stream, the creaking of dry twigs, the rustling of leaves: there are many voices in the woods, recalls Boccadamo, an Italian brand specializing in silver jewelry. In the Voci del Bosco collection there are jewels-sculptures in which there look squirrels, leaves and acorns that take the form of necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets. In addition, as if they were berries, on the jewels there are pearls in strategic points.
The jewels have an aspect made ancient thanks to the use of burnished silver. In addition, the jewels are colored through real brushstrokes, handmade with micro painting: an innovative technique that allows you to work silver like a canvas, with realistic shades and meticulous details. In some elements the silver is rose gold plated, with an interesting contrast between the two different colors of the same metal. Prices: the necklace costs around 670 euros, the earrings 320 euros, the ring 94 euros, while the bracelet 280 euros.
Boccadamo launches Bottega Boccadamo, a brand for handcrafted silver jewelery ♦
Boccadamo doubles. The quality silver jewelry brand launches Bottega Boccadamo, a line of jewelry that enhances craftsmanship. The idea is to be inspired by the classical world, to the canons of the Renaissance for beauty is perfection, beauty, harmony of proportions. And with the aim of introducing a sensual chic brand.
Bottega Boccadamo is a personal return to my origins. To my first love, to my true great passion. And the origins refer to the primordial, to what it is, because it has always been.
Tonino Boccadamo
The fervent imagination of the founder, Tonino Boccadamo, also chose a logo that recalls classicism: a stylization of the goddess Minerva, an ancient Roman divinity who, among other things, was the protector of the artisans. After all, Boccadamo is based in Lazio, the region where Rome is located.
Guidelines for the jewels are the attention to detail and the precision with which the burnished silver is worked, which is transformed into sculpture-jewelry, which reproduce nature in detail, thanks to the use of the lost wax casting technique. Another particular aspect of jewels is the use of color. The characteristic antiqued appearance of burnished silver acquires a chromatic touch through real brushstrokes, also made by hand, with micro painting, an innovative technique that allows you to work silver like a canvas, with realistic shades and meticulous details. Another novelty is the use together of burnished silver and rose gold plated in the same jewel, with two different colors of the same metal. Here, for example, is the Lilium line, which obviously has the flower as its subject, with the additional touch of natural pearls and hand-painted color.
Boccadamo arrives in China with two stores and a distribution agreement ♦
Boccadamo, a silver bijoux brand, goes all the way to China. Tonino Boccadamo’s company took its first steps into the Chinese market by signing an important agreement with the distribution company Omeia.
After the pilot project of the showroom trade in Shenzhen, a city near Hong Kong, Boccadamo celebrated the inauguration of two single-brand stores. The first is located inside the International Plaza of the city of Wuhan, a commercial center in Central China.

To the two store openings in China, there are also two flagship stores in the Philippines: within the SM City North Edsa, in Quezon City, and in the Venice Grand Canal Mall of Taguig City.
I was 18, it was 1978 when, out of passion and spirit of adventure, I began to make my first creations. I never thought of becoming what I am today. But I dreamed and, as they say, sometimes dreams come true. Today I can share with everyone one of the most beautiful and important dreams of my life: the name Boccadamo that is affirmed in the world.
