Broggian

Mimi without borders




The Broggian family has a tradition in jewelry that dates back to the 1950s. The name of the group, Broggian Milano, indicates the city of departure, although the business has moved over the years to a few kilometers away, in Gallarate (Varese, Italy). In addition to the main brand, the family business has given birth to Mimì, another brand with a younger target. Ilaria and Marco Broggian, second generation of the family, take care of Mimì. The proposed jewels are colorful, imaginative, suitable for those who love a style without borders. They are made of silver, or 9 carat gold, together with semi-precious stones such as chrysoprase or topaz, but also with hydrothermal, ie synthetic, gemstones, a choice that allows them to maintain an affordable price.

Scent of a DDonna




If one woman is not enough, there is DDonna (donna means woman in italian language). With two “D” is better, they thought 20 years ago in the Paduan company founded in the late 1960s by Ruggero Broggian. The double letter D has several meanings, such as wishes, diamonds, gift, but others could be added. In any case, the brand’s catalog has been enriched over time, always following this philosophy. The elements are the classic ones of quality jewelry: gold, precious stones, pearls. The style in combining them, however, is different.

Just look at these images, which summarize the production of the brand, to evaluate the path taken by Broggian. And to say that the history of the company, now half a century ago, was simply that of Morellato’s supplier. The passion for jewelry was born after having met the charm of diamonds thanks to a trader from Antwerp. From the discovery of the beauty of stones to designer jewelery, with a large number of unique pieces of high jewelery: destiny is sometimes unpredictable.

In Milan, the art of jewelry on exhibition

If you are near Milan, maybe to visit the Expo, do not miss the exhibition called Gioiello – arte e nutrimento dell’anima (Jewel – art and food of the soul). It is organized from the Goldsmiths’ Club Italy (Thursday, June 25 – Monday, July 27) at the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan. The jewels are placed in their natural environment, the artistic one: on display are those of the Renaissance workshops, up to contemporary pieces. Some names admitted between the boards and the famous portrait of the lady by Pollaiolo: Broggian, Caesars and Rinaldi, Chantecler, Fope, Forevemark, Enzo Liverino, Vendorafa Lombardi and Vhernier. Signatures of jewelery that expose all together and in a museum, valuable pieces of their collections, a sign of the link between passion and craftsmanship, trade capacity and aesthetic sense. On the other hand, in the Italian jewelery it has developed in parallel with the evolution of classical art, one of the paintings and sculptures. Side note: the relationship of affinity and common research that links the Goldsmiths’ Club Italy and the Museo Poldi Pezzoli, was evidenced by the support of the Club for the restoration of two precious enamels limosini, now restored to its splendor: a Peace with ‘Adoption of a child and Peace with the Pietà, both of 1500.
