The surprising design of Paolo Costagli

Published on February 25, 2020

Not all jewelers have a page on Wikipedia: Paolo Costagli is part of this elite. But that’s not why we talk about it. Rather, the Italian designer and gemologist based in New York has the ability to continue to amaze even after many years of cutting-edge work, as we observed in his booth in the VicenzaOro Design Room.

Paolo Costagli has chosen the impervious path of difficult things. New geometries, unusual stones, surprising combinations: they are perhaps also the result of a certain exuberance, evidenced by his curriculum. Born in Florence 54 years ago, at 21 he moved to the United States and attended the Gemological Institute of America in Santa Monica, California. Graduated in gemology, he decided to put the teachings into practice. And he went to Muzo, Colombia where the most famous emerald mines are located.

Back in New York, in 1993 he started his business as a jeweler and a vintage pieces trade. Its inspiring gods, however, were designers such as René Boivin, Suzanne Belperron and Raymond Templier. With good results: in 2008 his Brillante bracelet was included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Arts and Design.

Stones with vivid colors, but also simple gold jewelery: the design of Paolo Costagli, from Florence to New York.

Florence, 1966: Paolo Costagli born of Venetian parents. New York, 2016:Paolo Costagli is awarded by InDesign Award for his Eternity collection. What happened in the meantime? Many things. The Italian designer has left Florence and moved to California, where he studied at the Gemological Institute of America. Not only. It decided to deepen their knowledge of the stones directly in the mines of Colombia.

The memories of the Renaissance Italian art combined with the experience expert gemologist has transformed Paolo Costagli in a jeweler designer based in New York that offers unique pieces that combine the two worlds: the colors of gems, that are searched with patience and dedication, more an architecture that surrounds precious stones. Peridot, citrines, amethysts, tourmalines, garnets, as well as diamonds and rubies, are the basis of its simple compositions, but unmistakable. His shop is in Medison Avenue and the prices of its jewels are in line with what you can expect. The capsule collection Eternity, for example, is composed of a series of rings with prices ranging from 6000 to $ 49,000. But the more simple jewelry lines, only in gold, have a much lower cost.
