New life for Vendorafa, a historic company from Valenza which, after a fleeting passage under the wings of the LVMH group, was purchased by Gismondi 1754 in the spring. What changes for Vendorafa? The new ownership wants to enhance the historical legacy, which includes the designs, collections and stock of jewelery that have made the history of the brand. But, at the same time, the new creative director (as well as owner), entrusted to Massimo Gismondi, will try to enhance the characteristics of the production. An example is the Foglie Necklace, a deconstruction of the Magnolia collection, created by a team of expert goldsmiths with over 200 hours of work. It is composed of curved surfaces, skillfully hammered according to the typical aesthetic canons of Vendorafa and embellished with luminous accents given by rows of diamonds. It came in second place at the recent Couture Design Award in Las Vegas.

A good start, also considering that the USA, together with Japan, are one of the reference markets of the company, founded in Valenza (Alessandria) in 1951 which operates in the gold and jewelery sector, including on behalf of third parties. In the United States, for example, Vendorafa jewelry is distributed by large chains such as Saks or Neiman Marcus, but also in independent jewelry stores. Vendorafa’s new life integrates into the Gismondi 1754 group, which produces jewelery dedicated to the high-end market. Vendorafa, apart from some pieces such as the aforementioned Foglie necklace, instead offers jewelery intended for more everyday use, even if it is always jewelery that uses gold, diamonds and precious stones.

Gismondi 1754 buys Vendorafa

Gismondi 1754 buys the historic Vendorafa Lombardi from the Lvmh group. The company, active since 1951, had passed under the banner of the French group last year, with the transfer of Pendemonte to which Vendorafa belongs, by the private equity fund Equinox III Slp Sif. Now the French giant sees Vendorafa and some of the company’s assets. The trademark and annexes went to Gismondi 1754 for 608,000 euros.

Vendorafa was born as a jeweler with its own brand and, over the years, has also started the design and creation of exclusive lines for major international brands. With over 70 years of history, Vendorafa’s jewels are distinguished by their manual processes, such as hammering, engraving and embossing and are a symbol of Valencian craftsmanship exported all over the world. The operation will allow Gismondi 1754 to integrate the Vendorafa brand into the Group, which will maintain its identity, brand and commercial positioning on the market.

Vendorafa products are historically recognizable for the completely handcrafted processes that enhance the value of gold, its light and its aesthetic warmth. A very strong point of contact with Gismondi 1754, which for centuries has exalted the craftsmanship and Italian spirit of manufacturing, albeit in different types of jewellery: the Gismondi 1754 collections are more iconic and high-end, while more daily use and based on metalworking those of Vendorafa. On the market, therefore, the two brands will continue to represent their different image and clientele independently, but sharing the important production and commercial synergies.

The operation has a strong strategic value for the Gismondi 1754 Group. In addition to acquiring the total inheritance of the Valencian brand, with the designs, the historical collections, the stock of some iconic jewels and the production machinery, it will also carry on the large and recognized international presence of Vendorafa, with particular reference to the USA and Japan.

As far as the United States is concerned, the Valencia brand is present both in 30 qualified retailers, both in wholesale chains (Saks, Neiman Marcus), and in independent jewelers that sell primary luxury brands, such as Brigham, Louis Anthony, Diamond Genesis , A.Marek, Louis Anthony and many others. In Japan, Vendorafa is distributed by Unoaerre Japan, and this represents an opportunity for immediate development also for Gismondi 1754, which does not yet have a widespread presence in that market.

This operation has a double meaning in the growth path of our Group, which combines the industrial and commercial vision that we have in mind and on which to lay the foundations of our development. This represents the first of a series of acquisitions, between now and the medium term, aimed at strengthening the Group’s presence in the sector. An operation that also brings with it the sentiment and will to safeguard and give strength to SMEs, which are the true guardians of Made in Italy that the whole world envies us. I believe it is increasingly necessary to provide a space in which work ethics and respect for the individual find a vital environment in which to work and grow. With Vendorafa we give continuity and strength to an international brand; I was immediately struck by the common roots in our motto “handmade in Italy by Italians” which distinguishes us and with which we enhance Italian craftsmanship and high specialization in the goldsmith sector. We are truly proud to keep the essence of a brand like Vendorafa alive and bring it into our Group, which for seven generations has represented and defended the ethics, tradition and quality of manufacturing in our country.
Massimo Gismondi, CEO of Gismondi 1754

The operation of Gismondi 1754, the historic Genoese jewelery Maison, takes place after the announcement of the results for 2022, with a consolidated production value of 15.2 million euros (+52% compared to 2021), Ebitda (gross margin ) at 3 million (+213% compared to the previous year) and a consolidated net profit of 1.6 million, also showing a strong increase (+364%). Other data communicated by the company, listed on the Euronext Growth Milan list of Borsa Italiana, concern the consolidated shareholders’ equity at 11.0 million (+20%) and the net financial position at 3 million (debt compared to 290 thousand in 2021).

Lavorazione di gioielli nel laboratorio di Pedemonte Group

A large portion of Italian jewelery emigrates to France, to Paris. He doesn’t move the laboratories, but the property. Pedemonte Group, controlled by the Equinox III SLP SIF investment fund, was sold to the giant LVMH, which already has brands such as Bulgari, Tiffany, Chaumet, Fred and Repossi. The Pedemonte group is above all a third-party jewelery manufacturer, with offices in Italy (in Valenza and Valmadonna, in Piedmont) and France. But it also produces its own collections under the Vendorafa brand, internationally recognized as the flagship of Made in Italy since 1951 for its unique style and manufacturing excellence.

With this strategic acquisition, the LVMH group is further strengthened in Italy, continuing to support the ecosystem of companies that contribute to the success of our Houses. With Pedemonte, our Maisons will rely on a partner recognized for its savoir-faire, in order to support their growth and maintain their leadership in jewelry.
Toni Belloni, General Manager of LVMH

Now the purchase of Pedemonte will allow Lvmh to further increase its production capacity. The Pedemonte group was born in 2020 from the merger of several independent production laboratories and has conquered a prominent place in the high-end jewelry market. It employs 350 craftsmen and employees.

Among the great inventions of humanity we can count inventions such as the wheel, vaccines or nuclear energy. But without forgetting the buckle. Adjusting the width of a pair of trousers or a skirt is no less important than many other things and, Vendorafa Lombardi thought, is an invention that must be celebrated. The result is the Buckle collection, in gold, diamonds and rubies. The shape of rings, earrings and bracelets recalls, in a graceful and stylized way, the idea of two elements that are joined, in this case by a small diamond ring.

The Buckle collection is not the only novelty of the company from Valenza (Italy), which also participated in the last competition of the Couture Design Awards in Las Vegas with a bracelet that garnered many compliments.

Bracciale della collezione Genesi di Gismondi 1754

Many debuts, including two Italians, at Tefaf New York Fall, the prestigious fair of precious and antiques that this year, due to coronavirus, will be online. The two italian news are Gismondi 1754 and Vendorafa. The online fair organized by the European Fine Art Foundation (1-4 November plus a preview 30-31 October, 300 exhibitors) includes a large group of famous jewelers, such as Hong Kong artist-designer Wallace Chan, Hemmerle, Cindy Chao, Taffin, Otto Jakob. We talk about it in another article. But it’s also interesting see who the new jewelers are.

One of the novelties is represented by Gismondi 1454, which will present the Genesi collection, with jewels that are inspired by the helical spiral of the Nautilus shell. In fact, the Maison is from Genoa, a seaside city. The jewels, in fact, are inspired by the fossils seen by the Ceo Massimo Gismondi at the Natural History Museum. The jewels are composed of 18k rose gold strands that describe soft ellipses, paved with diamonds and topped and drop-shaped white ceramic with gold edges.

The other Italian brand debuting, the Maison of Valenza Vendorafa, offers its classic gold creations, such as the Onda ring. The jewel features a typical Vendorafa workmanship, with hammered yellow gold together with a polished finish band and a line of small diamonds on the edge.

Pod ring di Nicholas Liou con un diamante blu-verde e diamanti bianchi

From the East, however, the new entry is Nicholas Lieou, a high-end jewelry designer based in Hong Kong. We already saw her jewels last year in GemGèneve, but theis fair won’t be held this year. Nicholas Lieou started out as an apprentice for London-based jeweler Shaun Leane. And he was also design director for high-end bespoke jewelry for Tiffany & Co. He has recently launched a capsule collection in collaboration with Sotheby’s Diamonds: one of the jewels he presents is the Pod Ring, with a fancy cushion-cut diamond in color 4.40 carat bluish-green surrounded by a pavé of white diamonds on platinum.

Orecchini Pearl Raind di Tatiana Verstraeten

Finally, another new name for Tefaf is that of Tatiana Verstraeten, a Belgian designer who prefers jewels with long fringes, such as the earrings with a shower of pearls of the image on this page. Tatiana practiced at Chanel under the supervision of Karl Lagerfeld and acquired the secrets of French master craftsmen. A year ago she opened a showroom on Place Vendôme and, as if that were not enough, she allocated part of the proceeds from the sale of her fringed earrings to UN Women France, with the aim of promoting gender equality and the emancipation of women. women. Cate Blanchett and Eva Longoria, who bought her jewelry, appreciate it. Federico Graglia

The pebbles of Vendorafa

Pebbles. But precious: one of the novelties of Vendorafa Lombardi is the Pebbles collection, which consists of necklaces, bracelets and rings that want to remember, in form, the pebbles that are found near the sea, on beaches where there is no sand . Obviously the jewels do not use common stones, but semi-precious stones, such as malachite, but also mother of pearl. The style is the classic one of the Maison of Valenza: modern, but without exaggerating.

The history of Vendorafa, in fact, testifies to a search for classic shapes. The company was born 70 years ago on the initiative of Mario Lombardi and his brother Renzo. The company was called Lombardi Mario e f.llo, but in 1955 Mario Lombardi decided to encourage the internationalization of its products by founding the Vendorafa brand, together with other companies, including Gatti and Panelli and Garavelli and Bozzo, which remained associated with the brand until the eighties. A modern company, the first to have entrusted the project for the new headquarters to a great architect, Ignazio Gardella.

Bracciale in oro giallo con malachite e diamanti

In the 1970s, the production of Vendorafa Lombardi resumed the craftsmanship of embossing, hammering and engraving, a characteristic of the Maison’s production. But since 1980 the company has been working on two fronts: with its own collection it uses the Vendorafa brand, while for third party processing it is under the Lombardi brand. The company is run today by Daniela Lombardi with her husband Augusto Ungarelli, sole director, while Raffaella Lombardi takes care of the administrative and financial area.

Tribal dance for Vendorafa

Vendorafa, bracciale della collezione Tribal

The Tribal collection by Vendorafa: hammered gold together with precious wood elements ♦ ︎

Just a century ago, Picasso, Braque and a large group of artists working in Paris, were fascinated by the art of primitive populations. The wooden sculptures with simple and strong features turned into cubist canvases. A century later the tribal art continues to fascinate the West and sometimes inspires the most disparate objects. For example, jewels.

Primitive art is the idea that gave life to the Tribal collection by Vendorafa.

Anello in oro e Bloodwood della collezione Tribal

The company of Valenza led by Augusto Ungarelli offers jewelry with the classic craftsmanship of gold that characterizes Vendorafa, but with the addition of elements in precious wood. It is, to be precise, a very resistant wood that is commonly called Bloodwood, a variety of eucalyptus found in Central America. The hammered gold contrasts with the dark satin wood rings. The shape of the jewels, moreover, is played on the classic geometric shape of the circle, a recurrent element not only in primitive sculptures, but also in tribal tattoos. Lavinia Andorno

Orecchini martellati in oro giallo 18 kt e diamanti

The hammered spheres of the Boules collection by Vendorafa: gold with details in diamonds and precious stones ♦ ︎
The sphere is a volume defined as a geometric solid generated by the rotation of a semicircle around its diameter. But this cold definition hides a whole world of symbologies: the sphere resting on the hands of kings and emperors, indicating their power over the world, a symbol of perfection. But also a tool to play, to decorate a Christmas tree and, as all jewelry lovers know, also a perfect volume used for rings, necklaces or bracelets. Now the spheres used by jewelers are joined by the Boules collection by Vendorafa Lombardi, a company active in Valenza since 1951 and specialized in manual processing such as hammering, engraving and embossing. The Boules collection, in fact, is made with hammered gold balls, which recall the effect of blown glass bubbles. To these gold spheres are added details with pavé diamonds, or sapphires, black diamonds and emeralds. The collection consists of bracelets, choker, earrings and rings. Giulia Netrese

This does not mean, however, that it is not appreciated in the Peninsula that faces the Mediterranean.
For 2017 the novelty of Vendorafa has the name of a snake: Anaconda.

It is the largest and longest reptile that exists in nature, while in the precious version of the brand, presented at the Las Vegas Couture, is smaller in size, and you can wear it without any problems. The jewelery surface of the Anaconda collection has a pattern that mimics that of snake skin, but in addition with some small diamonds embedded. The gold surface, handmade worked, is also one of the characteristics of the company’s production since its founding in 1951. Hammering, engraving and embossing are the characteristic signs of its jewels, as in the case of the Bamboo collection, but also of other lines where colored stones are used, as in the jewels of the Floral or Brooches series.
