Take 20 meters of gold wire and weave it until it becomes a bracelet of just 20 cm. This is what is capable of making Milano Jewels, a brand that, as you might guess, has its roots in Milan. Precisely in via Cannobio. And Cannobio8 is the company formed in 2010 on the initiative of the brothers Andrea and Alberto Lattuada, third generation of goldsmiths in Milan. Three years ago, motivated by the desire to expand the supply of Cannobio8, the two have found a historical company’s know-how and precision instruments to carry out these pieces of jewelery (bijoux? accessories?) that are made of gold jersey . The next step was the first collection Knit. The construction technique is a kind of secret passed down from master to student that has lasted since 1936. The gold is hand-woven, with no internal welding, with skills (and patience). The result is a thick mesh, compact and flexible. A classic product of the imagination made in Italy. In addition to the collections Knit, young designers in Milan Jewels have prepared other collections. Those of 2015 are also using diamonds with amethysts and smoky quartz, bracelets with clasps and pavé diamonds. Matilde de Bounvilles
