The Italian city of Valenza is known for its fine goldsmiths and jewellers, and among them par excellence is Manu & Cris Gaspari.
The story begins in the early 1960s when Nino Gaspari founded the family business under the name “Gaspari Jewellery & Co” in Valenza, Italy. For Nino, it was all about passion, art, and elegance. Today, under the leadership of his children, Manu and Cris, the story continues. “We inherited his bold spirit and his deep desire to celebrate the charm of a woman with the sparkle of stunning jewels,” muses Manu. “But we are taking the brand a step further by combining innovations in design with the classical traditions of craftsmanship and excellence that are inherent in the ‘Made in Italy’ label.”

“Our research into style has led to the creation of rare and exclusive jewellery,” continues Cris, “and our flair for excellence flows into each jewel that becomes a magical and charming masterpiece.” And, the magic of these jewels can be seen in such pieces as the white gold and diamond parure with purple titanium flowers and fancy yellow diamond centres, or the elaborate rings in rose or white gold set with black or white diamond pavé and rose-cut diamonds in the centre. Still in the magical realm, the brand’s white diamond and gold tiaras are like something out of a fairy tale and truly fit for a princess.

Manu & Cris Gaspari also loves colour, exemplified by its multi-coloured earrings in rose gold with white diamonds, rubies, and a rainbow of pink sapphires, amethysts, peridots, and brown diamonds, or its ring in rose gold, set with three large centre stones in yellow, blue, and pink sapphires surrounded by white diamond pavé and orange, pink, and blue sapphire pavé. On a more whimsical note, the brand is also known for its colourful butterflies and other natural forms, including snake-like bracelets and other fanciful creations.

“It makes us happy to give a woman the pleasure of wearing something original and unique, even tailor-made,” continues Manu. Clearly, women are giving themselves this pleasure, as Manu & Cris Gaspari jewellery is sold by some of the most prestigious stores in the world. Starting from Italy, it moved into markets in England, Spain, Austria, and Greece, followed by other countries in Europe, including Russia, and the Middle East. Manu & Cris Gaspari then set its sights on the New World, where it graces the displays in many fine stores in the United States and Mexico, as well as Latin America (notably Argentina and Brazil), where women appreciate the timeless quality of the brand’s high jewellery pieces.
At this year’s Couture Show at the Wynn Las Vegas, Manu & Cris Gaspari will again be unveiling its flair for excellence in the La Tour Ballroom, Booth 719.
