In the panorama of fine jewellery, one of the most imaginative, ingenious, and appreciated brands is Palmiero Jewellery Design.

Started more than thirty years ago by artist extraordinaire, Carlo Palmiero, the Valenza-based company has since been designing unique and unusual creations for discriminating women around the world.

Palmiero jewellery communicates with the language of sculpture using the designer’s own personal vocabulary of precious stones, pearls, and gold. He shapes these materials and gives them life. “Jewellery must have certain very defi nite characteristics,” explains Carlos Palmiero. “It must have soft lines, sinuous and streamlined, yet it must also be wearable. It must be a harmonious blend of colours and stones.”

| Fiocchi |
Each year, Palmiero Jewellery Design creates numerous new models that join the others in a catalogue of timeless styles, projected into the future even before the future had been imagined. Among the latest additions is the new Fiocchi Collection. “During these times of global crisis, we decided to propose the theme of the bow, representing the Gift, a gesture that evokes love, warmth, and selfless giving,” says Palmiero. Whether in soft pink gold and diamonds or in cool white gold with contrasting black and white diamonds, the Fiocchi collection will delight the wearer.

| Arabesque |
Among the brand’s many other lines is the timeless Arabesque Collection, offering a play of transparency and lightness, with delicate graphic designs that appear to be embroidered on a shimmering sheet of silk and diamonds, creating delicate floral arabesques with a hidden inner light. Also evoking playful movement, these fanciful swirls of creativity provide balance, at times with symmetry, at times with asymmetry.

| Flower, Feathers and Fire |
The Nature-inspired collections of Flower, Feathers, and Fire have become classics in the world of fi ne jewellery. All Palmiero pieces are original since each piece is made with different combinations of stones, making them personal and unique.
A Palmiero jewel not only expresses shapes and colours, it transmits emotion. It frees the passion of its creator, its giver, and its wearer.
