Filippo Russo
Milan — since 1900
Among all the things that man possesses, and not only among gems, the diamond has the greatest value.
Pliny the ElderNaturalis Historia, 1st century
The beauty of a gem lies not in its substance, but in the light that passes through it.
Anselmus de BoodtGemmarum et lapidum historia, 1609
Rings
A ring is the one piece its wearer looks at every day: the setting counts as much as the stone.
Necklaces
A diamond necklace is judged on the neck, not on velvet: the light we are after is the light of the face it is meant for.
Earrings
These are the pieces that move: an earring lives on light that shifts with every step.
Bracelets
The bracelet is the jewel of gesture: it shows when the hand does the talking.
High jewellery
A piece is judged on the person wearing it: in the window you see the stone, on the neck or the hand you see the jewel.
Not everything is on show.
The rest we find for you.
Or let us talk it over
