Itali Lambertini Jewelry - About the Work

Here at Itali Lambertini our goal is to create a lifestyle, both for ourselves and for you. When we are in love with our process then you are in love with the results. When you wear our jewelry you feel connected with your past and the glorious civilizations that came before us: Ancient Greece, Mesopotamia, and Etruscan. Our work doesn't cater to the fads of today but instead to the enduring legacy of our ancestors. Although platinum is a more modern discovery it lends itself perfectly to our customers who prefer a white metal.

We are proud to use 100% post-consumer recycled 18k and 22k gold and platinum. Coupled with bright colorful stones, they create the perfect blend of ancient and modern art. Both are superior in beauty and retain their value over time.

We utilize ancient time-tested techniques for achieving this:

repousage is hollow forming pieces in a bed of pitch. The pitch provides the support necessary for the metal as it is gently hammered to create a three-dimensional effect.
chasing is the following of the concave work in repousage with punches and engraving tools to increase the detail of the piece.
hand forging is working with the metal, hot or cold, with hammers.
coining/pressing is used the way the ancient Greeks made their coins in 500bc. This technique creates a highly detailed relief image on the jewelry which would be unobtainable any other way.

But most importantly the goal is to make you, our customer, overwhelmed, even ecstatic!
