Maintaining tradition is important at Damiani; handwork is still the same as it was decades ago, and each piece is handmade with centuries-old skills and an accurate attention to detail. Every Damiani jewel is the most important expression of “Made in Italy” in high-end jewellery. Damiani is the only known jewellery company to have received as much as 18 “Diamonds International Awards”. Calderoni also won four of these awards, in 1960, 1977, 1978 and 1996. It also received many other prizes, including two Tahitian Pearl Trophies, one Haute Couture Design Award, one Vogue Joyas award and quite a number of entrepreneurial and communication prizes. The lightness and delicate flutter of a butterfly’s wings are the inspiration for the Butterfly collection. The butterflies are in white or yellow gold and enriched by white or black diamonds with coloured stones like emeralds, rubies and amethysts. Each butterfly can be used as a pendant, brooch or set onto a ring. Damiani’s iconic design par excellence for beautiful rings and large crosses. Belle Époque is inspired by the graphic design of cine film and, like the cinema, brings dreams and great feelings to life. As the only Italian jewellery company to design and produce jewels since its inception, the Damiani company was founded in 1924 in the heart of the goldsmith district of Valenza Po (North West Italy) by Enrico Grassi Damiani. Thanks to his skills as a goldsmith, Enrico quickly became the preferred supplier to important families and notables who asked him to create special and exquisite unique pieces. He soon began to supply the Italian royal family, the earls of Cavour, Gabriele d’Annunzio and Luigi Pirandello. Damiano Grassi Damiani, Enrico’s son, born in 1934, launched a serious industrial processes and thought of commercial expansions in the sixties. He promoted design research and technical innovation, the two roots of the company’s future. Damian jewels attracted more and more fame, thanks to a very revolutionary idea at the time: to guarantee the price to clients and to create catalogues of all the collections.
