Quinta Gioielli - Venezia, Città Metropolitana di Venezia

Eb Daniels

This review is long, because it will take a long time to explain how fantastic the work of Quinta Gioielli is. But as a summary: Quinta Gioielli offers some of the most beautifully made and incredibly unique jewelry in the world. If you love Venice, Burano, beauty, art, or architecture, and especially if you love all five, I know that you will find something to love at Quinta Gioielli, and here is why:

While renowned especially for its lace, the lovely island of Burano, situated a few miles from the historic center of Venice, is also home to one of the most accomplished and talented jewelers operating today, Signor Fabio Quintavalle of Quinta Gioielli.

Signor Quintavalle, who has been honing his craft for decades, is an innovator in the field of gioielli architettonici, or “Architectural Jewelry,” and he captures the historical beauty and elegance of Venice’s facades and edifices in gold and silver. His masterpieces pay homage to and are inspired by structures like the colorful homes of his native Burano, the famous Rialto bridge, and of course, the delicate quatrefoil arches of the Venetian Gothic Style, and most closely associated with the serried colonnades of the Ducal Palace.

In our first communication, Signor Quintavalle covered all of the details of our order: he wanted to make sure that everything was exactly as we wanted it. He was never pushy or insistent, and worked with us to find the ring that was perfect for us.

Signor Quintavalle was especially careful to ensure a good fit. This detail is often overlooked by many jewelers, but as a dedicated craftsman Signor Quintavalle wanted to guarantee every detail. Using the information provided by us, Signor Quintavalle took my wife's usual ring measurements and made sure that they conformed to the exact weight, distribution, and make-up of the ring, to guarantee a perfect fit.

Production time was very efficient for our ring, especially considering the impeccable standards of workmanship that Signor Quintavalle achieved. Shipping was hassle-free, and Signor Quintavalle took care of every detail and kept us informed at every step of the process.

Suffice it to say, when the ring arrived, my wife was ecstatic. In fine gold, Signor Quintavalle had perfectly captured both the abiding strength and delicate beauty that the Ducal Palace represents, creating an ideal memento for someone who appreciates the beauty of Venice.

This ring has instantly become a beloved heirloom of our family, and we will treasure it forever. My wife has received countless compliments on it, both from people who recognize its connection to Venice and from those who simply think it is a lovely sight to behold.

But Signor Quintavalle was not finished yet! We soon acquired another gorgeous ring from him, this one featuring a unique pastiche of Venetian architecture, including elements of the city’s graceful arching buildings and its lovely palazzi.

While definitely a statement piece, this ring, in white enamel and silver, has actually proved almost as versatile as the more traditional gold ring. My wife especially enjoys all of the delightful little details, and the remarkable level of skill that Signor Quintavalle has shown in carefully shaping delicate posts, pointed windows, and curving frames. Artful and imaginative, this ring is also a testament to Signor Quintavalle’s remarkable skill and creativity.

If you are visiting the Veneto, and especially Burano, I guarantee that Signor Quintavalle’s masterpieces will be the perfect way to remember your trip. If you love the mystery and majesty of Venice, Signor Quintavalle’s works are the perfect way to commemorate that attraction and share it with the rest of the world. And finally, if you have any appreciation for beauty, art, and traditional craftsmanship, you will find them all in these exceptional pieces of jewelry.
