18-KARAT GOLD
We exclusively work with 18-karat solid gold, the finest high-quality option for luxury jewelry crafted to endure for a lifetime. The quality of gold jewelry is determined by its purity and is measured in karats. 18-karat gold is composed of 75% pure gold and 25% alloy metals, resulting in a stunning color and texture, and it holds greater value compared to lower-karat gold. By using reclaimed and refined gold, we reduce the demand for newly mined gold.
ITALIAN ARTISAN JEWELRY
Via Orefici Jewelry is handmade by skilled, independent artisans in Italy using traditional goldsmith techniques. Inspired by gold's beauty, malleability, and sensuality, our designs are infused with a creative edge and a deep appreciation for Nature's most precious metal and beautiful gemstones. Our artisan jewelry is crafted in limited quantities, setting it apart from mass-produced jewelry. Our goal is to prioritize meticulous attention to detail and create pieces that represent a harmonious blend of tradition, creativity, and quality.
