Jewelry: Italy, Switzerland, gems from elsewhere

French manufacturing benefits from a global aura, but it must be recognized that our two neighbors from across the Alps have also been able to develop remarkable expertise and know-how.


Contrary to what one might think, the largest jewelry factory in Europe, to this day, is not located in France… but in Italy, in Valenza, a major center of precious metalwork since the Renaissance.

It is a 14,000 m2 black cube, modern and majestic, built in 2017 by Bulgari, and quickly enlarged to absorb the spectacular growth of the LVMH group brand.

Here, she manufactures her small and medium jewelry lines (including her famous B.Zero1 ring mounted like a spring), while high jewelry pieces are made in Rome.

Continuing the tour of Europe, there are also many units in Switzerland, around Geneva.

They have grown on the fringes of watchmaking manufactures, driven by Swiss expertise and culture for meticulous know-how.
