Angelo Leonardi – Founder of Nardieleo Jewelry

Every time I start designing a new model I try to intertwine soft lines with captivating curves, vertically slenderizing the design of the setting. I do this to capture the light and to best highlight the brightness and brilliance that each gem possesses.

Because every gem contains a story within itself STRAORDINARIA.

It spent millennia before being discovered, extracted and cut to become that masterpiece of synthesis between natural beauty and man's ability to shape it to the best to the point of becoming that little masterpiece that today you find set in the jewels that are displayed in jewelry stores.

For me, this story deserves to be told through a small sculpture, the jewel, which thus becomes the right complement on which to insert the gem, highlighting all its beauty to the fullest.

Because the gems are the protagonists of our jewels and with them there are You with your taste and your search for elegance and beauty. I am only an interpreter… or rather I try to be a tailor who tries to sew together the light of the gems with the elegance of fashions to create for you precious clothes to wear on all occasions.

For us in the factory, respect for tradition means following all the traditional processes of the Valenza goldsmith school, without giving up the advantages of technology. I still like to draw MY models by hand, but this does not mean I will give up designing some of them using the computer.

But the real protagonists of my story are my first craftsman and mentor and the staff of collaborators with many years of experience who are responsible for the technical part (modeling and production) and who still work with traditional methods, from the modeling of the raw gold sheet to the setting of the gems. It is thanks to THEIR EXPERIENCE AND METICULOUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL that I AM ABLE to guarantee the quality of MY jewels, delivering a product that lives up to your expectations.

The diamonds, sapphires, as well as the emeralds or rubies, and also the pearls and all the precious gems used in our jewels have been selected and purchased after a strict quality check by our staff of gemologists who travel throughout the year to search for the most beautiful gems for you on the international markets.
