The glorious discoveries of the Renaissance started with one wealthy Italian family. The House of Medici, rulers of Florence, invested considerable sums to support arts, literature, science and beauty, helping to enlighten humanity from the 15th century onward. But this fine Florentine family didn’t fund just anything. The Medicis got value for money, helping only the most serious and ambitious artists and thinkers to expand human knowledge.
The beautiful bangle you see here is inspired by this trendsetting family. Italian gold-covered sterling silver has been studded with sparkling gems and fashioned to resemble opulent brocade–– catching the light like trim on the sleeves of Medici nobility as they reach for a goblet of wine.
Like the Medicis we want value for the money, which is why we courted a group of artisans located in the heart of Tuscany. For over 40 years they have artfully infused classically created Etruscan pieces with a touch of avant-garde. Totally Medici. Absolutely elegant. And, perfectly priced. It’s downright enlightening.
