Masini Designer Jewelry

Fashion Jewelry: Rings

Carlo Masini established his business in 1946, right after the end of World War II, in a typical artisan workshop near the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy. Specializing in handcrafted sterling silver jewelry according to the finest Florentine traditions, Masini also had a strong passion in exploring new designs and innovative material combinations. In 1959, the firm moved and gradually developed, using the most advanced techniques while always remaining faithful to their classic Italian craftsmanship roots. They use the finest Italian Sterling Silver, which is rhodium plated, making the silver tarnish free.

Masini was the first artisan in Italy to combine sterling silver and crystal in a series of original, exquisitely made pieces – an experiment that gave Carlo Masini success far beyond what he ever hoped for. The fusion of contemporary design with their traditional artisan roots is what really makes Masini jewelry so exciting. Each piece has their unique gold logo worked into the silver, so it is easy to spot the real thing. The Masini hallmark "197 Fl" signifies its origin as one of the oldest silver manufacturers in the Florence region.
