The Story

- Gold plated brass
- Hand Made in Montespertoli, Italy (near Florence)
This extraordinary piece was created by Italian jewelry, Dario Macallè, and his son, Matteo. The Macallè family has had many years experience with metal fusion and wax casting. The family tradition was started way back in the 1950’s by Matteo’s grandfather. Their artisan laboratory specializes in the production of all kinds of brass and silver dress jewelry and accessories. The passing of the years has not diminished the passion with which the Macallè family works. Each piece they create is an original, and no two pieces of jewelry are alike.
