PICCHIOTTI
Giuseppe Picchiotti made his first foray in the world of fine jewellery in 1967 when the Picchiotti atelier opened its doors in Valenza, Italy. He is above all a connoisseur of colour gemstones which are a trademark of the Picchiotti’s collections; customers often look for the ‘unmistakable colour accent’ that is not easy to find anywhere else. Picchiotti’s designs are traditionally inspired by classical lines and are characterised by the elegance of their style. Customers describe them as ‘timeless’, setting the guidelines for haute-couture Jewellery, transcending changing fashion styles and trends, and heirlooms to be passed on to generations.
To relish the legacy of sophistication, the Emerald and Diamond ‘Snake’ Ring (Lot 34) perfectly reflects Picchiotti's consistent standards of quality. As a result of a successful combination between classical and modern, the ring creates timeless works of art with world-class craftsmanship.
