Via Orefici was founded by Italian goldsmith Antonella Rossi, whose experience in fine jewelry began in Genoa, Italy. Growing up surrounded by the Italian goldsmith tradition, Antonella trained in her father's workshop in Genoa's historic goldsmith district and later took over the family's jewelry boutique.
This experience deepened her appreciation for fine craftsmanship, beautiful materials, and the art of jewelry design, helping develop the aesthetic sensibility that guides Via Orefici today. The brand takes its name from Via Orefici, Genoa's historic Goldsmiths' Street.
Having made the United States her home many years ago, Antonella founded Via Orefici to bring the beauty of Italian handcrafted fine jewelry to women in America. Today, she creates the Via Orefici collection through original designs, collaborations with skilled Italian artisans, and carefully selected pieces that reflect her personal aesthetic vision.
Crafted entirely in Italy, Via Orefici jewelry reflects a tradition of skilled craftsmanship, an appreciation for beautiful materials, and a distinctly Italian philosophy: beauty belongs in everyday life, and fine jewelry is meant to be worn and enjoyed.
