Milan is one of the centers of European fashion and via Montenapoleone is one of the important fashionable streets in the very heart of Milan where every kind of luxury is concentrated. Speaking about luxury I mean first of all gorgeous jewellery items I had a chance to see,beautifully hidden behind the sparkling shop windows of the Sabbadini Jewellery Boutique on via Montenapoleone.
While entering the boutique you find yourself in the fascinating world of unique jewellery where every angle is literally “absorbed” with art. A sophisticated store is designed by Renzo Mongiardino, famous architect and theatre set designer of La Scala Opera House.
The shop has an oval plan with vaulted ceiling; on the floor a wonderful wood damier parquet; in the centre there are inlaid ebony Bees that are the Sabbadini’s emblem. The interior of the store is designed in a petrol green colour that associates with mystery, refinement, sophistication.
The Maison Sabbadini dates back to 1940 established in Milan by Bruno Sabbadini. Alberto Sabbadini, son of Bruno still owns and runs the company with his wife Stefania. Being a talented person, a widely-experienced stone dealer, having great ability to create exclusive jewellery items, maintaining italian traditions and excellent craftsmanship, he managed to bring up the brand not only on the national but also international level. Alberto Sabbadini has a particular approach dealing personally with clients.
Nowadays, his son Pierandrea, after a long experience in the USA is also involved in the family business: in every aspects of making jewellery from the sketch to finished product, supervising the quality of workmanship, selecting one by one unique rare gemstones. Highly skilled craftsmen painstakingly create complicated one-of-a-kind jewellery items of nonpareil magnificence with purest emeralds, dazzling white and fancy coloured diamonds, luscious rubies, deep sea sapphires, gorgeous Mediterranian corals, exquisite Persian turquoises.
For many years Sabbadini magnificent jewels were appreciated by Italian jetset but now the Maison has opened up to new markets which also recognize and are enchanted by the unique world of jewellery signed Sabbadini. Their high end jewellery adornments can be seen during shows in the most prestigious resorts worldwide. Thanks to a long years of experience and unique creativity, the company makes harmonious exquisite jewels, “one-off” pieces using such new materials as titanium, aluminium, ceramic, steel, rubber masterfully combined with sparkling diamonds of various cuts and shapes.
The emblem of the Maison Sabbadini “BEE” brooch -an iconic jewellery item, carefully assembled in invisible setting with all types of precious and semiprecious stones, bears witness of italian traditions, timeless passions and sensations.
