Did you see that our new gift box just came out?

Here it is, in all its glory:

Do you like it? We thought that those who receive a gift, or who want to give it, deserved something more than our simple packaging... Now you have a nice and zero-sbatty solution!

How to get it?

It's very simple: add the jewels you bought for yourself and the jewel you chose to give as a gift to your cart, an amaranth window will open on the right or in the center of the screen that summarizes your purchases. At the bottom you will find the " add gift box " button, by clicking you will add a gift box worth €3 to your cart. Add as many gift boxes as there are items you want to wrap , just press "+" to increase the number and update the cart (the update button is at the bottom left!).

For example, if you have purchased 3 jewels for yourself and only one to give as a gift, you will find an empty space to write which jewel is to be wrapped and if you want the text for the gift card, you can write something like: "The gift box is for the necklace with stars, I would like to write on the card "Happy Birthday Marika!" or "I ask to wrap only the earrings with heart"

Where did we find it?

You should know that we searched far and wide for the perfect packaging, because it had to meet all our requirements: display our logo, have our colors, be elegant but free of plastic . No materials that come from the other side of the world. Preferably made by local artisans .

And so it was: two artisans welcomed us into their workshop and we immediately understood that we were in the right place. We chose a velvet bag prepared by hand and personalized with hot stamping.

Fulvio and Massimo have been making pencil cases by hand since 1990 in their laboratory “ Arezzo Astucci ”. In truth, says Fulvio, today the laboratory belongs to my son Luca because I am about to retire!

In the 90s a goldsmith asked them where they could find some packaging, they thought it would be a good idea to buy a sewing machine, a printer and try to make them. It was a great idea: now the machines have increased and the offer has grown. They no longer make just jewelry cases but also for watches, key rings, perfumes, wines, wedding favors. They work a lot in Italy and export a little to France, using velvet, satin, organza, cotton, linen, Sky, microfiber, felt and jeans fabric. Needless to say, their fabrics are completely Made In Italy and have CE and REACH certifications. Which means that they are hypoallergenic fabrics , that they do not contain traces of nickel and that they are made according to European production protocols .

Their headquarters have always been in Marciano, in Val di Chiana, the valley of Chianina meat and pici all'aglione... The right place to cultivate excellence!

And the normal packaging, the one without gift wrapping?

To protect your jewelry during shipping, we use shipping boxes and cases made of FSC® certified natural raw cardboard with water-based glue.

All our standard packaging is produced in a facility with minimal environmental impact and low CO2 emissions from transportation.

Each cardboard package contains both the eco-label and the FSC® label, we do this to inform you about our concrete choices for environmental protection.

If you want to help us, recycle the little boxes you received and reuse them until they are worn out, they could be useful to organize pens and pencils, to hide the evil judgments of people who don't know you or to collect small objects that always get lost, like the damned hairpins.

Wait, what does FSC® mean?

The FSC® brand identifies products from forests managed correctly and responsibly according to rigorous environmental, social and economic standards . We rely on FSC® because it guarantees adequate training, equipment and wages for all foresters and because it protects animal and plant life.
