1933
It all began in 1933 from the hands of Franco, who in that year carved his first pieces of jewelry.
“Franco Daverio’s sources are rooted in twentieth-century Italy, in that tradition of sculpture-making that knew how to look
to art history as a source of narrative themes” – this is how Fausto Melotti expressed himself about his work.
A vocation toward beauty that began in the early decades of the 1900s and continues with the same passion for three generations.
Art and craftsmanship, the tradition of centuries-old techniques combined with the innovation of the most modern technologies
characterize the production of the DAVERIO1933 brand.
Brooch chased in copper by Franco Daverio in 1933
At his early debut, Franco illustrated the prestigious cover of the magazine
“Il Milione” gallery where he exhibited some drawings also admired by Le Corbusier
who said “the most beautiful and interesting things of my journey, I have
recognized in the drawings of this young man.”
Wood sculpture, Franco Daverio
Franco sculpted his works transforming a manufactured item into a work of art,
jewelry and sculpture together without boundaries.
Luca began his goldsmith experience in his father’s workshop,
dedicating himself to creating always innovative and original jewelry pieces and crafting jewelry
with the unmistakable style that distinguishes them today.
Bracelet made in gold and diamonds chased by Luca Daverio
The collections transform from large pendants and slave bracelets like sculptures,
to objects more contained in size created and embellished with stones
and small friezes, chasing like embroidery.
Refined compositions of chiaroscuro with matte-glossy effects to characterize and enhance the new creations.
Along with influences and citations from our sculptural tradition, there appear
collections with minimal effect, necklaces and earrings with pearls
and small rough diamonds, jewelry with brilliant inserts set to provide contrast
and creations designed with textural materials like wood combined with the warmth of rose gold.
Ring from the “Pure Black” collection, Luca Daverio
A line is born with reinterpreted jewelry classics, settings
for original and unusual solitaire diamonds, new chromatic combinations
thanks to innovative finishes in gold coloring and the use
of black diamonds and fancy-color diamonds.
Ring from the “Ad Astra” collection, Pablo Daverio
The same art school characterizes all of Pablo’s creations, the third generation,
who inherits the inspiring principle by creating with originality and emotion
unique pieces produced in the company’s workshop.
Remaining faithful to the company philosophy of expressive freedom,
the features of the collections take on an even more innovative character by adding
freshness and novelty to the company. Unique lines and combinations always in the spirit
of originality, the use of stones with great sensitivity and delicacy bring
new life to our artistic tradition, not for marketing but for passion.
