Franco Daverio

“Franco Daverio’s sources are rooted in the Italian twentieth century, in that tradition of sculpture that looked to art history as the source of narrative themes” Franco Daverio, Works ed. Mazzotta 1995

This premise by Fausto Melotti helps us open our eyes to the “Daverio tradition,” a vocation for art and beauty that began in the early decades of the 20th century through the impetuous artistic vein of Franco, who from childhood expressed his inner and dreamlike world through the creation of instinctive and emotional images.

Luca Daverio

The creative legacy and family sculptural tradition shape Luca’s creations, leading him to pursue a career as a sculptor of jewels. After working along Franco in his atelier and learning the techniques of an ancient craft and the creative freedom of his father, since the early 1980s he has been creating innovative jewelry, handcrafted pieces defined by the unmistakable Daverio style.

Pablo Daverio

The new generation brings freshness and novelty. With the arrival of Pablo, the features of the collections—while remaining faithful to the company philosophy of expressive freedom—take on an even more innovative character, with unique lines and combinations always marked by originality, bringing new life to a tradition and a way of working accumulated over the years.

Jewelry as sculpture

Every creation begins with a line, a simple gesture that guided by inspired craftsmanship and artistic passion, evolves into a sculptural form. This story begins with Franco Daverio’s hands, an artist whose roots lie in the rich tradition of 20th century Italian craftsmanship and the culture of making. For Franco, true artistry could only be expressed through the skill of experienced hands. As early as the 1930s, he was handcrafting finely chiseled copper jewelry with a distinctive aesthetic: wearable sculptures that embodied both creativity and technical mastery.

The History

A story that began in the 1930s, when Franco Daverio created his first sculptural jewels, giving shape to a vision destined to endure through time.

Decade after decade, each creation preserves a fragment of this legacy: masterful craftsmanship, a relentless pursuit of beauty, and an artisanal tradition transmitted with passion from one generation to the next.

A visual and narrative journey where jewelry transcends ornament to become a true expression of art.
