Mario is a third generation master jeweler from Naples, Italy. He began his trade in a small traditional workshop in Napoli, in the heart of Quartieri Spagnoli. Moved to the U.S. and is now centered in Downtown Los Angeles, where for 20 years he has earned and built his reputation and trust from many customers from all over the nation. His interest for the arts developed naturally by living with surroundings of old rural monuments and historical architecture in Italy.
This has influenced his fine work where he personally creates unique pieces all done by hand through old world techniques. The key concept behind Mario's work. Mario believes everything handmade resonates warmth and emotion. That hard work is put towards a unique piece that cannot be replicated. Today's world consists of cold machines programming and copying designs lacking individuality.
However, a handmade piece is guaranteed to be one of a kind. Every microscopic divot, bend, twist, and placement to create such art is tailored to the customer.
