A Prince among Masters

Posted at 1:18:00 PM in Chimento (6)

 

From Vicenza, the seat of Italy’s goldsmith tradition, rises Chimento. Founded by Adriano Chimento in 1964 and currently ran by the family’s next generation of jewelers, the name has become one of the most important brands in a country where gold metalwork has been a fine craft since ancient times. Chimento asserts its prominence in the jewelry world through its imaginative designs, classic styles, original shapes, innovative materials and the highest quality of craftsmanship in all its creations. One word could describe Chimento – passion. Each Chimento piece is created with passion. Chimento is not simply satisfied with creating beautiful pieces of jewelry. They have to be stunningly beautiful and pleasurable to wear as well. Take for instance Chimento’s amazing stretch of HD Silver Collection. HD Silver is an innovative alloy of superior quality, which is whiter and purer than sterling silver and also retains its beauty over time. The sheen of HD silver is an excellent mounting for the lustrous hues of precious stones and gems.
 
The collection carries the irresistible beauty that makes the Chimento treasured by women as well as men. Discover Chimento at Shreve & Co. in Palo Alto.

There's a Handsome Piece for Everybody

Posted at 10:15:15 AM in Chimento (6)

 

Chimento takes no conservative streak when it comes to designing elegant contemporary jewelry for the modern woman. As an all-Italian jewelry manufacturer established and now managed by two generations of Chimento goldsmiths, the brand honors tradition and timeless Italian elegance with its Classic and Tradition Collections. On the other hand, it plays on its innovative and playful side so easily expressed in the pieces of Chimento's Design Collection for women and Trendy Collection for men. Chimento is one of the very few jewelry makers that can boast of mastery in crafting men's jewels, since many jewelers consider serious jewelry shopping a woman's thing. Chimento's men collection is composed of precious metal jewelry created with clean and masculine lines. The women's collections are more elaborate and flowing with emotive expressions, mirroring the remarkable depth of her many-faceted emotional wellspring. Whether the jewel is for a loved one or for yourself, there is something just right from Chimento's various collections. Find the Chimento collections in Shreve & Co.'s jeweler's shop at Palo Alto.

The Alchemy in Chimento

Posted at 12:00:00 AM in Chimento (6)

 

Every piece exudes beauty and elegance coming from the innovative tradition deep in the soul of Chimento. Every piece is a hallmark for beauty; no weak link of some kind. This standard is almost impossible to achieve but Chimento has always been adamant to keep this their minimum. Since 1964, Chimento creativity and skill set allowed them to take avant-garde to another level. By paying tribute to the past with putting their own twist, Chimento produced pieces such as the Athena that come in the choice of white or black ceramic ring with rose gold and diamonds – a piece that beckons to the gods. Or the soothing medicine of the Quintessenza collection that comes with a white and rose gold necklace with topaz and diamonds, a white and rose gold ring with topaz, and a yellow gold ring, cognac quartz and diamonds – a combination of light and gold. Chimento is almost modern alchemy than grants the wearer with unexplainable feeling of being special.
