Milan-born Cesare De Vecchi followed in the family tradition by becoming a goldsmith and jeweller.<\/p>\n
Having trained during the difficult years of post-war Italy, he began to ply his trade at his father’s workshop. Over time, he developed a comprehensive mastery of all of the phases in the processing of a piece of jewellery: from the initial concept to the details of the execution. It is difficult to define whether his creations are objects of high craftsmanship or bona fide works of art; what is certain is that they are the fruit of a time-honoured understanding and an extraordinary level of precision.<\/p>\n
Always in synch with current trends, De Vecchi has managed to develop a unique, inimitable style, characterised by great originality, ranging confidently from more classical stylistic features to forms typical of Art D\u00e9co and Art Nouveau, even throwing himself wholeheartedly into avant-garde designs.<\/p>\n
Hard-headed and determined, he has worked as a goldsmith for more than fifty years, promoting both in Italy and overseas his unique pieces as the epitome of the very best in Italian manufacturing.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” class=”no-margin” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][page_submenu alignment=”center” sticky=”true” bg_color=”#ffffff”][page_link link_url=”#family-tradition” title=”A family tradition” id=”1499548152-1-41″ tab_id=”1499548222569-9″] [\/page_link][page_link title=”D\u00e9co and Art Nouveau” id=”1499548404671-0-8″ tab_id=”1499548404674-2″ link_url=”#deco-art-nouveau”][\/page_link][page_link title=”The artistic avant-garde” id=”1499548452153-0-3″ tab_id=”1499548452155-0″ link_url=”#artistic-avant-garde”][\/page_link][page_link title=” How a jewel is born” id=”1499548483103-0-10″ tab_id=”1499548483105-6″ link_url=”#how-a-jewel-is-born”][\/page_link][\/page_submenu][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”35″ id=”family-tradition” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_text_separator title=”A family tradition”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”1065″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”1067″ alignment=”right” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” class=”no-margin” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]The De Vecchi jewellery workshop was established in 1945 by\u00a0Giuseppe De Vecchi<\/b>, who \u2013 starting out when he was just a boy – had served apprenticeships in the most prestigious Milanese workshops, learning all about the process of making and setting jewels whilst attending the School of Arts & Crafts and Design at the Cimabue Academy.<\/p>\n
Located at first in Via Bigli, in 1954 the workshop was transferred to No. 8, Via Monte Napoleone, where it has remained ever since.<\/p>\n
Cesare De Vecchi\u2019s debut in the world of jewellery came in the Fifties. It was around the time of the move to the new premises that Cesare – having, like his father before him, completed his own apprenticeships at some of the most renowned Milanese goldsmiths – started to drop in, occasionally at first, on his father\u2019s workshop.<\/p>\n
Following the end of his schooling, in the early 1970s, Cesare decided to work for his father on a full-time basis and became increasingly passionate about \u2013 and committed to \u2013 the art of jewellery making. During this period, he would often visit other workshops to develop his familiarity with the myriad techniques involved in the production of high-quality jewellery.<\/p>\n
Cesare De Vecchi\u2019s brooches are one of the company\u2019s most stylish lines \u2013 traditional brooch designs are reinterpreted in a modern key to make them suitable for wearing every day, adding more than a touch of glamour to any ensemble.<\/p>\n

That produces a number of precious objects that go perfectly together with the lapels of artificially faded man jackets, or brooches to decorate a casual suit or dress or even a tuxedo, or cuff-links and rings, or bracelets and wristwatches indeed for a man, shameless and perfectly conscious of his fascination, but that even a lady enjoys to wear.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”35″ id=”how-a-jewel-is-born” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_text_separator title=” How a jewel is born”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”1077″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”1079″ alignment=”right” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” class=”no-margin” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]The secrets of the excellence of the lines “Avanguardie” and “Between Archaic and Mythological”<\/strong><\/p>\n Cesare De Vecchi’s jewel-accessory design comes from a free interpretation of drawings and sculptures by famous artists or historical periods to which he wants to pay homage.

The production chain is executed in Italy and, in some special cases, with the collaboration of external operators but with the supervision of the Master.

\nDuring the various machining steps, great attention is paid to the assembling of the elements and their functionality so that with the prototype (model) realized, you can prepare the mold, taking also into account a serial production of a high level of the product. This sometimes involves the preparation of 2\/3 molds for one piece. All the interventions are manual and of excellence.<\/p>\n
\nWhat distinguishes the brand Cesare De Vecchi, both in design and in the preparation and execution of the accessory, is the ductility of the wide proposal dedicated to women and men and the experience of more than 60 years in jewellery processing in platinum and high-grade gold.<\/p>\n
