Nardi, the Jeweller of Venice

In order to create master pieces, Guilio Nardi found inspiration in the exotisme of Venise.
His jewels were worn by Hollywood celebrities and royalties such as Grace Kelly or Elizabeth Taylor.
Due to his creativity and his fine quality of craftsmanship his jewels are highly-cherished and collected.
