Our artisans Cristina and Pierluigi of Venice have a love story as beautiful and unique as the jewelry they create together. This pair met at a baptism thirty years ago, where their friends had selected Cristina as the godmother and Pierluigi as the godfather. It was love at first sight, and they were married two months after they first met. Three decades later, they now have two grown children, a thriving jewelry business, and a lifetime of love to reflect on together. The illusion heart pendants they create one at a time in their studio would make brilliant declarations of love for your Valentines!

Even this sweet photograph doesn’t do this pair justice! Cristina and Pierluigi are still as in love as the day they met, and gush, giggle, and blush over one another to this day.
