The key strength of the Italian jewelry manufacturing system comes from its ability to excel in manufacturing of both high and low value-added products. Another great and internationally recognized advantage of the Italian Jewelry Industry is its unparalleled heritage, that could be interpreted as the natural evolution of a cultural artistic and industrial path. This path is rooted in the past and is enriched by strong values. Today, even the most technological Italian product, conceals a secret aesthetic soul.

The genius loci (the pervading spirit of a place) of the Italian goldsmith industry has a special and distinctive feature: the production is concentrated in several districts such as Valenza, Vicenza, Arezzo and Torre del Greco/Naples.

Within these production areas the contextual know-how (all the non-codified knowledge and skills that develop in a territory, whereby different companies and the relevant social relation coexist) benefits from constant enrichment.
