Penko bottega orafa artigiana

Master goldsmith Paolo Penko, in his workshop in the heart of Florence, just a few steps from the Duomo, together with his wife Beatrice - an expert in gemology - and their son Alessandro, creates unique jewellery, made entirely by hand, according to the ancient techniques of the Florentine goldsmith tradition.

Unique and recognisable, the Penko style succeeds in harmoniously interweaving the beauty and quality of the material with the fascination of references to forms and symbols of Florentine painting and architecture.

A Paolo Penko object is not a simple piece of jewellery, but a harmonious union between past and present, between tradition and innovation, between creativity and know-how and, above all, it is capable of telling a story, of conveying a message and a content, merging it with a strongly glamorous soul.

Unique works created with the ancient techniques of the Florentine goldsmith's art. Creations born to satisfy the desires of an increasingly international clientele.

Jewellery that draws inspiration from the most ancient and precious soul of the city of Florence with its small and large geometries, spirals, volutes, friezes and all those shapes and lines of architecture and art that made Florence unique during the Renaissance and that still reflect their unchanged beauty today.

All the stages in the making of a piece of jewellery begin with the scrupulous choice of stones, their cut and colour shade, and then move on to shaping the precious metals using ancient gestures and techniques such as cuttlefish bone fusion, agemina, niello, cesoro and Florentine penkato. Techniques, still alive in our workshop, through which jewellery, silverware and works of sacred art come to life. Unique creations, also of innovative design but reflecting centuries of history and tradition.
