“This simple yet sophisticated piece holds a place in jewelry history by virtue of its cultural importance and 21st century design, rarity and preciousness.”
THE SASSI STORY
Sassi means “stones” in Italian, and our story begins with one: an aquamarine kept for years in Renilde’s jewellery case. She had bought the gem for Hannah, who was curious about her birthstone. As Hannah’s eighteenth birthday approached, Renilde designed a necklace especially for her, drawing upon the structure of an ancient Roman necklace and translating it into a contemporary form.
That first jewel became the beginning of Sassi.
“We work in small numbers and develop our collections slowly. Time allows an idea to mature, a gemstone to be cut specifically for a design, and a piece to be made as we intended it.
Our jewellery is made by highly skilled artisans, using techniques that rely on the knowledge and precision of the hand. We believe in treating with respect everyone whose work contributes to a Sassi jewel, from the people who mine and cut our gemstones to the artisans who bring each piece to life.”
