Vennari Gioielli

This fine jewellery brand is the inheritance of a family of goldsmiths of long history and tradition. With each descendant, the brand has been renewed and modernized but had lost nothing of its prestige or quality and still projects an image of luxury and exclusivity. Probably the best place to find a very special piece!
