When you see the beautiful Italian charms and bracelets designed by Zoppini
Firenze, you will understand why the Fiorentini (residents of Florence, Italy)
say "e stato amore a prima vista," meaning, "it was love at first sight."
Elegant, dramatic, sensual, bold, glamorous are just a few of the adjectives
that come to mind when you see the quality crafted jewelry by one of Florence,
Italy's most talented design teams, Manual and Mauro Zoppini, who followed in
the footsteps of the jeweler father, Marco Zoppini.
Drawing from the rich tradition of jewelry craft that is legendary in Italy, the
magic of the heart of Tuscany permeates Zoppini charms and bracelet designs.
Melding the incredible strength of stainless steel with the infinite allure of
fluid design and symbols that are timeless, the beauty of Zoppini jewelry has
spread across the world.
To wear an original Zoppini charm bracelet puts you in a select category: no
other charm manufactured in the world is crafted with the same attention to
detail. With over 1,500 designs, Zoppini Italian charms from their introduction
to the American market in 1995 have grown to be the most recognized brand in the
United States.
What makes the difference between an authentic Zoppini charm and an "Italian
style" charm? Materials, link construction and interchangeability. Zoppini uses
18karat gold, resulting in a very elegant finish. These authentic Italian charms
are made from the highest grade of nickel-free stainless steel in accordance
with European standards. The absence of nickel eliminates allergic reactions to
the skin. On the other hand, "Italian style" charms are made of brass or usually
gold plated.
The artwork of authentic Zoppini Italian charms is hand painted enamel and the
stones that are soldered onto a link providing a bond that is practically
indestructible. With "Italian style" charms, the art or stones are glued onto
the link. Authentic Zoppini Italian charms are interchangeable with the other
major brands; they will slide on and off smoothly, while the links of the
"Italian style" charms tend not to fit into the bracelet securely.
The same attention to detail that has led to domination of the market in charm
bracelets is given to every piece of Zoppini jewelry. You can choose one of the
dramatic and bold contemporary stainless steel designs available in necklaces,
bracelets, pendants and rings of the "Dare to Love" collection that is accented
with sky blue spinel stones, or the ethereal "Feelings" collection, a spherical
design complemented with 18 karat gold, leather and cubic zirconia stones.
If you are in the mood for something whimsical, the design of the "Coffe
Collection" elevates the beloved coffee bean to a work of art. Whichever design
you choose, you will feel infused with the passion for beauty that Italian
jewelry artisans have shared with the entire world.
There is also a practical side to Zoppini jewelry-the "Time" collection is a
magnificent assortment of stainless steel watches with features such as a
magnifying quartz crystal, stainless steel chronograph buttons, unidirectional
rotating bezel, Miyota 2115 movement with calendar and phosphorescent points on
the time indicators.
Using the highest grade of stainless steel as its foundation for its jewelry,
Zoppini has removed the barrier that has prevented many from wearing jewelry;
allergic reactions to certain alloys, such as nickel. In addition, Zoppini
Firenze continues the artisan tradition of Italian jewelry craft, surpassing the
highest manufacturing standards in Europe and indeed the world.
You will see Zoppini jewelry adorning the models of top fashion magazines and
worn by those who love the beauty and quality of finely crafted jewelry all over
the world. Wherever you happen to be in the world; Brazil, Europe, Dubai,
Canada, Asia or Italy, you will find Zoppini jewelry stores. |
