Sacchi Jewels

About

The Sacchi brand has been known as one of Rome's artistic jewellers since the mid-twentieth century when, in 1946, Agostino Sacchi founded the company. Among the first in Rome to use the "lost-wax" casting technique to create three-dimensional sculptures and jewellery pieces, Agostino sought from the beginning to offer creations inspired by the jewellery of ancient Rome, reworking these in modern style. In the mid-seventies, Agostino's son, Corrado, began to collaborate with him, bringing innovative ideas to the business and giving life to different lines of contemporary jewellery. Upon Agostino's passing in 1978, Corrado fully became his successor, continuing the traditional craftsmanship that still characterises the company today: innovating, experimenting with new forms, creating jewellery that looks to the future but also to a past that cannot be less than inspiring. Corrado's sons, Andrea and Filippo, are now in the business, which thus continues into its third generation.
