From Florence with Love: The World of Annamaria Cammilli Fine Jewelry

From Florence with Love: The World of Annamaria Cammilli Fine Jewelry

Annamaria Cammilli is a distinguished name in the world of fine jewelry, celebrated for its innovative approach to design and craftsmanship. Founded in 1983 by the visionary designer Annamaria Cammilli, this Italian brand has become synonymous with elegance, creativity, and the artistry of goldsmithing. Rooted in Florence's rich artistic heritage, Cammilli's creations are recognized worldwide for their unmistakable style and exceptional quality.

One of the defining aspects of Annamaria Cammilli jewelry is its mastery of gold. The brand has developed a remarkable palette of gold alloys, each with its own unique hue and finish. The "Aetherna" finish, in particular, showcases the brand's expertise in creating velvety textures and sculptural designs that stand out without relying heavily on gemstones. This innovative approach to gold surfaces is a testament to the brand's dedication to pushing the boundaries of jewelry design.

Annamaria Cammilli's journey into high jewelry began in the 1960s when she was a young painter and sculptor in Florence. Her artistic talent shone early, earning her recognition in various competitions. Introduced to jewelry through her husband, whose family had been jewelers for many generations, she transitioned from creating art on canvas to crafting exquisite jewelry pieces for their store. 

Annamaria Cammilli Jewelry Designer

In the 1970s, Cammilli opened her first store in Florence under her husband's family name, quickly gaining admiration for her innovative designs. Her store became a hub for Florence's elite, and her unique creations caught the attention of professional jewelers. This success laid the foundation for the Annamaria Cammilli brand in 1983. 

Throughout the 1990s, the brand solidified its position on both national and international stages. Japan was one of the first countries to embrace Cammilli's collections, earning her the nickname "the Lady of Flowers." 

Under the leadership of Riccardo Renai, the fifth generation of goldsmiths in Cammilli’s family, the brand has expanded its reach globally while staying true to its Florentine roots. The brand's philosophy—creating jewelry that is instantly recognizable even without a label—resonates through its collections, which feature a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity.

The Annamaria Cammilli brand features several distinct “series,” each showcasing unique designs:

Dune Series Six Layer Diamond Ring

Dune

The Dune series is inspired by the natural curves of desert dunes. The pieces feature irregular curves with velvety surfaces contrasted by glossy gold edges, creating a dynamic, three-dimensional effect. Diamonds are often set within these flowing shapes, enhancing their elegance and movement.

 Three Layer Oval Pavé Diamond Dune Chic Pendant Diamond and Gold Pavé Dangling Dune Chic Earrings

Dune Chic Pavé

A refined extension of the Dune series, Dune Chic Pavé incorporates pavé-set diamonds into its designs. The series maintains the sinuous gold ribbons but adds a contemporary flair with the sparkling pavé setting, making these pieces light, versatile, and perfect for both day and evening wear.

Velaa Color

The Velaa series simplifies and smooths the irregular features of the Dune series while amplifying the volume through the interplay of uncluttered lines and negative space between them. The minimal yet voluminous Velaa meets Velaa Color for a collection that showcases masterful color combinations, precious gemstones, and Cammilli’s signature shiny, velvety gold finish.
