The Aurelia Atelier
A family workshop in Valenza, since 1968.
Aurelia began with a single bench, a soldering torch, and a small sketchbook kept by Elena's grandmother in the spring of 1968.
Three generations later, we still work from that same workshop in Valenza — the small Piedmontese town that has quietly produced some of the world's finest jewelry for the better part of a century. The bench is still there. So is the sketchbook.
We design slowly. We make in small runs. We ship from a studio above the workshop, often with a hand-written note. We believe a piece of jewelry should be worn for fifty years, not five — and we design it that way from the very first sketch.
01
Slow craft
Every piece is hand-finished in our Valenza workshop, the way it has been for three generations.
02
Honest materials
Recycled 18k gold, traceable diamonds, and freshwater pearls — sourced from makers we know by name.
03
Made to be lived in
Designed as wardrobe — pieces meant to be worn daily, layered, repaired, and inherited.
Our promise
“If a piece breaks, send it back. We'll fix it — for as long as we are still here. That has been true since 1968 and it will be true tomorrow.”
— Elena Rizzo, Founder & Creative Director
