I was looking for a special present and the beautiful Lucia helped me decide between all the lovely pieces that caught my eye. Lucia understood perfectly how the different pieces would play out in my wardrobe and either at work or a social night out. A wonderful experience, thank you for spending the time with me !

The name “Celle” came from the small hermit houses built in the wholes of the mountain. It is a beautiful, calm and peaceful place, historical monument and a pleasant sight.

This is a must stop when visiting Cortona. Find the little jewelry shop in the center of town just off the square and ask them to take you for a tour of their manufacturing shop and full warehouse nearby. Relax with a glass of Prosecco, and peruse the magnificent one-of-a-kind jewelry, shoes and home where it all began.
