Every Ardelli piece passes through four stages, in the hands of four kinds of specialist. We do not industrialise any of them.
The process begins with 18kt gold, white, yellow or rose, melted and cast in our Valenza foundry. The alloy is prepared in small batches to keep its colour exact.
Every diamond is selected individually and certified by GIA, HRD or IGI. We choose for cut and brilliance first, and never compromise on origin.
Setting is done by hand at the bench. A pavé of two hundred stones takes weeks of work; a single solitaire can take days. Nothing is rushed.
Each piece is polished, inspected and re-polished until it passes the quality controls of our master goldsmiths. Then, and only then, it leaves the atelier.
Every diamond in an Ardelli piece is accompanied by a certificate from one of the world's three leading gemmological laboratories. The certificate is yours, with the piece, for life.
