Percossi Papi creates unique jewelry of unmistakable style in a small atelier near the Pantheon, in the heart of ancient Rome, since 1968. Following the tradition of enamels, this family created over the years an unmistakable style and school in the art of goldsmithing, where creativity, shape, color and materials become the protagonists. Its creations are intended to evoke the perfumes and colors of the Mediterranean and the forms of Roman Baroque architecture. The creative inspiration comes from history, which is absorbed and elaborated through a deep and instinctive intuition, guided and sustained by an attentive passion towards the study of ancient working techniques in which the presence of manual craftsmanship is total, developing, at the same time, its own unique and unmistakable style, in symbiotic harmony with the secular tradition and the most modern and innovative techniques of fashion. Today, people from the world of the arts, in intellectual and aristocratic circles, wear its jewelry all over the world.
