Besides the traditional works in gold, coral, turquoise and cameos, performed thanks to advanced production processes and in the full respect of ancient traditions – advanced for their innovative character and ancient because they embody the ancient workmanship passion – in 1987, Tagliamonte decided to dedicate itself to the mysterious and magic world of vitreous pastes. Such decision revealed to be definitely a winning choice since vitreous pastes production has become the firm’s principal product. Dating back to the refined jewellery customs of ancient Romans, traces of their existence got lost in the centuries. Tagliamonte brings this style back, with the same charm of the past. Such operation does not represent the simple rediscovery of a noble material, in no way inferior to coloured stones for brightness and assortment, but is literally the rebirth of a “classical” iconographic repertory. Images that from Greek and Roman time, through Renaissance and Neoclassicism, have been brought to us only by Major Arts such as sculpture and painting rather than jewellery. Thus, Tagliamonte find its own way to transform a small piece of jewel into a precious case holding the fragment of an ancient but still alive life. The appeal of these creations is proved by the strong impact they have on designers and artists, who often employ and combine vitreous pastes with gold or other metals, stones, etc. The firm is particularly proud of its “Greek-Roman Collection”, a line that every year is enriched by new models. Tagliamonte has no competitors since it is the world’s only company in the business, exporting worldwide. Company profile. The company was set in Vicenza in 1985 as the continuity of the original Tagliamonte company of Torre del Greco. In 1987, it turned its production to the ancient and almost lost tradition of vitreous pastes, bringing back a material, absolutely no second to coloured stones, as well as a classical iconographic repertory. Doing so, the concept of jewels changed. It became a small precious case to hold a piece of ancient life. Tagliamonte is the only firm in the world that manufactures this kind of stone.
