Jewellery on this plate starts on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. Alessandro Dari makes jewellery that reads as wearable sculpture, and Angela Caputi works statement pieces in resin. Aprosio & Co builds its pieces from glass beads, and Cameo Italiano on Via della Vigna Nuova carves cameos by hand. The great houses follow, with Bulgari in Rome and Buccellati in Milan for engraved gold. Cartier is in Paris, and Damiani works from Valenza, the Piedmont town built on the gold trade. Capri sends the lucky bells of Chantecler, and Sicily sends the coral bracelets of Consorzio Corallo di Sciacca. Accessories widen the list, because Borsalino and Antica Manifattura Cappelli make hats and Barbarulo makes Neapolitan cufflinks. Azalea Bellagio weaves silk scarves on Lake Como, Drake's ties them in London, and Aurora in Turin writes with fountain pens whose gold nibs are ground in house.
