Laura Balzelli
| A visionary from Vicenza who has been a painter, sculptor, and high-fashion designer, goldsmith Laura Balzelli gives exuberant life and intelligence to18-karat gold jewelry. In her laboratory/boutique, Balzelli boils gold and lovingly casts, sculpts, or molds it into unexpected shapes, which she then sprinkles with diamonds, star sapphires, or vintage gems from her collections. Be sure to see how she has revived and restored to its full glory the classic gold chain. She also fashions unique pins, bracelets, rings, and pendants from antique or natural materials. Her imagination is limitless. Balzelli's jewelry is shown in galleries all over Italy, and appeared in an exhibition of historic Venetian goldwork.
