Luigi Quaglia Gioielli

Here is where everything starts

A tradition handed down over the years
made of passion and creativity

Our History

In the 1950s in Milan’s central Via Montenapoleone, Luigi Quaglia’s goldsmith’s workshop was born: a small business that, thanks to the originality and refined elegance of its creations, over the years has managed to carve out a prominent place for itself in the Italian jewelry scene.

Over the years, Quaglia has created extraordinary events to present his lines of gold, diamond and gemstone jewellery.
He has worked with influential personalities from the world of entertainment and sports.
The most important newspapers have talked about his creations and handcrafted jewellery recognized in Italy and around the world.

A goldsmith artist and innovator, he was one of the first in Italy to put his signature on his creations accompanied by the slogan ‘Luigi Quaglia’s Etruscan gold,’ ‘his’ gold, the result of research and experimentation.

1950 | How everything started

The war has been over for five years and the need to resume the normal rhythm of life and work becomes more pressing. Amidst difficulties and strict laws forbidding the sale of gold, in the attic on Monte Napoleone Street Luigi Quaglia made his first pieces of jewellery.

1955 | Etruscan gold

Even the jewellery must possess something new, something that distinguishes it among all: the realization of an idea, the Quaglia idea. Thus, after a long wait and patient research, Luigi Quaglia presents ‘his’ Etruscan gold: a different gold, deep yellow, dull, scratched, with splashes and shiny “glares.”

1960 | The September meeting

Exhibitions and fairs follow each other, it is in these years that an initiative is added that will last for a long time: the “September meeting”. A very special show with the presentation of the collection and the newest gold ideas.

1970 | The goldsmith’s art on TV

During a goldsmithing exhibition in Hong Kong, Quaglia jewellery is filmed on Italian TV, it is the first time state TV has taken an interest in the gold sector.

1973 | L’Ambrogino d’oro

The extreme passion for his work, the innovation in the use of materials, and the sensitivity placed in the creation of each piece of jewellery has resulted in Luigi Quaglia being awarded the coveted Ambrogino d’Oro award as a master goldsmith.

1975 | Thaiti in Italy

After a trip to Polynesia, Quaglia was able to reconstruct the magical and enchanted atmosphere of Thaiti in Tuscany

A thousand…diamonds and one nights

Bright new ideas together with the color and warmth of gold in sharp contrast to the cold beauty of diamond.

1976 | The interlocks

Quaglia has always shown himself to be against the mainstream, creating a line of jewellery with “his own gold”; he has thus expressed his way of being a goldsmith, which he has built day by day through an endless series of” Interlocks”

1978 | Gold and Leather

The collection presented at the Regina Palace Hotel in Stresa, Italy, speaks of a Quaglia that combines Etruscan gold and leather.

1981 | Stars Collection

1982 | Dot and Circle

This theme made his sensibility vibrate, finding in the sun, sunrise, sunset and many other motifs the exemplification of the concept.

1983 | The Golden Net

How many things are made with nets? The spider’s net, the balloon net, the fish net, the one for catching butterflies or the wax beehive net.
In this same year, fashion also introduced netting by using it as details for shirts or for clothes made entirely of netting.
Quaglia did not miss the opportunity to once again dictate fashion and trend with the collection “The Golden Net.”

1984 | Gold and Clay

They are large and important jewels to wear that satisfy the wearer’s narcissistic taste, yet low in cost, thus desired by Mr. Quaglia to reach a wide segment of the public. From the same year is the Profumo Quaglia a new sour, dry, modern and refined fragrance, a fragrance for men as well as women like it, offered in an unprecedented terracotta casing with a pure gold signature.
The success of the perfume, means that the women’s fragrance is also in demand.
The women’s fragrance must be floral, and magnolia is chosen as the main essence. The bottle is a frosted crystal sphere closed with a stopper representing a combination of flowers like those in her jewellery.

Gold and Rubber

Rubber, a decidedly poor material that is completely used outside of its common use, with its black colour juxtaposed with the yellow of gold forms an avant-garde combination that will later inspire many others and will surely never wane.
