ORNELLA BIJOUX
The brand was created during the World War ll
The brand was born in a completely unexpected way: gold and alcohol were taken from jewelers and perfumers (respectively) for the needs of the army and two wonderful people decided to join forces and start producing costume jewelry: the jeweler had the technology, and the perfumer had retail stores.
They actively got down to business, but soon the war ended and everyone returned to their crafts. And they offered to buy out the developments to their secretary — this is where the real birth of the Ornella brand begins. The daughter of this secretary, Maria Victoria Albani, was only 14, but she joined her mother's business and created more than 30 thousand jewelry models in her life, forever inscribing her name in the history of Italian fashion!
Maria Victoria passed away in 2019. And Ornella bigoux jewelry has become collectibles. They travel the world as part of exhibitions, they are mentioned in books about the history of jewelry, they are exhibited in museums.
Maria Victoria's daughter, Simonа, continued the family business and we are proud of this cooperation!
