It was 1947 when Alfredo Megazzini as a true pioneer and free spirit decided at the age of 21 to open his goldsmith’s workshop in Valenza. A city famous in Italy and in the world for being the headquarters and production center of jewelery. And it is precisely here that Alfredo founded his company, giving life with great passion and dedication to an artisan reality that today boasts over 70 years of experience in the gold sector. The first of his precious creations were the Chevalier rings, jewelry with an octagonal or round shape, typically worn by noble families to define and underline not only their status and their family but also to seal and authenticate various missives. And it is from the stylization of the octagonal shield that the Megazzini brand / logo derives, which still characterizes the formal documents of the company.
In the 60s, from the intuitions of Alfredo and his careful evaluations of the goldsmith market, the idea and the desire to specialize was born in the production of “fasteners”, a technical term used to define closures of strings of pearls. This choice was immediately successful and far-sighted, allowing the Megazzini company to grow on the international scene and become the absolute reference, in the jewelry field, for the creation of necklace with pearls, precious and similar closures.

In 1985 the arrival of his son Massimo, the current owner, marks a further corporate emancipation increasingly attentive to the needs of the luxury world. Thus the business reaches new horizons: France, Spain, Germany, USA and Japan that allow you to create a strong bond and an indissoluble network between pearl distributors and artisan goldsmith excellence. The confirmation of this success came overseas, where the American first lady Nancy Reagan bought a necklace of precious gems characterized by a diamond clasp and a ruby cabochon.
A testimony that allows over the following years to focus mainly on the precious closures and the processing of pearls. The design and creation of pearl jewelry stands out in an increasingly international and creative panorama, so much so that in the nineties Massimo dedicated new corporate life to the processing of enamels. This precious technique entirely performed by hand marked a new trend within the production line. And it is thanks to the innovative and creative spirit of these collections that even today the Megazzini maison can offer a wide range of jewels ranging from classic and traditional taste to the most modern and whimsical one.
