Damiani, the high jewelry brand known internationally for its refined creations, and Borsalino, the historic brand specialized in the production of luxury handcrafted headwear, have created a special partnership on the occasion of the Damiani Centenary.
The union of these two realities, symbols of the mastery of Made in Italy in the world, has led to the creation of three Borsalino hats, made even more precious by the combination with jewels from three of the most iconic Damiani collections. These pieces thus become a tangible sign of the union of two manufacturing excellences of Luxury, which share not only a deep bond with the territory of origin - the Piedmont region - but also a strong artisan vocation.
To personalize Nina, the very elegant Borsalino cloche with a slightly retro feel, proposed for the occasion in black, Belle Époque was chosen, the line inspired by the charm and joie de vivre of this unique historical period. The cloche features a refined element in white gold and diamonds on the belt – which recalls the film strip, a distinctive motif of the collection – and two matching pendants, which hang down the sides like precious earrings.
The Sophie hat, a timeless symbol of Borsalino excellence, has been paired with Mimosa, an emblem of Damiani's supreme craftsmanship with its "apparent chaos", the innovative workmanship that harmoniously combines stones of different sizes and cuts. This model, made in wood color, is embellished with a chain that surrounds the base of the dome and a sautoir necklace - both in rose gold, diamonds and Australian pearls - that hangs like a precious lace from the hat itself.
To give a new interpretation of the sporty character of the Borsalino Baseball, here proposed in amethyst purple, the Maison Damiani has chosen the Margherita collection, with its floral element that evokes the elegance of the flower of the same name. The dome of the cap is decorated with ten daisies "points of light" in rose gold, brown diamonds and amethysts of various sizes, one of which can be replaced with a splendid pin, made with the same precious materials.
Damiani jewels are unique works, handcrafted by expert goldsmiths from Valencia, characterized by exclusive design, great attention to detail and the excellent quality of the gems. Loved by the great stars but also by the new generations of international celebrities, the brand, with its century-old history, continues to arouse emotions and fascinate the eye.
"I am very pleased with this special collaboration. In addition to their territory of origin and excellent savoir-faire, Damiani and Borsalino also share a strong creativity, which allows them to reinterpret iconic products, making them always current." says Giorgio Grassi Damiani, Vice President of the Damiani Group.
"Having the opportunity to collaborate with a great Maison of Made in Italy Luxury like Damiani on the occasion of its prestigious centenary is a great honor and an extraordinary opportunity. The birth of these unique pieces marks for us a further step towards that search for quality and excellence in every detail that has always characterized our savoir-faire." concludes Mauro Baglietto, Managing Director Borsalino.
