Gemmological Shop

Below is our story which has developed over forty years of experience and research

In 1983 starts in Valenza the shop Gemmological Shop Astucci,
It's starts from an idea of Mario e Antonina, the focus was to create a reference shop to help who needed tailor made solutions in jewellery field.
Slowly all the customers had understood that to show a fine jewelry of high quality they should used a packaging as the same height as the jewel.
It was the first half of the 1990s, and Made in Italy products and their production were typically carried out in the Valencian area; it was almost a given that there were no Chinese or foreign companies producing them.
For years, my parents relied on local artisans, growing together and building a business that still exists today. Toward the end of the 1990s, thanks to globalization, the jewelry world changed, and with it, the world of packaging. Previously, jewelry production was exclusively in Italy, now it's outsourced to China, where costs are low and production is higher. In 1996, I, Luca, son of Antonina and Mario, joined the company. Initially, we followed the trend of the Chinese market and directly imported cases for our shop and for customers who wanted a customized line, both in terms of shape, color, interior, and materials. However, what we've always made in Italy, in our workshop, were counter trays, safe boxes, window displays, and display cases. We had our own carpenter who would prepare the cases for us, and we'd cover or finish them (if they were painted).
After 2010, the business changed again. There were many Chinese case wholesalers selling in Italy and to our customers, so we gradually decided
to abandon imported items and create what our customers wanted ourselves, using our own quantities and expertise.
After the Covid period, many companies began to no longer want imported items but instead looked for Italian manufacturers. Over the past two years, we have become 100% self-sufficient. We purchase raw materials and create the boxes, trays, displays, and display cases in-house. We have expanded our case models, adding other intermediate models in addition to the high-end jewelry line to meet customer needs. Quantities remain flexible; our minimum order starts at 1 piece and increases.
What we want to convey to our customers is that turnover isn't important; what matters is building a relationship of trust and respect between us, allowing us to create a product that they like and enjoy together.
We've recently added the option of 3D printing products, projects that can't be created by hand. We collaborate with quality lacquerers to give plastic cases or wooden display cases a gloss or matte finish, and we're working with companies to create plexiglass jewelry cases.
Over the years, we've collaborated with various luxury brands in Valenza and beyond, but we generally prefer not to use our clients' names for advertising purposes; we prefer to let our quality, services, and products speak for themselves.
