Rich in heritage and craftsmanship, the fourth-generation, family-run House of Repossi is synonymous with elegance and style. The house is renowned for its exquisite, ornate and diamond-studded creations, which incorporate exceptional stones into pieces that seamlessly blend contemporary designs with classical elements.
The brand was first created in Turin, Italy by Constantino Repossi in 1920. Upon completing his studies in industrial design, the young Constantino took over his father's jewellery business and atelier in post-war Italy. The first Repossi store was opened in 1949 in Turin during Italy's modernist era. Art Deco and Avant-Garde styles prevailed in the first Repossi collections, which demonstrated Costantino's ability to combine both his technical and artistic backgrounds.
Subsequently, Constantino's son, Alberto, began designing pieces at the age of seventeen after learning the craftsmanship of the family's atelier. In 1974, Alberto took charge of the house and brought the brand to international recognition. Under Alberto, the Repossi House saw the opening of a flagship store in Monte Carlo in 1977, followed by the Paris store in Place Vendôme in Paris in 1986.
Repossi designs became famed for their elegance and were celebrated by many influential people. Repossi became the official purveyor to HRH The Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1994, which gave the house worldwide recognition. Repossi also became the official supplier to the Saudi Royal family, and to the Royal families of Qatar and Dubai. The house continues to work with royalty in many countries, and its designs are enjoyed by socialites, jewellery connoisseurs and celebrities worldwide. Today, much of the work is still done in the same workshops that were used in the 1920s.
Following tradition, Alberto's daughter Gaia Repossi is now leading the family business, which is nearing its 100th anniversary and is more successful today than ever before.
