When in 1851 my great grandfather, Andrea, opened his first workshop in the old city of Naples, the machine was hand operated. The young shop assistant would crank the wheel while the apprentice poured the water slowly over it to keep it cool.

Thanks to the efforts of my grandfather and father, Francesco, we have been able to develop and maintain excquisite craftsmanship. During these one hundred fifty years we have expanded beyond cameos and corals.

We also create hand made bracelets, rings and necklesses in bullion, gold and silver. Each of our signed pieces are one of a kind and the attention to detail and exquisite craftmanship of each work of art is unmistakeable. This art is the result of four generations of enriching experience and dedicated effort to preserve this tradition of fine craftsmanship. With our small, unique production, we can also provide custom cameos to your needs. We await your visit.

My sincerest appreciation,
Franco Tammaro
