MICHELE DELLA VALLE
Michele della Valle began designing costume jewellery at the age of 16. In 1978 he opened his own workshop in Rome. This was the beginning of a collaboration with Bulgari on special orders, and his recognition as a new designer by a clientele of celebrities throughout Italy. In 1987, he moved to Geneva to develop his own jewellery brand, still thriving to this day.
