Jul 2, 2007
An infant among the major players of the jewelry industry, Di Modolo Milano began only a mere 7 years ago in 2000. With such a young company, and even a young founder, it is hard to believe that Di Modolo Milano produces such exquisite and already popular jewelry. In the time since its start, the jewelry has been worn by many A-list celebrities, including actresses Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Annabella Sciorra, and singer Kelly Clarkson. In addition, Tea Leoni has twice been named the face of Di Modolo, first in 2005, and again in 2006.
While Di Modolo could have been incredibly intimidated by the sheer power that is the luxury world, founder Dino Di Modolo adopted a very different attitude. He chose to muster up his resolve and establish himself as the next great player. With a positive perspective and a challenge to himself to succeed, Dino chose a trusted colleague and friend, Benny Shabtai, Raymond Weil USA founder, to join his entrepreneurial adventure. With that secret weapon in place (well, not secret anymore), Dino knew he could accomplish his dream. His other secret – his skilled talent with micro-techniques – would become the cornerstone of his design, artistry and company. Being of Italian heritage and raised in Switzerland during his early formative years, Dino seamlessly weaved modern techniques with his classical Italian and Swiss taste. His ability to bring these elements together has resulted in his signature style: dainty pieces with fine minute details and a delicate quality uncommon among jewelers, especially Italian designers.
Boasting true precision craftsmanship and favoring the classical appeal, Di Modolo jewelry is feminine, romantic, and extremely elegant. Perhaps his most popular collection is the Quadria collection focusing on white gold jewelry that is simply dripping with diamonds in row settings creating a look that resembles diamond studded roman columns. The rings especially recall the ancient Roman days because of the width and the cross bar stations, some with diamonds and some without. The other popular collection is the airy, light and feminine Triada collection. This collection could have been inspired by the airy wings of a butterfly or even the scepters of Roman kings. Whatever the source of inspiration, the 3 sided orb shapes of the Triada collection are amazing examples of the meticulous craftsmanship that is possible with the micro-techniques. Di Modolo may be young but with their innovative techniques, knowledge and confidence, Di Modolo will surely be creating fine luxury jewelry for years to come and will only further establish itself as a leader in jewelry design.
