Founded by husband and wife team, Carlo and Bruna Re, the company already had a decades long reputation for exceptional craftsmanship before one theme emerged as its most distinguishing. In 2017, the company launched its Anniversary Love collection, which featured heart shaped diamonds exclusively, leading the way towards the brand’s current aesthetic foundation.
