In 1908 Edoardo Pestelli, after an apprenticeship with the Marchesini jewelers, opened the first Pestelli jewelry store in Florence, becoming a reference point for the upper bourgeoisie of the time. In 1911 he took part in the international fair in Rome and started to export his jewels in Europe and in the United States.
In 1920 Pestelli jewelry moved to Via Tornabuoni in Florence and – in 1935 – in the prestigious Via Strozzi, a few steps from the current atelier. The company asserted itself among the international nobility. Among the customers we find the House of Savoy, the royals of Romania, the vice-king of Egypt and the Vatican.
In 1989 the Pestelli jewelry passes under the guidance of the great-grandson Tommaso who – continuing the family tradition – personally creates each work together with his wife Eva Aulmann. Meanwhile, Pestelli jewels are sold all over the world: from Paris to New York.
In 2011 the Pestelli jewelery was certified as an “Italian Historical Company”. Some of his creations are exhibited in the permanent goldsmith’s collection at the prestigious Museo degli Argenti in Florence. In 2018 – for its 110 years of activity – the Pestelli company receives the “DNA Artigiano” award assigned by Confartigianato.
In 2019 Pestelli wins the prestigious Talents du Luxe et de la Création award in Paris! The prize, awarded by the Center du Luxe et de la Création in Paris, rewards every year the talents who stand out in the categories that define the modern conception of luxury and Pestelli won the prize for the category Elegance.
Ogni oggetto è un'opera d'arte unica curata in ogni più piccolo dettaglio; un piacere per gli occhi e la mente! Imperdibili poi gli oggetti ispirati alla Wunderkammer! No cinque ma dieci stelle!
We have bought many pieces from Tommaso and Eva Pestelli and they have all been wonderful. I also sent them a parcel of stones and Tommaso made me a wonderful ring as a suprise design - it is perfect! Thank you Pestelli, you are great!
Spettacolari e finissime in ogni caso, in qualche esito senza paragoni. Nella mia lunga carriera di conoscitore di metalli antichi ho diretto restauri, proposto acquisti allo Stato e consigliato per la salvaguardia delle nostre più preziose opere antiche. Tra cinquant'anni le cose realizzate in questa bottega meriteranno eguale trattamento.
