The Craft

Valenza stands among the earliest and most respected centres of the jewellery world, shaping Italian jewellery for generations. It is here, in our ateliers, that every Il Bernardo creation begins. Designs are first brought to life through hand sketches, where form and proportion are defined with clarity. For bespoke pieces, this becomes a collaborative process, with clients closely consulted and stones sourced to reflect their vision. This initial stage is then supported by advanced computer renderings, allowing the design to be studied and refined before it enters production.

From this point, each piece is developed by master goldsmiths in Valenza, guided by the principles of Italian craftsmanship. Ethically sourced diamonds within the D, E, and F colour range are carefully selected and integrated into the design with a focus on balance and consistency. Every element is shaped, assembled, and finished within our ateliers, resulting in high jewellery creations that reflect both the heritage of Italian jewellery and Il Bernardo's commitment to quality at the highest level.
