The Casa – FERRARA

THE HISTORY OF THE CASA

Antonio Ferrara, a fifth-generation jeweller, carries on an extraordinary family tradition. His great-grandfather, Peppino Colicchio, served as a jeweler to the House of Savoy during the reign of Victor Emmanuel II, Italy’s first king following unification in 1861. Celebrated as some of the world’s finest jewellers, the Colicchio family pioneered techniques that set a benchmark for fine jeweller that the Ferraras continue to use today to create exceptional, world-class jewellery for some of the most renown brands in the world. This unwavering dedication to craftsmanship has been the foundation of the Ferrara legacy, passed down through generations. It has driven the family to share their artistry with the world, creating their own brand to showcase years of expertise, knowledge, and unparalleled skill.

ANTONIO FERRARA

Antonio’s passion for jewelry began at 14, working in his grandfather’s workshop in Naples, learning the skills of the Colicchio family. His first creation, a delicate copper flower, marked the start of his lifelong dedication to the craft. Seeking new horizons, he moved to New York, where he worked with the prestigious Verdura jewelry house and discovered he had crafted on Salvador Dalí’s personal bench. This connection to iconic creators fueled his rise, catching the attention of diamond dealers and leading to bespoke collaborations.
