Guglielmo Cini: Masterful Silverwork with an Old-World Touch

Founded in 1922 by Italian-born silversmith Guglielmo Cini, the Cini Jewelry Company quickly became renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to traditional techniques. Originally trained in Florence, Cini brought the rich heritage of Italian artistry to the United States, establishing his workshop in Boston before later relocating to Laguna Beach, California. His pieces are distinguished by intricate hand-cast designs, often inspired by Renaissance and Baroque influences, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Cini’s work is particularly celebrated for its ornate sterling silver creations, including elaborate zodiac motifs, nature-inspired elements, and regal heraldic designs. The brand’s signature sculptural approach set it apart from mass-produced jewelry, making Cini pieces highly desirable among collectors of fine vintage silver. Even after Guglielmo Cini’s passing, the company maintained its commitment to old-world artistry, producing jewelry that reflects the timeless elegance of an era when silversmithing was truly an art form.
