Question Looking for Intaglio Jewelry in Rome

[Day of the Hamster]

Greetings! We are heading to Rome in May. I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a store/source for an intaglio piece of jewelry. Ideally, I'm looking for something authentic and unique, perhaps a place that specializes in antique or vintage pieces. If you've had a great experience purchasing intaglio jewelry in Rome, I'd love to hear about the shop and what made it stand out. Any tips on what to look for or avoid would also be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Rome is a treasure trove for antique and vintage jewelry, especially intaglio pieces. For something authentic, consider visiting the Via del Governo Vecchio area—it's known for its antique shops and hidden gems. I’ve heard great things about shops like Gioielleria Etrusca and Argenteria Sabatelli for unique, high-quality pieces. When shopping, look for clear craftsmanship and ask about the piece's provenance. Avoid overly polished stones, as they might not be authentic. Enjoy your hunt!
