About Chimento

Learn About the brand

In 1964, in the jewelry quarter of Vicenza, Adriano Chimento set out to build something lasting. The city was already known for its goldsmiths, but Adriano wanted to create a brand that carried both the weight of tradition and the spark of innovation. What he started that year would grow into one of the most recognized names in Italian jewelry.<br><br> From the beginning, the focus was clear. Chimento would work in 18-carat gold, crafting designs that were both elegant and technically precise. He insisted on ethical sourcing, making sure that every diamond was conflict-free. This commitment to responsibility became part of the brand’s identity, woven into every piece alongside the artistry of the metalwork.<br><br> Adriano faced challenges in those early years. He needed artisans who shared his high standards, and he worked to balance heritage techniques with new ideas. Over time, his vision took shape in collections like Armillas and Bamboo, which combined classical forms with modern flexibility. The Size-Fit patent, allowing rings to adjust seamlessly to different fingers, showed how far he was willing to push design to make jewelry both personal and innovative.<br><br> As decades passed, Chimento’s name spread beyond Vicenza. The company grew, but the guiding principles never shifted. Each collection carried the same mix of tradition, craftsmanship, and forward thinking that Adriano had set in motion. Customers came to see Chimento jewelry not only as decoration, but as wearable art shaped by a history of integrity.<br><br> Today, pieces that began in the workshops of Vicenza are found in showcases across the world. They carry with them the same story: a brand built on Italian artistry, ethical responsibility, and the vision of one man who believed that jewelry should be both beautiful and enduring.
