Our story · Aver Jewels

Jewellery with a story to carry with you.

Aver comes from a passion that started at sixteen, and from a family set on taking that craft further without losing what it is.

The origin

It all started with a sixteen-year-old apprentice.

He learned the craft from another jeweller, paying for his training with the excitement of someone who has found what they want to do forever. More than forty years later, that same passion is alive in every piece that leaves his bench.

Domenico · The craft

The difference

We do not make jewellery to look like all the rest.

“If a detail does not work, we start again.”

That is the standard the workshop lives by. Every project is built alongside designers and passes through his hands until the piece has the character it was after from the start.

Having his own workshop let him create lines with an identity, far from objects made to please everybody. Aver comes from that same idea: singular jewellery for people who would rather not look like everyone else.

A lifetime of craft

The workshop is not a place: it is his way of creating.

At 16

The beginning

He learned the craft alongside another jeweller and paid for his own training. That is where a passion was born that has never stopped growing.

Later

His own workshop

He opened his workshop to create under his own name, take every decision himself and bring to life lines that were truly his.

Today

40+ years of craft

He is still at the bench, working with designers and remaking a piece from scratch if one detail does not convince him.

Behind Aver

Three people, one same way of doing things.

Aver is our way of bringing a family craft into your everyday.

Behind the pieces is Domenico: jeweller, craftsman and the tireless eye that looks for the difference in every detail. Behind Aver are Susanna Zampieri and Antonio Silvestre, turning that craft into a brand that is close, alive and made to reach every island.

Susanna Zampieri · Jewellery and footwear designer

From inspiration to meeting people.

Susanna set the project going and guides its creative eye. Inspired by nature and by the daily work of the workshop, she chooses the pieces, organises every order and takes Aver to the markets to meet face to face the people who choose them.

Antonio Silvestre · Web development and UI design

A shop that feels close as well.

Antonio is Aver’s web developer and UI designer. He shapes the online shop, puts the ideas in order and is next to Susanna in every decision. The aim is simple: that the contact born at a market is felt on the other side of the screen too.

From the workshop to the Canaries

A story made here, to travel further.

The craft is born in Italy. Aver finds the people who wear it in the islands.

Susanna listens, talks and shows the pieces at the markets; there each piece stops being only an object and starts to become part of a person. Antonio brings that same closeness to the online shop, so that Aver can be discovered beyond one island too.
