This extraordinary piece was created by Italian jewelry,Dario Macallè, and his son, Matteo. The Macallè family has had manyyears experience withmetal fusion and waxcasting. The family tradition was started way backin the 1950’s by Matteo’s grandfather. Their artisan laboratory specializes in the production of all kinds of brass and silver dress jewelry and accessories. The passing of the years has not diminishedthe passion with which the Macallè familyworks. Each piece they create is an original, and no two pieces of jewelry are alike.
