A taste of the district
Vicenza is Italy's città dell'oro — the city of gold — where seven centuries of goldsmithing and the VicenzaOro fair make it the manufacturing heart of Made-in-Italy jewellery. What the district makes above all is worn gold in its plainest, most useful forms: the chain, the bracelet, the hoop. These are those forms, sourced on Amazon so a taste of the trade can travel home.
