Piranesi

Piranesi

Abraham Hajibay started what became Piranesi in 1845, an Italian jewelry house that his family carried from Valenza and Milan all the way to Rockefeller Plaza in New York in 1976. The house is now on its fifth generation under Miriam Hajibay, who once collaborated on sketches with Elizabeth Taylor for a namesake collection, and it still centers on one-of-a-kind pieces built from fine gemstones and diamonds.

Jewelry

A house with a Milan-to-New York move behind it tends to design for permanence rather than a single season, and that shows in the scale and color of the stones here. The Hajibay family has specialized in one-of-a-kind pieces since the nineteenth century, and each design in this grid still reads that way, built around a specific gem rather than a repeatable template.

This second grid keeps the family's long-running habit of pairing colored gemstones with diamonds in dense, saturated settings. Piranesi has outfitted royal families and famous private clients for generations, and the ambition in these pieces has not been scaled down for a wider retail audience.

Our honest take

Piranesi has the kind of continuous family history that most jewelry brands only imply, five generations from Abraham Hajibay to his descendants running the house today. That history is doing real work here, not just decoration on a website: the gemstone-forward, one-of-a-kind approach has barely shifted in a century and a half.
