The Negozio Olivetti signet is a tribute to the Olivetti showroom in Piazza San Marco in Venice, to its architect Carlo Scarpa, and to the vision of the Olivetti family in their commitment to quality architecture for all its headquarters.

The combination of curves and planes, the different angles created by the movement of the hand, the roundness and elegance of this piece pay homage to the Architettura razionale of Northern Italy, built between the 1920s and 1950s, and to this architectural jewel.

Each piece is handcrafted in our Barcelona atelier and is personalised with two intertwined initials that form a unique monogram for each person.

The two initials must be specified in the "Order instructions" section when you place your order. We will contact you during the design process to show you your monogram.

DETAILS

The body of this piece is made of solid sterling silver and its main motif is a FAIRMINED 18K yellow gold piece on which custom-made initials are engraved.

The two initials must be specified in the ‘Special Ordering Instructions’ section when placing the order. We will contact you during the design process to show you your monogram.

The ring is made to measure. First a prototype of your size is cast in sterling silver. The two resulting modules are then checked, prepared and assembled. A FAIRMINED gold plate is then welded onto the ring, bearing the engraved monogram previously designed for you. Finally, the piece is polished ready for delivery. The participation of six professionals is essential during this process until the very end, therefore the production time will be three weeks long.

This ring is personalised by engraving a monogram created exclusively for you. For this reason, this item cannot be altered or returned.

KNOW MORE

In 1956 Adriano Olivetti commissioned Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa to design the Negozio Olivetti Signet, a small shop in Venice's prestigious Piazza San Marco.

Scarpa spent two years working on this elongated, dark and fragmented space, which he eventually turned into an architectural treasure that can be visited today. The exquisite but sober choice of materials makes this place unique: marble slabs to cover the pillars, rosewood for the shelves where the typewriters rested suspended by steel tubes, Venetian plaster for the walls and ultra-modern fluorescent lights camouflaged under tinted glass.

Every detail of its exterior and interior is loaded with intention and wisdom, starting with the cantilevered staircase connecting the two floors and ending with the mosaics of irregular glass tesserae in different colours marking the different areas of the shop.

CARE

Silver jewellery naturally oxidises and blackens, although frequent use keeps it polished and shiny. To clean it, use only water and neutral soap and a small brush for the less accessible areas, and dry it carefully.
If the silver has oxidised, polish it using metal cleaners, rubbing with a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
