OUR
PROCESS
It all begins with a sketch... but DelBrenna design only truly comes to life at the bench where we are our most natural and creative. Taking the time and skill to sculpt our compositions allows us to achieve the signature flair and detail we are known and loved for!
DelBrenna artisans create all original components by hand in sterling silver. Once in production, our jewelry is still hand-finished by skilled artisans in our Cortona-based workshop or in the family's home studio in the Tuscan countryside.
It doesn't stop at production, though. DelBrenna is a vertically-integrated, family-owned company where we design, craft, market, and sell our products. We're incredibly proud that each and every DelBrenna treasure is and will forever be handmade in Italy.

THE
ICONIC CHAIN
DelBrenna incorporates its signature chain into every DelBrenna design. The iconic chains are at the heart and soul of our jewelry where each step is carried out by hand.
Every single element in the signature chain is the result of an 11-step, DelBrenna-patented process. Every inch of the chain has about eight elements; that’s 88 steps per inch, all expertly completed by our bench jewelers.

FOUR
ELEMENTS
DelBrenna has developed 4 main elements. Everlasting and timeless in their nature, yet avant-garde and rare once styled into DelBrenna Design. Those 4 elements are DelBrenna Links, Ciambelle, Cylinders and Beads. Sometimes we enhance these four elements; adding a twist, a diamond-cut texture or a pairing of the elements in endless variations.

LINKS
The most beloved DelBrenna chain design was first built using all link components in the 5mm gauge width. Now, available in 3mm, and 5mm diameter, these are our most popular chain types amongst fans. Being a best-seller, it is also the chain most commonly integrated into more complex designs. We will often wrap the chain around gemstones or coins, enhancing them in a way only DelBrenna can. The Links chain is a great place to start your DelBrenna Collection full of intricate details.

CIAMBELLE
They are extraordinary - available in 3mm and 5mm diameter. The elements in this chain design all start as perfect spheres. An additional step is needed to push and expand each form into its donut shape. The Italian word for a donut is "Ciambelle," hence the name of this marvelous design. Wrapped around gemstones, the ciambelle elements remind us of sunflowers in nature; thus, we have a whole collection of sunflower gems. The Ciambelle offer a softer, almost tube-like alternative to the links chain and will beg your friends to take a closer look. This is an excellent start to a DelBrenna Collection that will show off a smooth polished shine.

BEADS
Timeless & Classic - available in 3mm and 5mm diameter. This chain's design uses spheres, perfectly round geometric objects that beckon light and play with shine. In fact, this light-play inspired DelBrenna to create another bead-type cut by diamonds, enhancing the effect. Don't be fooled by the appearance so similar to other beaded jewelry. The DelBrenna design does not string the beads on but instead uses their unique links to hand solder and weave each bead into place. The beads are must-have for the most classical of closets or for stacking and mixing bracelets and necklaces for anyone with a more eclectic eye.

CYLINDERS
A Contemporary Touch - available in 3mm diameter. The DelBrenna cylinders chain is a barrel-shape, a continuous ray of bright, luminous shine. The striking chain is made just like pasta. We turn a ribbon of silver into a long tube and cut it carefully into equal lengths with a small saw. After we polish the edges, we solder and unite the cylindrical elements into and around our glamourous links design. This chain design is the key to successful stacking and layering, forming contrasting textures and highlights.

GOLD
OXIDATION
Our 24K Gold Oxidation Finish is the result of an ancient process that gives beautiful depth to jewelry. The DelBrenna family has personalized this technique for our collections. In addition to the unique allure it adds to every piece, gold oxidation is also extremely durable. The process is entirely natural. After a piece of jewelry is treated with gold, it is allowed to oxidize and turn completely black. The molecules of the gold and silver bond during this process, making the finish very durable. The jewelry is then tumbled in a barrel along with nutshells, wood chips, and wax. The friction of these materials against the treated jewelry reveals the gold. The gold oxidation finish can last a lifetime! It will not darken or tarnish. The life of the finish depends on many factors, such as an individual's body chemistry and the amount of wear the jewelry receives.
The finish is loved for its warm patina and is distinct every time.

YELLOW
GOLD
We like to believe that DelBrenna's yellow gold finish is the color of sunshine. Made to glow and fashioned above all for our diamond-cut collections highlighting the elemental nature of the pieces built to shimmer. DelBrenna uses 24K yellow gold. The vibrant color maintains contrast when paired with the other finishes. Wear this finish with pride and shine on.

RHODIUM
FINISH
Rhodium is a silvery-white precious metal and a member of the platinum family. It is the material most often used to plate jewelry because of its highly reflective finish, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Rhodium costs about six times as much as gold by weight and is also hypoallergenic. Rhodium plating can last a lifetime! The plating life depends on many factors, such as an individual’s body chemistry and the amount of wear the jewelry receives.

BLACK RHODIUM
FINISH
Black rhodium has a rare dark appearance that can be
varied from a distinctive light gray through gray-black.
DelBrenna uses a tone that simulates gun-metal.
Black rhodium is the hardest of all the platinum group
metals and has an extremely durable and chemically stable finish. In design, black is forever timeless;
and now, more than ever, it is the go-to finish for
jewelry that answers the call for a different color. Also,
black rhodium can effectively prevent scratches and
abrasion on the surface, making sterling silver jewelry more durable. Its dark sheen can be paired with all
finishes beautifully and offers a bold depth and unique,
yet polished statement.

THE DELBRENNA
CHARM
DelBrenna necklaces and bracelets include a DelBrenna medallion charm
certifying quality. The medallion features the DelBrenna logo,
"Made in Italy," "Fatto con amore" (meaning "made with love in Italian), the DelBrenna trademark, and the 925-silver or 750-gold
grade inside an oval.
The DelBrenna trademark is a polygon shape
referencing the maker's number and province with a star to the left.
Italy requires formal hallmarking registration of each specific maker.
This is unique to Italian-made jewels. The oval (stamped 925) is the
jewelry quality standard in Italy for silver. It is an alloy of 92.5% silver.
The remaining 7.5% is copper. Copper is added to the alloy to increase
hardness, making the metal more durable and creating the color and
luster prized by consumers. The oval (stamped 750) is the jewelry quality
standard in Italy for gold. The 750 verifies that pure gold makes up
75% of the alloy, more commonly known as 18 karats (or 18k) gold. The
remaining portion of the alloy is typically made up of silver and copper.
