Meet Claudio Bassani

Claudio Bassani trained in his youth in Valenza, one of Europe’s historic goldsmithing centres, and spent decades working in metal and fine jewellery. Visão magazine has described him as a master jeweller.

He conceived, drew and refined every piece himself: rings, necklaces and bracelets in silver, set with precious and semi-precious stones. Years of living and working across different cultures shaped an aesthetic that blends Eastern and Western influences.

In the early 2010s he settled in Portugal, first in Faro and then in the historic town of Belmonte, where he opened his studio in the old town centre. He has spoken of his wish to pass his knowledge on to a new generation of makers.

Today, as the founder, owner and designer of Bassani’s, he brings a jeweller’s precision and eye for detail to every tile design.
