7 pieces from Corrado Giuspino
The Italian designer creates 18-karat and sterling silver pieces that are gemstone-heavy, offering big bursts of color.
When it comes to designing jewelry, Italian designer Corrado Giuspino draws influence from the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s, as well as the Asian countries where he sources the pearl, jade, onyx and other stones with which he works.
Made in 18-karat gold or sterling silver—or a combination of both—Giuspino’s pieces are gemstone and jade heavy, offering big, bold bursts of color.
He is based in the waterfront city of Olbia on the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, Sardinia.
