Whims – Who we are

Capricci Gemstones was born from Francesca and Gianpietro's great passion for the world of handcrafted jewelery and rare gems.

Our story begins in 1982, when Francesca's parents decide to found Capricci House of the Necklace , the first shop specializing in precious stones in Bergamo.

Right from the start Francesca stood out for the creation of unique handcrafted jewels and, after meeting Gianpietro, she shared his passion for minerals and precious stones, until in 1996 it became the driving force of the family business : thus Capricci Gemstones was born, a brand specialized in the sale of rare and collectible gems.

The network of international suppliers allows us to identify and select only the best gems on the market; moreover, constant research and participation in the most important fairs in Italy and Europe have consolidated the reputation of Capricci Gemstones at an international level.

We have always considered transparency as one of the fundamental values on which our business is based; for this reason all our gems are individually packaged and accompanied by detailed information, including name, weight, origin and sale price (both on eCommerce and at the fair). Each gem is supplied with its technical data sheet and, upon request or if available, with a certificate of authenticity and gemology issued by the Italian Gemmological Institute (IGI) .

We are proud to offer our customers high quality products, personalized service and the guarantee of a transparent and reliable transaction.

Thank you for choosing Capricci Gemstones.
