For centuries Italian jewellers have been inspired to create precious chains to satisfy men’s primordial desire of adornment. A link, that between Italy and chains, that takes us straight to Arezzo, one of Tuscany’s finest gems and home to countless goldsmiths and chain makers.
This is were Gianfranco Ceccarelli started back in 1973 with the production of handmade gold and silver chains. His business took off quickly and soon expanded from local to international markets. Today, his legacy is carried on by his children who put drive, passion and commitment into the design and production of top-quality modern luxuries.
Ceccarelli Jewels was born to shake the grounds of old-school jewellers, making luxury possible for any occasion and everyday wear. Constantly reinventing rules and shapes, Ceccarelli’s designs bring classics to a whole new life. This is the case of their flagship product: the famous anchor chain, a true landmark of fashion jewellery.
Also called “marine chain”, “Gucci chain” or “grain de café”, the anchor chain gets its name from the nautical realm as its design resembles the chain that attaches the anchor to the boat. The anchor chain features interlocking oval links with a vertical bar in the middle of each link. Aestethically exquisite, this chain is one of the most durable existing metal strings, so strong that will last a lifetime.
From the very beginning, Ceccarelli Jewels has been a brand committed to delivering top-quality products made of ethically-sourced gold and silver. Our metal comes from internationally certified suppliers able to prove all workers involved in the sourcing process are working under full respect of human rights and safety policies.
Carrying out ethical jewellery production not only involves the traceability of raw materials but it also means each one of our jewels is certified as free from illegal substances and allergens.
Concerning sustainability, we do acknowledge gold mining always has some kind of environmental impact. This is why we endeavour to minimize the impact where feasible by using recycled metals provided by verified suppliers.
We strongly believe in supporting the amazing abilities of local gold artisans and to help them develop their skills. For this reason, we take part in many valuable training projects.
