We genuinely believe that each woman is unique, and for that, each piece of jewellery should reflect so. To this, we consider “customizing” our vocation toward jewellery.  

Every piece and accessory created includes a story, a vision, and a dream; we do not focus only on the history of Italy, but we aim to envision the beauty of the world.  We have travelled to fascinating places to learn how to assemble the most eclectic creations.

From the Italian Gardens to the Hi-Tech structures of the UAE, we believe that each site offers an exclusive aesthetic ready to be re-interpreted 

The inspirations of La Prima Gioielli come under many shapes, but they are of Cosmopolitan origin and of more importance created for the urgency of being " Surrounded by beauty."

Our Family is a unique family that works on two essential principles: Instinct and Passion for Jewellery. 

From the Italian root, we have been influenced by the elegance of the Arabic word and the royalty of the Anglo-Saxon ones, creating a strong desire in us to reflect world diversification and beauty in our jewels. 

The art created by our Family, originally from Vicenza, a city worldwide recognized for being the pole of High jewellery creation and for being the city of the Palladio Architecture, are worn all around the world for more than 50 years. 

The love for high-end and Jewellery is transmitted from generation to generation, creating a true "inheritance" that brings with it instinct and experience.

Ms Jessica Arfa our CEO and Creative Designer is now taking the company to further success and she is leading this mission to more ambitious peaks further than ever.
