My hope is that her story and her philosophy can be an inspiration for all those who love jewelry and who hope that this can become part of their work.

Golden Women: Silvia Damiani Grassi

A few words about Damiani

Maison Damiani was founded in Valenza in 1924, in the heart of the goldsmith district considered the world's excellence for the production of jewelry, by Enrico Grassi.

This skilled master goldsmith and jeweler managed to combine his designs with his ability to produce jewelry, becoming the first Italian company able to design and create jewelry right from the start.

Who is Silvia Damiani Grassi?

After Enrico Damiani, it was his son Damiano Damiani who held the reins of what was becoming an increasingly important company on a global level. Silvia Grassi Damiani was his firstborn, born in 1966, who from a very young age dealt with pearls, gemology and communication. With her, her brothers Giorgio and Guido also contributed to the growth of the family business.

After Damiani Damiani's premature death, the management of the company, which had 200 employees, passed into the hands of his wife Gabriella and three children.

Today Gabriella Damiani is honorary president, her son Guido is President and CEO, while Silvia and Giorgio are both vice-presidents. Silvia, however, has continued to follow the communication of the Maison, one of its greatest strengths.

Curiosities and inspirations

Silvia Damiani Grassi was only 23 when she left for Japan to search for the most beautiful pearls. Raised on "bread and jewels", as she jokingly says, she had studies in gemology and a great specialization in the world of pearls

"Remember that you have three things that will take you far: instinct, determination and heart," was what her father told her and that the vice-president still remembers with affection. The one in Japan was her first assignment, difficult but long-awaited, to enter fully into the management world of the company.

The protection of Italian business has always been at the center of Silvia Damiani Grassi's work, who has chosen to give value to her femininity by using it as an incentive to always seek a meeting point.

A pink brand

Damiani is a 70% female company, where Silvia proudly emphasizes that the pink quota is equally distributed in the company pyramid, with equal salaries. A happy island, where not only the final product is precious, but also and above all what is behind it.

Silvia Damiani Grassi is not only an expert in the sector and an important contributor to the development of the family business, but also an example of female empowerment, in which a solid career is based primarily on passion and the ability to always encourage others. A woman who is never satisfied, but above all who remembers well the teaching left by her father and grandfather: having a good heart is the most important thing.

A woman to draw inspiration from, for her ability to go straight towards her goals without ever leaving emotions aside.

Maison Damiani is today one of the most important Made in Italy luxury jewelry companies in the world, appreciated by all the best connoisseurs. A starting point capable of giving us precious dreams, also thanks to Silvia's great passion.
