Ornella Bijoux is a small craft company founded in Milan in 1944 by Piera Albani. The activity continued through the talent of Piera’s daughter Maria Vittoria and today is managed by her granddaughter Simona Scala, the third generation. The atelier creates vintage and contemporary jewellery in original compositions of metal and Venetian stones, hand-painted ceramics, crystals, beads and shells but also in enamel, cord, leather and feathers used with great liberty, elegance and balance. The atelier has collaborated with many leading fashion houses such as Celine, Swarovski, and Dolce & Gabbana. In 2000 Ornella Bijoux was listed by the Municipality of Milan as one of the city’s Historical Workshops. Maria Vittoria Albani was also awarded the accolade MAM – Maestro d’Arte e Mestiere.
