Poetics

Jewellery from Atelier VM materializes the intangible gifts of life. Once worn, these jewels grow with us, taking the shape of our fingers, wrists and necks. Seasonality is less important to the brand than making sense of an era. An Atelier VM design is at the same time something ethereal and something solid, a symbol that stays with you. This is our little alchemical secret.

HISTORY

Atelier VM’s romantic minimalism is born out of a promise: that of not adding anything superfluous to the world. In 1998, Marta Caffarelli and Viola Naj Oleari founded their atelier. The first commissions came from Barneys New York where their subtle style was an immediate success. In 2002 they opened their first boutique in Milan in the charming Piazza Sant’Eustorgio, and five years later they moved to Via Cesare Correnti in the city’s Cinque Vie district. Thus began a period of growth, of journeys and discovery and chance encounters.

The wandering, yet determined spirit of the minds behind the brand gave them the strength to overcome not one but two economic crises. In the spring of 2014, Atelier VM launched L’Essenziale, the first bracelet in the history of jewelry-making, welded directly onto the body. L’Essenziale, a concept as much as an ornament, has transformed the classical canons of goldsmithery. This indelible object, which welds our relationships directly onto our wrists through a gold thread, is already an iconic design.

GOLDSMITHERY

Inside Atelier VM’s workshop, each step in the making of a piece of jewellery, from its design to its packaging, is meticulously curated and made in Italy. Handmade elements are always present throughout the process of creating these minimalist and unique designs. After completing their studies in Industrial Design and Goldsmithery, Viola and Marta opened their first atelier, designing and making jewellery by hand. Passionate and curious, over time, they acquired a deep knowledge and appreciation of Italy’s artisanal traditions. Together, they found sophisticated craftsmen and craftswomen with whom they worked and created VM’s distinct and delicate aesthetic. Goldsmiths, cabinetmakers, engravers, stone cutters and weavers are just some of the artisans with whom Atelier VM has built long-lasting relationships and developed an innovative goldsmithery in line with their distinctive designs: jewellery that is ethereal and subtle, yet solid and profound. The favourite material used by Atelier VM is 18kt and 9kt ethical gold. In addition, careful research and attention has been devoted to sourcing precious and semi precious stones from specialized and certified businesses, as well as to the selection of the most delicate chains, another distinctive aspect of the brand.
