Small and independently owned, BOTTEGGA AZZURRA is an advocate of creativity in fashion jewelry, creating all handmade, class not mass products. For us, jewelry, is not about creating sculptural or architectural pieces. From the signature collections to exclusive collaborations and bespoke creations, it's about making women beautiful. Our collections are focused on aesthetics with careful selection of materials and high end craftsmanship. We use selected, high quality leather remains, so called "leather scraps" from fashion industry in Italy. By-product from the food industry. All BOTTEGGA AZZURRA jewelry collections are handmade in Ilina's studio workshop in Skopje by herself, previous highly experienced designer in handmade filigree jewelry design and making.
