Milanese Brilliance: Inside the World of Marco Valente High Jewelry

For Milanese designer Marco Valente, diamonds are far more than precious stones—they are a language, a legacy, and the essence of a lifelong vocation. Raised within the atelier founded by his father Tranquillo in 1953, Valente absorbed the discipline, refinement, and artistry that define true Italian craftsmanship. In 2020, this heritage took shape as Marco Valente High Jewelry, a maison that unites family tradition with contemporary vision: diamond mastery, research, Milanese design, refined engineering, and a profoundly feminine elegance.

At the core of the house lies an uncompromising devotion to the world’s most exceptional diamonds. Each jewel is crafted around stones meticulously selected for their cut, proportions, and symmetry—primarily Triple Excellent and in the pure D–E–F color range. Sourced from a single producer, these diamonds embody complete traceability and full social responsibility. Their quality is further guaranteed by Gemological Institute of America certification for stones of 0.40 carats and above.

Marco Valente’s creations are conceived to transcend time. They celebrate life’s most significant moments and become heirlooms carried through generations. The maison’s signature aesthetic—light, luminous, balanced, effortlessly elegant—reveals the innate purity of the diamond while ensuring extraordinary comfort and fluidity. Here, neoclassical inspiration blends seamlessly with Milan’s minimalist sophistication and advanced engineering, resulting in transformable and modular designs that offer multiple ways of wearing and interpreting each piece.

Timeless and free from passing trends, the brand places the client at the heart of every creation. It offers individuality, exclusivity, and the freedom to compose a personal narrative through intergenerational collections. The world of Marco Valente High Jewelry unfolds through five distinctive lines—High Jewellery, Stretch, Bridal, Signature, and Candies—each expressing a shared vision: pure forms, impeccable balance, and the brilliance of the finest diamonds. Unique pieces and bespoke creations further reflect the house’s spiritual reverence for precision and beauty.

The maison’s headquarters, situated in the historic center of Milan opposite Piazza Affari, symbolize the deep connection between the Valente family and the city that shaped their aesthetic. From here, a dedicated team supports a global clientele, cultivating a sophisticated and borderless vision that resonates with connoisseurs of rare and extraordinary gems.

Through his delicate yet daring architectures, Marco Valente places the diamond once more at the center of creation—whether solitary or arranged in radiant compositions—honoring and elevating the family legacy with a passionate, uncompromising pursuit of perfection.
