The jewellery house Sabbadini was founded in 1940 in Milan by Bruno Sabbadini, and concentrated on trading in high quality gemstones. He was joined by his son Alberto and daughter-in-law Stafania, and later his grandson Pierandrea, and they began creating fine jewellery. In 1983 they opened a second showroom in New York, and organise annual shows in other prestigious locations around the world.

The firm pride themselves on the purity of their designs and their highly original juxtaposition of precious and semi-precious stones.
