Catalogue Note
Repossi is renowned for the high quality of its gemstones and workmanship. The Repossi firm was founded by Constantino Repossi in Turin, Italy in 1947 and was later run by his son Alberto. Alberto was initiated into the family business at a young age, working in his father's workshop and then going on to travel the world in search of precious stones. In 1977 he opened up his first shop abroad in Monte Carlo, and in 1994 Repossi was selected to be the official supplier to HSH Prince Rainier III of Monaco. Today the main Repossi boutiques can be found in Paris and Monaco, with many other retail outlets worldwide.
