Ernesto Rinzi (1836-1909) was brought to London by the renowned jeweller Alessandro Castellani in the 1860s. Having started his own business, Rinzi advertised as a manufacturing goldsmith and jeweller and made several caskets in the Neo-Renaissance taste, one of which was presented to the Duke of Edinburgh. His creations are recognised as "artistic works in a very superior style", while his Renaissance style jewels are particularly rare, exhibiting fine enamel work.
