Roberto's partner, Amedeo Scognamiglio, is not new to the jewelry business. His family has been creating handmade cameos since 1857, in Torre del Greco - at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. By the age of sixteen, he had mastered the art of hand-carving cameos, becoming the lead designer for his family's namesake company, M+M Scognamiglio.
Faraone Mennella Gold Twisted-Eight Bracelet
Bold, twisted loops of 18k gold.
After graduating from the University of Napoli in 1995, Amedeo Scognamiglio moved to NYC where he launched his first signature Cameo Collection. Today, he is a recognized authority in handmade Cameos and a passionate carver, who likes to spend his free time at the bench creating new pieces, exclusively available at his chic NYC boutique AMEDEO.
Faraone Mennella Diamond and Blue Topaz Earrings
These elegant Faraone Mennella earrings feature cool blue topaz warmed by luxe 18k yellow gold sparkling with diamond accents. Total diamond weight: .14 carat. Approx. dimensions: 3/4"L with 1" drop.
In Spring 2001, Amedeo and Roberto - longtime friends - decided to merge their experiences and education to design a Jewelry Collection that would best reflect their background, generation, and artistic vision. It took very little time to realize, during a coffee break in a Starbuck's Coffee, in NYC's 8th Avenue, that the Collection they both had in mind was already born.
Today, FARAONE MENNELLA by R.F.M.A.S. is one of the most celebrated fine jewelry collections, extolled by the fashion press and distributed in the most glamorous boutiques and specialty stores around the world. Roberto and Amedeo have created iconic pieces for movies like The Devil Wears Prada, Perfect Stranger, and Sex and the City, and TV Shows such as Will & Grace and Lipstick Jungle. And they collaborated with American fashion icon Carolina Herrera on an exclusive collection of couture jewels only sold in Carolina Herrera boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas.
Fans and devotees of the Italian designers' creations include some of the most elegant and powerful women in the world, such as Oprah Winfrey, Paula Zahn, Carolina Herrera, Nina Griscom, Olivia Chantecaille, Raquel Welch, and Pamela Fiori. But their gratitude goes also to all the beautiful and chic ladies who collect their pieces season after season, and have made FARAONE MENNELLA an international success.See full article.
