Jewelrista: Paolo, where do you find inspiration for new jewelry collections?
I draw my inspirations for my jewelry collections from my hometown of Florence, Italy, and the Tuscan region. My previous collections have been inspired from the vivid colors found in the Iris Garden in Florence, the warm colors of the Tuscan countryside and the beautiful blue and green colors of the Mediterranean sea.
Jewelrista: Which celebrity would you want to see wearing your designs?
I would have loved to see Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn wearing my jewels.
Jewelrista: Do you manage to sell your jewelry online as well? If so, how do you convince people to do so?
Yes, we sell our jewelry online on the Paolo Costagli website. Our clients appreciate Paolo Costagli jewels because of the high quality materials, craftsmanship and signature Paolo Costagli design found in each jewel.
Paolo Costagli’s designer jewelry is sold online, at his private by-appointment only showroom on Fifth Avenue in New York City and at luxury retailers, like Bergdorf Goodman.
