Elegance and design, strength and lightness in Gualti’s jewels

A cabinet of wonder in the heart of Venice, campo Santa Margherita, Gualti’s world is an emotional white space, where the eye of the visitor wanders through chromatic harmonies and gets the feeling that the creations on display are so light that they literally float in the air.

Gualti is the pseudonym of Gualtiero Salbego. He is a forty-eight years old Venetian by adoption who has spent his childhood and adolescence in a country town near Padua. There, he used to spend hours contemplating the details of nature, made of micro movements, imperceptible growths, shades, whispers, and silent sways. Small fossils, branches of shrubs, stones, and especially roots, became for Gualti the anthropomorphic forms of nature that fascinate him, and that he allows to settle in his memory.

Today, the memory of the slow pulse of rural life combined with an ever-growing creative ferment have led Gualti to create jewels with an unmistakable style, contemporary creations in which the only inanimate aspect is the material they are made of. Nylon, synthetic resins, aluminum fragments, acrylic, and glass intertwine, merge and become brooches, rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, tiaras, all unique pieces that Gualti himself likes to define as “timeless architecture,” elegant and graceful.

His creative impetus does not stop with accessories but it even gives life to fabrics. Like a chrysalis cocoon, taffeta, silk, organza, and boiled wool take the shapes of scarves, stoles, and jackets which envelop those who wear them, with an elegance of great impact.

Wearing a Gualti accessory means being in tune with an ethereal dimension in which profound artistic impulses have merged with the observation of the natural world in its most harmonious and delicate aspects. The result is a precious and one-of-a-kind object. When worn, it gives the impression of a sudden brightness, like a puff of light that cheers you up.

From the atelier of S. Margherita to the world, Gualti’s creations cross the oceans and shows beautifully on the necks of musicians and opera singers, illuminating the gaze of the fascinating women who carry a piece of Venice with them.

Opening hours: Monday to Saturday 10.00am – 1.00pm and 3.00pm – 7.00pm. Closed on Sundays.
