Margherita Burgener ABOUT Emanuela Burgener, the designer under the brand name MARGHERITA BURGENER, has a unique story. Her childhood and youth were spent surrounded by nature and its silence. After her studies and working experience in Hotellerie and Tourism, in the ‘90s she moved to Valenza, the home of Italian high end jewellery, and began working for Damiani Group. She also spent time in the workshop of her future husband, where she developed a love of precious stones and jewellery design. Following her instincts, she enrolled in gemmology and goldsmithing courses. In 2003 she created her first pieces of jewellery under her surname BURGENER and the name of her eldest daughter, MARGHERITA. It was the official beginning of the adventure. The first pieces were sold at auction by Phillips de Pury in Geneva (today named Phillips), to be followed by Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Artcurial, Poly Hong Kong, Adam’s and Hotel des Ventes Monaco. The philosophy behind them is always uniqueness, design and uncompromised quality. In 2011 the limited edition Every Day Chic collection made its debut. As time went by, requests increased for the spectacular, one-off “custom made” pieces Emanuela creates for Italian and international customers. Nowadays, she repeats the ancient gestures of craftsmen and their increasingly rare, valuable skills with undiminished passion in the family Italian workshop, supporting the value of the highest Made in Italy artisanal know how and work.
