Χρυσοχόοι: Firenze

Florence’s goldsmiths have been on the Ponte Vecchio since 1593, when Grand Duke Ferdinando I reserved the shops on the bridge for goldsmiths and silversmiths; some still show their workshop through the window. Across the river, the Oltrarno between Santo Spirito and San Frediano is the quarter of artisan workshops. Many Florentine goldsmiths work to measure, with techniques such as engraving and hand piercing. Through Lujoro you commission a piece with protected payment.
