For a fun and contemporary interpretation of nature, express yourself with a wild bangle by PIERINO FRASCAROLO.
Pierino Frascarolo was born in 1928 in Milan. He began his career as an apprentice with the Fratelli Lunati company. Subsequently, he founded his own
firm with partner Aldo Lenti. In 1948 he moved his jewellery factory to Corso Matteotti. He is well-known for his enamel and gold animals created
throughout the 1960’s. Later Lenti and Frascarolo separated and the latter formed Frascarolo & Co. in New York City with Mr. Adriano Gugliada.
Frascarolo died in Valenza in July 1976 at the young age of 48.
LET’S BROOCH THE SUBJECT
Stealing the starlight, Michelle Obama, has caused a

the perfect accessory to bring an outfit together making it the
ultimate must-have this season. Looks like the first lady has
had the last word…
ALSO STARRING…

traditional aesthetic of a rectangular cut diamond to a more
contemporary clustered ‘bombe’ ring, you can jazz up any outfit
with a small constellation of sparkling stones.
