A Forge of Light and Innovation
For centuries, Venice stood as one of the world’s foremost crossroads for gemstones, craftsmanship, and decorative arts. Precious stones from distant lands flowed through the Serenissima, nurturing a tradition shaped by fine workmanship, intricate gem-setting, and the pursuit of light as a form of artistic expression. Arsenale Moissanite draws inspiration from this heritage, reinterpreting it through the use of lab-grown baguette-cut moissanites, selected for their contemporary geometry and their seamless integration with the design of the case and bracelet.
Baguette-Cut Moissanite
Moissanite is a gemstone renowned for its exceptional brilliance and ability to refract light. With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, it is one of the most durable gems used in jewelry, second only to diamond. For Arsenale Moissanite, we selected lab-grown baguette-cut stones, an essential and contemporary shape distinguished by clean lines and elongated surfaces. Unlike more traditional cuts, the baguette creates reflections that are more controlled and architectural.
The Art of Gem Setting & Craftsmanship
Arsenale Moissanite was born from the collaboration with Davide Cestonaro, a master goldsmith from the Vicenza school with more than forty years of experience. Gem setting represents one of the most delicate aspects of jewelry craftsmanship: a balance of technical precision, proportion, and control of light. Each moissanite is individually positioned and secured by hand to ensure uniformity, alignment, and continuity across the entire surface of the bezel and dial.
Compact Proportions
Arsenale 37 echoes the collection's architecture in a more compact size. The 37 mm case is designed to fit a wider range of wrists, maintaining the model's balance and distinctive lines. The integrated Canova Concept™ bracelet follows the continuity of the case, creating a harmonious silhouette that combines elegance and versatility.
