Valentina Leardi is an Italian jewelry designer and creative director whose work centers on color and the expressive character of gemstones. Her connection to jewelry is rooted in family history. Her grandfather, Angelo Leardi, was a watchmaker and jeweler who owned a boutique in Milan from 1945 to 1963, where he trained her father, Maurizio, as a goldsmith and watchmaker.
Although Maurizio later followed a career that took him around the world, his passion for jewelry and watches remained constant and was passed down to Valentina. While the original Leardi boutique no longer exists, its spirit continues through a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, gemstones, and the culture of jewelry.
Influenced by travel, art, and a curiosity for unusual stones, she sources gemstones and builds designs around their individuality. Each jewel is conceived as a collectible object meant to be worn, cherished, and kept over time.
Valentina Leardi works internationally between Milan and Warsaw.
