Gioielleria Eredi Jovon, Venice

When searching for hand crafted Venetian Cameo jewelry this store was on my list before I left the US. The personal service and craftsmanship is hard to find these days. This store and the family who own it are amazing. You won’t be disappointed! Shop here first!!!!

I had the most wonderful experience at this incredible Jewelry store. I came in to get a modification made to a very special charm that means a lot to me. This is not “worthwhile” work for the store as it is fine work and will not make them much money. But instead of turning me away like everyone else, out of the goodness of their hearts they made the attachment and now I can wear the charm around my neck. While I was there waiting I was able to chat to the owners and learn about this history of the store. Its so incredible and special, and at risk of being lost. As a community of travelers coming to these store owners homes in Venice, it’s important that we spend money at this store to help protect and preserve the history, knowledge and craft of jewelry making that they learnt from their grandfather, Jovon who opened the store in 1934. This is more than shopping, its political and it’s helping preserve Italian history. I work in Agriculture and see the same risk of lost knowledge if customers are not willing to vote with their dollar. We are also losing a culture of stone milled flour, and like this jewelry shop it is more important than ever to support hand made artisan products that are authenticated by tradition. If not, we, all of us, all over the world, will lose our sovereignty and be slaves to global companies such as Amazon. Small decisions count. So please when in Venice spend some money on a gift at this shop that will save history and last you a life time. You’ll have a great time in the store too. Incredible experience, thanks guys xxx
