Master goldsmiths

The original “dorica”

“Doriche” are like notes in music – their composition is what generates harmonious melodies. When our master craftspeople handle them they create fine textures, sophisticated gold embroideries that characterise the attractive D’orica collections.

Hand-crafted skills and increasingly innovative technology come together in our workshop to create truly unique jewellery. Incomparable shine, precision and originality.

This is our secret.

A brilliant
process

The production process begins by working the raw material: gold. It is melted and transformed into long thin sheets, which are then processed further and transformed into small golden spheres. The “dorica” has seventy-two facets that all have to be skilfully crafted to give the jewellery its iconic shine. This process, known a diamond cutting, has led D’orica to be appreciated all over the world.

Furthermore, in order to avoid waste, we have developed technology that enables us to suction up the waste gold and reuse it. The precision and commitment we devote to these processes enable us to make top-quality products.

Jewellery that reflects different personalities

We describe ourselves as “tailors of gold” because we are able to adapt the style of our jewellery to meet the needs of each individual customer. We can customise every piece of jewellery by changing or combining certain elements in different ways, adapting the product to the aesthetic canons of different markets. We are able to guarantee this very high level of customisation thanks to the fact that we produce everything internally.

We currently produce 8, 9, 10, 14, 18, 21 and 22-karat jewellery, selected on the basis of the requirements of the reference market. We can change the traditional colours of the gold by adapting the hues and even offering more innovative variants, such as black, chocolate, blue and more. Thanks to the versatility of our laser machines, we can create elements with different shapes and sizes, and we can also vary the engravings.

Giving our jewellery a heart and soul of its own

D’orica jewellery comes to life thanks to the creative sensibility of Daniela Raccanello. She has an innate talent, deriving from her passion for sewing as a young girl. Using a needle and gold thread she forges a wide variety of models, comprised of beautiful interweavings that recall the lace of Venice, where she was born.

We then progress from the idea to the development stage. Driven by free inspiration, our master craftspeople work the gold with the curiosity of those with a thorough knowledge of its finest properties who want to discover more.

We always handle this ductile and precious metal with respect and admiration: an exercise in sensibility and professionalism that materialises in brilliant interplays of colour and light. We work with our hands and our hearts, which is why we are proud to state that “we give your jewellery a heart and soul of its own”.

Internal production and integrated supply chain

From melting to casting, from diamond-polishing to galvanization, from assembly to shipment: every step of the process takes place inside our company. Only a 100% internal production chain can ensure control over every tiny detail and guarantee the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

  Better service and prompt responses

  Our flexible production line enables us to optimise the times of each processing stage, making us more precise and efficient.

The machinery and equipment used in our workshop are Italian made, featuring technology developed in the gold-working districts. Of course, gold, the raw material used in our jewellery, always has to come from foreign sources. D’orica is committing to ensuring that it comes from traceable and certified supply chains.

It therefore guarantees the traceability of the production chain and total transparency regarding the origin of the production process.

Patents and technological solutions

Over the years we have always protected our originality by filing numerous patents. They cover the production methods used for our jewellery as well as certain aspects of the production processes.

D’orica is the first company in the gold-working sector to use a digital authentication system with Certilogo, a platform that checks the authenticity of the products thanks to artificial intelligence. In order to protect our work and guarantee the experience of those who purchase it, every D’orica product has a Certilogo code on the clasps or on the instructions label, which can be checked on the certilogo.com platform.

We add our signature

Our customers have an additional guarantee of the jewellery’s authenticity thanks to the characteristic decagonal clasp, which is also patented. We use a laser machine to engrave the gold with our logo, further customising our jewellery and enhancing it with a unique and beautiful lock. This makes our pieces even more exclusive, while also maintaining complete control over every single component that we assemble.
