Marco Venier e Davide Visentin

Venice has a rich history of goldsmithing, with artisans known as orefici crafting intricate pieces blending Byzantine, Islamic, and Western influences into sophisticated designs.

Laberintho, the creative goldsmith’s workshop founded by friends Marco Venier and Davide Visentin in 1994 in San Polo, continues this tradition. It has become a vibrant forge of creativity and craftsmanship, aiming to rewrite the rules of contemporary jewelry. Deeply rooted in history yet embracing the exotic, Marco and Davide reinterpret ancient materials selected for their uniqueness and beauty. Noble metals like gold and silver, along with gemstones, are transformed into stunning one-of-a-kind pieces that seamlessly combine diverse materials, Venetian accents—think of mosaics and stone—and everyday elegance.

Marco and Davide’s philosophy is that jewelry should evoke a journey through time and culture. Their collections—spanning Classic, Contemporary, Mosaic, Ethnic, Blown Glass, and Skulls—reflect this vision. Their designs often juxtapose the old with the modern, pairing ancient seals and geometric shapes with elements like blown glass, ebony, amber, and turquoise. Striking combinations, such as black coral with fossil agates or carnelians with lapis lazuli, further embody their approach.
