Best known as the birthplace of St. Francis, Italy's patron saint, Assisi lies amid Umbria's rolling hills. Religious pilgrims have come here for centuries to visit the Basilica of San Francesco (where St. Francis is buried) and the Basilica of Santa Chiara (to see the tomb of St. Clare). Visit the Eremo delle Carceri to see caves where medieval hermits withdrew from the world. (You may find such solitude quite appealing—especially if you're here on a daytrip from Rome!)

Ancient origins and modern ideas. IN 1973 Franco Baldini realized a dream. In the founding of Assisi Jewels his vision of offering handcrafted pieces with a modern touch became a reality. Following these principles of creativity, innovation and craftsmanship, Assisi Jewels continues to flourish now under the guidance of Fausto, son of Franco. Our focus is on the noble metals such as gold and silver and on handcrafted materials. Our careful research of the latest advances in materials and techniques continues to ensure that Assisi Jewels leads the industry both in Italy and abroad.
My family has purchased a few beautiful items from Assisi Jewels over the past several years and have always been satisfied with their customer service. A small piece on one of the bracelets we purchased needed repair. We easily contacted them this past February via email to request help. We were provided with pick up delivery (for a small fee) of the bracelet from our home in the US back to them in Assisi. Needless to say, with COVID and quarantines happening in both countries as our bracelet made its way to Italy, we were not optimistic in its return to us. Assisi Jewels kept in contact with us throughout these last several months and today, the beautifully repaired bracelet arrived at our home. It looks perfect - you cannot even tell where the repair had been made. We recommend them to all for their beautiful jewelry and outstanding customer service. Not all could have done what they did during such difficult circumstances. We cannot wait to visit and purchase again from them!
