When a workshop goes through forty years of history, at a certain point it feels the need to stop, breathe, and tell its story.
This is how the first book of Rubinia is born, a project that shares our journey and, at the same time, looks to the future of craftsmanship.
For a lifetime, we have created jewelry as bookmarks, small symbols that hold an emotion, a choice, a moment to remember.
Only the book was missing. Today it is finally here. Order your copy now, click here.
Why we created a book: the value of a story to pass on
The book is born for three reasons:
1. To preserve our identity: it tells who we are, where we come from, how our way of creating handmade jewelry has evolved, one by one, in the workshop.
2. To share Italian craftsmanship: it shows the value of “well-made,” of ethical gold, of the techniques that transform a vision into an object to wear every day.
3. To give something back to the community: the proceeds support Casa & Bottega, our social project that offers goldsmith training to people who desire a new beginning. Discover more info about the project.
Casa & Bottega: much more than a project, a concrete opportunity
Casa & Bottega is a fundamental part of the book.
It is the place where craftsmanship becomes a real opportunity: an open workshop, where people in difficulty can learn a trade and build a different future.
Every copy of the book helps make this path of growth, training, and rebirth possible.
What you will find inside the book
The book is designed as a visual and emotional journey through 40 years of Rubinia:
- the beginnings in Portofino and the arrival in the historic Via Vincenzo Monti in Milan
- the travels that inspired our creativity, from Italy to the world, among places and jewelers that sparked ideas, colors, materials, and visions
- the birth of iconic collections like Filodamore, Filodellavita, and Gioielli Secondo Natura
- the hands of goldsmiths, the techniques, the materials
- the stories that inspired our jewelry
- the connection with sustainability, fashion, and contemporary craftsmanship
- the social projects that over the years have defined the brand's philosophy
It is a book that unfolds like a Rubinia jewel: slow, intense, full of life.
A jewel can be a bookmark. A book can become a jewel.
Every ring, every knot, every thread tells something.
They are stories you have carried with you for years: loves, rebirths, achievements, precious moments.
The book was the missing piece.
An object that collects all these intertwined lives, and that holds the deepest meaning of Rubinia: giving shape to the moments that matter.
Where to buy it and why it is important to do so now
The book will soon be available for order online, in the Rubinia store in Milan, and at the jewelers who have chosen to join the project.
Choosing it means:
- supporting Italian craftsmanship
- supporting the Casa & Bottega project
- contributing to the growth of new goldsmiths and new stories
- bringing home an authentic piece of our history
It is a small gesture, but with a big impact—just like a handmade jewel.
An invitation to be part of our story
This book is not a celebration of the past.
It is a bridge to what we will become.
A way to thank those who have walked with us up to here… and those who will choose us tomorrow.
Because every life is made of pages.
And some deserve to be preserved.
