Jewelery in silk and cameos

The contemporary design jewels of the Mia Campania capsule

The silks of San Leucio, a small village near Caserta, stand out from all the others because they are made with a production method - and following a very rich iconographic heritage - which dates back to the end of the eighteenth century. Ferdinand IV of Bourbon transformed a hunting lodge into the Royal Belvedere Palace where the first experiment in social economy was born: the Royal colony of San Leucio.

Ancient royal silks

Here, silks were produced so precious that they were in demand in all European courts. The palaces of Naples, Caserta and Versailles in the eighteenth century and Buckingham Palace, the White House, the Quirinale and Palazzo Chigi today, passing through all the great aristocratic and luxury residences in the world, are furnished with fabrics that come from the looms of the province of Caserta.

Sumptuous lampas and brocades in vivid shades of blue, green and yellow together with passionate crimson damasks accompanied by diaphanous shades of ivory. The baroque floral patterns bring the spring of the lush gardens into the interior design, gold and silver threads embellish the rooms, imparting the chrism of luxury declined according to the refined taste of an era that has made a lifestyle of the search for beauty.
