STUDIO & GALLERY

A Modern Italian Bottega in Menlo Park

Davide Bigazzi Studio is a working jewelry studio and gallery rooted in the traditions of Florence, Italy.

Founded by Florentine jeweler and metalsmith Davide Bigazzi and his wife, Elisa, the studio brings together handcrafted jewelry, traditional metalsmithing, teaching, and a carefully curated gallery—all under one roof.

Step inside and you'll find a place where making is part of everyday life. The sounds of hammers, files, saws, and torches fill the studio as Davide and his students work at the bench, carrying forward techniques that have been practiced by generations of Italian artisans.

THE STUDIO

At the heart of the space is Davide's working studio.

This is where he designs and creates his jewelry and metalwork, using traditional hand techniques alongside a contemporary approach to design. His work is deeply influenced by his Florentine roots and the artistic traditions of his hometown.

Visitors can see the tools, materials, and processes behind the finished pieces and experience the atmosphere of a working Italian bottega—a place where craftsmanship is not simply displayed, but practiced every day.

THE GALLERY

Our gallery showcases Davide's handcrafted jewelry, hollowware, and one-of-a-kind metalwork, along with a selection of pieces from other makers.

From finely detailed jewelry to sculptural objects, the collection reflects a love of thoughtful design, beautiful materials, and work made by hand.

The gallery offers the opportunity to see Davide's work in person, discover something ready to take home, or begin a conversation about a custom piece.

CUSTOM JEWELRY

Some pieces begin with an idea.

Davide creates custom jewelry within his distinctive style and approach to craftsmanship, working with clients to develop something personal and lasting.

Whether creating an entirely new piece or reimagining a meaningful family heirloom, each project is considered individually and made with care in the studio.

LEARN AT THE BENCH

The studio is also a place for learning.

Davide offers jewelry and metalsmithing classes throughout the week, as well as specialized workshops in traditional techniques including chasing and repoussé.

Classes are intentionally small, with a maximum of five students, allowing Davide to work individually with each person while students develop projects suited to their own interests, experience, and pace.

THE ITALIAN CONNECTION

Florence has always been at the heart of Davide's work.

His training, his approach to making, and his appreciation for traditional craftsmanship were shaped there. Today, he continues to practice and share those traditions at his California studio and with students in both the United States and Italy.
