If you're in the market for beautiful gold jewelry, this is the place!! The two sisters who own…read morethe store are charming and knowledgeable. I bought a beautiful 18k gold bracelet for, what I later found in the States, was a very good price. Since I did not have time to wait for it to be shortened, the sisters gave me a compensating discount that turned out to be more than the cost of the repair in the US. My jeweler here was astounded at the quality and workmanship. So, if ever you are in Lucca, Oreficeria Rafaelli is a must-stop shop!

Towards the end of a 3 week trip exploring more of Italy I was feeling pretty jaded about how much…read moretourist crap and how many chain stores I was running into no matter the town. It was tough to find unique stores that weren't hocking the same old thing. During a visit to Lucca I was thrilled to find this shop where I met the owner/talented artist, Alessandro. No, I'm not suddenly into Harley Davidsons, skulls, daggers, grenades, or even winged hearts, what I am into is ART! Beautiful handcrafted original wearable art. Upon first look you might only see the outlaw vibe, look further and discover the hidden gems that I fell in love with. I love silver jewelry, add some ebony, a ruby, or an interesting design and I'm going to take a look. I stepped through the doors and spent the next 30 minutes oohing, aahing and chatting about Italy, Los Angeles, Portland, the world, grown up kids and creativity. I fell in love with a female face carved in ebony and set in a ring designed with silver flowing hair. I didn't even try it on because it just wouldn't look good on me but if it was a pendant hanging on a silver chain she would have been mine. Instead, I selected a simple bracelet to grace my wrist. I will always have just a tiny bit of Lucca and Alessandro with me wherever my travels take me. I highly recommend you visit too.
