In the heart of Tuscany, nestled in the historic and artistic cradle of Carrara, a unique brand has emerged, redefining the world of accessories with an exquisite touch of Italian craftsmanship and modern innovation. This is Quinto Ego, a brand that encapsulates the dreams, artistry, and incomparable quality synonymous with Made in Italy.
Quinto Ego is a movement led by artists, artisans, and dreamers who interpret fashion through creations that convey deep emotions and elegance. Founded in 2011 by Nicola Bastreri and Matteo Squassoni, Quinto Ego embodies the spirit of the rich heritage of Carrara, renowned for its statuary marble and centuries-old tradition of goldsmith artistry.
Nicola Bastreri, a maestro chiseler who honed his craft under the tutelage of Luigi Crocetti, brings over two decades of expertise to Quinto Ego. His journey from apprentice to master craftsman reflects a commitment to excellence and tradition. Meanwhile, Matteo Squassoni, with his profound passion for fashion and textiles, infuses the brand with a creative vision that bridges the classic and the contemporary.
The brand’s accessories are expressions of dreams realized through the finest materials and cutting-edge techniques, and the dedication to continuous research and experimentation, particularly in the oxidation of silver, results in pieces that are both modern and deeply rooted in traditional goldsmithing.
This fusion of past and present gives rise to what Quinto Ego proudly calls Metropolitan Jewelry. These are unique pieces designed for those who dare to dream, blending urban sophistication with handcrafted art.
Quinto Ego was born from the principle of democratizing jewelry, making exquisite craftsmanship accessible to all. The journey from gold to silver, and from precious stones to semi-precious gems like onyx and citrine, exemplifies this mission. Despite these changes, the commitment to skillful goldsmithing remains unwavering, ensuring that every piece retains the hallmark of Italian excellence.
Each jewel is handcrafted in Italy, a labor of love that takes over eight hours to complete. The process involves highly skilled artisans, from engravers to gem cutters, all trained in the principles of true Italian craftsmanship. This dedication to quality ensures that the creations of Quinto Ego not only meet but exceed the highest expectations.
Since its inception, Quinto Ego has been on a trajectory of creativity and expansion. With the creation of its own brand, the company has embraced a new creative vision, opening stores worldwide and transferring its philosophy and style across the globe. Under the creative direction of Matteo Squassoni, Quinto Ego continues to push the boundaries of innovation, offering a lifestyle brand that resonates with modern men and women seeking excellence and authenticity.
As Quinto Ego looks to the future, it remains dedicated to its mission of becoming a lifestyle brand in the accessories market. The brand aims to offer desirable, excellent products that express Italian excellence with a modern twist and international flair. Quinto Ego is committed to making a positive impact on people’s lives through conscious consumption, innovative design, and exceptional service.
In every piece of Quinto Ego jewelry, there is a dialogue between creativity and vision, present and future. It is a commitment to turning ideas into reality and dreams into instruments of beauty and expression. Quinto Ego is not just about jewelry; it is about creating unique pieces that inspire and captivate, crafted with the soul of Italian artistry and the spirit of modern innovation.
Quinto Ego invites you to dream, to explore, and to embrace the art of metropolitan jewelry. Because in every dream, there is a piece of Quinto Ego waiting to be discovered.
