Rooted in Tradition, Inspired by Modernity
Valentina’s artistic journey began in the heart of the Italian fashion industry, where she was immersed in the world of style and craftsmanship. Her European roots ground her work in a tradition of excellence, while her heart has been shaped by the vibrant culture and lifestyle of Australia. This unique fusion of tradition and modernity is what defines Altra Jewellery — jewellery that speaks to the past while embracing the future.
For Valentina, jewellery is more than just an accessory; it’s a form of self-expression, a story of identity. But beyond that, it carries deep sentiment. Altra pieces are created with the belief that jewellery is timeless not only in design but in meaning — a symbol of cherished memories, passed down through generations, carrying stories, emotions, and connections.
A Unified Vision
In 2024, Chi Yusuf, a designer and furniture maker known for her traditional minimalist woodworking techniques and precise furniture, joined Altra Jewellery. She gives the brand its identity by amplifying its essence and weaving its vision and values into a compelling narrative. Enhancing the brand's identity and strategic vision, Chi ensures that Altra Jewellery remains true to its roots while evolving its story. With her broad perspective and ability to see the bigger picture, Altra Jewellery now has the framework it needs to grow beyond its roots.
Through the fusion of their talents, Valentina and Chi have taken Altra Jewellery to new heights, where every piece resonates with both exquisite beauty and profound significance.
Sustainable Craftsmanship for a Lifetime
Altra Jewellery is committed to sustainability, using responsibly sourced materials, including precious stones carefully selected for their unique qualities. Each piece is crafted to last a lifetime, embodying both strength and elegance, designed to be cherished for generations.
