With French origins and Roman roots, Federico Gauttieri grew up immersed in the private schools and gala dinners that were infused in the daily life of the noble family into which he was born. The strict upbringing of his grandfather, the eccentricity of his aunts and the art of his mother were the elements that forged his ideas and talents, surrounded by discipline and the ceramic vases that he sculpted in the family kitchen as a child and that still decorate the family home today. As a source of inspiration, Rome is as eternal as its renowned beauty. Federico loses himself in that beauty as he wanders the city on Sunday mornings, searching for ancient memories hidden in the history around Villa Borghese.

The birth of the Casato brand was triggered by a creative spark in the 1990s. When a meeting with two friends who worked in the jewelry industry brought Federico Gauttieri to collide into the world of gold crafting and rekindle his old talent, his future changed from that of lawyer to creative entrepreneur. Federico Gauttieri developed his brand like a tree growing along the route from Rome to Milan, with its roots deep in the Roman Dolce Vita and its branches wisely reaching out towards Milan, a city open to change and constant challenge.

The dragonfly is the leitmotif of every signature Casato creation. This flying insect that inhabits both the real world and the world of ancient fairy tales was chosen by Casato as a metaphor for transformation. Dragonflies are extremely light but they’re unstoppable in their conquest of freedom - a symbol of authentic, gentle strength.

Casato jewellery sets exclusively natural stones. This meticulous selection is a cornerstone of the brand's production identity and values. Federico Gauttieri, besides being CEO and designer of the brand, is also an expert gemmologist and has been able to develop reliable relationships with gemstone suppliers from all over the world, thus guaranteeing the end consumer high quality standards.

Diamonds are the protagonists of the Casato collections. The brand adheres to the ethical principles of the Kimberley Process and guarantees that the entire production chain of diamonds for sale, right from the extraction of the precious stones, is controlled and certified to guarantee full respect for rights. Human dignity, human dignity and the environment. The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS or KP) is the international protocol, produced by the UN and the governments of the countries involved, which binds members to achieve a series of transparency requirements with strict controls at the origin to prevent the placing on the market of precious stones that are not legal and certified. The 4cs, are the globally accepted standard for assessing the quality of a diamond: color, clarity, cut, weight (carat). The diamonds used by Casato have a clarity grade between VVS1 and VVS2 and a colour grade between F and H.

The re-sizing of a ring – also depending on the difference between the starting size and the end size requested – is often a very delicate work that could undermine both the structure and the appearance of the ring, especially for styles where natural stones are exposed. To protect its products and customers, the Casato re-sizing service meets strict qualitative standards and entails an estimate for fully remaking the ring whenever re-sizing is judged unfeasible. For a ring’s re-sizing, as is generally the case for any after-sale activity, it is highly unadvisable to turn to unauthorized laboratories that do not know the manufacturing process in detail, and are consequently highly likely to damage the jewel. If you need this service, we invite you to contact our customer service sending an email to cs@casatogioielli.com

Professional cleaning and polishing
Professional cleaning of jewellery is recommended at least once a year. For professional care, we recommend taking your jewellery to a reputable jeweller.

Tips and Recommendations/Daily Care
Between professional maintenance, most gold jewellery can be cleaned with non-abrasive products. Inspect your jewellery regularly to make sure that ring settings, necklace clasps and bracelets are secure. Normal daily use and external agents such as atmosphere, cosmetics, moisture and perspiration that come into contact with jewellery can contribute to reducing the brilliance of both gold surfaces and gems and diamonds. Avoid exposing gold jewellery to contact with household bleach as it can quickly cause discolouration and possible disintegration. It is advisable to store gold jewellery in a safe place before carrying out these activities:

Domestic and outdoor work.
Showering, bathing or swimming in pools, hot tubs, hot springs and at the sea.
Using lotions, hair products, perfumes and other cosmetics.
Exercising in the gym or during sports activities.
Preparing meals.

The lustre of jewels, especially gold ones only (without gemstones or diamonds) can be maintained in a simple way using specific, non-abrasive products specially meant for cleaning jewellery. Most products available on the market for jewellery cleaning may be used safely, as long as they are properly applied, though it is advisable to take extra care with products containing ammonia, alcohol, acids or chemical substances that may prove to be too aggressive.
