Our Story
General Information
SEVEN GENERATIONS
Since 1804
Great stories often begin with the unassuming – the seemingly ordinary. An impassioned zeal for the finer things saw a young Roman, Giuseppe Zampa, authenticating precious materials in service to the Order of St John during the great Grand Master Ramon Perellos’s reign in the 17th century. It wasn’t long before Zampa’s august acclaim saw him reaching new heights, fashioning beautiful handcrafted silver.
Zampa’s love for Malta never waned and here he remained. His passion was passed on to his children and, with that, came the first Zampa jewellery shop being set up in 1804 on Santa Lucia Street.
The rest, as they say, is history.
BESPOKE JEWELLERY
Tailor made
Every item of jewellery could write its own book; starting from the sourcing and cutting of the stone, to the forging of the mount, the moulding, lustre, polish, the display - and last but not least the twinkle in the eye of the beholder. The events culminating in that final transaction are a reflection of the journey both parties have undergone and nothing but perfection will do. This is precisely why the gifted team at Gioielleria Zampa meticulously dedicate their time, talent, and creativity to crafting one-of-a-kind designs, each with a uniqueness paralleled only by the client’s, that will be cherished for many a lifetime. Truly a legacy to treasure.
Zampa today
Today sees Valletta as the proud home to no less than three Gioielleria Zampa outlets, adorning the streets once traversed by the local nobility with an unparalleled range of high-end designer jewellery and watches.
In this way, the Zampa family has broadened its reach, ultimately ensuring an indelible impression graces the hearts and minds of travellers from beyond our shores.
With Sergio Zampa and his two sons Francesco and Carlo at the helm, unbridled spirit and attention to detail has seen Gioielleria Zampa bloom into the veritable institution that it is today. Luxury, sophistication, timelessness; this is the Zampa legacy.
