Italian Jewelry Manufacturer: a Goldsmith Tradition in 30+ Countries Since 1967

Over the years, we have followed market trends and listened carefully to our customers’ needs, converting production accordingly and continuing to invest in innovation. Innovation that we have applied to our product catalogue, but also and above all to our production, which has always been characterised by state-of-the-art equipment, to the point of making us pioneers in certain gold-processing techniques, which today have become a standard for the sector.

We like to be able to say with pride that, despite continuous and significant investments in production facilities, we have retained our artisan imprint. In this way, the knowledge and experience gained by our parents are still passed on to us children and to our employees, enabling us to continue creating innovative, high-quality products enriched with the secrets of the trade and made with the care of a true craftsman.

The excellence of the Italian market and, in particular, that of Vicenza is universally recognised in the gold and jewellery sector. We are proud that our company was born and raised in Camisano, in the province of Vicenza, because we believe that the link with the social fabric of such a stimulating, competitive and specialised area has strongly contributed to our success over the years.

After gaining solid experience as goldsmiths, Gianna and Dino Cavinato decided to found the company on 19 March 1967. Cavinato Dino’s business thus began in a small workshop housed in a garage.

We moved to a new building, housing our living quarters on the first floor and our workshop on the ground floor, which was later expanded.

Construction of the new industrial facility and relocation of the business to what is still the company headquarters. 1983 was also the year that Stefano Cavinato officially joined the company.

1989 is the year that saw the transformation of the company from a sole proprietorship to a limited liability company. The company grew and, at the same time, so did our reputation in the Italian market.

The 1990s were the years in which we began to participate in major trade fairs, as we realised not only the export potential, but also the fact that the company was beginning to be quite well known abroad.

Nicola Cavinato joined the company as an operational member. This period also saw the introduction of laser marking into production – an epoch-making turning point that changed Italian jewelry manufacturing forever, allowing us to offer gold cross pendants and medals that were more beautiful, more precise and significantly lighter.

Thanks to the acquisition of an important rival company, Cristiano Casarotto joined our staff and, with his great experience in exports, led to a strategic opening towards foreign markets that, over time, would strongly characterise our company.

After a long experience outside the family business, Elena Cavinato also decided to join our staff on an operational basis.

The early 2000s brought a new revolution: the introduction of CNC machines into production, applying precision metalworking concepts to handmade gold jewelry. This evolution allowed us to process ever thinner thicknesses and develop more intricate designs – raising the quality standard of our 14k gold jewelry across the entire catalogue.

We embarked on a major internationalisation plan to expand our role as a gold jewelry supplier in new foreign markets, while strengthening our presence with existing wholesale partners across Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. Today, Cavinato Dino exports Italian gold jewelry to more than 30 countries worldwide.
