Sandro
Azzopardi is the fourth generation descendant of a
family of Jewellers with over 28 years experience in the
industry. His early years were spent in training on all
aspects of the business: sales, product selection and,
most significantly, workshop apprenticeship. This has
given him an extensive understanding in the development
and manufacturing of fine jewellery, from an initial
creative concept to the artistic execution of the final
product. This knowledge and experience was refined
through a study of jewellery through a historial
perspective at Sotheby’s, in London. Applied practice in
Rome further sharpened his skills in jewellery design
and diamond setting. As a watch collector and
aficionado, Sandro closely follows innovations in the
watch market, both in the area of design and precision
development.
In
1996 Sandro went into business independently
when he opened the main boutique, located in the
heart of Sliema: a boutique with a
vision, to be the first jewellery designer
boutique in Malta. |

Having successfully launched and popularised some of the
major luxury jewellery brands on the island, Sandro is
now introducing a new dimension to the market: his own
range of jewellery which are all unique and signed
pieces.
To realise this new design concept Sandro Azzopardi
Gioielleria has recruited as part of their team the
highly talented local Artist Yasmin Modi. Her role as
Art Director and Designer places her in charge of
transferring design concepts on paper. Together, Sandro
and Yasmin are creating designs fuelled by the theme of
“Jewellery as Art” bringing into play bold intense
colours to bring alive vivid unforgettable pieces.
Gemstones available include a rare 1.99 carat
Alexandrite, an intense blue 5.38 carat Ceylon Sapphire
and an extensive range of Diamonds from 0.1 carat to
over 4 carats. Stunning Aquamarines, Amethysts,
Citrines, Fluorites, Peridots, Quartz, Tanzanites,
Topaz, and sophisticated Pearls including Natural South
Sea Pearls of up to 15 mm are all available too.
Much of the design of a particular piece is based on the
colour selection and inspiration of the stone itself
giving the individual pieces inimitable style and value.
This artistic design approach will also enable clients
to have jewellery specifically designed for different
occasions with importance given to their personal tastes
and requirements. New concepts of settings are being
introduced and limited edition and “one-time” pieces
will be made available. Each piece will be signed by a
unique logo which is trademarked by Sandro Azzopardi.
An extensive range of Antique Silverware, including rare
Maltese collectable silver items, and a variety of
vintage pocket watches and collectable wristwatches are
also on display and are now available for purchase from
the boutique. Sandro Azzopardi Gioielleria also
represent Bvlgari Jewellery, Watches and Accessories. |
