About Carlo Weingrill
Carlo Weingrill is a jewelry house based in Verona. The house, that was found in 1879, has been family owned by four generations of jewelers. Passing family traditions of workmanship is a staple of Italian jewelry making. In the 1930s Carlo Weingrill’s two sons turned the jewelry workshop into a major maker with worldwide recognition. The Maison was especially famous for its Art Nouveau floral motifs. The brand contributed many significant geometric shapes to define the Art Deco period. In the 1970s Carlo’s granddaughter Paula took over the leadership. Today her son Carlofilippo Weingrill runs the company that represents the heritage of Italian goldsmiths. Their high-quality pieces have been sought after in the last few decades. Carlo Weingrill is known as the original manufacturer of the most recognizable jewelry designs such as the Trinity bangle bracelet for Cartier, and, perhaps most notably, Bulgari’s Tubogas necklaces, bracelets, and rings. The classic Weingrill rolling bracelet, designed in the late 1980s, is a tubogas version of the Trinity bracelet Weingrill made for Cartier from the 1920s to the 1940s.

A pair of 18k Gold Carlo Weingrill huggie earrings of tubogas design. The earrings bring the tubogas technique into a neat, compact form. The curved shape hugs the earlobe closely, while the ridged structure gives them a distinctive look. Unlike traditional hoop earrings, these have a more architectural feel. With their smooth gold finish and dimensional shape, these earrings carry a signature Weingrill style: expressive yet streamlined, with an emphasis on form and texture rather than embellishment.
