THE HEART OF MY WORK

Opals: Study, Selection
and Lapidary Craft

Opals are at the heart of my work and studio. Every gem is individually selected for its stability, play of colors and potential, with experience, care and respect for the material.

Alongside the opals I personally work on, I offer a selection of pieces sourced through direct, long-standing relationships with specialist master cutters. This short supply chain allows me to offer exceptional quality at prices that are difficult to find elsewhere.

LATEST SELECTION

Featured Pieces

A small selection of new arrivals. Every piece is one of a kind: what you see in the photos is exactly what you receive.

Polished agate and amethyst geode, with calcite, from the former Serenissima Mining District of Recoaro, Vicenza, IT.

BEHIND ANGOLO VETUSTO

More Than a Shop:
A Journey of Research

Behind every piece is genuine research, study and careful selection. From choosing the materials to evaluating their quality, provenance and potential, each specimen is considered with care before becoming part of the collection.

From field research and lapidary work to sterling silver jewellery and mineralogical documentation, Angolo Vetusto is the result of a journey built over time — rooted in hands-on experience and a passion for what the Earth has created over millions of years.
