Our Story

From family business to original customized collections, our Capri style jewelry aims at launching a clear message: any precious piece becomes a symbol for the wearer.

All passions derive from the observation of the world surrounding us. Growing up in a family business that made the High-Jewelry History on Capri, Maria Alberino, local entrepreneur and designer, created Mediterranee Passioni by exploiting the thousand nuances inherited by her parentage.  

«In 2017 – Maria recalls – I decided to combine the innovative pieces designed by me with the family tradition of high coral jewelry. The reason is that I have a different perspective than the usual one, an idea according to which a jewel has to represent the soul of a person and their way of interpreting life».

This claim is expressed through the creations designed by the entrepreneur. Therefore, any jewel can bring out the personality and the passions of the wearers. Maria adds that the name of her Store, Mediterranee Passioni, is not accidental:

«It was chosen to represent the most authentic side of women along with their passions: our logo features the initial letter of my name and that of my mother’s, Isabella, who supported me with every innovation I introduced. In fact, the design starts with the letter “I”, which embodies the root of tradition, and then evolves into my “M”. The logo also shows the Faraglioni Rocks of Capri island in a stylized form, exactly like my creations are.».

The collections

The link between the Woman and the Island of Capri is found in our Capri Bloom collection. The pieces reproduce spring and summer Flora, with such flowers as: the bougainvillea, the jasmine and the broom, respectively associated with the amethyst, the white and yellow mother-of-pearl and the diamond.

Our Graffi Capresi and Crisalide collections are special: the first includes creations that aim to symbolize the strength of the bond between cat lovers and their feline pets; the second entrusts each jewel with the task of representing the rebirth and fulfillment of women.

Our customers

Being each jewel a means to communicate deep messages, the feedback that Maria Alberino receives from her customers is clear: they love to create an affectionate trust bond with the brand.

«It is not uncommon with a few clients just met, that once they have grasped the essence of my collections, they feel confident and share their own life experience with me, helped by the evocative power deriving from my pieces. This is more frequent with Crisalide collection; yet, Graffi Capresi plays its part, too. Each creation comes with a card describing the cat that inspired it and customers often find analogies with their own pets, recognizing them in the jewel.».

Empathy is fundamental for Maria, both in the creative phase and in the customers’ approach to her creations, that is, when they are welcomed into the store escorted by Luisa, the mascot-cat of Mediterranee Passioni.
