The Mazza family has been working in the jewelry industry since the 1840s when they were harvesting and carving shells for cameos. At the turn of the century, Louis Mazza left Europe to import gems and Mazza carvings to the United States. In the mid 20th century, his four sons joined the business and his third son, William, worked closely with the major designers, creating his first collection in 1970 under the Mazza name. Today William is joined by his three sons and the Mazza Company continues to create their collections using hand-carved gemstones and other special gems in the family tradition.
