Nearly seventy years ago, the Candela jewelry house was founded by the three
Candela brothers in Valencia, Spain. The company name was Candela Hermanos,
and it quickly became one of the world’s largest manufacturers of karat gold
jewelry in that region. For several generations the Candela family has been
at the forefront of European jewelry design and manufacturing.
The success of Candela is credited to the expert craftsmanship and attention
to detail. The name “Candela” is synonymous with fine Spanish jewelry. With
this heritage, it is no wonder that daughter Andréa, was inspired to create
the Andréa Candela Collection of fine jewelry.
In 1979, Candela Hermanos expanded to the United States under the name
Candela Jewelry Inc. Andréa, while still involved in the family business,
passed design responsibility to the design team in the United States to
carefully analyze the markets worldwide. Today, Andréa Candela brings
customers beautiful jewelry that is universally acknowledged to be among the
most innovative and finest available.
The new design team brings a modern focus and highly desired perspective to
the collections while carrying on timeless traditions of early Candela
creations.
Holding true to its tradition of quality and design, the Andréa Candela
designer brand was created in 2004. Inspired by the beauty and heritage of
Spain, a magnificent collection of jewelry incorporating sterling silver,
18kt gold, exotic genuine gemstones and fine quality diamonds proudly
carries the Andréa Candela name. Andrea’s passion for color exuberates
through each hand picked diamond and gemstone chosen exclusively for their
quality and hue.
Identifiable by the unique Armadillo finish and rope edge design trademarks,
Andréa Candela is headed towards the forefront of the jewelry industry
incorporating “Old World” craftsmanship for today’s fashion forward woman
and man. First introduced at Vicenza Oro in January 2005, Andréa Candela is
sold exclusively in fine jewelry stores and upscale department stores world
wide. |
