Iosseliani of Rome began in 1997 with the coming-together of two designers who would make an enduring line of costume jewellery and accessories. Both Roberta Paolucci and Paolo Giacomelli are heavily influenced by classic Italian jewellery but are not satisfied with it alone. They use classic elements combined with modern tastes, ornaments, and symbols to mould pieces that transcend genre. Decadence is balanced with modesty; the traditional with the contemporary, and the classical is countered by the bizarre. Iosseliani has created a unique line of rough-come-glamorous pieces that are striking to the eye and to the heart.
