Used since antiquity, Rock Crystal is the purest form of quartz, celebrated for its exceptional clarity and natural brilliance. Its name originates from the Greek krystallos, meaning “ice”, as it was once believed to be eternal ice, frozen by divine hands.

Throughout history, this rare material has enchanted pharaohs, emperors, and Renaissance patrons. From ancient Egyptian amulets to medieval ritual objects, rock crystal has long been considered a conduit between the earthly and the spiritual—a symbol of purity, truth, and divine energy.

During the Renaissance, Florence emerged as a capital of lapidary arts, where rock crystal was carved with unmatched finesse into goblets, reliquaries, and precious vessels, often mounted in gold and gilt bronze. Today, Baldi Home Jewelsreinterprets this heritage, blending age-old mastery with a contemporary vision of luxury.
