Ours is a family heritage of experience and passion, passed down from generation to generation, that has lasted for more than a century. Palumbo e Gigante, year after year, has grown and developed to become a company synonymous with uniqueness and excellence of high-end jewelry and watchmaking in Sicily. Today Palumbo e Gigante proudly designs and creates its own jewelry collection and represents the most famous international brands including Patek Philippe, Cartier, Omega, Hublot, Panerai, Zenith, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Breguet, Blancpain, Chanel, Tag Heuer, Baume et Mercier, Longines, Hamilton, Montblanc, Tissot, Chopard, Gucci, Dodo, Buccellati.
"It all began in Termini Imerese, in 1902 when great-grandfather Giuseppe Palumbo opened his shop. In the following years, grandfather Marco Palumbo continued the family tradition with passion. Passion and commitment are the genetic heritage of the third generation and fourth generation today at the helm of the company represented by my parents Adele Palumbo and Nicasio Gigante and by me and my brother Carlo Gigante. We are a family, attentive to the needs of the customer, to the credibility of the offer and to that knowledge that allows us to create unique jewels and present the most precious timepieces of which we are official dealers exclusively for western Sicily."
“Since I was a child I have experienced the family atmosphere of the shop and observed the passion and dedication of my father Marco for his work. I started working very young but always with the strong responsibility of someone who knows he wants to carry on a family tradition. A lot of work, it is the engine of my life that pushes me every day to move forward for the continuity of the company and to consolidate the special relationship with customers. Over the years, together with my husband Nicasio Gigante we have expanded our offerings and transformed an artisan model into a complete and prestigious company but always as an objective and commitment to pursue the values that they have transmitted to us.”
“My entry into the company is marked by a family business in constant search of new proposals that has led Palumbo and Gigante today to interpret the style of an entire generation by offering the most exclusive brands in the world of luxury. Those who come to us are looking for exactly this: a vast selection of unique objects capable of telling their family history. Another important stage in the evolution of our company was the inauguration in 2002 of our new boutique in Palermo and the entry of the most prestigious international high-end watchmaking brand, Patek Philippe. Today our vision is projected into a new international scenario, which we share together with our children Carlo and Giovanna, the fourth generation of our company.”
"I grew up considering the company as an older sister, my parents passed on to us an idea of family and business made of harmony. I believe it is precisely this indissoluble bond between profession and family ties that gives a different energy to family businesses. After graduating in Interpretation and Translation in Rome and obtaining an IGI Gemmologist diploma, I decided to join the family business. With my arrival in the company we went so far as to launch “Echo”, our first line of jewelry inspired by the shield of the Sicilian paladins. Harmony also guides the design of our collections, sophisticated but at the same time suitable for everyday life that combine the perfect balance between design, volumes, functions, movement and colors."
"Since I was a child I have had only one dream: to join the family business. After graduating in Economics in Milan and obtaining a GIA Gemmologist diploma in Florence, I too began my adventure within our family business, with the aim of providing the utmost professionalism to those who wish to purchase and pass on a valuable asset. Our customers know well that behind each of our choices and advice there are entrepreneurs and a family who act as guarantors of values and quality. The most important things in business life are in fact the intangible ones: ethics, a certain way of conceiving work and the sense of being together. The secret of our success is mainly due to the coherence, seriousness and courage that our family members have had in investing in their passion and in passing it on to future generations."
Our company's philosophy is based on three fundamental values that have always guided us and tell the story of our family's consistency and way of working since 1902.
Ours is a family heritage made of experience and passion, handed down from generation to generation, which has lasted for more than a century and represents an indissoluble bond between profession and family ties.
Within our company, providing the utmost professionalism to those who wish to purchase and pass on a valuable asset is one of our goals. Our customers know well that behind each of our choices, gestures and advice there are entrepreneurs and a family who act as guarantors of values and quality.
We interpret the style of an entire generation by offering only the most precious and rare timepieces in the world and by entrusting the creation of our jewelry collections to only the most expert hands.
