ItalianoOur story
Martha was born out of the experience of its founder Claudio Di Martino, who learned the art of jewelry making from his father Antonio, a musician and fine goldsmith, as a boy.
Gifted with an innate creativity, he began his path by working gold and silver, but then, at the request of the well-known Milanese fashion designer Biki, he began to devote himself to the world of bijoux reproducing jewelry and working brass, copper, natural materials up to plastics, developing a thorough knowledge of materials that have no secrets for him, allowing him to create small masterpieces able to amaze the greatest fashion designers who begin to entrust him with the realization of their bijoux and making him a point of reference in the sector.

Claudio has collaborated with the greatest forms of Italian and international Fashion such as Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Trussardi, Ferrè, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, Missoni, Christian Lacroix, Andrea Pfister, Nando Muzi and many others.
Krizia, after years of collaboration that began in ’68, remembers him by quoting him in his famous book.
Over the years Claudio has also been involved in training young creatives, helping them to realize their dreams, including his daughter Ilaria, now Martha’s creative director, who works closely with her father, becoming an integral part of the company and beginning to make her own creations as well, eventually taking Claudio’s place after his untimely death.
