What Officine Nora is known for
Shared jewelry workshop in Florence's Oltrarno district, founded 2014 by Margherita de Martino Norante; six resident jewelers make and sell original pieces on-site at Via dei Preti, with benches also rented for short courses.
Officine Nora is a shared jewelry work-and-shop space in Florence's artisan Oltrarno quarter, at Via dei Preti 2-4/r. It was founded in 2014 by Margherita de Martino Norante with the goal of giving independent jewelry makers a place to work autonomously while selling directly to the public, bypassing the traditional gallery/retail split. The workshop hosts six resident jewelers who design, fabricate, and sell their own original pieces from benches inside the space. Six additional benches are available for short-term rental, workshops, and jewelry-making lessons. The approach favors a contemporary, experimental sensibility over classical Florentine goldsmithing conventions, though it operates within a city with a centuries-old jewelry-making tradition.
