Lo Spillo(The Pin) is one of the best small shops that I have ever visited. We walked passed this little gem after visiting Ponte Vecchio and decided to go in to have a look. Lo Spillo is not like the typical jewellery shops you find at Ponte Vecchio. Everything in the shop is handmade and thus makes each piece unique. The jewellery designer and owner Mrs Hiroko Uzielli was in the shop when we were there. Mrs Uzielli was originally from Japan, married and settled down in Italy. Her mother was an antique seller. She showed us an antique chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the shop. Wow… I love pearls. I bought a set of pearl earrings € 20 and a pearl ring € 25. Mrs Uzielli kindly gave me a € 5 discount :) I would have bought more if not for my travel budget constraints. All the items in the shop were fairly priced. I like the simple yet elegant styles of Mrs Uzielli’s designs. Lo Spillo is definitely worth a visit. This shop is already on my list of ‘places to visit again’. «Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.» ~Leonardo da Vinci~
