Who we are
Kintout is an emerging brand whose jewels are entirely made in Italy, from the initial design phase to their 100% artisanal production. Our creations are inspired by the emotion of a moment, a journey, a memory…
Each collection is born from the desire to tell a story and convey the sensations connected to it. The search for beauty in all its forms, casual, not always conventional, sometimes bold, is the basis of each new project.
Our mission is to produce art through jewelry, creating unique, high-quality yet accessible pieces that can give light to those who wear them.
Valerio Zerbini, designer and founder of the brand, born in 1984 in a small village on Lake Maggiore.
Always fascinated by art in all its facets, at 17 he sold his motorbike to buy his first electric guitar and join Junkie Soul, a whimsical and decidedly extravagant rock band. His first artistic expression therefore sees him grappling with the electric guitar, which accompanies him in various concerts over the years until the band's dissolution.
In 2009, life took him to Madagascar. The authenticity of the country, its colors and above all its unconventional way of life, far from the prepackaged patterns of the Western world, led him to settle in Anakao, a fishing village in the south of the island. Here he spent more than ten years of his life and founded the Hotel Peter Pan, a meeting place for travelers from all over the world who seek freedom and fun.
Back in Italy with many dreams and ideas to realize, he became passionate about the world of jewelry and design, initially opening franchise stores for fashion accessories and costume jewelry. One day he decided to give shape to his visions, he began to draw without being able to stop: it is in this moment and from this obsession that KINTOUT was born and his creations took shape, reflecting his creativity, his life experiences and his devotion to art expressed through jewelry.
The goldsmith's workshop is that magical place where our creations take shape.
Starting from an idea or a drawing, the jewels are made by skilled goldsmiths who are able to master even the most complex manufacturing techniques. Design, high craftsmanship, creativity and personality are therefore the strong points of our brand.
All the production phases are carried out manually, respecting the highest quality standards and maintaining scrupulous and constant attention to every detail. From wax casting to metal melting, through setting, rhodium galvanic treatments, finishing and final polishing, the goldsmith gives life to a true work of art, unique and unrepeatable. All this allows us to offer the customer unique pieces, which have nothing to do with industrial products.
We work in constant synergy with the best Italian artisans, to create jewels that respect the rules and quality standards of traditional goldsmithing, but also have a strong personal and innovative touch, for a modern, contemporary and never predictable style. The final product is therefore the result not only of the goldsmith techniques used but also of the personal touch and sensations that the artisan and the designer are able to impress on each creation.
