ACE 2026 Legacy: Nanis, 35 Years
In the world of fine jewelry — where beauty meets craftsmanship and emotion — Laura Bicego stands out as a designer with both vision and heart, guided by an instinctive understanding of how modern women choose to wear luxury today. As the founder and creative force behind Nanis, which she leads alongside her husband and lifelong creative partner, Piero Marangon, Bicego has spent decades shaping jewelry that is chic, versatile, and deeply personal. Her creations celebrate femininity: effortlessly elegant, endlessly wearable, and animated by a sense of quiet surprise.
As a second-generation jeweler, Laura has forged a path distinctly her own, guided by transformation, emotion, and a spirit of handcrafted innovation. “It’s in my DNA,” she said with a bright smile, reflecting on her childhood in Vicenza, a hub long celebrated for its extraordinary goldsmithing heritage. Growing up in a goldsmith’s workshop, she was immersed from an early age in a world of craftsmanship and creativity that continues to inspire her today.
