The area

Address
Neighborhood: San Marco
The most famous sestiere (district) in Venice has one of the world's most famous squares, St. Mark's (Piazza San Marco). Anchored on one end by the basilica, clustered around it are restaurants, museums, shops, orchestras playing in the square, pigeons, the grand pink Doge’s Palace (Palazzo Ducale), the soaring campanile bell tower, an astrological clock tower, plus gorgeous cafes and restaurants like Florian and Quadri. Piazza San Marco is beloved by Venetians themselves. They book a table anytime, which offers a buffer from the fray. This grand outdoor drawing room attracts Venetians for a stroll too, especially late in the afternoon when the hoards of daytrippers thin out. It's simply a grand place to meet.

    Amazing works of art
    My son visited Italy from America and visited this establishment. He provided a photo of my parents on their wedding day. For Christmas he had a cameo created. They really captured the essence of my parents and provided an intricate and beautiful piece. I cried when I opened this precious gift.

    Perfect for Authentic one of a kind Treasure Hunters!
    It was a wonderful experience! I appreciated that the owners took the time to speak with me and explain the heritage of the cameo craft. I learned about the unique style that is specific to this store/family. It was very enjoyable to pick out my unique pendant and get to know that it was handmade, rather than a fake sold at a higher price. The store has many options of jewelry at varying price points. The important thing to remember is that this is the place for authentic! You are paying to get a one of a kind item, rather than a mass produced one. Loved it!! Grateful to the owner and his wife for a great experience.

    Custom Cameo for Wife
    I requested that Marco create a cameo of my wife with her horse. It is amazing. He took so much time and effort to create a one of a kind piece my wife will treasure always. He also made the effort to ensure the piece was what I wanted from start to finish. What a talented person!

    Most Beautiful Cameo
    I purchased a custom made cameo of my mother from Marco Jovon, and it is my most prized piece of jewellery that I love with all my heart. Every time I look at it I think of my mother, and even of the Eredi Jovon family and how much I wish to purchase another piece for my next special occasion. It was shipped all the way to London, no problem.

    Incredible Artworks
    A quality artisan who knows his skill and business very well. I contacted him to commission a piece, receiving a free quote on the cost with a pricing breakdown to understand the mathematics behind it all as well as the fairness. He is one of the greatest artists of our time

    Buying Coral
    This is amazing family owned shop is one of the few in the world and in Italy where you can be certain of buying real Made in Italy Italian red coral among other things. Marco and the team are very helpful when it comes to answering queries and helping you choose the item for you. I ordered a cabochon and it was better than I even expected.

    Beautiful ring showcasing great craftmanship and great customer service
    I actually ordered a red coral ring of their website. Marco was great and very helpful via email and understood what I was looking for. I received the ring and also a bracelet very quickly from Italy to France and they are beautiful especially the ring that is just exquisite and showcase excellent crafmanship. I already received a compliment right after wearing it. The package was also sent with care and beautiful boxes. In true Italian fashion, they know how to do things beautifully and high quality. I also received a certificate of authenticity for the coral. I highly recommend if you are looking for an item of high quality and beauty. Thank you Marco!

I placed and order for a red coral pendant. At first I was a bit hesitant to place an order here as I was in Belgium but I took the risk and believe me it was an amazing experience. They were there at every step right from the beginning. They replied to my emails within minutes and kept me updated with the status of my order. Within next day my order was at my door right from Italy to Belgium. Regarding the pendent, the maturity in the art reflects in the design and craftsmanship. Above all, there way of welcoming and treating customers is just amazing. I wish to visit the shop in person someday.

I had several cameos made by the Gioielleria Eredi Jovon shop and the service was simply superb. Marco took great care in making sure everything was perfect and the skills at creating the cameos were beyond compare. Marco provided extremely attentive customer service and made you feel as if you were friends and family. This level of customer care is rarely found anymore. This shop is a rare gem in Venice's crown.

I came to this shop as it appears to have an excellent reputation for cameos and coral jewellery, and the knowledge of the owners, together with the fact that it is a Venetian family firm that dates back to the 1930s. My experience was fine, and the jewellers will interest and entertain many tourists who visit them. I was looking for a cameo for my elderly mother for her birthday and deliberated between two brooches come pendants (the cameos are designed to be both). The gentleman who was assisting me told me that the cameo that caught my eye was a) supposed to be a likeness of Grace Kelly, who had been a customer of the boutique back in the day, and b) also supposed to represent the allegorical figure of Venice on a painting in the Doge's palace featured in GB Tiepolo's "Neptune offers Venice gifts from the Sea". I am an art historian and specialist on the work of Tiepolo, and the profile of the lady on the cameo is much prettier than Tiepolo's allegorical figure of Venice and, therefore, not a good likeness. Further research on Grace Kelly's association with the business revealed that she purchased blackamoor brooches from them, and I could find no evidence that this cameo was created in her likeness. So ... while entertaining, I would advise not being taken in by the owners blarney. I was slightly miffed to see that the 'reduced price' I paid for the cameo was still around EU. 38 more than the same thing advertised on the website. Just so you know, the gold framing for the cameo is 9ct, not 18ct gold. It was an interesting experience, but I don't know if I would return. I recommend that visitors deliberate for 24 hours and research the backstory of the item of jewellery and the price to ensure they get a good deal. That said, it's a pretty brooch, and I hope my mother will like it.

Greetings I'll try to answer you in points. 1 - The Venezia cameo has been our iconic best seller for about 60 years but we gladly accept your criticism because it will help us improve it even further. We are so proud of our past but we always look to the future. 2 - The prices on the site and in the shop are exactly the same. Three or four times a year we offer Promos ONLY Online : you must have come across the site during one of these. Maybe it was Valentine's Day. 3 - On the fact that customers should inform themselves about us before purchasing, I answer without false modesty.... I WISH!!! They would read the hundreds of enthusiastic reviews from those who came before them and this would make our mission of promoting true Italian craftsmanship easier. Finally, I'm happy that you like our cameo and I am sure that your mother will love it very much. The biggest hug in the World Marco and all the Jovon Family and Team

I submitted a custom order via e-mail and paid via Internet. Custom pieces were created, shipped, and arrived within 7 days of finalizing the order. Marco was great. I hope to visit the shop in person one day.

Wanted a cameo pin for my 50 anniversary. Searched online for a place where I could have a cameo pin custom made. When I contacted Eredi Jovon, I received a quick reply. Marco was extremely helpful in designing the pin and took special care to ensure the the end product was exactly what I wanted. He suggested a design and some things I could do to enhance the pin. I would definitely recommend Eredi Jovon to anyone who would want custom made jewelry.

What a wonderful surprise I had this morning. My beautiful cameo of my grandson created by Marco arrived. I live in the United States and waited until I visited Venice to have my cameo created. Marco and his brother are wonderful. I worked with Marco on the cameo. He sent me sketches and then a video of the progress of the creation. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to work with him. If you want a special family treasure I highly recommend one of his cameos.

Always,

Ruth

Although I have been to Italy in the past, working by email with Marco at Eredi Jovan went so smoothly.
My sister wanted to purchase an angel skin coral ring and earrings like the one I own. With Marco’s help and expertise we were able to purchase a beautiful set. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Marco was at handling all of our questions and alleviating any worries. The jewelry arrived in Louisiana quickly and far surpassed our expectations.
My hope now is that once we are able to truly travel again, I can pay my new friend a visit in Italy.

My experience was enhanced by the talent of Marco, who performed my cameo.I requested a special cameo featuring my three children's portraits.From the sketch to the final, it was an amazing journey. I loved everything about it. The great moment was when I received it. I can’t explain how I was so very happy that I cried when I saw it. May God bless you and let this art remain for ever. It’s something really precious. I will most certainly return to this one-of-a-kind boutique in the future.
