Portofino
he primary objective of wearing jewellery is
personal beautification and Gianmaria Carbognin
is no stranger to this. Stand outside his eclectic
boutique ‘Portofino,’ based at Eden Plaza in
North East Mahe and try to fight the magnetic
effect it has on you as it slowly pulls you to its doors. Its
walls are adorned with graceful diaphanous silks and every
corner is filled with leather goods hailing from quaint
Italian villages, unheard of by most people. However, it
is not these luxurious accessories, but the shimmering
necklaces, bracelets and rings delicately arranged beneath
the glass cases that makes Portofino a literal treasure
chest. This is where visitors are promised to discover the
most fashionable jewellery in Seychelles, with the boutique
specialising in loose diamonds and fashion jewellery, plus
a wide selection of ring styles, silver and silver necklaces
for ladies.T
