The Mazza family’s involvement with the jewelry industry dates back almost two centuries. Starting in the 1840’s the Mazza family worked with coral, which they harvested and  hand carved in Italy. At the turn of the century Louis Mazza left Europe to import gems and Mazza carvings to the United States. In the years from 1950 to 1960 his four sons joined the business as it expanded. The third son, William, worked closely with the major
designers, honing his own creative skills, and in 1970 produced his first collection for I. Magnum & Co. and Bergdorf Goodman under the Mazza name.

Today William Mazza and his three sons own W & B Mazza and Sons, Inc., located in Baldwin, New York. Practicing fine jewelry techniques passed from generation to generation, William Mazza continues to create his unique collections using hand carved gemstones in the family tradition. W & B Mazza, the formerly unknown supplier of gemstones for famous jewelry houses such as David Webb, Inc., Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany & Co. and Cartier, Inc. has now emerged as a leading creator of 14kt and 18kt fashion jewelry.

The collection is represented in the finest independent stores throughout the nation and is carried in leading department stores including Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s. International distribution spans from Mexico to Canada and the Caribbean.

The Mazza company continues to broaden its designs as shown on our site. All collections will reflect Mazza’s commitment to contemporary design while holding fast to the tradition of the Italian masters.
