Victor Azzopardi
Four generations ago, a small family business was focused around providing excellent craftsmanship to a small selection of clients. Operating from home, the Azzopardi family quickly established a formidable reputation as quality jewellers and were renowned for a wonderfully personal relationship with their clients. A century on, the business has grown but the core values remain. Supplying branded and bespoke jewellery, silverware and timepieces through a network of dedicated retail outlets, Victor Azzopardi Jewellers have retained the focus on customer relationships, true to the family tradition. A constant and keen attention to worldwide trends ensures that Victor Azzopardi Jewellers supply the latest collections of a vast array of global brands.
As Malta's pioneer in the business, Emmanuele Azzopardi started out in 1898 by handcrafting jewellery from Valletta in one of the largest and most equipped workshops in Malta at the time, working to the commission of a highly exigent clientele.
His name soon became synonymous with fine craftsmanship and, before long, his creations adorned the most fashionable members of society at the time. Many of these creations remain in private collections until today, preserved for generations as cherished heirlooms. His son, Victor Azzopardi, joined the famiy business, working from the family homes in Valletta and Floriana, crafting and importing jewellery and silver pieces. In 1969 Victor Azzopardi Jewellers opened their first retail outlet in Floriana. Joseph Azzopardi, Victor's eldest son, was the third generation to join the business and today runs Victor Azzopardi Jewellers along with his eldest sons Luis and Raphael. His youngest son JJ, as well as his elder Raphael are both certified gemmologists.
