Ebor was founded in 1989 by the entrepreneurial spirit of the young Debora, after gaining experience as a manager in a small metal finishing company.
At the time, jewelry finishing ended with polishing and rhodium plating, but the desire to experiment and explore alternative techniques, as requested by the fashion district, led the entrepreneur to evolve and expand the company by offering increasingly innovative services.
A brief history to recount thirty-five years of activity in the goldsmith craftsmanship sector, of a company that, without a past linked to jewelry, has managed to leave a small footprint in the vast luxury market.
“Every jewelry line has its own personality.
My task is to enhance it with the finishes we create,
often customized ad hoc at the request of customers.”
DEBORA SCHILLACI, FOUNDER
History
Precious finishes since 1989
Precious finishes
since 1989
The new millennium opens with gold plating in yellow or rose variants, followed by burnishing.
Sandblasting and satin finishing complement galvanic plating, giving metal surfaces a new tactile dimension.
The trend of brown diamonds demands a matching finish. Thus, the Chocolate finish is born, an in-house creation previously unavailable on the market.
Riding the brown wave, Blue Rhodium emerges, still a major player today, mainly paired with sapphires and fancy stones. At the same time, Ruthenium is introduced for finishes matched with black diamonds.
Galvanic plating is enhanced with the new palladium process, particularly used in silver finishing and mid-range jewelry. In 2013, following an EU regulation for nickel release protection, palladium plating becomes highly requested.
In February, Ebor is among the first Valenza companies to launch and offer E-Coating, an innovative nanoceramic process that coats metal surfaces, protecting them from oxidation and coloring precious metals with rainbow hues.
A dream comes true with the introduction of laser engraving services.
Due to the rising price of rhodium, Ebor introduces a new service: ecological silver plating.
To increase the durability of galvanic treatments such as gold and silver plating, the anti-tarnish antioxidant treatment is introduced.
To meet new customer demands, platinum plating is added to the range of services.
Two new processes enrich the range of services offered by Ebor: Cerami-laq and UV Enamel.
New this year is the creation of laser cuts and photoengravings.
