Our Story
We're Riki and Chiara! We grew up just a few miles apart—sharing the same city, the same summer camps, and even some of the same friends—but somehow, our paths never crossed. For years, we lived parallel lives without realizing it.
Then, as luck would have it, we both made the same decision at the exact same moment: to move to Rome and study jewelry fabrication. Completely unaware of each other, we ended up at the same small jewelry school, sitting just a few benches apart. That’s where our paths finally met.
We came to Rome to learn the craft—goldsmithing, stone setting, and lost wax casting—but what we found was something even longer lasting: a creative partnership and friendship built on a shared love for jewelry, storytelling through objects, and beauty in all its forms.
Our Philosophy
We specialize in vintage jewelry that celebrates individuality and pushes against tradition. At .999 Green St., we believe in the beauty of new old gold—pieces with history, character, and soul, reimagined for modern wearers who define their own style. Jewelry shouldn’t be reserved for milestones or worn by rules—it’s meant to be an expression of who you are. We believe in wearing what you love, when you want, however big, however bold. Our handpicked vintage collection honors self-expression, revives timeless craftsmanship, and connects those who find meaning in the stories only vintage jewelry can tell.
Jewelry should tell your story, not follow the rules.
