Maman et Sophie in Spain: Where to Buy the Italian Brand

Looking for Maman et Sophie in Spain — from Marbella, Palma, Barcelona or anywhere with an English-speaking address — turns up a few stockists and not much catalogue. The Florentine house is easier to find online than on a Spanish high street, and the full range lives in Italy. Inside the European Union that is a detail, not an obstacle: no customs, no clearance fee, VAT settled at checkout.

What Maman et Sophie makes

Two materials and very few tricks: 18-carat gold and 925 sterling silver, set with natural coloured gemstones. You recognise the pieces by a repeated detail — a small pierced heart closing chains and bracelets — and by a working idea that runs through every collection: this is jewellery meant for Tuesday, not for the safe. Our catalogue carries over twelve hundred references from the brand, from around 50 € in silver to past 1.500 € in gold with diamonds.

The collections worth knowing by name are Pietre Nude, where the stones hang with no setting at all; Battito, pared back to a line; Cuore Nudo and Diamante Nudo; America Hippy, which is exactly as seventies as it sounds; Talismani, the amulets; and the colour lines, Zaffiro and Gocce.

Four pieces that explain Maman et Sophie in Spain

• Battito heart pendant with iolite, 18kt gold, an 8 × 8 mm heart, at 169 € — and it ships with a nylon cord so it can be worn immediately.
• «Brezza d'Estate» single hoop with flower, 925 silver under a heavy rose-gold plating, 134 €. Deliberately single: this house treats one earring as a statement rather than half a pair.
• Koi fish ring, listed at 159 € and 135,15 € on our page as we write.
• Brillando Cuore bracelet, 18kt gold with a diamond pavé heart, adjustable at 16,5, 17,5 and 19 cm, 875 € — the serious gift.

Ring sizes: the one thing worth checking twice

Italian sizes count the inner circumference in millimetres and then take forty off it: a finger measuring 52 mm is a French 52 and an Italian 12. Germany, Austria and Switzerland quote the inner diameter instead (16,5 mm is about an Italian 12), and a British N lands around an Italian 13. Our ring size guide has the full conversion table, and if you are between two numbers write to us before ordering: it is a two-minute answer, and it saves a return.

Delivery to a Spanish address

The parcel leaves Genoa insured, tracked and anonymously packed — nothing on the box announces what is inside. Our shipping page quotes two to seven working days for Europe, with the exact cost shown before payment. There is no customs step, because no customs border is crossed, and VAT follows the delivery address.

If it does not fit

Fourteen days to withdraw, and twenty-four months of legal warranty of conformity that applies across the Union, Spain included. Each piece also travels with the maker's warranty in the box. If the problem is a ring size, write before returning: an exchange is usually simpler.

Ordering from Italy: what a European buyer actually gets

Cicala Gioiellerie is a jeweller in Genoa, on the Italian riviera. We opened in 1950, we still sell out of a real boutique with a goldsmith's bench behind it, and sending a parcel to Paris, Munich, Vienna or Rotterdam is ordinary Tuesday work. Inside the European Union the mechanics are simpler than most people expect.

• No customs, no clearance fee, no paperwork. Italy and the rest of the Union are one customs territory: the parcel travels as if it came from a shop in your own city.
• VAT is already in the price and is calculated at checkout against the delivery address. Nothing is added at the door, and nothing is hidden before it.
• Insured, tracked, and packed anonymously. Nothing printed on the box says what is inside. The exact delivery cost appears before you pay — see shipping and costs — and Europe is quoted at two to seven working days.
• Two years of legal warranty of conformity, valid across the Union wherever you live, on top of the maker's own warranty card that travels in the box: warranty page.
• Fourteen days to change your mind under the returns policy, with card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer at checkout.
• A workshop, not a warehouse. What we sell we also repair, in our own workshop — and we answer e-mail in English.
