Brilanti is a benchmark of excellence
in jewelry, celebrated for its ability to blend tradition with contemporary design. Founded by Ana Núñez Bassó (1907–1999)—or, as she was known in Taxco, Ana Brilanti—she was one of the pioneering women artists in Mexican silversmithing. In 1940, she opened her first store, Victoria, alongside her husband, Rafael Brilanti.
A Family Tradition
Brilanti has remained a family legacy, celebrating the cultural richness and beauty of Mexico through every piece. Today, the third generation of the family continues this noble tradition, preserving the artisanal techniques perfected by Ana Brilanti while incorporating modern innovations to meet the tastes and styles of a global audience.
Passion and Craftsmanship
Passion for design and commitment to quality remain the pillars of Brilanti. Each creation is a true work of art, honoring both the past and the future of Mexican silversmithing
An unexpected visit marked the beginning of a story that would transcend borders and generations.
One day, a group of elegantly dressed ladies entered the store to admire Ana Brilanti’s jewelry. Fascinated by her work, they expressed how much they admired her talent and made a special request: to design a unique necklace for a dear friend. They explained that their friend loved fans and asked Ana to use them as inspiration for the design.
Ana accepted the challenge and created a necklace composed of several elements, each meticulously crafted in the shape of a fan. When the women returned to collect the piece, they revealed that the gift was intended for the First Lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt. They also asked Ana not to replicate the necklace design for anyone else until she received official authorization.
Some time later, a letter arrived from the White House, signed by Mrs. Roosevelt herself. In it, she expressed that many of her friends had admired the necklace and considered it a true work of art. Acknowledging its beauty and originality, she added that it would not be fair for the design to remain exclusive to her. Therefore, she authorized Ana to reproduce the Fan Necklace so that more people could enjoy its splendor.
This gesture not only turned the Fan Necklace into one of Brilanti’s most iconic designs, but also cemented Ana’s reputation as one of the great masters of Mexican silversmithing —a legacy that continues to shine across generations
