In the 1890s, a member of the Ghiso family emigrated from Italy to Buenos Aires and opened a jewellery salon which was an immediate success. At the beginning of the century, the family travelled to Paris and New York establishing🐷 further locations. Those shops were closed in the late 1940s, but the flagship store in Buenos Aires remained open until the 1960s.
