The National Trust was founded over 100 years ago, by three passionate Victorians who wanted to preserve outdoor spaces and prevent them from being built on. We protect historic houses, gardens, mills, coastline, forests, woods, fens, beaches, farmland, moorland, islands, archaeological remains, nature reserves, villages and pubs. Then we open them up for everyone to enjoy for ever. While we're very passionate about open spaces and historic places, we're working hard in other areas too. We care about the environment, food, farming, transport and heritage - to name just a few of our concerns.

Growing up in Sicily Maurizio Pintaldi was hugely influenced by the rugged landscapes, vivid colours and tempestuous seas, as well as the eclectic mix of different civilizations and cultures that coexist on this important island crossroads. All of these elements find stunning expression in the jewellery collection that he has lovingly created – rubies and emeralds, white and brown diamonds, combined with brushed gold, are brought together to create a dazzling array of unique pieces that are as startling, inspiring and elemental as Sicily itself. Whilst a trip to the Mediterranean is undoubtedly appealing you can see examples of Maurizio’s art at his store on Walton Street, in Knightsbridge.
Stay at one of the Red Carnation London Hotels and receive a 15% discount at Pintaldi when you bring your reservation confirmation with you.
