Our Story

At Trinacria, our story intertwines passion, pride, and our cherished Sicilian heritage. Our roots trace back to Tivoli Jewelers, established by Frank Palmeri Jr. in 1992, building upon a legacy of exceptional craftsmanship and Italian American tradition.

The Palmeri story began when Frank's parents made the courageous journey from Italy to Bushwick, Brooklyn. For many years, Frank Jr. mastered his craft at a prestigious Manhattan jewelry manufacturer while pursuing his finance degree. This dual expertise led to the founding of Tivoli Jewelers, which quickly became renowned for both its exquisite pieces and Frank's genuine dedication to personalized service.

Today, as second-generation Italian Americans, we proudly introduce Trinacria—a brand that honors our Sicilian ancestry through artistry and tradition. Each piece in our collection, from our signature Trinacria pendants to our cornicelli and giglio designs, tells a story of heritage and craftsmanship. These aren't just accessories; they're symbols of identity, meticulously crafted with the same passion that has defined our family's work for generations.

Our commitment extends beyond creating jewelry to actively preserving Italian American culture. Through our involvement with organizations like UNICO, the Columbus Citizens Foundation, and the Polizzi Club, we celebrate and strengthen our community bonds. Every Trinacria piece serves as a bridge between generations, connecting wearers to centuries of Sicilian tradition and pride.

When you choose Trinacria, you become part of a continuing story of family, tradition, and artistry. Each piece carries the legacy of our ancestors while embracing modern craftsmanship, creating treasured heirlooms for future generations.

Join us in celebrating the beauty of our Sicilian heritage. Experience Trinacria—where every piece is a testament to our roots, our community, and the enduring spirit of craftsmanship that defines who we are.
