Frank Zampa, business man and iconic jeweller behind Frank Zampa Jewellery,  passed away yesterday at the age of 94.

Mr Zampa was one of most well-known entrepreneurs in the industry, with several jewellery shops in Valletta. He was also an avid water polo player in the 60s and 70s, playing with Valletta United and winning the championship.

Frank Zampa Jewellery has been synonymous with craftsmanship and superior quality since its founding in 1804 by Signor Giuseppe Zampa in Rome.

The family-owned business has flourished over six generations, with Frank Zampa, Giuseppe’s great-grandson, playing a crucial role in shaping its esteemed reputation. His youngest son, Renato, has continued the legacy alongside his children, Fabio and Loredana, allowing the Zampa tradition to remain a hallmark of excellence in jewellery making.

The six-generation family business has just unveiled a new flagship store on St Lucia street.
