Gioielleria Zampa

Gioielleria Zampa is a cluster of luxury watch and jewellery shops on and around Republic Street, the main shopping street of Valletta. It has traded since 1968, and for a UK visitor it offers a rare chance to compare Swiss and Italian watchmakers in person, in the capital's most walkable shopping quarter.

The shops present themselves as a destination where careful curation meets elegance, with a vision of bringing together jewellery, timepieces and accessories chosen for artistry, precision and lasting beauty. A private showroom space is also offered for an exclusive jewellery experience, so it is worth mentioning in your enquiry if you would like to browse without distraction.

The business is listed in our directory of jewellery shops in Malta, and the shops sit within a few minutes' walk of the sights covered in our Valletta guide.

Watches and the brand boutiques

Timepieces are the centrepiece. Brands on the site include Baume & Mercier, Franck Muller, Gerald Charles, Hermès, IWC, Jacob & Co, Jaeger-LeCoultre, L'Epée 1839, NORQAIN, Panerai, Roger Dubuis, U-Boat and Ulysse Nardin. Panerai and IWC each have a dedicated boutique, at 8 and 8D Republic Street respectively.

The online shop shows printed prices for many Panerai models. A Luminor Destro 8 Giorni 44mm manual wind is listed at €8,400.00, a Submersible 44mm automatic at €10,300.00 and the Luminor Equation of Time 47mm at €25,200.00. Jaeger-LeCoultre pages cover the Master Control and Master Ultra Thin ranges and the Atmos clock, while IWC pages show the Ingenieur and Big Pilot's Watch families.

Jewellery and accessories

Jewellery from Roberto Coin, Fabergé and Gioielleria Zampa's own label can be browsed by necklace, ring, earrings, pendant, bracelet and collier, with charms, brooches, bangles and cufflinks also available. The Fabergé range includes the 1842 egg sautoir. Accessories include cufflinks and pieces from L'Epée 1839 and Swiss Kubik, and a Scatola del Tempo collection is also named.

Women's watches, such as a square-cased model on a lilac strap shown on the site, sit beside the larger men's sports pieces. Some items carry a call for price label rather than a printed figure, so it is worth asking about anything that interests you, whether you are after a gift for a birthday or a considered purchase for yourself. The Saint Lucia Street shop trades as Sergio Zampa Jewellery.

Servicing, care and warranties

The business treats after-sales care as part of the purchase. Its complete service moves through six stages: diagnosis, case or metal refurbishment, a mechanical or structural overhaul, reassembly, quality control and professional cleaning. Watches receive a full movement service, jewellery has its stones tightened and prongs inspected, and accessories are checked for hardware, stitching and material stability.

Three warranties are offered: a sales warranty against manufacturing defects, a warranty extension for added protection, and a service warranty on repairs and refurbishments. A care section gives advice on gemstones, metals, winding a watch and looking after leather or fabric. The site also confirms international shipping to most regions, with delivery times that depend on destination and stock.

Republic Street runs through the heart of the capital, close to St John's Co-Cathedral and the Upper Barrakka Gardens. The Knights of Malta guide explains the history behind the streets you will walk, and things to do in Malta has more ideas for the day.
