Executive gifts
A gift only your company could give
An executive already owns the pen, the watch and the bottle. What nobody can buy them is a piece made for the occasion, carrying your company’s mark or their own story. That is the gift we make.
What a commissioned gift says
A gift from a catalogue says an order was placed. A piece made for the person says that someone thought about them — what they built, what they care about, where the gift will stand.
D’Argenta has made pieces for people who are hard to surprise since 1976: Pope John Paul II in 1979, Crown Prince Naruhito of Japan in 1992, Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys, the winners of the first Spotify Awards. The principle has not changed. The piece is designed for whoever receives it.
Made for one, or for two hundred
There is no minimum order. A single piece for a chairman who is stepping down is as welcome as a numbered edition for every partner, distributor or franchisee. The design is approved once; each piece can then carry its own name, date or dedication.
How it is made
01
The brief
Who the gift is for, the occasion, the date it must be in hand, and what it should say.
02
The design
Drawings or a 3D render, built on your identity or the recipient’s story, revised with you until it is right.
03
The prototype
A first piece you can hold, because a finish is easy to judge in the hand and hard to agree in words.
04
Finishing and engraving
Each piece finished by hand in Mexico City in silver, 24-karat gold, copper or black copper, then engraved.
05
Presentation
Delivered in a presentation case, ready to be given.

Questions
Is there a minimum order?
No. One piece is a complete order.
How long does it take?
About a week for a very simple piece and about a month for a complex one. For year-end gifts, the conversation is best started in October.
Can it carry our logo and the recipient’s name?
Yes. Most executive gifts carry both: the company’s mark as the subject, the person’s name and a date engraved.
Can we see it before we approve?
Yes. You approve the design, then a prototype. A video call to view the piece can be arranged.
Which finish should we choose?
Gold reads as the highest honour, silver as excellence, copper as warmth. Our guide to the three finishes explains when to combine them.
