Goodbye to Iris Arpfel, between fashion and jewels

The imaginative jewelery of Iris Arpfel, the fashion muse who passed away at the age of 102.

Until the venerable age of 102, Iris Apfel continued to fly the flag of fashion, even when it came to jewelry. Perhaps the Mediterranean diet is not the medicine that makes you live long, but the pleasure of wearing ever new colors and shapes, who knows, perhaps you had a say in the matter. In any case, the white-haired trendesetter had launched the Peculiar bijoux line a few years ago, linked to the Tim Burton film, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (in Italian: Miss Peregrine – La Casa dei Ragazzi Speciali).

Catena con ciondolo a forma di gabbia per uccelli
Bird cage pendant chain

“The concept for that film aligns well with my personal perspective on style and life in general,” Apfel explained. “I am a huge fan of Tim Burton and his work and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be part of a project that celebrates individuality.” The collection includes a black feather necklace, a pendant necklace bird cage, a ring with crystals. It will no longer be possible to say that age clouds the imagination. Goodbye Iris.

Orange-colored spring for Brosway

How many shades does the color orange have? Impossible to list them all. But in Europe and America, surveys indicate that orange is the color most associated with fun, the unconventional, extroversion, warmth, fire, energy, activity, danger, taste and to the aroma. And, although orange is also an autumn color, it is also perfect for spring. In Asia, it is also an important symbolic color in Buddhism and Hinduism.

The accessible jewelery brand Brosway offers a series of jewels from the Fancy line centered precisely on this colour, called Vitamin Orange.

Leather Hearts in Love Lane

Tender hearts, but resistant like leather. The accessible jewelry brand Alviero Martini 1A Classe presents for Valentine’s Day with the Love Lane jewelry collection. Like much of the jewelry that intercepts the celebration of lovers, the collection puts the heart design at the center of the design according to the style of the brand, famous for the geographical maps printed on the bags. In this case, the classic Geo Map print on the leather is instead adopted by the jewels. For this reason, the name of the collection remains linked to the theme of travel: Love Lane is a small street in Dublin, known for its explosive colors and the adorable messages written on its walls.

Breil’s Valentine’s Day jewels

The metaphor is that of the knot, symbol of a close and indivisible bond, imagined to be consciously accepted in the couple’s relationship: with this idea Breil proposes the Tie Up line in view of Valentine’s Day 2024. The Valentine’s Day, marked by special evenings, perhaps combined with a gift for your partner, it therefore takes on a symbolic value even in the choice of jewellery. The Tie Up collection, like the previous B&ME Knot Love line, still focuses on the concept of the shape of the metal that curves to form a knot, but not only that. Another element that marks the collection concerns a reworking of the chain.

Steel bracelet

Necklaces and bracelets in this case are attached with elongated elements. In the case of necklaces, the adjustable closure allows you to easily change the size. Breil jewelery is made of polished steel, also in the version with a gold-coloured finish. The price of the necklaces is 119 euros, the bracelet 79 euros, for the ring it drops to 45 euros.

Bijoux by L’Arabesque to celebrate

Parties, dinners, drinks, toasts: events with lots of people are occasions for fun and are sometimes accompanied by the worry of wearing jewelery that is too expensive, which can get damaged or, worse, can attract the attention of bad guys. The solution in these cases is to wear quality jewellery. They cost more than the cheap ones on the stalls, but they are also much more beautiful. Not only that: bijoux with pedigree, signed by some famous Maison, such as Trifari, or which have a special history behind them, are also a small investment, because they can be resold.

Orecchini con cristalli
Earrings with crystals

An example of these ornaments are those of L’Arabesque, a boutique in Milan that offers clothing, accessories, but also bijoux de couture and costume jewellery. To celebrate in complete tranquility, sautoirs, necklaces, brooches, necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings are offered, in silver and non-silver, in semi-precious stones and synthetic gems. The bijoux includes pieces by master bijoutiers of the twentieth century.
L’Arabesque is an idea born in 2010 on the initiative of Chichi Meroni, it is located in the center of Milan and combines design, fashion, hard-to-find books, perfumes and a collection of French bijoux de couture and American costume jewellery.

Brosway jewels for Christmas

Necklaces, rings, earrings for the Christmas holidays: the important thing is that they shine. But also that they are offered at an accessible price. This is what Brosway, an Italian brand that has also been sparkling in the USA for some time, where it has opened a branch, offers. Brosway’s Christmas jewelery is not only characterized by a low price, but also by its robustness. Many jewels use hypoallergenic steel: a hygienic material, resistant to stains, scratches and easy to clean, as well as being hypoallergenic, resistant to the corrosive effect of sweat, dust and humidity.

Some pieces, such as the Ribbon necklace, also use small zircons, a semi-precious stone, which resembles the appearance of a diamond. Zircon, rather than being composed of carbon, takes its name from zirconium silicate, a crystal known for its physical properties such as brightness. Other jewels, however, use silver, even gold plated and cubic zirconia (which is instead a synthetic gem).

The fantasy journey of 12Pm

Fantastic journey from science fiction to jewelry: Michela Trento is the founder of the jewelry brand 12PM. And his new DarkSide collection, made of bronze, with black enamel, hand-frosted to make it opaque and unique, lends itself to being the subject of a fantastic story. The novelty concerns the small stylized drawings of a Dragon, a Carp and a Heron, imprinted on the enamel. Not only that: each jewel is linked to the story of two imaginary characters: Amina and Karbo. In the fantasy narrative of 12Pm, the two characters love each other, but they are divided, a curse separates them, condemning them to an existence made up of leaps between different worlds, times and spaces.

Anello in bronzo e smalto nero
Ring in bronze and black enamel

Amina and Karbo are then separated into two distant, forgotten and unreachable dimensions, except once every 12 months, at 12 pm and for 12 hours. Numerical conjunction that connects the history with the Michela Trento brand, which alongside jewelery cultivates a passion for the world of fashion and for art in the form of illustration and design.

Breil’s folded jewels

Twisted, folded, softened metal: the Retwist collection by Breil revolves around this concept. The idea of the Milanese jewelry brand is to use surfaces that fold on themselves with an effect that can recall the works of Escher, the artist who guessed in his paintings impossible constructions, explorations of the infinite, impossible superpositions of the plane and space. Retwist which is made up of necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings. The minimal design enhances the consistency of the steel which offers surfaces of different colours. The collection features semi-rigid necklaces in polished steel, in versions with a gold or silver finish, shiny and satin, which are tied to a chain with an adjustable lobster clasp closure.

Kalevala, the jewels from the big chili

The Finnish brand Kalevala Jewelry presents, among others, the Kosmos collection designed by the Italian Antonio Mazzamauro ♦

The big chill jewelry. Or, if you prefer, the favorite jewelry by the Finns. Kalevala Jewelry is one of the most popular brands ever in the Scandinavian country. The company has a long history: it was founded by a writer, Elsa Heporauta, in 1930, in a fairly random fashion. In fact, her goal was to raise funds to erect a statue in honor of the Finnish woman.

Elsa Heporauta
Elsa Heporauta

Elsa and other women have decided to make and sell jewelry inspired by those from the Viking era. They started with the selection of 40 models from the historical collections of the National Museum of Finland. The first collection was in 1937 and debuted at a tea party with the First Lady of Finland, Kaisa Kallio. But the Second World War interrupted the project. The company, however, was reborn in 1947 and the brand has focused on new designers. The business took off. This is not a small craft brand: is a company that produces jewelry with Nordic design, but mass. With some differences, it is a kind of Ikea of jewels. Everything, however, is produced in Finland, bronze, silver or gold. With the success the dream of Elsa Heporauta finally came true and the statue of the Finnish woman resides in the premises of Kalevala jewelry factory in Pitäjänmäki, Helsinki. If you like, the jewelry are also sold online.

Ilenia Corti between dream and reality

Ilenia Corti: jewelry, fashion, fantasy, made in Italy, eclecticism, tradition, accessories, dream… ♦︎

In some old photos circulating on the web, she resembles a very bad movie character: Bellatrix Lestrange from the Harry Potter series. In reality Ilenia Corti is not bad, but creative. You are among the designers in the fluid area of fashion which is also most appreciated internationally, as well as by prestigious brands with which you have worked. Names like Dolce & Gabbana, Casadei, Cacharel, Acne Studios, Marimekko, Emilio Pucci, Moschino. But, even if her work is difficult to classify, jewelry is her starting point: she grew up in a family of jewelers, Santagostino di Valenza, active since 1969. And it is Santagostino who creates the collections designed by Ileana.

Collezione Microcosm,anello in oro giallo con decorazioni a forma di rana, funghi
Microcosm collection, yellow gold ring with frog and mushroom decorations

With a family of jewelers behind her and the atmosphere of Valenza, the Italian capital of high jewellery, the designer adores the Scandinavian atmospheres, the chromatic notes of her uncontaminated landscapes. Her style? Between childhood memories, tropical suggestions, with orchids, poisonous frogs, Amazonian foliage, climbing monkeys, carnivorous plants. The mix of materials used is also eclectic: from diamonds to Swarovski crystals, from silver to simple golden brass. Each creation is modeled and finely carved by hand, right down to the cuts and settings of the stones.

Con alle spalle una famiglia di gioiellieri e l’atmosfera di Valenza, capitale italiana adell’alta gioielleria, la designer adora le atmosfere scandinave, le note cromatiche dei suoi paesaggi incontaminati.  Il suo stile?Tra ricordi di infanzia, suggestioni tropicali,  con orchidee, rane velenose, foliage amazzonico, scimmie rampicanti, piante carnivore. È eclettico anche il mix di materiali utilizzato: dai diamanti ai cristalli Swarovski, dall’argento al semplice ottone dorato. Ogni creazione è modellata e finemente intagliata a mano, fino ai tagli e alle incastonature delle pietre.

Boccadamo with the hidden geometries of Caleida

Caleida, a female first name found in the Anglo-Saxon world, although it is quite rare. But it is also a word that is associated with the kaleidoscope, a visual game which, thanks to a system of mirrors, composes complex geometric shapes. The name derives from the Greek kalos, that is, beautiful, the word eîdos, form, and skopèō, which means to observe. How many meanings behind the name Caleida, chosen by Boccadamo for a line of his jewellery. The jewels in the collection are made with a smooth surface, with white cubic zirconia pavé.

Bells for Boccadamo

The bell is one of the subjects that is often used in jewelry. Now Boccadamo is re-proposing it as a pendant for necklaces. But, in addition to the world of jewelry, bells are often linked to people’s memories and experiences. The sound of a bell can remind us of the beginning or end of lessons at school, the call of a bell tower, or a more rural experience, such as that of cows or goats grazing. In short, the bell, in addition to being a decorative object, is also linked to episodes engraved in the memory.

Collane Campanelle
Necklaces Campanelle

Boccadamo’s pendant necklaces are quite long, rhodium-plated or yellow gold-plated, with the addition of cubic zirconia to offer some extra sparkle. The base of the bells is hand-enamelled, while the surface is decorated, in contrast, with hearts and stars available in a wide color palette, which ranges from softer shades such as pearly white, pink and light blue to more decisive ones such as coral red, green and purple.

Amle, the South you do not expect

If you aren’t from South Italy, as you imagine it? Easy: color, vibrancy, exuberant nature. It is with these images in the heart that a decade ago was born Amle in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, Province of Caserta.

But the beauty is that these traditional materials are used to combine bijoux colorful and modern. By the way, the Amle name is formed from the initials of the family: Alice, Marisa, Luca, Ermenegilda. The summer 2023 collection, portrayed in the images with the advice of art director Marco Ferra and the photographs of Victor Santiago, is called Costiera, like that stretch of sea and land in Campania famous all over the world.

Brosway for Barbie-mania

One of the two films that have attracted the most attention in the summer of 2023 is Barbie. The fantasy comedy directed by Greta Gerwig and written by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach is inspired by the famous Barbie dolls by Mattel. Only in the film the doll is played by a real actress, Margot Robbie as Barbie, and by Ryan Gosling as Ken. The idea of a Barbie on a journey of self-discovery after an existential crisis was liked and sparked a Barbie-mania even in the adult public.
