Flower shaped jewelry

Jewels and flowers: an eternal bond, but that each jeweler interprets in his own way. Here are the jewels of flower power ♦
The link between flowers and jewelry is longstanding: flower power in jewelry is not a new discovery, as happens now in fashion. Maybe because petals and pistils are a source of inspiration, they do not set limits to the imagination, to the use of colors and shapes. A real godsend for any creative, insomuch as every year the floral theme is one of the coolest trends. In short, it never goes out of fashion and with a good reason, because often the results are amazing. Some examples: the collection of fine jewelry Secret Garden by Faberge, a triumph of precious stones surrounded by leaves of carved jade, that look like a bouquet of flowers.

Or the corolla collier by Pasquale Bruni, a soft lawn buds, in white diamonds and morganite. The ring Lily of the Masterpieces collection by Damiani There is also a branch of a cherry tree, a pink explosion that wraps around the finger with the opened ring by Moorphée Joaillerie or the intricate and climbing bracelet-ring by Wendy Yue.

And, yet, the Tree of Life in the earrings by Annushka, the fleshy orchid by Carrera y Carrera and the delicate one by Autore. All pieces of the highest craftsmanship. But if you want something more simple as a shepe but the same high-impact, Asprey now proposes its classic brand icon, Heritage Daisy stud earrings  with petals that fade in the diamonds pistil.

Autore’s pearls

Autore’s best pearl jewels, the result of a story that began 30 years ago. At the table ♦

Oil, tomato and a plate of pearls. Or, better, a plate of pasta, the typical Italian food, for the great pearl producers. Legend has it that this is how the professional story of Rosario Autore began, also thanks to Italian cuisine, in love with Australia and the spherical oyster products. But, obviously, also skilled in the kitchen. Over 30 years ago, according to the story, Autore put the Italian culinary tradition, his hobby, to good use in a dinner that allowed him to weave the necessary relationships to start the production and trade of South Sea pearls. , among the most valuable. And he probably didn’t imagine that he would become one of the largest pearl producers in the world.

After starting the cultivation of pearls, the Autore brand has also evolved as a jewelry manufacturer, with a proposal for collections that are not confined to the classic necklaces with a string of pearls, or to simple clip earrings, but also range to high jewelry.

Born in southern Italy, Rosario Autore learned the secrets of pearl trading and cultivation in Tokyo before moving to Australia at the age of 26. In Broome, Australia’s pearl cultivation capital, where he stopped and, thanks to that famous pasta dinner, he convinced some local producers to sell him pearls.

This is how the company’s history began in 2005. Now Autore owns and manages seven factories off the coasts of Australia and Indonesia. Each year it collects 300,000 pearls. He has also developed his own system of cataloging and evaluating pearls. The vast majority are sold, while about 4,000 South Sea pearls are used directly by the company, in the workshops where the jewels are made.

Galactic Autore

Stars, moon and galaxies are transformed into pearls in the collection by Autore ♦ ︎

From Australia to the Moon. It is not the space travel of a mission of NASA away, but the most romantic collection signed by Autore. The Italian jeweler who has been transplanting for 40 years in the land of kangaroos has created one of the biggest Maison specialized in pearls. Spheres that are daughters of the sea, but also have the nuanced color of the terrestrial satellite. And these daughters of the moon have inspired the Stars & Galaxies collection.

The pearls then become stars, satellites, planets, which gravitate around the woman who wears them.

The South Sea pearls are at the center of earrings and necklaces, sometimes surrounded by gold circles covered by small stones, like the rings of saturn, or fixed with frames that have the profile of a crescent moon. Or, again, in a frame that has the classic five-pointed star-shaped geometry. These galactic moons, moreover, just like the stars have different shades, from milky white to a golden hue, to the dark depth of the Tahiti pearls. All that remains is to put on a space suit and prepare for a trip to this precious galaxy. Giulia Netrese

A dragon by Autore




The Chinese dragon becomes a necklace in gold and baroque pearls in the imagination of Rosario Autore ♦ ︎

At the Couture Design Awards 2018 it won a piece of Italy, represented by Rosario Autore. He is an Italian of origin, but lives from years in Australia and specializes in pearls: he cultivates them, sells them, but he also uses them to make jewels of all kinds, from classic necklaces with a string of pearls, to complex jewels, where the spherical daughters of the sea have a prominent place. To be precise, however, we must add that the pearls used by Autore are not always perfectly round. On the contrary, the Italian-Australian jeweler uses baroque pearls for high-end pieces. Around their irregular shape creates the jewel. A model used, for example, in the Oceania collection, where baroque pearls are transformed into fish from tropical seas.
In Las Vegas, however, Autore won the Best in Pearls award with a necklace from South Sea pearls inspired by a completely different subject: a Chinese dragon. The necklace, in fact, is part of a line of jewelry dedicated to the icons of the great Asian country, starting with the dragon. Also in this case are used baroque pearls, which make up the body of the mythical animal, along with white gold and diamonds. Lavinia Andorno

The 15 winners of the Couture Awards






The 15 winners of the Couture Awards in Las Vegas. An Italian, Carolina Bucci, no Frenches, Fernando Jorge does an encore and … ♦ ︎
A rather disappointing show for Italian and French designers, judging by the winners of the Couture Design Awards. Only an Italian, Carolina Bucci (who then lives and works in London), no French and, to keep the flag of old Europe high, there are a Greek, Nikos Koulis, who is a subscriber to the triumphs on the Las Vegas stage, a Briton, Stephen Webster, and the Danish Shamballa. In any case, here are the 15 winners of the prize: 13 were selected by a jury and two by the public.

As mentioned, Carolina Bucci won the Best in Gold award with a jewel-scarf. The Florentine designer, in fact, often uses for his work a knitting in Florentine style, his homeland. Another little piece of Italy, in fact, was represented by Rosario Autore, an Italian who has been living in Australia for years and is specialized in pearls. In fact, he won the Best in Pearls award with a pearl necklace of the Mari del Su with his brand, Autore (it is the fourth prize he receives at Couture). Webster, instead, won in the Best in Innovative category with a pair of full circle earrings with diamonds.
The recognition as Best in Bridal was awarded to the American New York Eva Fehren, with a diamond ring that all the promised brides would like to receive. So much so that the designer does not want to sell it. From Cleveland, however, comes Heather B. Moore, winner of the Best in Silver award with a curious bracelet adorned with elephants. A gem against poaching, she said. Instead, she is the winner of the Best in Color Gemstones Under 20K $, Ann Korman, designer of Ark Fine Jewelry, with her earrings in opal and moonstone. The Best in Platinum has crossed the Pacific Ocean and landed in Japan, home of the Kuwayama brand, for a necklace composed of effervescent bubbles.
Other winners: Best in Colored, award for the best colored gemstones over 20,000 dollars, was won by the Indian Amrapali Jewels for a brooch with 50-carat emerald and one of the diamonds with “lotus cut”. Best in Diamonds Below $ 20K went to Studio Rêves for a pair of earrings, while the Best in Diamonds over $ 20K was won by Mike Joseph with an impressive cascade necklace.
Also awarded for the Best in Couture Design Award Men category by the Danish company Shamballa Jewels for the 18K gold-plated SJ Flip bracelet with gems. Best in Debuting went to Vram, Maison based in Los Angeles and founded by Vram Minassian. As mentioned, Nikos Koulis won the perhaps most prestigious award, Best in Haute Couture, for a necklace with diamonds, enamels and rock crystals. The Editor’s Choice went to the earrings of the Brazilian Fernando Jorge, who repeated last year’s prize in the Diamonds Above 20K $ category. Finally, the People’s Choice, voted live during the award show, went to Julez Bryant for a skull-shaped pendant. Giulia Netrese

The infinite variations of the pearls of the Timeless collection by Autore ♦ ︎
Jewelery is not a science, but Rosario Autore addresses the cultivation of pearls with a scientific spirit. So much so that he has begun in the generic search for the production of the pearl of the South Sea. It also formed a partnership with the University of Queensland, State of Australia, where the pearl industry and jeweler company is working by years, winning a award for research in 2016. “We are very proud of our innovation and achievements in pearl farming and our role in making significant inroads into understanding the relationship between gene expression and pearl quality”, Rosario Autore commented. years gives life to one of the most sophisticated Maison specializes in jewelery with pearls. They are collections that do not follow the fashion of the moment, but propose the white, black, golden gems, and many other shades, inserted into a classic object made of white gold, diamonds and adding small precious stones. Possible variations, as in the Timeless collection presented at the last Baselworld, are endless. Lavinia Andorno

The Renaissance of Alessio Boschi

Mark this name: Alessio Boschi. You will hear about him: in the area of jewelry he’s already known for years. But, before you hear about him, look in these photos the extraordinary work he does, and read his story, it’s worth it. Because Alessio Boschi is an artist of the jewel, an uncommon creative, a fusion cuisine’s five star chef applied to gems and gold. His unique pieces, well finished and more, are at once an indictment to the establishment of the jewelry. For two reasons: the first one is that the work of Alessio Boschi opens up a prevailing conformism, even in fine jewelery. The second one is that he, Italian born and graduated in Rome, prides itself on using Asian craftsmanship «and believe me, there are works are almost impossible to get in Italy on grounds of cost and because they are relatively new», explains Alessio to Gioiellis. «One of these is the bazel setting in microscope with tiny stones that blend in different shadows of color: in Bangkok there is an excellent manufacture with more than twenty years of experience. In short, only in Asia there are so skilled artisans in this kind of job. Let’s be clear: I am not the only one. In fact, all the big names in jewelry, both Italian, and French and American, have produced in Asia at least part of their jewels. Only there they do not say it. Of course, in Italy there are others excellent, for example, there are engravers who perform millimetre fissures in the stone to enter a gold leaf so that the stone preserves its transparency: instead of covering the stone he works from the inside. So for the flowering Wisteria necklace, I had the milky aquamarine cut in petals in Bangkok, and then in Italy I had the gold foliage».
