Giovanni Raspini Vanitas

The Vanitas collection by Giovanni Raspini: burnished or gilded silver to represent ironic skulls ♦ ︎

Vanitas, Latin word which means vanity. Needless. Because life is short and everything passes. With this heavy reflection the painters of the Renaissance and the subsequent Baroque period realized paintings with still lifes in which a skull was also represented, symbol of the transience of human existence. It was also a style in keeping with the spirituality of the time, maybe a little excessive for current tastes. But, curiously, the skull icon has continued to fascinate artists, albeit in another way. Four hundred years later, in fact, here is the hard rock, heavy metal music, or the neo romantics who use the skull with the intent to instill fear, even if there is nothing more vital than a band that plays on the stage in front to thousands of young people alive and happy.
After this premise, it should be added that the shape of the skull was also adopted by jewelry, as in the Vanitas collection by Giovanni Raspini. The Italian king of silver has prepared ten pieces selected from his great exhibition entitled Vanitas Mundi, realized in late 2017. From the exhibition of sculptures derive the skulls used in an ironic and pop key. As evidenced by the great Vanitas del Mare Pendant (in gilded silver and natural stones assembled in fusion), or the skull and snake bangle or the skull graduate bracelet, in burnished silver.

Dior, high-jewelry three time

A new collection of high jewelry by the Maison: lace, gold and stones with Dior Dior Dior ♦ ︎

After the gardens of Versailles and the baroque decorations of the great residence of the French kings, here is another noble inspiration from Victoire de Castellane, who leads Dior’s fine jewelry with great expertise. The new collection, in fact, is inspired by the art of lace. After all, it was a type of fabric widely used by those who lived in the court of Versailles. The high jewelry collection includes 65 pieces. And, to testify that the maximum of the novelty is what has already happened, Victoire de Castellane has used Christian Dior’s archival images, choosing between embroidery and arabesques to make necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings rich in emeralds, blue sapphires and rose, rubies, tanzanites, diamonds, etc.
Presented in the Paris haute couture week, the collection had an unusual stage: the Museum of Modern Art, where it was visible for three days by the public, together with a exhibition of Dior’s jewelery production, which celebrated its 20th anniversary: in fact, it was created in 1998. In short, from the aristocratic past to the democratic present.
The decision to draw inspiration from embroideries and lace, however, is also linked to the other soul of Dior, that of fashion. In fact, the effect of the lace recreated with gold threads is present throughout the collection and recalls Christian Dior’s atelier. And the collection underlines this “diorism”: it is not by chance that it has been entitled Dior, Dior, Dior. In short, Dior three times.
Large cocktail rings with colored stones of appropriate size, bracelets with shimmering stones, bracelets where flowers appear among the embroideries and integrate with the light gold embroidery. Jewels worthy of the Dior tradition and the most noble haute couture. Matilde de Bounville

A dragon by Autore

La collana vincitrice al Couture di las Vegas per la categoria Best in Pearls

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

A collection composed only of earrings: it is called Sogni, it is proposed by Rosato ♦ ︎

Only earrings. For lovers of jewelry to wear in the earlobes, here is the Sogni di Rosato collection (Bros Manifatture group). This is a collection of bijoux at an affordable price, ranging from a minimum of 24 euros up to a maximum of 36 euros (for each single piece). It is a line of small jewels with a very varied appearance: from the earrings with a wing shape, the sign of infinity, eye, to the simple button pieces, hanging, up to a series of earrings with a prism of semi precious stone. For example, amazonite, agate, rock crystal, lapis lazuli, rose quartz. They can be worn individually, in pairs, but also unpaired, one different from the other. In addition to silver and rose quartz, the earrings are also adorned with small cubic zirconia stones, in some cases used for thin pavé. Alessia Mongrando

Cartier’s Coloratura

Anello Holika in oro bianco, con rubellite al centro, crisoberillo, tormalina

Coloratura collection by Cartier: 240 incredible pieces of high jewelery ♦ ︎

What is more infinite than a nuance? Unable to count the individual points that make up a hue. On the other hand, it is possible to paint with colors a maxi collection of fine jewelry, as Cartier did: 240 pieces, each a world in itself. The collection is called Coloratura, an Italian word that refers to the virtuosity of lyrical singers. In Italian, in fact, it is a term that is used for a particular kind of singing, those variations, virtuosities, often improvised by the singer with vocalizations, trills and vocal preciousness. In short, something exceptional and pleasant. If you carry this concept into the world of high jewelery, the coloratura of the Coloratura collection turns into a kind of hyper virtuosity of contrasts between Asia and the West, references to Japan, the complexity of India and even the European imaginary of Africa. In this way it is also a universal collection, which meets the taste of different people, with different cultures and sensibilities. And where the coloring is, of course, that of the stones.
For example, there is a choker called Yoshino, reminiscent of sapphires and diamonds with cherry blossoms in Japan. Or a bracelet, Holika, inspired by the famous Holi Indian feast, where everyone is colored, with a 65 carat rubellite in the center, but also tourmaline and crisoberillo pearls, mounted on voluminous circle earrings. Or, again, the Chromaphonia necklace, which is composed of 22 Baroque emeralds from Afghanistan (very rare), and which is inspired by the typical costumes of Hungary. Inspired by Africa is the Kanaga suite, with triangular cut and baguette diamonds, which can be found at the end of a necklace with strands of small spinel pearls. Really a collection for specialists in coloratura, the divas. Margherita Donato

The bees of Delfina Delettrez

The bees of Delfina Delettrez fly in the form of rings, necklace and earrings. And they don’t sting ♦ ︎

After the beetles, here are the bees. Delfine Delettrez in 2017 had designed an collection dedicated to insects to exorcise her entomophobia, that is fear of spiders, cockroaches and the like. But, perhaps, it does not have as much fear of honey producers. And here, then, the collection called with humour To Bee or not to Bee, paraphrasing the famous monologue of Hamlet, where the verb to be is replaced by the word bee. The jewels-bees are made with 18-carat yellow gold, black diamonds and yellow sapphires, in some cases with the addition of pearls and citrines. In short, it is perhaps the only way to make friends with bees without the risk of being stung.
It is another stage of the now vast production of Delfina Delettrez, the fourth generation of the Fendi family, who presented her first jewelery collection in October 2007 in Colette, Paris. Since 2010 she has also been the youngest designer with a permanent collection at the Musée des Arts Decoratif of the Louvre. Cosimo Muzzano

The collection Red Carpet 2018, by Chopard, a festival of precious gems and exotic inspirations ♦ ︎

Chopard in 2018 has reached the 21 years of sponsorship of the Cannes Film Festival. It is Chopard’s, among other things, the golden palm given to the winners. On the occasion of the film festival Chopard presents new jewelry ideas. But above all, Chopard presents new collections of high-end jewelery at the same time as the Paris-Haute-Haute-Couture Week 2018-2019 which are inspired by the Cannes Film Festival. It is called, in fact, Red Carpet 2018 the collection consists of 71 jewels created under the artistic direction of Caroline Scheufele. The number 71 is not accidental, because it is also the age just completed of the Festival that is celebrated on the Croisette.
Some of the necklaces, earrings and rings made of emeralds from Colombia, diamonds, rubies, blue apatites, purple garnets, red jasper, sapphires and many other precious elements, deviate from the classic style of high jewelery: they are inspired by the travels around the artistic director’s world. It is also a way of remembering the times when the family members of Caroline Scheufele were traveling with suitcases of valuables from one royal court to another. The jewels seem to be inspired by an exotic, Central American, Asian or African style, with unusual designs and bright colors that look like macramé fabrics. The effect is really impressive: they also deserve a Golden Palm. Lavinia Andorno

The 12 musical rings of Pietro Ferrante: dedicated to the great rock stars ♦ ︎

The silver jewels have accompanied the seventies: from the oriental ones of Indian origin, to those of Central America worn by mexican women. These jewelry were liked, above all, by new generation, the young hippies, and wore by many rock stars. That’s why the Milanese jeweler Pietro Ferrante decided to tie a series of silver rings to a series of protagonists of the music scene that goes from the Sixties to the Eighties.
All, however, in tune with rock music, also various genres: from the sweet and rhythmic of Elvis Presley to the melodic rock David Bowie, to that of the Rolling Stones, through Led Zeppelin, Patti Smith, Bon Jovi, AC / DC and Bruce Springsteen. The rings, as required by the rock tradition, are all unisex in 925 silver, made entirely by hand in Italy thanks to the ancient technique of lost wax. They are twelve rings, with or without small studs, which can be chosen even without ever having heard before the songs sung by the stars to which the jewel is matched. But if you listen to them, it’s better. Lavinia Andorno

High jewelery, the Régalia of Vuitton

Louis Vuitton presents the new collection of high jewelry, Régalia, which marks the debut of Francesca Amfitheatrof ♦ ︎

It was a surprise to many the release of Francesca Amfitheatrof from Tiffany and the subsequent landing at Louis Vuitton, in April. And, still, many they were curious to observe the first steps of the new creative director for jewelry. Here they are satisfied, even if the new collection of fine jewelry, Conquêtes – Régalia, is likely to be the result at least in part of the previous work, since jewels of that type are made in long weeks of work, preceded by an equally long selection of stones.
Régalia is, therefore, a new chapter in the Conquêtes collection, and is inspired by the signs of kings and emperors, that is to say, to the heraldry (the codes of the coats of arms) and the study of the honors, orders and decorations. That said it looks like something a little dusty. But it’s just an inspiration. In reality it is the classic collection of high-end jewelry typical of Vuitton, where the emblem refers to the Maison, the letter V that repeats itself in the form of gold covered with diamonds and becomes the design around which the jewel rotates, or the four lobes of the flower of the Vuitton logo, always mentioned, but without the brand overwhelming the balance of the jewel.
The collection is quite large: Régalia consists of seven sets and around 60 pieces. A falls of diamonds, of course, but also an accurate research of the colored stones, around which the different pieces are composed. Large emeralds, but also red spinels, mint green tourmalines, large yellow sapphires, tsavorite. They are the same stones to be an emblem, of luxury and wealth. Giulia Netrese

Messika, fairy-tale jewelry

Particolare della collana Collana Bright Falcon

High jewelry by Messika: traditional fairy tales are transformed into incredible pieces. Indeed, fabulous ♦ ︎

Being raised with a menu of bread and diamonds is certainly a diet that only a few can say they have followed. But, probably, it is the perfect diet for a jeweler, judging by the result obtained by Valérie Messika. Diamonds were her childhood playmates and, now, they are her working tools. Better, they are tools for the composition of jewelry that are comparable to works of art.
During the Paris Haute Couture Week, Messika presented other high-end jewelery pieces from the Once Upon a Time collection. “Combining my passion for diamonds with my love for fashion, I rewrote some of the stories that once enchanted me when I was a child,” explained the queen of diamonds. “I reinterpreted the stories of these old tales with an ultramodern vision and avant-garde style inspired by the latest fashion trends”.

Eternal Soul necklace, The Little Mermaid inspired

The Little Mermaid
This is the case, for example, of the Little Mermaid, a large necklace with a large emerald-cut diamond in the center. Also the other diamonds, arranged on about fifty fringes, have the same cut. The fringes move and dance just like the waves among which the Little Mermaid lives.
Another exceptional chapter in the series is the Undine Set. It takes the name of a story from the Romantic period, written in 1811 by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué. The story tells the tragic story of an Undine, aquatic female spirit of Nordic folklore. Messika interprets it as a tribute to the world of high fashion, inspired by the most exclusive trends in the world of catwalks. The set consists of a necklace with emerald and brilliant-cut diamonds, a pair of earrings, a bracelet and a ring. The set inspired by the Snow Queen, however, prefers the pear-cut, to pay tribute to the heroine of the fairy tale, who uses his courage to free himself from the hypnotic winter queen.
Another chapter: The Bright Falcon, which refers to an ancient Russian fairy tale. The necklace of this series is nothing short of spectacular. By eye, more than 300 marquise cut diamonds will be used with an overall design that alludes to the wings of a falcon. For this necklace Messika has used various colors and cuts of diamonds (in the middle there is an emerald cut) and a technique specifically studied in the Maison’s laboratory that allows flexibility and ergonomics.
The collection also includes special pieces such as a ring with marquise cut diamonds, or the Radiant ring, with an amazing fancy yellow diamond of over 7 carats. It is appropriate to say that they are a fairy tale jewelry. Giulia Netrese

Boucheron flowers from the Nature Triomphante collection: extraordinary high jewelery ♦ ︎

Despite the coexistence between flowers and jewels is difficult, continuing over time, almost like the one between Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Where is the difficulty in this marriage is soon said: first of all to interpret a flower is not simple, if you want to propose something original. Secondly, a jewel that does not limit itself to making just a simple idea of the flower, meets great technical difficulties. If, then, the goal is a jewel of great quality as well as precious, only a few designers succeed.
Claire Choisne, creative director of Boucheron, has succeeded it. And during the week of haute couture she presented the new high-end jewelry collection of the Maison. The jewels of the Nature Triomphante collection are a triumph not only for the refined selection of the materials used, but also for the complicated, difficult choice of construction. For example, in some cases the rock crystal was carved from the inside to accommodate diamonds and gold. The floral rings, moreover, were made with a touch of unusual naturalism, which at first glance could make the jewel exchange for an authentic flower. Also thanks to the processing technique of titanium, which takes on color and a finish that makes them become small masterpieces. More: true flower petals are applied, without pigments or chemicals to titanium surfaces. Thus a flower becomes eternal.
To achieve this level Boucheron has carefully studied the plants: as in the case of the necklace with ivy leaves that has been reproduced, including veins, after a digital scan of the foliage of a real plant. Or Nuage de Fleurs, a necklace of small hydrangea flowers in rose gold, with mother-of-pearl in pale pink, gray and cream, with petals with diamonds similar to drops of dew. In short, a true triumph of high jewelry. Giulia Netrese

Mikimoto is the best known name of the Japanese high jewelry. La Maison specializes in pearls and is known for its refined choice, from Akoya to those of the South Seas. But, in addition to pearls, it can also offer pieces of high jewelery. And he does it with his special sensitivity, all Japanese. For 2018, for example, the high jewelery collection is called Praise to Nature, and is obviously inspired by the natural, floral and marine world. Pearls and diamonds are combined in light and versatile structures, almost like watercolor drawings by an artist from the Meiji period. In total, the new collection includes 12 necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets and brooches. Some pieces are truly extraordinary, like the necklace with a big sapphire, with Akoya pearls and navette-cut little aquamarines that look like small fish swimming in the middle of the waves. Or the necklace with five strands of pearls to climb and a large Paraiba tourmaline, which represents the purity of the water, surrounded by butterflies made of pavé diamonds. Giulia Netrese

Those who have never been to Hong Kong, but know Wendy Yue’s artisan jewelry, can imagine that the Asian city is a species of Earthly Paradise. Flowers and leaves grow lush, the colors shine in the clear air. Hong Kong, instead, has another kind of charm, but not the one related to flora. The designer, however, manages to imagine a private garden, with plants not exactly similar to those found in nature and, perhaps for this reason, even more fascinating.
Imaginative cocktail rings, bracelets and earrings are made of precious and colored stones that form a non-replicable world. This is also why his unique pieces of jewelry are prey to collectors who do not let them escape. As evidenced by the recent trunk show on Moda Operandi, which saw Wendy Yue’s jewelry go sold out. But of course, like all the flowers, the jewels of the Chinese designer will also grow back. Cosimo Muzzano

The record ring with 6690 diamonds

Here is the ring with more diamonds set: they are 6690 and entered the Guinness Book of Records ♦ ︎

Jewels are not just objects created for the pleasure of being worn. They are also made to amaze. Indeed, to conquer the Guinness Book of Records. Two Indian jewelers have succeeded, Vishal Agarwal and Khushbu Agarwal, who have conquered the Guinness World Record for the highest number of diamonds set in a ring. Their record is 6,690 diamonds set in a large ring with the shape of the flower most loved by the Indians, the lotus.
The stones are set on an 18-carat rose gold ring with 48 petals. The jewel has an estimated value of over 4.1 million dollars and weighs just over 58 grams.
The Indian jewelers have beaten the previous record, which was since 2015 by Savio Jewelery with a Peacock ring with 3827 diamonds.
Vishal Agarwal created the design of the ring and Khushbu Agarwal, owner of Hanumant Diamonds, produced the piece. It took six months to design and create.
It is not immediately clear why, according to the Guinness World Records, the ring was inspired by the desire to raise awareness on the importance of water conservation. Agree that the lotus grows in swamps, lakes and ponds, but the ring seems more inspired by the desire to enter the record book. It succeeded. Giulia Netrese

This sparkling ring features 6,690 cut diamonds set on 36 petals of a golden flower by Indian craftsmen Vishal Agarwal and Khushbu Agarwal 💍✨ "We crafted 'The Lotus Ring' to depict the beauty growing in water. Another motivation of choosing lotus as our theme is that the lotus is the national ﬂower of India." 💎 "The ring is created in 18 karat pink [rose] gold, weighing a total of 58.176 gms, and studded with 6690 round brilliant cut diamonds of E 8: F Color, WS clarity, weighing 16.42 carat." ______________________________________________________ #ring #jewelry #jewelrydesigner #jewelrymaking #diamonds #diamondring #gold #goldring #lotus #flower #guinnessworldrecords #officiallyamazing #officiallyamazing #bling #rosegold

The virtual world enters jewelry with the first store of Marlù ♦ ︎

The world of jewelry is largely linked to traditions. And this applies above all to the last part of the journey of a jewel, that is, sale. There is no place less tied to the time of a jewelry store, with its soft armchairs and soft lighting. Probably it will remain so for a long time, also because a certain type of clientele seeks precisely that sense of exclusivity that that get with this kind of furnitures.
But the times they are changing, not all customers are the same, not all jewels are created for the same type of audience. Here, then, that are coming ways of selling in tune with the times and, especially with the tastes of younger buyers, accustomed to live in the digital age. This news, in short, should not be taken lightly: the case of Marlù may, instead, be the first experiment of a long series.
Basically the novelty is this: in conjunction with the opening of the first monobrand in Rome of Marlù, in the Romaest shopping center, the Romagna brand of the Fabbri sisters inaugurates its first virtual boutique. You use it by downloading a free app on your smartphone (from the app stores for iPhone or Android). The app allows you to navigate in interactive mode, even in 3D, inside the store, discovering the products. Thanks to VR Experience technology, each collection «refers to dreamlike journeys that enhance its spirit and imagination, making it live in the round of the visitor. Also wanting in a three-dimensional dimension, thanks to the glasses that are available to the public in the Roman store “. It will be interesting to verify the impact, but it is a novelty for the world of jewelry.
Marlù offers five collections: Namastè, dedicated to oriental cults (cult product, the prayer bracelet) #TimeTo, Be woman, In my heart and Man. All jewels not virtual, of course. Rudy Serra
