Recarlo renews the line Eternity with bracelets and rings in gold and diamonds.
A jewelry collection named Eternity only can continue indefinitely. They currently it’s 12 years, when Recarlo has proposed this line made in the classic combination of white gold and diamonds.

Here, then, that for autumn-winter 2016 the Valenza brand offers new pieces, in line with the aesthetics of those who have gone before them. But with some variations. First innovation is a rigid bracelet, available in a more minimal version with a single diamond, to the richer version with seven diamonds suspended from griffes “high and important.” The form is quite ergonomic, smooth and soft, to make it easy to wear the jewel without regret mid-evening. Another eternal variation: the ring icon of the fashion house becomes even more valuable. Now on the list also appears the version with five diamonds. Prices: the bracelet with one diamond costs 1399 euro, while the version with seven diamonds go up to 6000. But Recarlo also presented other news, which we will publish in the coming days.

Raspini, bamboo to wear
The new silver jewelry of Giovanni Raspini: the Bamboo collection.
He who loves silver wants to feel its texture, admire the shine, and feel it. And there are even those who would not exchange their necklace in white metal whith a gold equivalent. Matter of feelings. But also matter of shapes and proposals: Giovanni Raspini, Florentine jeweler who made of silver a religion, knows this well. And so he don’t stop to renew its collections and introduces pieces or proposes a completely new line. For the 2016-17 winter, for example, the latest news can be found in the collections Bamboo and Intrecci. On this page we look at the first of the two.

The bamboo elements here take the form of a new gem with a very intense chiaroscuro, where the plastic appearance and burnishing give a unique identity for a woman who loves the important object of great personality. The collection offers four necklaces, four bracelets, three rings, two earrings and a pendant. Giulia Netrese

It’s called Arche de Noe (Noah’s Ark), but you could also call the Bob’s Ark (Wilson).

You can see the jewelry in Paris, until 26 September at the Hotel d’Evreux. True to its essential style, Bob Wilson chose a minimalist staging, with a curious contrast between the boards and their contents: the environment is, in fact, a kind of big black box that represents the interior of a ship, in which they placed the box with jewelery. The broochs of the French Maison are as always a blaze of virtuosity goldsmiths, with precious stones that come to life in the animal forms. “The idea of these sixty pairs of animals Noah’s Ark born from a painting by Jan Brueghel the Elder kept at the Musée Getty in Los Angeles, called The admission of animals to Noah’s ark,” he had explained Nicolas Bos, President of the Maison. “I will never forget the shock I felt when I found myself in front of this painting”, said.

Costantino Rota undercover
The globetrotting jewelry products in Valenza by Costantino Rota.
Do not expect to find around jewels with the brand Costantino Rota. Yet this company, which produces excellent pieces, will perform soon a century old. It was founded, in fact, in 1921 by the goldsmith Costantino Rota in Valenza. It seems that in addition to being a skilled craftsman, Costantino Rota also possessed a good sense of smell as an entrepreneur and, which is not bad, it was also appreciated. Its activity lasted until 1955, when he passed the helm to his son Dario, who continued his father’s business with the same attention to quality. On the other hand, in Valenza it is not difficult to recruit artisans with almost superhuman capacity and for this Maison from many other countries are turning to Valenza businesses to achieve their collections, which will then be sold under their brand name. And it is more or less what happens to Constantine Rota, detected by Cremonini & Malfatti, who sells her jewelry primarily abroad, in Europe and in Japan. The company transformed from a craft laboratory in a factory, did not want to give up their initial prerogatives. So if will pass under the eyes the jewelry products from Costantino Rota, you’ll never know. Giulia Netrese
Vhernier, the Calla is made in titanium
The necklace Calla by Vhernier is now made with titanium: image and price.
Every great jewelery company has, just like a musician, what are its strong points. But, unlike a singer or someone who plays a musical instrument, it may easy introduce changes that are appreciated by his fans. In short, the piece of success is almost always followed by some changes that leave intact the original flavor, but renewed the look. This is the case of the Calla necklace, one of the best-known Vhernier jewelry. La Maison Valenza it now proposes a version made of titanium and diamonds. Presented in May, it is ready for commercialization. Its price is of 29.800 €. It is not the first jewel of Vhernier employing this flexible, but strong metal.
To use it for jewelry, however, it is a real challenge, won by the design skills of the Piedmontese brand. The Calla necklace has become famous in the rose gold version or the more unusual, rose gold with ebony or rose gold and kogolong. In this case, the small diamonds stand out against the gray metal with a nice contrast. Giulia Netrese
Folies by de Grisogono
The new Folies collection by de Grisogono.
It was a birthday with a particularly valuable, to Fawaz Gruosi, soul and mind of de Grisogono. The party organized in Sardinia by the Geneva jeweler, with the usual celebrity outline, also saw the debut of the Folies collection. As in the tradition of de Grisogono, it is jewelry that combine the concept of luxury with that of refined choice of materials and design. A proper context, that of the party (which we publish some images), with the jewels seem designed just for friends of Gruosi. But the cheerful atmosphere should not obscure the work and the selection of the materials used. As in the case of the one-of-a-kind necklace with diamonds. It was created with white diamonds for over 90 carats, with six stones shaped like a pear. But inside it has a row of blue sapphires, almost invisible, in addition to a number of openwork decoration, with motifs characteristic of the Maison. Another outstanding piece is the ring with a large ruby natural Burmese (unheated) 8 carats, with an oval cut. The stone is surrounded by four jaws realized in turn with rubies and diamonds, while the ring shank is composed of a crown of diamond and by a row of rubies that move like a wave. All it mounted on rose gold. Noteworthy also the earrings composed of two rectangular emeralds hung from a small cascade of emeralds and sapphires. They must be liked guests to Fawaz. Lavinia Andorno
Dior for the autumn evenings
Collection Fall 2016 Dior Crystal, jewelry sober but not too for the night life.
Dior succeeds in the difficult art of proposing high jewelry next to collections that are less elaborate, are made of less noble materials of gold and diamonds, but at the same time contain their own aesthetic message. As with Dior Crystal, a proposal for the autumn 2016. The collection was inspired by Monsieur Dior’s passion for the charm of soirees, parties and dances. In short, sparkling jewelry to wear for evening outings, even better when combined with proper clothing to the importance of the appointment. They are cheerful, but at the same time show a certain restraint granted by smoke gray color matched to the crystals. In addition, the earrings can be worn individually, in pairs, or in combination asymmetric. The red and black lacquer adds a fresh feel. Sober it’s ok, but do not overdo it. Prices were not disclosed, the jewels are only available in boutiques. Giulia Netrese
The Piovan’s Fantastic animals
The stories of talents often are a family sagas: it’s the case of Paolo Piovan and her daughters, the designers Annalisa and Serena. The master of jewelry of Padua, with a tradition of 40 years, relies on now to the second generation to continue the path marked by the founder. Which has always been attracted by the travel around the world and surprised of the nature. A pleasure that has resulted in the collection dedicated to animals: a zoo valuable that combines gold with a singular interpretation of the fauna. As the tiger, cobra , dragon, starfish, alligator, which come in the form of brooches, bracelets or rings. They look a bit like those grotesque frescoes, paintings on the vaults in the seventeenth century Venetian villas, with a baroque seen through the eyes of the post- Renaissance painters. A result that perhaps can only be reached through a DNA that sums the history of Italian art.
The waves of Annamaria Cammili
Along this years the Vision collection of Annamaria Cammili sought consensus. The design revolves around an idea, that of the waves of the sea. With sinuous lines and soft, rounded, pendants and rings seem washed ashore by a gust of wind. The waves that follow form marine flowers, leaves, shaped by the wind, drops splashing on the shore. Rose gold with small diamonds on the edges, or white, bright in the center as pistils, and shades of colors that arise from combinations of different materials make the collection a marriage between sculpture and design.
The new masterpieces by Fulco di Verdura
New jewels by Fulco di Verdura presented in London.
Fulco di Verdura debuted at Masterpiece London with a collection that pits two works of the thirties of the Sicilian Duke: one was the Byzantine-inspired by Coco Chanel in Paris, and other his distinctly modern designs for the stars of cinema.
The Fulco di Verdura jewelry have been worn by the most famous actresses in Hollywood: Katherine Hepburn, Lana Turner, Lauren Bacall, Gene Tierney. And then from Windsor and the Agnelli family, the Ruspoli and Crespi. The Sicilian nobleman who emigrated to New York had among the customers also Astor, the Wanderbildt, the Rothschilds.

The name of the house was San Esteban y de La Cerda. And so Fulco Santostefano di Murata de La Cerda, who lived in Palermo Palazzo Verdura, after his father’s death he moved to France, to work for Coco Chanel. After the war he opened the famous store on Fifth Avenue.

The Nirav Modi’s amazing diamond
Nirav Modi, diamonds and masterpieces ♦
Nirav Modi is one of the stars of the jewelery world. Christie’s and Sotheby’s often include her jewelry in the most prestigious auctions. And he, with Indian boutiques in Mumbai and Delhi, has opened a shop in New York. An escalation made sign in only five years: its brand, in fact, was born only in 2010. The designer grew up in Antwerp, the diamond capital of the world, the son and grandson of gem traders. Dino from birth was surrounded by precious stones. “The conversations at the table often revolved around diamonds and jewels,” said Modi to Jck. The transformation from expert of stones to jeweler, according to most accepted version, was made with the custom design of a pair of earrings for a friend. “When I saw her joy for my creation, I decided that’s what I wanted to do.” The escalation Nirav Modi is fast and it does not seem to stop. Its projects will lead him soon in Europe: “We intend to open a hundred stores in the US, Asia and Europe by 2025,” he revealed.
Among the jewels of the most successful of the Indian brand is the Embrace bracelet, considered an innovation. It consists of over 700 pieces interlocking so that the bracelet can stretch over your hand to fit comfortably on your wrist, and without using paper clips. The Celestial collection, however, suspends the diamond from the sides, maximizing the light that passes through them. The diamonds seem to float, and the people who see these jewels ask how are made. Finally, the brand has also patented new cuts for diamonds: Mughal and Ainra. A testimony to the fact that India is no longer made up only of tradition. Giulia Netrese
