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. In Campania region the colors are, perhaps, even more determined than elsewhere: Marisa Angelucci, creative mind of the Italian brand, does not hide it. She started with an antique store and then went just to handcrafted jewelry.

Collana con cammei, collezione Costiera
Necklace with cameos, Costiera collection

It debuted in Milan at Macef, the first trade fair. It was successful, until get now to Las Vegas, to Jck Show: sign that jewels of Neapolitan company are appreciated even beyond the border. One of the characteristic signs is the use of an ancient material, but little used in jewelery: the horn, also of zebù. It is natural, they say in the company, and has an ancient tradition.

La collana Bambolata nata dieci anni fa per un progetto speciale realizzato con la nostra musa Erminia Manfredi per Vogue, un gioiello iconico, decisamente un opera d’arte. Negli anni ha conquistato copertine, musei e alcune delle donne più importanti al mondo. Un gioiello realizzato totalmente a mano, con stampi borbonici dell’800 ancora rifilati a mano, montati su corno e perle
The Bambolata necklace born ten years ago for a special project created for Vogue, made entirely by hand, with Bourbon molds from the 1800s still trimmed by hand, mounted on horn and pearls

It is used in an unusual mix: semi-precious stones, precious and semi precious, pearl, coral, pearls, silver, onyx, starfish. 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.

Zag bijoux between two hemispheres

Roots in China, Parisian style, business in Australia: Michelle Zhang, together with her brother Hervé, launched the bijoux brand Zag in 2009. Raised in the heart of Paris, the designer offers a mix of all the places and cultures that cross the life of the family with bijoux made in surgical stainless steel (316 L) and plated with gold to make them hypoallergenic, nickel-free and resistant to oxidation. Gold plating is obtained by ionization, with a technique which consists in fixing the precious metal by spraying it on a jewel placed under vacuum. The steel is cut and laser engraved with a technique that allows you to make all kinds of shapes and engravings on rings, bracelets, pendants and earrings.

Brosway for Barbie-mania

One of the two films that have attracted the most attention in the summer of 2023 is Barbie.

A skull for Philipp Plein

A skull brings good luck. In history there have been many populations that used a skull to drive away evil spirits or put enemies to flight. Then, this skeletal symbol also became a punk sign. Finally, the skull landed in the jewelry store. Now the shape of the skull is revived in Philipp Plein’s $kull 3D jewelry collection. It is a complete set made up of necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings, defined as bling bling due to its unignorable visual impact.

Orecchino teschio indossato
Worn skull earring

The necklace, a 40-centimetre choker, alternates Philipp Plein-style charms on the thin steel chain with branded closure: crystals, the engraved hexagonal PP logo and, of course, the skulls. For the hexagonal logos and skulls, the steel finish chosen is the IP yellow gold tone (270 euros). The chain bracelet is also in steel with pendants and a golden finish (220 euros).
The band ring is in steel with a yellow gold IP finish. The central band plays with the fretwork of the hexagonal logo, created with the lightness of a modern chisel, and is embraced by two double rows of crystals that create a luminous and refined pavé (240 euros). There is also the bracelet with smooth black leather strap with Philipp Plein signature inside, on which hexagonal studs in steel with yellow gold IP finish and crystals are applied. In the center appears the charm to which the $kull 3D collection is dedicated: the skull (240 euros). And three-dimensional skulls are also the element of the lobe earrings, with crystals (140 euros).

The idea is to offer bijoux with a volume that is immediately visible to the wearer.

Colors and steel with Madera and Vibes by S’Agapò

Colored bracelets and necklaces also for men. It is no longer a taboo, especially for young people. And this is what S’Agapò, the light brand of the Bros Manifatture group, offers. There are two lines of bracelets, which in reality can very well also be worn by women. One is dedicated to Madeira, an archipelago of islands of volcanic origin located in the Atlantic Ocean, 545 kilometers north-west of the African coast and which belongs to Portugal. Perhaps the inspiration of the tropical environment suggested steel bracelets and necklaces with brightly colored glass beads: red, yellow, electric blue.

The second line of jewelery was called Vibes, a name that evokes feelings and sensations linked not only to sentimental affairs, but includes bracelets and necklaces with a greater prevalence of steel elements alongside colored beads and marine-inspired pendants, such as anchors and five-pointed star.

Design and jewels with Ellesanti

Design, technology, innovation. They are three elements in one in the design of Laura Santi, who founded the Ellesanti brand in Padua. Where Elle stands for the initial of Laura, but also for the feminine personal pronoun she, in French. Laura Santi, like other designers, also began her professional life in another world. She graduated in Occupational Psychology and worked as a consultant in human resources and business organization for various companies and public bodies. Since 2005 she has branched out into the fields of design, graphic design, product packaging and marketing and has created home accessories, but also jewellery.

The Ellesanti brand arrived a couple of years ago. The brand focuses entirely on simplicity, geometry, precision.

The latest collection is inspired by Light and Lightness, and was presented at the Milan Design Week at Bottega Brera, in the main courtyard of the Pinacoteca, together with an installation with a dress made of very fine organza fabric, suspended in the center of the exhibition space.

Leda Madera, Giulia Tordini’s fashion brass




Giulia Tordini, founder and creative director of the Milanese brand Leda Madera, launches a collection of gold-plated brass jewelry. They are jewels with a consistent volume, with soft lines, which can suggest a vaguely retro style. They are for sale on several online stores. Leda Madera is a Milanese brand that owes a lot to the fashion world, but focuses on the accessories side. In fact, she is part of a family specializing in the fashion sector: her father, Piero Tordini, designed shoes and now manages the Marcona 3 showroom in Milan. Her older sister, Giorgia, is co-founder of the cool-girl label The Attico. In short, it was almost inevitable that Giulia was also involved in fashion and accessories.

Originally from Marche, Milanese by adoption, Giulia Tordini attended the three-year course at the European Institute of Design. The collection includes updates to the first Realease 1 collection and the new Release 2 line. They seem to be inspired by the protagonists of the movie Thelma & Louise. But, to tell the truth, they seem more linked to the Art Deco style, which has a few decades more than the two cinematic daredevils. By the way, Leda Madera takes its name from her grandmother, to whom Giulia Tordini is very fond.

Valentina Laganà, colors and geometries




The modern bijoux by Valentina Laganà, the colors of Sicily in modern design ♦
Silver, copper and bronze. It seems to list the metals used at dawn of human history. But they are also elements used by Valentina Laganà, jewelery designer, who prefers to be considered an artist of objects to wear.

Orecchini Wilma con tre piastre di rame
Orecchini Wilma con tre piastre di rame

Born and raised in Palermo, she moved to Florence to study goldsmiths. Since 2004 she has moved to Turin, where she works today. Behind her there is a 25 year career: unique items to wear, that she designs and realizes herself. In short, a craftsman looking for his own way. Like many creators who have moved to some point in their lives elsewhere, Valentina Lagana has not forgotten her origins and relives a bit of Sicily in her jewelery: majolica, flowers, fish, birds, sea colors and the figs of India find an application in its collections.

But the tune with traditional Sicily is limited to the name of a collection, Taormina. Valentina Laganà’s jewelery collections are, in fact, the farther away from the folklore you can imagine. They are modern, geometric jewels, and if you do not know the origin and the spirit of the author, you would say they are very Nordic. The collections are divided into six thematic lines, enamelled copper, multiple stranded wires, hammered silver, oxidized copper and elastic fabric. Prices: on average Valentina Laganà’s jewelery is between 80 and 140 euros.
