The simple Sensazioni collection by Morellato: knitted steel bracelets and pendants for 50 euros ♦ ︎
What feelings do you try to wear a jewel? And how long do they last? And what differences do they cause? The Sensazioni collection by Morellato offers no answer, but is proposed as an object that can cause some small emotion. Feelings with low cost, of course, as it is in the philosophy of the brand, which focuses entirely on the “bridge” jewelery, that is, capable of standing halfway between expensive and precious pieces and excessively popular pieces. The knit bracelets of the Sensazioni collection are made of steel and crystals, with a price that certainly induces (this is certain) positive feelings: the cost is around 50 euros, between metal band (36 euros) and pendant to add (14 euros). These elements have the forms of icons such as the hand of Fatima, the eye, the horn, the sign of the infinite. You can call them, if you want, sensations. Giulia Netrese
Gismondi 1754, a long history between concentric circles and a stage with Jane Fonda ♦ ︎
It’s September 19, 2017: Jane Fonda at the Emmy Awards wears an impressive set of diamonds and emeralds. The signature is that of a jeweler from Genoa, Gismondi 1754. Who almost ran the risk of losing this global stage: the Rugiada jewelery set, designed by the owner and designer of the Ligurian Maison, Massimo Gismondi, the day before the ceremony, was still in Italy. After the final approval in Portofino, the necklace and the matching earrings were sent to the historic boutique in Genoa for the last control and the insurance procedure, before taking them to the United States, where the Hollywood star finally wore it. To make these jewels it took 600 hours of work of ten artisans.
The history of Ligurian jewelery starts from afar. It began with Gio Batta Gismondi, in 1754, a goldsmith in Genoa. From father to son, the goldsmith’s shop continued its activity, initially with a specialization in silverware and religious jewelery. Until 1995, when Massimo Gismondi joined the company together with his uncle. In 2011, however, decided to separate, while remaining on good terms, to focus on luxury jewelry. And this is how Gismondi 1754 has become a luxury jewelery brand with boutiques in Portofino, St. Moritz and London. Graduated in gemology in 1994, Gismondi specialized in jewelry with diamonds, pearls and colored stones. But he also prefers the pure design of the jewel, as evidenced by one of his latest collections, Aura, played on the geometry of concentric circles in gold, enamel and diamonds. Giulia Netrese
The jewels of Alexia Jordan, multi-ethnic and multilingual, sold in London and made in Italy ♦
Alexia Jordan was born to Russian parents, grew up in London, the Russian-Lebanese origin, but with blood Parisian from her mother’s, and newyorker by her father. For holidays, however, goes to St. Barts in the Caribbean. This girl, who is the embodiment of a squeeze of passports, is also a jewelry designer based in London. He launched his first collection in 2015 (http://www.alexiajordanjewellery.com). The idea is to combine minimalism, simple and geometric, with the forms of popular culture. Not surprisingly her debut in the jewelry is with a collection called Symbols, which uses icons as the eye anti misfortune, the triangle, the claws of the lobster, which are the forms chosen for bracelets, rings and earrings. Alexia designs jewelery with colored pencils and then makes them realize in Italy. It’s true jewelry, with 18K gold and diamond, white, or gray or brown. She also designed very minimal necklaces.

Rockyourmind, not just a suggestion, but also a new jewelry brand ♦ ︎
The big jewelry houses are looking for the key to open the door that leads to the world of millennials. That is the younger ones, who seem less impressed by the paludate tradition of historical brands. That’s why new brands are born, which not only appeal to a younger audience, but are also created by new players. This is the case of Giulia and Federica Faggi, two Tuscan sisters who founded Rockyourmind about a year ago. The name of the jewelery brand is already an idea that suggests what kind of earrings, necklaces and bracelets are offered. First of all, a lot of design. Essential lines, without frills with direct geometries: squares, circles, triangles, rhombuses. The dimensions of the individual pieces can also be tending to maxi. The rhodium silver is in different colors (gold, silver, pink): it’s the base metal, but worked with a handmade scratch that personalizes the object. The jewels are already distributed in some jewelers store but, coherently with the mission of Rockyourmind, they are also on sale on the website of the small Maison. Even the prices are homogeneous to the audience to which the brand is addressed: ranging from 48 euros for the less expensive ring, up to 275 for the Big triangle pendent with a 90 cm chain and 315 euros for the Linear triangle bracelet.

According to Recarlo, the designers who conceived the collection followed the curves of the female body. Maybe. Although it is difficult who receive a bracelet or ring as a gift to compare the curvature angles with their own. Rather, it will look at the pavé accurately embedded with the use of the microscope. Diamonds are selected so as to obtain uniform surfaces in terms of color and brightness. The bracelets have a hidden spring that facilitates the action of wearing them. It should also be added that next to the bracelets the collection also includes earrings and pendants, always with the same characteristics.

The Hook Collection, in fact, hides attention with a simple but well-defined design. It consists of gold bracelets on which white, gray or black diamonds are embedded. But, alternatively, even sapphires or rubies. The metal lines doubled or intersected in different combinations: at all the junction point is stopped by a gold mark of the same color or of different shade, by contrast. The bracelets are in fact declined in the three classic gold colorings: pink, yellow or white.
