PdPaola extends the fine jewelry collection

Published on July 13, 2022

One year after its debut in the fine jewelry category, the Spanish brand PdPaola is expanding its collection, which uses 95% of the jewels in the collection of recycled gold. Combined with 18-karat gold, they are lab grown diamonds, that is, created by man through complicated procedures, but from a chemical point of view very similar to those extracted from the earth. With the second release of the PdPaola collection, it introduced rigid bracelets, solid gold chain necklaces and ear piercings, again with diamonds.

The idea of adding a higher level collection to affordable jewels must have been appreciated by buyers, given that the Maison expects to increase its turnover, which in 2021 was almost 30 million euros. The brand expects to close 2022 with a turnover of 52 million and, in addition, announces that it will continue to focus on its international expansion with the opening of new stores and flagship stores. PdPaola jewels are now available in 2,000 points of sale in ten international markets through its wholesale system. Together with the turnover, the number of employees also increased (+ 30%) which exceeded 80 units, 74% of whom are women.

The Indian Song by Lydia Courteille

L'anello dedicato a Madurai Gapuram dedicato a Shiva aperto. Il serpente in zaffiro rosa simboleggia la semi divinità Naga

In 1300 there was Marco Polo. Today, there is Lydia Courteille. With one fundamental difference: the first was a merchant who had gone to the East with the aim of bringing spices and fabrics to Venice. The second, on the other hand, brought sensations, images, emotions of India to Paris, in this case through the memory of a 17th-century traveler, Jean-Baptiste Tavernier. Ingredients used by Lydia Courteille to create sculptures which, among other things, can also be considered jewels.

Anello dedicato al tempio Madurai Gapuram, con smeraldo intagliato

The new stage of the French designer’s world tour was India. After touring Guatemala, China, Turkey and many other places, the new collection is dedicated to Gandhi’s homeland and is called Indian Song. Name that adds a touch of musicality to the symphony of colors that make up the collection. India is, in fact, a fascinating mystery for Westerners and, perhaps, also for those born there. Hindu mythology and religion reserve surprises that are not always immediately understandable, but that involve.

The jewels of the Indian Song collection cover some of the stages of Indian culture. Like the Khajuraho temple, built between AD 950 and 1050, which is located in Madhya Pradesh and is famous for the erotic sculptures that surround it. Because spirituality doesn’t have to be far from the joy of the body. The same sculptures, but made of sandalwood, surround a ring with a large red tourmaline, also inspired by the heart of the Indian temple. In an era permeated by a return of Puritanism, Lydia Courteille’s ring is a cry for freedom, cheers.

Anello ispirato al tempio Khajuraho. Le figure intagliate sono in legno di sandalo, che circondano una tormalina rossa

Another temple, Madurai Gapuram, this time in the state of Tamil Nadu, is dedicated to the god Shiva and the goddess Parvathi: it offered the inspiration for another ring that is reductive to define a jewel. It is, in effect, a small temple, with one side that opens and offers the view of an elaborate interior that features the face of the deity. The whole is made up of cabochon sapphires, rubies and spinels, as well as a carved emerald evoking the splendor of the Mogul era. It should be added that the references to the pantheon of Hinduism are also precise. For example, a red tourmaline snake represents the semi deity Naga, who rules the underworld.

Could the Taj Mahal be missing on the trip to India? Of course not. The monument erected by Shah Jehan, Mughal emperor, in memory of the deceased bride, in the Indian Song collection is transformed into a necklace with sapphires and emeralds. Another monument, the temple dedicated to Shiva Mahabalipuram, a Unesco World Heritage Site located near Chennai, is famous for its bas-relief sculptures that surround it. They represent the descent of the Ganges which is intertwined with the epic of the Mahabharata, which tells the story of the gods.

Anello Peacock realizzato con tanzanite, smeraldi, tormaline

For example, Sarasvati, Brama’s consort traditionally depicted accompanied by a swan and a peacock. The two birds are used by Lydia Courteille to form an elaborate jewel. Furthermore, the peacock is the decorative protagonist of a palace in Jaipur, the Peacock Gate of the City Palace, and the subject of a gold necklace with 11 tanzanites, ten opals, 11 emeralds, 40 apatite pearls, 60 emerald pearls and tanzanite, 39 yellow sapphires, diamonds. An opulence that would be appreciated by a maharaja. A ring, on the other hand, is dedicated to the temple of Karni Mata, where thousands of mice are considered sacred and are fed by devotees.

Surfing with Tara Hirshberg

Anello in oro 14 carati, smalto, topazio

Art and economics, post-war painters and market trends: what does all this have to do with jewelry? This question can be answered by Tara Hirshberg, who studied at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) and then in Mancherster, England, before taking her first steps in an art gallery. Indeed, the most famous, the Gagosian Gallery, with an activity as a sales clerk. Another step forward: in 1998, together with other partners, the designer opened an art gallery, the Sandroni Rey Gallery, which was active for 12 years. And the jewels? We get there.

Tara Hirshberg had two children and in her spare time she started making some pieces for herself. From one thing another is born. A trip to India was the event that triggered the desire to try out a new adventure: Tara Hirshberg Jewelry. She uses recycled gold and diamonds, enamels, California atmospheres and beaches, a yoga mood and the result is collections such as Costellations (14-karat gold, zodiac symbols) or Surf (gold, enamels, sapphires). The geometries of the colors, in fact, are reminiscent of those of certain abstract paintings, probably a legacy of the designer’s first activity.

News for the summer signed by Tiffany & Co. The American company has expanded the catalog of one of its best-known collections, Tiffany City HardWear. The collection was launched in 2017, with the intention of representing the energy and spirit of New York. But also to propose a line of jewels suitable for younger people, in particular for the Millenials, that is, those born between 1981 and the mid-1990s. It is no coincidence that the face accompanying the launch of the new jewels is that of Rosé, the Korean singer of Blackpink, pseudonym of Roseanne Park, 24 years old. But, of course, it is not forbidden to wear Tiffany City HardWear jewelry even if you do not fall within this age group.

In any case, now the collection is enriched with new titanium models, with a new bracelet and necklace in black titanium. It is a very modern design. Each jewel is characterized by a single pink gold link with pavé diamonds. The shape of the two jewels is inspired not only by the design of the previous pieces, but also by a 1971 bracelet unearthed in the archives of the Maison.

Collana Hexagon in oro 18 carati e argento ossidato

From Yemen to New York, with a thread that binds two countries so far away: the jewels. Sharon Chandally, born in the States, founded Chandally in 2009. Her grandfather, brothers and previous generations were silversmiths and now the designer follows the story of her origins. In fact, she moved to Tel Aviv (Israel) where she opened her boutique.

Collana Reflection della collezione Atlas in oro 18 carati e argento ossidato

Before studying industrial design and entering the world of jewelry, Sharon traveled extensively: New Zealand, India, Ghana, Benin and Japan. Travels has awakened the connection with its roots. She learned metalworking for three years in Israel, where her family had moved, and where she learned to draw from the tradition of Yemeni artisans, from ancient myths and from the places of his family of origin. An ancient and fascinating story, with craftsmanship that has a centuries-old history behind it.

Before applying what she learned in jewelry, after graduation, Sharon concentrated her energies on developing a refined understanding of form and ergonomics. Between art and metallurgy, she began to study the construction of musical instruments, but also silverware, mechanisms and metalworking. With these premises, the designer has recovered icons and style of the elaborate Middle Eastern tradition to propose a decidedly original and full of charm style.

That jewels have magical powers has yet to be proven. Certainly, however, they may have the power to cause less damage to the environment. The Tabayer brand, for example, emphasizes that its jewels have been made with environmentally friendly and ethically sourced materials: fair trade gold from mining organizations responsible for crafts and small-scale, which promote social development and protection. environmental and conflict-free Kimberley certified diamonds.
The jewels, in addition to the classic eye against the evil eye, have a modern and supple design, soft, smooth, with small diamonds set in the metal.

Bracciale Raspberry in oro 14 carati, zaffiri, opale

Rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, Raynaud’s syndrome and colitis. It doesn’t seem like a particularly pleasant picture. But the consequences of an old car accident were, paradoxically, the spring that pushed Joie DiGiovanni, born in Philadelphia and with a name that indicates family origins in Italy, to focus on jewelry. In 2013 Joie launched her brand while working in sales for a clothing chain. Objective: to offer quality jewels, but suitable for non-formal, fun, colorful clothing. After three years of running in, the brand took off also thanks to the personal aesthetic chosen for the jewels.

At the center of Joie DiGiovanni’s work are colored necklaces and bracelets made with ruby, emerald and sapphire spheres, high quality hand-picked faceted stones, mounted in 14-karat gold. The gems are joined by an unbreakable thread: a long necklace can be wrapped in several turns without fear of breaking. The idea of using such a wide palette also offers the possibility of infinite variations. Baroque pearls are often added to the stones. Another feature of the designer is the proposal of alternative jewels, for example those with the design of the cannabis leaf, in gold and diamonds.

Another medical aspect, however, concerns Dara, Joie’s younger sister who joined the company as a production assistant. Dara was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome and today the sisters are involved in helping communities that provide ongoing services to children with this disorder.

Orecchini in argento con cubic zirconia gialli

If there is one thing that never fails in June, July and August, at least in the Northern hemisphere of the Earth, it is the sun. Heat, brightness and longer days are the effects of the more active presence of the star around which our planetary system rotates. An effect that is reversed during the following six months, in which the sun instead heats the southern hemisphere of the globe. In short, you cannot forget the sun but, if you want, you can wear it. The line of bijoux by Amen, the Tuscan brand of jewels at affordable prices (in this case from 49.90 to 79.90 euros) offers the Sole (Sun) collection, to be worn in summer, but not only.

The line includes necklaces, bracelets and earrings and is made of 925 silver with a rhodium finish and colored or white zircons. The shape of the jewels is, of course, inspired by the celestial star, with rays that accentuate the round shape of the pendants, reminiscent of the stylization of the sun adopted by the ancient Mayan empire. In this case, however, with greater joy.

Naïf is a French word that is commonly used as a synonym for naïve, straightforward, primitive, while the art naïf art is a current born under the influence of American primitive painters and the works of Rousseau the Customs officer, and is intended as an unrelated expressive form from the academic and cultural world.

The rings are available only in gold, with diamonds or with a single central precious stone.

An earcuff completes the line.

Cheyenne. New York. Paris. Los Angeles. Former Vogue editor. Fashion expert. Rodeo photographer. Book publisher with Greybull Press. And finally, jewelry designers. Lisa Eisner, who lives and works in the city of California, describes herself in these words. Despite many passions, multiple activities and even more numerous projects, the designer launched her first handmade jewelry collection in 2014. And she continued. She loves a certain western atmosphere: the turquoise also are liked by Native Americans, ancient minerals set in bronze or gold. From Wyoming, where she was born, she uses black jade. And even (more rarely), she inserted painted feathers into the jewelry.

Since, with her husband, 30 years ago she moved to Los Angeles, a step away from Hollywood, to inspire her on how to design her jewels was a movie myth: Tony Duquette, costume designer, set designer and also an eclectic jewelry designer . Her pieces are large, original, with a vintage air and a little wild at the same time. Exactly what is expected of her.

Many charms for PdPaola

COLLANE/bracciale

For some time, the small pendants that enrich necklaces and bracelets have been a personal manifesto of one’s character, of the preferences of the moment or, simply, of one’s mood. A large number of jewelry companies, such as the Catalan PdPaola, therefore push the idea of composing their own jewelery following individual aesthetics. You are spoiled for choice. Also for PdPaola the catalog of charms available is really wide and allows you to range between the different types of pendants, which are in sterling silver plated with 18 carat gold. In addition, they also use natural stones such as labradorite, amazonite or mother of pearl, together with white cubic zirconia.

In addition to the material with which they are made, the choice of charms can obviously be oriented to their shape. There are numbers, probably to be used for an important date, or perhaps to remember a phone number. Or you can simply choose pendants with stones set or, again, those with a fun design, such as the astronaut or the dinosaur.

Anello e orecchini della collezione Vendôme indossati

Fope renews the successful Vendôme collection. Here are the news ♦ ︎
Renew success without abandoning success. It seems the philosophy of Fope, Maison of Vicenza, which aims to establish a close relationship with its customers. And this is possible with the proposal of collections that last over time: the jewels are so always current, from the classics. But, natively, this does not mean leaving the offer and collections unchanged. As in the case of Vendôme, a collection which is among Fope’s best sellers and which has been renewed with the addition of rubies, sapphires, baguette or princess cut diamonds.

Vendôme is characterized by the oval gold knit, always soft thanks to the patented Flex’it technology, which allows a surprising elasticity to the texture in pink or white gold. A system that is used not only to make flexible bracelets and colliers, but also rings: a particularly appreciated aspect because it makes the jewels more pleasant to wear. With the new pieces of the collection a new game of colors and brightness has been introduced thanks to a thin ribbon in gold that embraces the surface of the rounded washer. Another novelty are the rings that, in addition to being Flex’it or band, offer a more abstract appeal to the dominant motif for an even more contemporary effect.

Anello in opale andean intagliato, oro rosa e diamanti

The new jewelry collection by Nana Fink, from Switzerland to Los Angeles, via London and Beirut ♦ ︎
From old Europe a stone’s throw from Hollywood, Los Angeles. But the path of Nana Fink is different from the usual one of many other designers for another reason: as a girl, the designer has studied clinical psychology and management in Basel and Zurich. Then, she completed his PhD in the field of maternal health. In short, she started working for science as a researcher at Harvard Medical School. What does this have to do with jewelry? Only Nana Fink has the answer.

But perhaps it is precisely the mix of science, art and culture that has stimulated creativity. The result is, in any case, an international success, given that her jewels are sold in Los Angeles in the Paul Smith flagship store, as well as in Basel, Beirut or Sankt Moritz, in London as well as in Tinos, Greece.
Even the style testifies to a transversal spirit, able to cross different experiences, between modern lines and icons of the classical age. Like the jewelry proposed for the 2018 season, made exclusively by hand, in Switzerland.

La rambla is an avenue consisting of two side carriageways and a large pedestrian area in the center, generally lined with trees. It is a type of road widely used in Catalonia: the most famous ramblas are those of Barcelona, an obligatory destination for tourists who visit the city. And, now, they are also a jewelry line proposed by Alviero Martini 1A Classe, a Milanese brand of accessories and clothing that has recently also landed in the world of fashion jewelry. The brand was also successful thanks to the idea of depicting maps on travel bags. And the brand’s new jewelry lines, made through Thom Trade Italy, refer to various locations around the world.

Rambla jewels are made of silver, with yellow and pink gold application, together with cubic zirconia: a classic for that type of bijoux.

Precious simplicity for Calvin Klein

Rings/bracciale/

Calvin Richard Klein turns 80 in 2022 (best wishes), but his signature remains fresh. The American designer, who launched the company that became simply Calvin Klein in 1968, like other designers in addition to clothing has also given his name to a range of perfumes, watches, and jewelry. It is about fashion jewelry, a genre that counts on several fans, who focus more on the logo of the jewel than on the preciousness of the material, often in simple metal with PVD or gold plating.

For his jewels Calvin Klein prefers simplicity, as in the bracelets or rings of the Minimal Circular line, with rippled surfaces. On the other hand, the design of the Minimal Linear line is more accentuated, which uses a geometry that is a mix between a circular shape and a straight line. The Playful Repetition line, on the other hand, uses the contrast between worked and smooth surfaces. The jewels are in stainless steel in natural color, or pink or yellow, in some cases with the addition of cubic zirconia.

The charm of the fifties with Pin-Up bijoux

Published on June 23, 2022

/bracciale/COLLANE

Unexplored frontiers of bijou. That is: how to invent something new, but which costs little, very little. This is the story of Pin-Up, an Italian bijoux brand founded by Claudia De Rosa, which has a story to tell.

«I was born in Albissola, a seaside village in the province of Savona (Liguria, Italy). After studying Pharmacy, at the age of 24 I left for Ireland to gain work experience and to learn English: I stayed 12 and became the mother of my first two children: Julia, who is now 19. years old, and Joshua, 15 years old. From Ireland I landed in the States and then finally returned to Italy. For four years I have lived in Tuscany, in Terranuova Bracciolini, in the province of Arezzo, but closer to Florence, where I became Giorgia’s mother for the third time eight months ago and I discovered a great passion for racing bicycles, a passion that I share. with my partner. It is during our long bike rides that I have the most creative ideas. After more than 23 years as a medical trainer and marketing and commercial manager, organizing scientific events in Italy and abroad, a little over a year ago I decided to change my life and dedicate myself to designing and creating jewelry ».

The birth of Pin-Up is also associated with the pandemic period, Claudia always says: “During the pregnancy of my third daughter and short-time smart working, a global pandemic situation that has drastically slowed down all activities related to the sector tourism and events, I began to reflect on my professional career, my family life, interests and passions. I felt the need to go back to feeling alive and express my creativity in a free but, forty year old, also aware way. So, almost for fun and boredom, due to the social restrictions imposed by the covid, I started to create brooches, earrings and necklaces, rings, bracelets, using aluminum chains and wires. So last summer 2021 the brand, Pin-Up Gioielli was officially born for the inspiration of the rockabilly-pin up style. A passion for accessories that I have had since I can remember: I worked in very masculine and rigorous fields, often the outfits had to be monochromatic and dark, with few frills and very linear. Over time I have developed my own style which is a consequence of my whimsical, colorful personality and a sober rocker. Before creating my bijoux and accessories myself, I was always looking for jewels that created that extravagant focus and that made the same sober sheath dress appear different every time ».

Anello Clap Clap con calamita e cristalli Swarovski

The choice of the name, Pin-Up and the reference to the rockabilly style suggests the 1950s. Right now that the trend is dominated by rap and hi-pop. «I have never followed fashions and trends, I have always had my own style, classic, but with an extravagant touch and a reference to dandy elegance. I was born in the seventies, watching musicals like Grease, TV series like Happy Days. My dad is a big fan of Elvis and from an early age he gave me a great curiosity and passion for the United States. Rockabilly is a musical genre that developed in the early 1950s. It is a fusion of bluegrass, country, boogie woogie and jazz with a gospel influence, an irresistible combination of rhythm and blues and country. This style reflects me a lot: I have a sweet rock soul, I don’t particularly like symbols like crosses and skulls, I’m a romantic rocker. To crosses I prefer hearts, to skulls the sun and décolleté shoes with very high heels: these are the pendants that I most often use in my creations. I consider the chains a positive symbol of strength, determination and solid union rather than constriction, suffocating bond or worse still deprivation of freedom. For this reason I have chosen to represent the rockabilly style in bijoux ».

Orecchini Clap Clap con cristalli Swarovski

As well as the idea of the pin-ups: “That’s right. The pin ups come directly from the 1950s and in 2022 we are still talking about them. They were sensual and feminine women but at the same time provocative and intriguing. The pin-up style is synonymous with good taste, liveliness and color, with ironic sensuality but also with familiarity (and this explains why a brand like Coca-Cola has used this type of images since the beginning to enter people’s homes) . The pin ups were a symbol of courage and lightness for the soldiers of the Second World War. The pin-up is timeless, always current, always lively, intriguing but sober and elegant: this is my reference of female beauty ».

The collection consists of earrings, rings, necklace and bracelets but, above all, translates the surface of our satellite into jewels. Slightly irregular gold spheres, with lunar craters composed of precious stones: white or brown diamonds, but also blue and pink sapphires, emeralds peek out from the surface of the Moon in a jewel version. In some pieces, in addition to the lunar spheres, the classic shape of the crescent is also used, which perhaps the astronauts have never seen, but those who wear the jewels do.

The jewels of the Danish brand use the most famous characters or, as in this case, are linked to the promotion of the new Pixar film, a brand of the American group. In fact, a film centered on the character of Buzz Lightyear has arrived on the screens, the toy robot who made his debut back in 1995 in Toy Story. They look like jewels made especially for the youngest: the collection also uses enamel that glows in the dark, like the decals often found in children’s bedrooms.

The jewelry, in silver, with hand-painted enamel details, also includes other characters from animated films, such as the fish Dory, the robot Wall · E, the mouse Remy or the monster Sulley. The glow-in-the-dark enamel, on the other hand, is used for the sphere that holds the Gioia charm, a character from the movie Inside Out.
