Giovanni Ferraris illuminates with the color three new collections presented at Baselworld ♦ ︎
Among the pleasant novelties of Baselworld 2018 there are also those of one of the best Italian jewelry houses, Giovanni Ferraris. Emblem of ability and taste that has its cradle in Valenza, Giovanni Ferraris is among those creators of beauty able to combine the proportions of jewelry with color. And also for the occasion the designer Katia Ferraris has given proof of the creative ability together with the skill of the Maison’s artisans. That to create the presented jewels have been put under pressure: the collections, they explain in the company, have been completed just in time for the inauguration of Baselworld.
In harmony with spring, jewels are inspired, for example, by the shadows and lights of a garden. They are Contrasti (contrasts), a word that gives the name to a collection, which have the advantage of making the nuance of the new season pleasant. Contrasts play on the antagonism of light and dark: in the rings the wide pavé with black diamonds or with the dark blue sapphires made with rivière of yellow diamonds. The same stylistic factor is then taken up in the earrings with a geometric shape.
But it’s not the only surprise of the Maison. Another proof of the goldsmith virtuosity of Giovanni Ferraris is the Armonie collection: it includes rings with a rounded shape, followed by trails in gold and diamonds, on which are set with studied irregularities sapphires, rubies, emeralds in various cuts. Like dew drops, they say to the Maison.
And another novelty is dedicated to nature: the Bella collection. In name and in fact. It is composed of the classic palette of precious stones: sapphires, rubies and emeralds and, therefore, blue, red and green. The colored stones are used with a variety of cuts, drops that form long spikes or small ovals scattered like wildflowers, alternating with diamonds on a drop-shaped setting in burnished gold.
Spring and dreams
Other colors, other suggestions: in the Fragranze collection there are rings with smaller dimensions (“as if they were many spring buds”), entirely covered with fancy rose cut diamonds with different shades: black, blue, yellow, brown, white. The design is more classic: round shapes with cabochon or more contemporary and squared. There is also a version called “more flirtatious”, with a gold monogram applied on the pavé.
The spring of Giovanni Ferraris, however, is not limited to bloom: fly. At least ideally. The lightness that allows a butterfly to soar in the air is also offered by the creation of unique pieces in titanium. The metal, light and resistant, but also difficult to work, gives its name to the Titanium collection. Titanium, among its qualities, also has that of lending itself to new colors, which in this case are coordinated with pavé stones, colored diamonds and sapphires.
Finally, the fading of the day of a middle season inspired the Velvet collection. It is composed of rings with a soft gold mesh on which rest sapphires, rubies and emeralds and a rigid loop with diamonds. The collection is completed by necklaces with a soft and long tassel.
