Maria Nielli, born in 1883 in Turin, Italy, has become one of the biggest names in French fashion with the name of Nina Ricci. The name comes from his childhood nickname, Nina, and the surname of her husband, Luigi Ricci, a descendant of a Florentine jeweler. It is therefore not surprising that, in addition to clothing lines and perfumes, the French brand also propose jewelery collections. To achieve them, however, it is not directly Nina Ricci, but a French history as old, the GL Group, a leading provider of jewelers and watchmakers. First major French manufacturer, has received the label of Living Heritage Company and Joaillerie de France. It is they who create jewelry collections as Insoumise (meaning not submissive, rebellious), mostly amde with metal rhodium yellow gold or silver. The collection is certainly not high jewelry, but still they retain a own personality and, above all, a style that is inspired by the brand’s parent company. Margherita Donato
