High jewelery by Bulgari in the Barocko of Rome

Published on July 10, 2020

Collana Chiaroscuro in oro bianco, con 1 rubellite rettangolare (8,65 ct), 1 tormalina verde rettangolare (12,18 ct), 1 ametista rettangolare (9,81 ct), 1 citrino rettangolare (9,25 ct), 1 quarzo giallo verdastro rettangolare (7,60 ct ), 1 acquamarina rettangolare (9,94 ct), 1 tanzanite rettangolare (14,17 ct), 87 diamanti a taglio brillante rotondo e pavé di diamanti (44,72 ct)

High jewelery, Bulgari, Rome. Three words that summarize an entire world. But also a style. The Italian capital, for example, is also famous for its Baroque monuments. It is no coincidence, therefore, that the Roman Maison, which is part of the Lvmh group, chose Barocko as its name for its new collection of high jewelery, consisting of 50 pieces. However, these are not jewels that simply copy the curls of Bernini’s churches.

On the contrary, these are many unique pieces composed with a triumph of precious stones and, above all, with a free interpretation of the source of inspiration, that is, baroque architecture. An example: the Lady Arabesque necklace in 18-carat pink gold, composed of a pear-shaped 3.42 carat purple sapphire, a pear-shaped purplish pink sapphire of 3.55 carats, two cushion-shaped purple sapphires of 3.72 carats, 14 sapphires ovals and pink and purple cushion (28.64 carats), 11 fancy paraiba tourmalines (16.35 carats), 15 round emeralds (3.38 carats), five pear cut diamonds (3.70 carats), 157 fancy diamonds ( 8.71 carat) and a pavé of diamonds (16.94 carat).

Wealth, imagination, inspiration: but in the personal setting of Lucia Silvestri, the creative director of the Maison. As is evident from the example described, these are unique pieces that required a difficult selection of gems and an equally patient craftsmanship. Another aspect that is immediately evident concerns, in fact, the choice of stones, which is not limited to the traditional four, that is, white diamonds, emeralds, blue sapphires and rubies. Both the colors and the cut of the gems follow the Baroque flair of the deviation from the norm. As in the case of the platinum Raggio di Luce ring, with a heptagonal cut diamond (it has seven sides) fancy vivid yellow-orange of 5.02 carats.

Homage to Capri by Chantecler

Published on July 10, 2020

Argento

Capri, Mediterranean island in front of Naples, destination of dreams, loves and jewels. Those of Chantecler, for example. The Maison founded in 1947 and led by the Aprea family is the most celebrated on the island. Famous for its bell-shaped jewels, but also for its high jewelery, Chantecler has wanted over the years to pay homage to Capri with a series of jewels of different types that recall the charm of the island.

Let’s start with high jewelry. Luna Caprese is a little bell in sapphires and diamonds that reproduces the legendary Faraglioni, together with the Chantecler cockerel (symbol of the Maison), which in Edmond Rostand’s short story tells that its singing has the power to drive away the darkness and bring out the light of the new day.

The Et Voilà collection is another type, which with the Capriness is enriched with a set of marine links, in pure silver, reminiscent of the shapes of the sculptures of the fifties, and covered on one side by a deep blue, almost blue and on the other only silver. The blue of the enamel is a shade that recalls the so-called “blue air”, a fusion between the chromatic gradations of the sky and the sea. The set, consisting of necklace, bracelet and earrings, is the symbol of everything that has made the Capri experience magical.

Capriness also for the pendants of the Campanelle collection, which become more ironic, with colored enamel stripes, and the Logo collection, with earrings and pendants for over 35 years symbol of the Capri spirit, welcomes a cockerel with a rainbow. Capri has never been so precious.

Contemplation, Boucheron’s high space jewelry

Published on July 8, 2020

alta gioielleria

Collana Goutte de Ciel, in cristallo di rocca e pavé di diamanti, incastonata con una goccia di cristallo di rocca in aerogel, su oro bianco

Household chores, children, work, commitments … in everyday life there is nothing time for contemplation: a space dedicated to admiring a material or immaterial object or subject. For this reason, the idea of Claire Choisne, number one of Boucheron‘s creativity to dedicate an entire line of high jewelery to contemplation, is unusual: 67 pieces that aspire to an ethereal, absolute world. Almost stellar.

And it is no coincidence that one of the prominent jewels of the Contemplation collection is a special necklace that uses an equally special material: the aerogel. Don’t you know him? Nothing strange: it is the material with the lowest density in the world, 99.8% of air and 0.2% of silica. And it is used by NASA to capture stardust. The result is the Goutte de Ciel necklace, in white gold with rock crystal and diamonds, set with a drop of rock crystal and aerogel.

Collana Fenêtre sur Ciel, oro bianco, lacca, madreperla, tanzanite di 35 carati

The pieces of great aesthetic impact are many. For example a Fenêtre sur Ciel necklace, which represents the sky dotted with clouds made by airbrushing lacquer next to mother of pearl tiles, with a 35 carat tanzanite cabochon. Also in this case, therefore, high jewelery made with the use of modern technology.

But the whole collection is exceptional in its ideas, style and refined construction: a great bridge between traditional high jewelery and a design in harmony with a world that uses technology now for any daily need. So many jewels that, if you can’t buy them, are at least you must absolutly to contemplate.

Wings of light, three Piaget masterpieces sets

Published on July 7, 2020

alta gioielleria

Orologio da polso in oro bianco 18 carati con 151 zaffiri taglio baguette (circa 25,67 ct), 71 diamanti taglio baguette (circa 8,28 ct), 100 diamanti taglio brillante (circa 7,41 ct). Quadrante nero opale. Piaget produce movimento al quarzo 56P

Fairy tales, poems, magic. They all fly with the same means of transport: the wings of fantasy. Which, for Piaget, become the Wings of Light collection. Light, on the other hand, is the necessary complement to enhance the high jewelery of the Swiss Maison, which always manages to surprise with its refined collections. As in fairy tales, the collection of unique pieces is made up of three chapters, which in turn tell a story of high craftsmanship jewels.

Majestic Plumage Set

The most amazing piece is a bird wing shaped necklace. An element that often occurs in jewelry, but in this case reinterpreted with particularly high levels of craftsmanship and chromatic creativity. To recreate tropical colors and feather inlay, Piaget turned to a plumage specialist: the Maître d’Art Nelly Saunier. The result is a setting of the gems that perfectly emulates the plumage of an exotic bird using, in addition to the feathers, a rainbow of sapphires and spinels of different colors. At the center of the majestic necklace is a large 7.49 carat Paraiba tourmaline from Mozambique. The necklace can be worn with or without the inlaid element of feathers, which can be removed and worn as a bracelet, or further divided into two parts to be worn on both ears.

The earrings of the same set are centered, instead, on a red spinel, less known than ruby but equally precious, and so similar to ruby that was simply known as balas ruby until modern times when the science of gemmology developed and discern the difference. These 2.70-carat pear-shaped gemstones from Tanzania, which flank the multi-colored sapphires: they are small masterpieces that required 140 hours of work to make. The cocktail ring from the same set took eight months to find and match the right stones: an indigo blue tourmaline, different from the darker blue-green of the more common tourmaline, is combined with the perfect shade of hot pink red in the spinel pear-shaped.

Collana in oro bianco 18 carati con 1 zaffiro blu a taglio ovale dello Sri Lanka (circa 22,68 ct) e diamanti

Secret Cenote Set

The name of this set is inspired by a spectacular natural swimming pool located in Mexico, the Cenote (translated as “sacred well”). This pearl of nature is transformed into a large 22.68 carat sapphire extracted in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka, which is located in the center of the necklace. It is a stone of exceptional beauty, accompanied by a cascade of diamonds. The craftsmanship needed to produce this effect lasted 230 hours. The set includes a ring that sports an 11.34 carat sapphire with intense blue hue and strong saturation, which comes from Madagascar. The surrounding diamonds are marquise-shaped, specially cut to reflect the leafy vines that grow and climb around the pool of water, the Cenote source of inspiration for the set. And, always with the same elements, sapphires and diamonds, the matching earrings are composed. But that is not all.

There is also a watch that echoes the blue and green of tropical vegetation, the lush colors of nature, but this time with a majestic black opal as a dial and in the surrounding details. The most refined black opal in the world, extracted in Australia, has been appreciated as an ornamental stone by Piaget for over half a century, since they appeared in the iconic clock designs of the sixties. The pattern of baguette-cut stones, diamonds, sapphires and opals is studied with pleasant asymmetry. This too is a reference to the natural environment and, just as naturally, they are pleasant to the eye.

Rainbow Light Set
Light like a palette in the sky: it is the image of the rainbow. Which is reflected with Piaget in the jewels of this set that boasts unique combinations of materials: rubellites and pink tourmalines together with rose gold, chosen to reflect the warmth of the sunset tones and worked with the delicacy of Palace Décor, a hand-engraved finish in gold with ancient techniques and special tools to produce a soft effect engraved on the metal surface. High jewelery in this case uses unusual mixes, such as leather, wood and mother-of-pearl inlays, even straw. In a unique process developed by the master of inlays Rose Saneuil, each small piece of wood or calfskin is carefully cut to perfectly adapt to the outline and shape before being meticulously positioned inside the whole, taking its specific place to create an effect of light rays. Even the mother of pearl is uniquely treated, cut to different lengths and made on a curved support to ensure comfort during use: it is resistant to water and UV rays thanks to a thin layer of paint developed and tested in tropical climatic conditions .

The whole set comes together in three extraordinary jewels: the bracelet took 250 hours of work. The central 22.68 carat rubellite represents the setting sun, its golden inlay rays fade away like the last rays before the evening. The bezel is also set with inlays and every detail has been perfectly designed and executed.
The watch in this set is an equally exquisite creation, the embodiment of Piaget expertise, which combines a long history of watchmaking and jewelry connoisseurs. The technique of inlaying wood, stones, straw, leather and parchment is repeated here, and is combined with a Piaget signature, the off-center hour and minute counter and the tourbillon. Finally, the earrings of the Ecstatic Dance set made with the same to the perfectionism of its paired pieces.

In 2020 Masterpiece London also had to drop the flag: the famous fair dedicated to art antiquities and high jewelery was suspended due to the coronavirus. Instead of the usual fair, the organizers proposed Masterpiece Online (22-28 june), a web platform which, in some way, replaces the visit to the exhibitors. There was no other choice, but it is a shame, because for jewelry enthusiasts the catalog includes amazing pieces. Like those proposed by Cindy Chao: precious sculptures in the form of earrings, bracelets and brooches, unique pieces that are breathtaking even just looking at them on the web.

Piaget high jewelery. So the maximum that can be found. And given that the reputation of the Geneva Maison shines like the sun, 2020 also marks the arrival of new pieces from the Piaget Sunlight collection, presented last year. As is well summarized by the name of the collection, the jewels are inspired by the motif of the sun, one of the strongest symbols of the Maison and is a representation of the sunny side of life philosophy, which celebrates the bright side of life. Thanks to the offer of a series of different models and sizes, it is also possible to wear these creations one above the other, according to your personal style or to adapt the jewelry to the dress.

The new line of Piaget Sunlight creations, as mentioned, are always inspired by the sun’s rays. It is high jewelery and the technical wonders are not lacking, starting with the mobile setting technique.

Chantecler’s high jewelery

Collana Firework in oro bianco, diamanti, rubini, zaffiri rosa

Yes, okay, the bells: Chantecler is famous (also) for the jewels that clink. And also for collections such as Bon Bon, Cherie, Enchanté … Etcetera. But it is unfair to limit oneself to these collections. Because the Maison of Capri also provides an excellent test of high jewelery. Of course, they are jewels for a few and they are unique pieces, very elaborate, difficult to see around. But precisely for this reason they are worth knowing: if you love jewels, here are some of the high jewelery pieces by Chantecler.

The Galli necklace is one of the most iconic creations of the Chantecler fashion house, which reproduces the logo in an extraordinarily original and noble way: that is, the classic rooster, in this case made of pink gold and diamonds. The little birds, to be honest, are many, of decreasing size and animate this masterpiece.

The Firework necklace is inspired by the sparkling and joyful atmosphere of the island, Capri. The necklace is made of white gold, diamonds, pink sapphires and Burmese rubies. A play of lights, depths and heights, thanks to the different nuances of the precious stones selected with skill and accuracy. A real firework.

The game of Malakine

The jewels of Malakine, aka Catherine Malvaux, Belgian designer with the Russian soul ♦ ︎
The Malakine website reports a sentence by Michele della Valle, a great Italian designer-artist based in Geneva: «It started as a game and must remain like a game». But the game of Catherine Malvaux is absolutely serious: on the other hand, everyone knows that you do not mess around when you have fun doing something. And this something are jewels, created to measure or in short and refined collections.

Pendente in oro, granato mandarino, diamanti, smeraldi

Catherine Malvaux is a Belgian designer of Russian origin. From these origins has cultivated the passion and the desire to go further. Where? On the invisible frontier that accompanies those who work in the jewelry: design original pieces, exclusive, but at the same time that adapt to the personality of the wearer. In the story of Malakine, which is a crasis between the name of her grandmother and that of her husband, there are studies of anthropology and philology, but also of drawing and painting (her favorites are Degas and Boldini) at the Accademia des Beaux-Arts before a consulting job in the business world. But the turning point came in front of a retrospective of Fabergé’s work organized in Paris, which prompted her to study gemology (she reveals she has a special fondness for the cabochon cut) and the spend time with the artisans of Antwerp, where since 2007 she makes her jewels.

Celebrated and awarded at the Couture Design Awards 2019, the Essenza collection is probably also the essence of fine jewelry interpreted by Gismondi 1754. The Genoese jewelery company, which after landing on the Aim list of Borsa Italiana is projected on the markets international, presented this collection as a flagship, which over time has increased the number of petals, to remain in this metaphor. Necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings have been enriched with colored stones, which liven up jewels that do not go unnoticed.

Alta gioielleria Gismondi 1754, collana e orecchini della collezione Essenza, in oro bianco, diamanti e zaffiri

The collection is based, according to Gismondi 1754, “on the breakdown of the conventional composition of a classic jewel into its various components”, ie stones such as pink and blue sapphires, white and fancy diamonds, white or pink gold. The jewel was then reassembled, reduced to just the essential elements, following the creative style of Massimo Gismondi, to give life to original shapes, but without losing its classic soul. In short, jewels for a great evening or great occasions.

Rings/alta gioielleria/Showroom/COLLANE

Presented together with Cartier’s Magnitude collection, the Mauna set remains a unique case in the high jewelery scene. These pieces of high jewelery, in fact, revolve around a special gem: the imperial topaz. It is a stone known by few, with a high reflective property, which has a particular history. It is called imperial, in fact, because its name is linked to Russia and, more precisely, to the time of the tsars. In the nineteenth century, in fact, this type of topaz was mined in the mines of the Ural mountains. And only the tsar’s family was allowed to wear this gems. Recently this stone has been re-evaluated and has become part of high jewelery collections, such as that of Cartier.

The French Maison has used two-tone imperial topaz (but in this case they come from Brazil), together with sapphires, diamonds and rutilated quartz, mounted on white gold. If the imperial topaz is reminiscent of the tsars, the style of these jewels is instead linked to the art deco period, with geometric virtuosity and an aspect that would have been liked by Jeanne Toussaint, the historical designer and artistic director of Cartier between 1933 and 1970.

High jewelery is at home at Tefaf in Maastricht. And also this year Van Cleef & Arpels participates in the art and antiques fair (7-15 March). Tefaf is also an opportunity for the French Maison to show some historical pieces, as well as contemporary collections. After the exhibition held at the Palazzo Reale, in Milan, it is another opportunity to admire the stylistic richness of Van Cleef & Arpels and the excellence of its high jewelery.

For example, Tefaf exhibits pieces from the historic Héritage collection, which brings together historic creations of high jewelery, fine jewelry and objects made by Van Cleef & Arpels between the 1920s and the 1990s. Each specimen has been the subject of careful archival research in order to reconstruct its history and certify its authenticity. And not just jewelry in the traditional sense of the term, as evidenced by an evening handbag from 1964.

Or, among the historical pieces, the clip Noeud, an interweaving of ribbons interpreted, in particular, during the so-called white period of the Art Deco, with creations in platinum and diamonds. Dated around 1925, this clip testifies to a type of cockade bow that, in the context of the production of Van Cleef & Arpels of the time, alongside the horizontal ribbons (called simple) or others more geometric. The clip has been designed to be worn vertically and is studded with 261 round cut diamonds and 28 baguette cut diamonds that punctuate the composition.

Among the high jewelry collections of Yeprem, Reign Supreme occupies a particular place. It is, in fact, one of those that has achieved the greatest success, so much so that the Lebanese Maison always offers new unique pieces. But describing the Reign Supreme collection simply as jewels made up of diamonds and precious stones is an understatement. In fact, Yeprem is a jewelry company also famous for its original composition: design is certainly a characteristic feature of the Maison and the Reign Supreme collection is no exception.

In this type of jewelry even the simplest ring is not simple. Diamonds of different cuts, marquise, pear, round, are assembled in a dreamlike design, which often occupies a large part of the skin: elaborate earrings that cover the lobes, double or triple rings, jewels that extend all over the hand. Diamonds, interspersed with emeralds and sapphires, are also the protagonists in the Reign Supreme collection. In fact, they are the true rulers of high jewelery, as Yeprem knows well.

Few masterpieces in the world have as mysterious a charm as the Amber Room, which inspired Lydia Courteille’s new high jewelery collection. One of the most creative and delightfully refined designers in the world of jewelry has designed and created a series of jewels that use, of course, amber together with diamonds, fire opals, citrines, yellow sapphires, garnets and chalcedony mounted on baroque architecture made in gold and titanium. Just like the original Amber Room.

Anello in oro, titanio, diamanti, ambra, granati, opale di fuoco, zaffiri

The history of this incredible environment dates back to the Prussian king Frederick William I, who gave it to Tsar Peter the Great in 1716. The room had the walls completely covered with a mosaic of amber and gilded stucco. For almost two centuries this room was located in the Catherine Palace in Tsarskoye Selo, near Saint Petersburg. It had an area of 55 square meters and contained more than 6 tons of amber. During the Second World War the room was dismantled by German troops. And it has disappeared. Nobody has ever found amber furnishings and walls: it is thought they could be burned in 1945 during the fire of the Königsberg castle.

A reconstruction of the Amber Room was inaugurated in 2003 and was visited by Lydia Courteille, who was fascinated by it. And he decided to renew the charm of that lost room. Angels or animals in pure Baroque style peep out in the jewelry. And there is also a tribute to Empress Catherine, the one who lived more the extravagant and luxurious amber room.

David Morris’ high jewelery in the Electric Geometric Collection

Published on January 31, 2020

bracciale/alta gioielleria/Showroom

High jewelery capable of shock up that of David Morris. During the haute couture week, the British jeweler showed some pieces from his Electric Geometric Collection in Paris. Electrifying jewels, in fact, given that the shapes and composition of these unique pieces are to be considered at the top.

Bracciale Hexagon con diamanti bianchi e rosa

For example, the Sunrise bracelet: an abstract and modern interpretation of the sun’s rays emerging on the horizon and making their way through the clouds. The bracelet is made up of over 2,000 white diamonds, set with a technique that uses 3D modeling and prototyping. In short, goldsmith’s art alongside technology: tiny hinges, each made by hand, allow the bracelet to open and lie completely flat. It is undoubtedly an exceptional piece. The Hexagon bracelet takes its name from the hexagons that make up the texture of the jewel, inspired by bee hives and snowflakes, but also by cells. It took almost two years to complete, with many of the white and pink diamonds cut to size for symmetry, with the aim of adapting to the cells of the design. Each of the latter is a separate piece which, according to David Morris, represents a technical turning point for the workshop of the atelier in the creation of flexible spring bracelets.

Bracciale Sunrise in oro rosa, diamanti bianchi

Among the pieces of the collection, the Phoenix earrings also stand out, with almost 25 carats of Paraíba tourmaline and white diamonds, but also the Chrysalis necklace and earrings set, which represents the moment when a butterfly is transformed. The necklace is composed of pink and white pear cut diamonds, the largest of which is over 7 carats.

Nikos Koulis triumphed in New York. In fact, in January, the Gem Awards, an event organized by Jewelers of America, which are considered the Oscars of jewelry, were held for the eighteenth time. And in the large and luxurious environment of Cipriani 42nd Street, the Gem Award for Jewelry Design, the last of the three awards foreseen at the event, was awarded to the Greek designer, who beat Ana Khouri and Carlo Traglio of the Italian brand Vhernier.

Nikos Koulis is undoubtedly one of the jewelry talents that have emerged in recent years. In addition, it is very well known in the USA, also thanks to the distribution with two big names like Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. Alongside the most acclaimed collections, such as the famous Oui, Koulis also designs and manufactures unique pieces of high jewelery, without forgetting their own style, but with the addition of particularly precious stones, as in the case of the Toi & Moi ring composed of a large oval pink sapphire and a cushion cut emerald, a trilliant cut diamond and baguette diamonds set on white gold and black enamel.

The Tweed de Chanel high jewelery collection

Chanel, bracciale in oro bianco, diamanti, onice

Do not associate tweed with Old England atmospheres or hunting trips worthy of Downton Abbey: this fabric is golden for Chanel. But not only because tweed is a timeless material for clothing: in fact, the Maison’s new high jewelery collection is inspired by this fabric.

Indeed, it seems that the founder Gabrielle Chanel loved tweed, also thanks to her love affair with the Duke of Westminster in the 1920s. This crossed fabric of Scottish origin, in fact, has also been adapted by the French designer to the women’s wardrobe, later imitated by Karl Lagerfeld. And, now, conceptually to jewelry.

In Paris, in fact, Chanel presented the Tweed collection, created by Patrice Leguereau, creative director of Chanel jewelry. Tweed de Chanel also makes use of the ideal contribution from Lesage, a company purchased in 2002 and specialized in weaving technique. The fabrics of the new collection were inspired by those fabrics, embroidery and textures, 45 pieces that recreate the tweed effect with gold and precious stones. Among these there are also three bracelets-watches made with yellow gold, diamonds, onyx and pearls. One of the most important pieces is the Tweed d’Or necklace (price: around 600,000 euros), with intertwined stones set in platinum, white gold and yellow gold threads. In the center is a 20.4-carat orange imperial topaz oval.

The Dior palette is filled with colors with its new high jewelery collection which is simply called Gem Dior. It is a particularly important collection, as always sprung from the mind of the creative director of Dior jewelry, Victoire de Castellane, because it celebrates the French Maison’s 20 years of haute joaillerie.

Anello Toi & Moi in oro rosa con opale, diamanti, zaffiro rosa

As the name indicates, the collection is based on the choice of large gems, which make up unique pieces of sure impact: bright tourmalines, contour diamonds, bright opals, deep emeralds, multicolored sapphires, next to a few touches of lacquer. But not only. Two other aspects emerge. The first concerns a style that owes a lot to art deco, with immediately recognizable geometries. The second aspect is, instead, the reference to the Belle Epoque with the choice of Toi & Moi rings, with two poles that use reverse-type stones. In all there are 39 pieces, including bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces, all of exceptional richness, as is the Dior tradition, presented in Paris during the haute couture week.

Etho Maria, high jewelery with a Greek accent

Etho Maria, Greek expression that sounds like “come here Maria” is an international jewelry brand originating from Athens, Greece, where it still has a headquarters. But today it also has branches in Milan and Florida. Etho Maria, a brand born in 1992 as Lithos, shuns so much to make its history known, and to give a face to its business, which has practically eliminated even the website, which is limited to a page with the address.

And yet, despite this low communication profile, which does not break even when you go personally to ask for information, for example in Baselworld, Etho Maria has managed to make itself appreciated internationally. His gold, red ceramic and diamond jewels, for example, surprised high jewelry enthusiasts a couple of years ago.

Duodeci, high jewelery online

Published on December 5, 2019

news/alta gioielleria

High custom jewelery through an online platform: it is the idea of the French brand Duodeci ♦ ︎
Buy a jewel that is not there. Indeed, a piece of high jewelery. It is the new frontier established by Duodeci, a new Maison of French jewelery. Duodeci proposes to buy jewelry for which there is only one sketch. Bracelets, brooches and rings can be ordered and displayed online on the company’s website. Jewelery is created ad hoc, up to 12 copies (number explaining the name of the Maison), with court certification on the number of pieces made.

But the customer may request variants, for example the use of a particular stone. Made to order also includes the knowledge of the author of the project, which will be fully realized in France, also in this case with certification by Joaillerie de France or French Heritage. Designers engaged with Duodeci.fr have already worked with the great French jewelery brands, but also come from the arts world. Their faces appear on the online platform site, where they also you can find the terms for the contacts and, obviously, ask for the prices. Federico Graglia

The Jardin Mystérieux high jewelry collection of Mikimoto, pearls, rhodium-plated gold and precious stones ♦ ︎

In Tokyo they tell that the founder, Kokichi Mikimoto, dedicated his life to pearls. But he also created the great jewelry house that has its name. Since 1893 Mikimoto has been synonymous with cultured pearls. It was the first company to develop the cultured pearl industry (previously only natural pearls were available, very rare: less than one in a thousand oysters can produce one).

But Mikimoto has long been no longer just a pearl manufacturer and a single-product jeweler. Its high jewelry has no barriers and also uses gold and precious gems as well as, of course, pearls. But another aspect for which the Japanese are famous is the gardens. So here is the Jardin Mystérieux collection, just presented by Mikimoto. The Japanese compositional grace, however, in this case fades into the rounded and baroque shapes that recall more Versailles than a Zen garden.

The Jardin Mystérieux fine jewelry collection includes a rich pearl necklace, anell, two brooches and earrings. In addition to rhodium-plated white gold, he uses precious and semi-precious stones, such as ruby, sapphire, amethyst, aquamarine, garnet, diamond. It is high jewelery: the price is also mysterious (on request). Lavinia Andorno
