Praise to the nature of Mikimoto

Collana Praise to Nature: oro bianco 18K, perla coltivata in mare, perla Akoya, acquamarina, berillo, zaffiro, diamanti

Nature and sea, here is the high jewelery of Mikimoto ♦ ︎
Praise to Nature: this is the name of the new jewelery necklace of Mikimoto. Great name of Japanese jewelery, Mikimoto has a long history and a long tradition. It was founded in 1893 by Kokichi Mikimoto, who successfully created the method of cultivation pearls. In addition to the pearl manufacturing technique, Mikimoto is also famous for its jewelery creations. And a particular sensitivity is testified with the high jewelery. Nature, on the other hand, is one of the themes that always inspired Japanese culture: the Praise to Nature necklace adds to the other unique pieces an idea of the sea. It consists of an extraordinary set of pearls, sapphires, diamonds and an incredibly rare 54-carat aquamarine. The stones and pearls are mounted on 18-karat white gold. But it’s not the only great piece of jewelery dedicated to the sea, as the ocean-inspired pendant shows, with precious stones partially hidden in an imaginative frame of corals embellished with diamonds, opals and pearls.

The four High Jewelery collections by David Yurman, with a necklace made up of 7,000 spinels ♦ ︎
If David Yurman is a magnificent name in the jewelery world, it will also be that of Evan Yurman. The son of the founder of the American Maison debuted with the high jewelery in July, during the Haute Couture in Paris. The pieces presented for the fall-winter season 2017-2018 are distributed in four collections: Dubbed Stax, Petals, Pearls and Gems. Different solutions, different ideas and the same precious wealth of elements are the characteristic of collections. Already the name indicates the different paths from the collections. Petals, for example, was inspired by David Yurman’s nocturnal designs, awakened by the croak of frogs in his Putnam home, north of New York. Pearl, on the other hand, is obviously dedicated to the round and dark-eyed daughters of the South Seas and Tahiti. Gems, as it is easy to imagine, privileges the stones. To note a necklace that is the fruit of 186 hours of work, made in 16 threads of 7,000 red beads cut to beads, plus 412 diamonds. Margherita Donato

In Porto Cervo (Sardinia) de Grisogono presented three pieces of high jewelry ♦ ︎
The celebrations for the 65-year-old Fawaz Gruosi, founder of de Grisogono, have been notable. Smart set, music and celebrity like Gloria Gaynor. But it was also the occasion to present new jewels. These are unique pieces of high jewelery, in the style of the Maison of Geneva. Starting from a sumptuous bracelet, consisting of 272 emeralds and 764 sapphires, on black rhodium plated gold of about 113.55 carats.

The Conquête collection of High Jewelery signed by Louis Vuitton ♦ ︎
Who knows how to withstand a conquest? No one if conquest is Louis Vuitton’s Conquête collection. The collection was presented during the Haute Couture Week in Paris. It is High Jewelery, all over 60 pieces, including three exceptional necklaces. These are the most prominent pieces, such as the gray pearls necklace with a 54.3 carat tourmaline, and diamonds, or 16.82 carats mandarin garnet, but also bracelets, earrings and rings are made with the same materials and, of course, with the same care.
To mark the Maison origin, the collection plays with the shape of two Louis Vuitton icons, the stylized flower monogram and the letter V, which are used for the first time in the same collection. In short, elements of jewels are built around the elaboration of these two glyphs, which distinguish the brand. But there is no need to think of jewels that focus on brand exaltion: to be in the foreground, in fact, it is above all the consistency of the collection, played all over the three colors of the tourmaline (green), garnet (orange) and diamonds (white) . Luxury, but classy. Lavinia Andorno

Orecchini Snowfall con zaffiri e diamanti

Snowfall, the Graff’s High Jewelry Collection for the Winter 2017-2018 ♦ ︎
It is the destiny of those who always work with a season or two in advance: while everyone enjoys the sun on the beach, they imagine snow and fur. And vice versa: When out of the cold wind blows, fashion and jewelery designers are forced to dream light clothes and refreshing drinks. There are no exceptions to the great jewels of the high jewelery. Like Graff, synonymous with exceptional diamonds and stones, as well as watches made with the most striking goldsmith techniques. During July’s Couture Week in Paris, the jeweler presented a series of pieces of High Jewelry. And soon after, in the middle of the summer heat, she showed the first images of the high jewelery collection designed for the winter 2017-2018. For example, Snowfall earrings, which are really a snowflake cascade, naturally made of diamonds and sapphires (they also have the value that they do not melt). Or for the sapphire necklace in the unusual emerald cut, of course with the diamonds. The collection of diamonds and sapphires remembers, in fact, the reflections of the snow, which is summoned through a mix of not only first-rate stones but also arranged with different cuts to form regular geometries, but playing on a pinch of irregularities. Just like snow crystals. Just a chilling collection. Lavinia Andorno

Bulgari launch Italian Festa: high jewelery and popular icons for a refined collection ♦ ︎
Bulgari celebrated in Venice the Italian festa collection of high jewelery. With a party, obviously. The pieces were presented to celebrities of the moment, such as Lily Aldridge, Alicia Vikander, Bella Hadid, Shu Qi and Lottie Moss, inspire Italian tradition. But, in particular, its most popular appearance: a strange contrast to the sophisticated and precious jewelery realization.
There are, for example, a lollipop, a gelato with a stick, a necklace with chillies, and even a necklace with the insignia of the contradas participating in the Palio of Siena. Symbols, in fact, but of festive occasions or occasions known by everyone. Obviously, jewels are not for everyone and, in spite of their shapes that open the eye to popular culture, are refined. They were made in Rome, in the Bulgari labs, with over a year of work. So long, because, like in the case of fake chillies, the choice of equal stones for color, cut and reflection was a difficult task. Lavinia Andorno

Tiara Carlotta, con diamante a goccia. pendente. Si può trasformare in collier

A tiara that turns into a necklace and 50 pieces of High Jewelery signed by Buccellati ♦ ︎
We can say it: once you have worn a precious tiara on the wedding day, jewel, though beautiful, risks staying long in a drawer. There are only few occasions when you can wear a tiara without you wouldn’t fit in in. But Buccellati, however, made a diamond tiara with white embroidered gold, as is the tradition of the Milan brand, which you can be transformed into collier. A jewel that, although it remains significant, is certainly much easier to wear. To realize the Tiara Carlotta, which is part of the Romanza collection, it took two years of work: it consists of five pieces. And it is understandably the most precious jewel of the collection, also because meticulous machining adds a drop-cut pendant diamond to the jewel (and wearer’s) front and can be removed when using jewel as a necklace.
The Carlotta Tiara Necklace is one of the high jewelery pieces presented during the week of haut couture 2017 in Paris. In all, Buccellati showed 50 unique pieces, from the bracelets worked with the refined technique for which the Maison is famous, from rings to earrings. Giulia Netrese

The flying ribbons by Cindy Chao, high jewelery of extraordinary achievement ♦ ︎
Cindy Chao said out to be a granddaughter of an architect and daughter of a sculptor. With this she wants to point out that her art, her jewelery collections, are not the fruit of any school opened in Taiwan, where she was born. Cindy Chao, on the other hand, has drank from she was child the ability to build, to see total. Her grandfather, for example, designed temples that had to take into account every smaller architectural detail that had a symbolic and aesthetic meaning.
From her father, more, she inherited love for craftsmanship, forging volumes with her own hands. Look at Cindy Chao’s jewels: they must be made by experienced hands, one by one. Like in the Ribbons collection, metal stripes that seem to fly driven by the wind, with rippling surfaces and pavé of stones following the contour. They are the latest creations of Asian artist-designer who well represent his virtuous ability to create. Lavinia Andorno

The new High Jewelery Lotus collection signed by De Beers, a name that is synonymous with diamonds ♦︎
De Beers, a name that has been synonymous with diamonds for over a century. And not only for the stones that enrich engagement rings, solitaire with diamonds that do not surpass, usually, a fraction of carat. De Beers is also an illustrious name for high jewelery, as shown by the Lotus collection, showed during the Haute Couture week in Paris. The favorite flower of Oriental culture, on the other hand, is one of the favorite subjects also by Western jewelery. Its symmetrical shape inspires ever-changing compositions and is no exception the De Beers Lotus collection. The flower petals become diamonds with the most different cuts, until they look like the botanical original, but assume an aspect that reminds the mandala, the geometric patterns used in meditation, as in a light necklace of Radiating Lotus diamonds.
The collection, in fact, consists of several chapters inspired by the life of the flower: Awakening, Blooming, Flourishing, Radiating and Soothing Lotus. Of course jewelry is made with diamonds, diamonds and diamonds. Mostly white, rough or polish, with some fancy color. Giulia Netrese

Anello della collezione Melody of Diamonds di de Grisogono. Un brillante, due diamanti a pera, 268 diamanti su oro bianco

De Grisogono’s high jewelery in two exceptional diamond-based collections ♦ ︎
Who knows if the diamonds can playing or singing music? Who knows if music can also be seen, more as well as listened? Certainly the gift of a diamond jewelery sounds like celestial music for those who receive it. Fawaz Gruosi, founder and creative director of de Grisogno, a refined Maison of Geneva, must also be convinced: “It is the Earth’s history, power and vibrant power, it is emotion, authenticity and splendor. It’s charming, charming and legendary. It is the most precious and rarer stone. It’s a timeless mineral beauty. It’s a diamond. ” An elegia that translates into two collections: one is called the Melody of Diamonds, launched in 2012 and is now reproposed, while the other is named The World of Diamonds.
One knows, among other things, that Gruosi loves collecting exceptional stones: in September 2016 he bought a large rough diamond, baptized with the name of The Constellation, with a diameter of over six inches and a weight of 813 carats. A year earlier he flew to Dubai to buy another 404 carat stone. And years ago he bought in a black 312-carat diamond and a 45-carat ruby. No wonder then that diamonds are now at the center of collections.

High jewelery
For Grisogono, as it is in its tradition, the stones are not enough. It also takes great jewels. Sometimes with bold designs, sometimes with surprising combinations, in other cases with classic non-compliance of conventions. Or combinations of special stones with others: diamonds and emeralds, diamonds and sapphires, white diamonds and black diamonds.
Melody of Diamonds Collection
Shape of diamonds, combinations, volumes: the recipe for an exceptional jewel is here. And in the collection now back on the scene of the jeweler Geneva the acute are not lacking. For example, a ring ring that mounts two oval or emerald cut diamonds, a heart shaped heart core, sapphire, emerald or ruby profiles, the ring body is completely embedded with stones where the alternation of Cuts gives a melodious rhythm to creations, without forgetting the rhodium-plated black finish to underscore the chiaroscuro signature of the Maison.

High Jewelery: Versailles gardens interpreted by Dior. Images ♦ ︎
Assuming not to put yourself in the shoes of Maria Antonietta (finished on the guillotine) it is legitimate to put yourself in the shoes of a queen if you can wear the new pieces of high jewelery signed by Dior. The Versailles Palace was the center of last year’s collection designed by Maison’s artistic director, Victoire de Castellane. Having seen success, the designer remains in the neighborhood with the Dior à Versailles collection, Côté Jardins. In short, the great garden of the palace, itself a masterpiece, is transfigured into rings, necklaces, earrings, and even jewelry-watches.
As you can expect from a garden and as you can expect from Victoire de Castellane, the collection is a triumph of colors, stones, shapes that tend to remember the rococo but without the frills of the French eighteenth-century baroque. But the richness of compositions, which often recall the bouquets of flowers, is astonishing. An example: the Bosquet de la Salle de Bal Rubis bracelet is made of diamonds, rock crystal, emeralds, rubies, pink sapphires, mandarin garnets, blue sapphires, garnets, tsavorites, yellow diamonds, purple and yellow sapphires, spessartites, and lacquer.
The result would been loved by André Le Nôtre, landscape architect who in the 18th century conceived the garden of Versailles, one of the most admired in the world.

The watches of the Buccellati Rombi collection: high jewelry have the time ♦ ︎
In 2001, Gianmaria Buccellati launched the first jewel-watch collection in Geneva. In 2017, Buccellati has not yet changed its mind and proposes ever-new jewel-watches. One of the threads on which the Milanese brand, now part of the Gangtai Group’s about the financial profile, is to highlight the great collections of Maison’s tradition and history, which has now been over a century of life.
Here, so, two of the jewel-watches are linked to the classic Rombi collection. They are made of white and yellow gold, with the workmanship known in Italy as Florentine Style, which is also the characteristic of the jewels of the Rombi collection. The case is made of white gold and diamonds, with edges in yellow gold engraved by hand. The dial is a full pavé of diamonds that encloses inside a Swiss quartz movement. Unlike the regular watches that are used to control the time, here the strap is of primary importance: in reality, a white and yellow gold bracelet with diamonds and edges in yellow gold engraved by hand. The two white and yellow watches are joined by the historic Rombi collection, for those who want something more. Lavinia Andorno

Sunlight Journey, light waves on the highly jewelery crafted by Piaget ♦
Sunlight Journey, a secret diary of sunlight shining on the Amalfi Coast. Piaget has so called his new jewelery collection. And what is better than light to spark a jewel? The sun’s rays, however, are not always the same: from morning till sunset the sensations that communicate the bright waves are different. So the collection was divided according to the different moments of the day and the light. And to show what Piaget calls the “sun moods”, the brand of Richemont group has organized at Cinecittà in Rome an event for a celebrity audience, from Claudia Cardinale to Juliette Binoche, models like Barbara Palvin, Coco Rocha, Shanina Shaik and Cheyenne Tozzi, welcomed by Piaget’s Ceo, Chabi Nouri. On the other hand, sun, cinema and Piaget are a triad that is reflected in each other: not surprisingly, Piaget’s Sunlight Journey collection was among the stars of the Cannes Film Festival.
The jewels-watch
The High Jewelry collection includes watches and jewels. Watches are, of course, super luxury jewelry more than just a timepiece. The secret watches, in fact, have been a peculiar feature of the Maison for several decades. The Sea Waves watch, for example, is an 18-carat pink gold manchette, with 428 brilliant cut diamonds (about 6.95 carats), while the secretive cover is made of a cabochon opal white (about 10.45 carats) And the dial is in mother of pearl. Other pieces extraordinary are Blue Shore, a white gold manchette with Palace decoration and lapis lazy dial, or Green Bisazza, white manchette with 156 emerald baguette cut (about 12.48 carats), 43 baguette cut diamonds (about 4 , 73 carats), one hundred brilliant cut diamonds (about 7.40 carats) and 23 black opal elements (2.90 carats).
Piaget’s High Jewelry
No wonder the great impact pieces of this collection are as many and as bright as the sun’s rays. For example, the collier embellished by a Sri Lanka oval cut sapphire matched with a diamond cascade. Or the collier with rubies and diamonds drawn on a rays pattern typical of Piaget, with a 6.63-carat yellow coussin diamond surrounded by red spinels and yellow and white diamonds. Or, again, a sautoir shimmering thanks to marquise cut diamonds, diamonds and feathers placed around an outstanding 45.99-carat blue star sapphire. The ring with a secret compartment is also extraordinary: it is made with a hard work with feathers embellished with purple sapphires, pink spinelli and diamonds. Lavina Andorno

Fabergé between gardens and colors

Fabergé between secret gardens for a few and colors for someone more ♦ ︎
On May 30, 2017 was celebrated the 171th anniversary of the birth of Peter Carl Fabergé, a great Russian jeweler who marked an era with his sophisticated craftsmanship. The Maison, which is famous for the precious eggs that were commissioned by the Tsar, since 2012 has become the property of Gemfields, a giant of gems market. And ownership change seems to be a success: in the first quarter of fiscal year, Fabergé jumped up of 63% of sales volumes. I also deserve the choices of the artistic direction, which has alongside the High Jewelery propose collections more traditional. As is the case with one of the latest novelties, such as the Three Colors of Love collection.
What are the three colors of love? Obviously, red rubies, blue sapphires and green emeralds, precious stones Gemfield extracts in its mines. If, however, the white of the diamonds is added, the colors would be four. But traditional diamonds are considered colorless and so the account returns. In some cases, the rings in the collection have a gold stem with small grooves, that are definite “genuinely distinctive and contemporary” finishing. The prices of this collection start at 2500 euros, to reach up to tens of thousands of euros for pieces with big gemstones.
Alongside such collections as traditional style, Fabergé continues its tradition of High Jewelery. As in the case of the Secret Garden line, which includes an unusual mix of materials, with gold and diamonds along with hard stones and nail polish. Rudy Serra

A small review of Fabio Salini’s extraordinary jewelery, which plans to expand his business in London and New York ♦

Fabio Salini has on his way the fate. He is son of a great entrepreneur construction, and he could afford to cultivate his passion: designing jewelry. But fate has also sent another sign: the talent. What it could have seemed a hobby of a rich young man has shown, in fact, a professional choice rewarded by success. In short, the Roman designer has earned a place among those who count in jewelry due to its ability. To begin his degree in geological sciences. First, he worked hard to Cartier and Bulgari where, in addition to demonstrating his creativity, he also got acquainted with the process of production of jewelry. After this training in the Olympus of jewelery, in 1999 he launched his first collection.

It was a success. His pieces also liked to Queen Rania of Jordan, who has worn them on several occasions. In 2004 he opened in Rome what he calls “his Atelier” where he creates and sells rings, necklaces and bracelets of its production. It is also a passionate contemporary art, so he worked with Fernando and Humberto Campana, designers who live and work in Sao Paulo. Also had international awards: for example, Salini last year won the Talent de l’Originalité 2014, set up by the Centre du Luxe et de la Création in Paris. After this presentation, take a look at his production, well represented on Instagram. He also announced that he wanted to expand his business in London and New York and Moda Operandi put him in the selected array of his designers.

Two flowers more to Pasquale Bruni

Two rings of high jewelry by Pasquale Bruni: they are part of Secret Gardens collection ♦
As is known, the gardens flourish again. Even those that are secrets, that are little known. Indeed, perhaps they are the ones who flourish most. Like love, the summer and the wind, the flowers mark the time of the seasons and get color to life. This premise poetry serves to introduce the new fine jewelry rings that are part of the collection Secret Gardens, Atelier, by Pasquale Bruni. They are pieces of high jewelry and are part of the best-known collection, which is inspired by those unfamiliar green handkerchiefs hidden in the courtyards of Milan. They follow a logic not only of interpretation but also the realization that put them at higher step on podium of the jewelry.
Eugenia Bruni wanted to affix a kind of epigraph to describe these two pieces: “The gem is the heart of Flora enveloped of the love of Zephyrus in a wind of passion”. More prosaically, the ring Flora is made of white gold with rubellite and rubies. The Zephyr yellow gold ring with emerald, white diamonds and emeralds. It would be interesting to discover a tree capable of flowering these two little masterpieces. Giulia Netrese

The roaring collection by Messika

Published on April 14, 2017

Showroom

High jewelery by Messika dedicated to women, the Twenties and to revolution of manners. And to the diamonds, of course ♦

Messika, a name that translates as diamonds. Valérie Messika, is the designer who in Paris continues her father’s tradition, most linked to the precious, brilliant, exclusive precious stone.
At Baselworld 2017, Messika presented a new exceptional collection of unique, fine jewelry, which she describes as “modern and emancipated, inspired by the irresistible charm of the festive Paris of the twenties.”
A period of history, the one from 1919 to 1929, the “Roaring Twenties,” which is also remembered for the changes culturally and socially, but also for the way of life, especially for women. “They mark the advent of modernity,” says Valerie.
Isadora
The jewels line has so called to tribute to a woman who has marked the time. As Isadora Duncan, the dancer and choreographer who invented modern dance. She has dedicated to her an extraordinary necklace, which required 600 hours of work for the construction. It is composed of 139 diamonds with pear cut for over 42 carats. The Isadora necklace is accompanied by a cuff, with a cascade of increasingly pear cut diamonds for 13.50 carats, and asymmetrical earrings.
Ritzy
At the Hotel Ritz in the Place Vendome they stopped all the greats of the last century. Its rooms overlook the most crowded square of the biggest names in jewelry. Not only: the word ritzy in English means elegant, glamorous, and derives from the atmosphere that is breathed in the hotel. Elegant as Ritzy line by Messika: a necklace with 89 diamonds, this time with emerald cut, which looks as a round neck with tie. And then earrings, and a toi & moi ring.
Swinging Paris
The Swing is not just a musical rhythm, but also that of the Roaring Twenties. Messika remembers them with a cascade of 127 diamonds oval cut and others 2,407 diamonds gathered on a necklace. The realization of this piece of fine jewelry has required more than 1,200 hours of work, even for the accuracy with which they were chosen stones. The largest, mounted as a pendant, it has a weight of 3.26 carats. The mount is almost invisible, a truly outstanding job. The set consists also a toi & moi ring, always with oval cut diamonds, and a pair of asymmetrical earrings, even those with oval diamonds.
Flappers
The line has a chocker and a pair of earrings with a very Art Deco design with well marked geometric lines. The diamond necklace with diamond and emerald cut that alternate in a play of light that brings out a central stone: an emerald-cut diamond 2.06 carat (EVS1) faceted. By the way, flapper is a term indicating the generation of young women in their early twenties began to wear shorter skirts, hold bobbed hair, listen to jazz music and to question the conventions.
Madeleine
Madeleine Vionnet was a French fashion designer, creator of one of the most prestigious haute couture houses all of France. Messika dedicates to her a series of jewelry, starting from the necklace composed of 446 (four hundred forty-six) marquise diamonds, ending with a bigger stone pear cut 4 carats. The series is defined as a foulard of diamonds, but it is a simplistic description. In this line also belong a earcuff, a bracelet and a double ring, always with marquise diamonds.
Roaring Diamonds
Roaring Twenties is a phrase used to indicate the decade that has revolutionized the costume. And this gave the cue to the Maison for congegnare a necklace with diamonds pear cut, but with the tip pointing downwards, next to marquise cut diamonds. Different sizes of diamonds are together with a very dynamic effect, not easy to achieve. Of this range also includes a pair of earrings and a bracelet. Margherita Donato
