Cartier’s Le Voyage Recommencé

Published on May 27, 2023

Traveling with Cartier. But it is a symbolic journey, which refers to the history of the Maison which belongs to the Richemont group. The journey is also across the frontiers of fine jewelry. And Cartier presented in Florence, one of the most famous tourist destinations, the stage of its itinerary, which has never stopped. This is why the new high jewelery collection is called Le Voyage Recommencé. Florence is also the home of classical Renaissance architecture. And the new collection is very inspired by the geometries of architecture, with jewels that show a refined choice of volumes. An idea that immediately appears clear in pieces such as the Ondule ring, with a grey-purple diamond in the centre.

Anello Ondule, in oro bianco, pavé di diamanti e un diamante grigio-viola al centro — Ondule ring, in white gold, pavé diamonds and a grey-violet diamond in the centre

Le Voyage Recommencé has over 80 new jewels, the result of the aesthetic care of Jacqueline Karachi, High Jewelery Creative Director of Cartier. The journey through the history of the Maison also passes through a new interpretation of symbols, such as the famous panthère, which is wrapped around the center of a necklace. The feline is used for the Panthère Givrée necklace, where the eyes with small emeralds are surrounded by diamonds and aquamarines, with small lapis lazuli as a link.

Collier Panthère GIvrée, con diamanti, acquamarina, lapislazzuli — Panthère Givrée necklace, with diamonds, aquamarine, lapis lazuli

There are many jewels with an exceptional charm. The Claustra necklace plays with a daring combination of openwork applied with the white of the diamonds and the black of the onyx, one of Cartier’s classic combinations. The extra touch is a 4.02-carat briolette-cut diamond. The Sama necklace required careful design work to assemble the different components. The result is a necklace that appears to be composed of crashing sea waves on a 19.27-carat Ceylon sapphire. But in reality the sea has nothing to do with it: the jewel is inspired by the dancing dervishes.

Still in Tuscany, but in the Lucchesia, Cartier sparks with his story in an exhibition with more than 350 pieces at Villa Reale di Marlia. The exclusive selection of Cartier high jewelery pieces has been set up according to the choices of Patricia Urquiola, architect and decorator who has recently readapted the premises of the Maison in rue de la Paix, in Paris.

Let’s to discover the high jewelery of Fred Fa

There is a high jewelery shop that lives in Brussels. In the capital of Belgium, Fred Fa paints, designs and produces exceptional jewels, and if you are not planning to pass through the city you can take a look at the privilegecreation.com website. In his studio, the Belgian jeweler-artist imagines high-end jewels, starting with sketches drawn in pencil: a skill that, by now, few can boast. But this does not exclude the use of new technologies, such as the use of 3D design programs or the use of lasers. In short, freedom and creativity.

We must not confuse Fred Fa with that type of high jewellery, sometimes a little boring, which re-proposes traditional patterns and shapes. His jewels are unique pieces that do not give up on trying new paths. It is no coincidence that he calls himself an explorer in the world of jewelry. Known by true connoisseurs, Fred Fa created his studio-laboratory in 2009. The passion for jewels, he says, follows that for drawing, a path that began at the age of 16 and perfected by studies to combine the artistic vein with the ability to create jewelry world. Once designed, the jewels are crafted by a network of trusted artisans in Brussels.

High jewelry in the fantastic world of Aso Leon

Aso Leo, spilla in titanio con diamanti, zaffiri, topazio

The West knows too little about Chinese fine jewelry. Yet for years jewel artists, such as Aso Leon, have been producing exceptional pieces. And even fewer Westerners know the Panyu district, which is located not far from Hong Kong and near the Guanngzhou region, in the center of the Pearl River delta. Panyu is one of the world’s leading manufacturing centers, where about 60% of all of China’s jewelry is created each year. A large part of these jewels are produced in Panyu, but are sold under the brand names of large jewelery companies. Aso Leon began working with jewels in 1995 and a large part of his activity concerns so-called Oem collections, that is, produced for other brands.

But Aso has a highly developed creative soul and has developed his own technique to reach the peaks of his high jewelery production. In perfect Chinese spirit, he was inspired by nature, translated into jewels with a fantasy-like appearance.

The jewels are made of titanium, a metal that is difficult to work with, but which allows for bold, resistant, light and flexible creations. Since 2005 he has been using this metal in a very original way, together with diamonds, semi-precious stones and, of course, jade. This is why he is keen to underline that Made in China has turned into Created in China.

Bulgari high jewelery with the Mediterranean collection

Collana Oriental Buds in oro rosa, gemme e uno smeraldo colombiano di 13,34 carati

Bulgari, high jewelery and Mediterranean atmospheres. The Italian Maison, now part of the Lvmh group, has chosen Venice to present the new collection of high jewelery called, precisely, Bulgari Mediterranea. The stage could not have been better to accompany exceptional jewels, such as those to which Bulgari production is accustomed, worn by equally prominent stars such as Miss Mondo Priyanka Chopra, American actress Anne Hathaway, and singer-actress Zendaya. In addition to the models who paraded wearing the jewels, including Stella Maxwell, Blesnia Minher and Eva Herzigova. The CEO of Bulgari, Jean-Christophe Babin, has done things big.

Also because the Mediterranean high jewelery collection is vast, made up of 400 unique pieces. Of these, about 90 cost over 1 million each and some much more. For example, the Muse of Rome shock necklace with diamonds and emeralds, one of which in the center weighs 281 carats. A burden that any woman would be happy to bear. The jewels are extraordinary. The Oriental Buds necklace, for example, in pink gold, diamonds, gems and a 13.34-carat Colombian emerald required 2,300 hours of work. As can be guessed from the name of this series, inspiration from the Mediterranean is, in reality, a rather extensive idea. On the other hand, Venice has historically been the point of contact between East and West.

Faidee’s dream rubies

Roop Chand Lunia. It may be that this name means nothing to you. Yet he is linked to the world of jewelry: Roop Chand Lunia, born in 1895, he is considered the king of the Burmese ruby. It was he, who passed away in 1960, who founded Faidee, a high-end jewelery house specializing in rubies. Roop Chand Lunia was a gemstone trader, known for his collection of rare and exceptional stones. But he especially fell in love with the red Burmese gem, one of the rarest and most valuable. For this reason, the company founded by Roop Chand Lunia is called Faidee, a name that means good luster, shining, in the Thai language. Faidee specializes in one stone, the ruby: it offers the most colorful, impressive and, of course, expensive gems.

Collana con un motivo a farfalla composta da 30 rubini taglio ovale e diamanti pera e marquise

The scarcity and rarity of Burmese Pigeon’s Blood rubies have made them one of the most sought-after gemstones in the world. Now in its fourth generation, Faidee therefore offers great jewels with splendid rubies and diamonds. The descendant of the founder, Rajeev, for much of his youth learned to cut and classify diamonds to continue his great-grandfather’s legendary legacy. Today Rajeev guides the skilled craftsmen of Faidee in the processing of the rough stones up to the final polishing.

Ceramics and high jewelery with Picchiotti

Published on April 24, 2023

alta gioielleria

For some time now, the world of fine jewelery has rediscovered the use of ceramic material to create bracelets, rings or necklaces. Picchiotti too has decided to explore the creative possibilities offered by ceramics with a series of jewels that creatively interpret some stylistic signs of art deco. As is the tradition of the Piedmontese Maison, these are always high quality pieces, gathered under the name of Gem Ceramics. They are unique pieces that recall all the characteristics that make Picchiotti’s jewels recognizable, but with a touch of innovation: large gems and elegant opaque stones, emerald-cut diamonds, sophisticated precious stones and a clear processing of black or white ceramic.

Bracciale art déco della linea Xpandable in oro bianco a contrasto con la ceramica nera lucida e corallo rosso intenso e oro rosa

The use of special ceramic for jewellery, which adds strength to the aesthetic aspect, is extended to a series of bracelets, including those of the Xpandable collection. These jewels, like the others in the collection, also combine the design with the characteristic of elasticity, which allows the jewel to adapt to the size of the body wearing them, without the need for a closure. The bracelets are enriched with diamonds, rubies from Mozambique or sapphires from Sri Lanka.

One pair of earrings features two diamonds of 2.5 carats each. Other high jewelery bracelets are defined by the geometric patterns of the ceramic next to pink or yellow sapphires, including one weighing almost 8 carats. In addition to ceramics, gold and diamonds, the series of art deco bracelets also includes the use of coral and turquoise.

The collection, presented in 2022, is thus enriched with new sculpture-pieces, in the imaginative and eclectic style that distinguishes Lydia Courteille. The additions are precious and particularly elaborate. Rings and bracelets are not only inspired by Indian monuments or icons, but are transfigured with an inimitable goldsmith’s virtuosity.

Collana The Briolette of India di Harry Winston, con diamanti per 90 carati

The large collections that belonged to wealthy owners, now disappeared, are one of the sources of jewelry auctions. Like the one scheduled for 10 and 12 May in Geneva under the banner of Christie’s. For sale is jewelry that belonged to Heidi Horten (1941-2022). Austrian billionaire and art collector, Heidi Horten was the wife (32 years younger) of Helmut Horten, founding founder of the German department store company of the same name. In May 2020, Forbes estimated her net worth at $3.0 billion. No wonder art and jewelery were Mrs. Horten’s passions.

Witness the pre-sale estimate of the collection: over 150 million. It is the largest and most valuable collection ever to be auctioned. Proceeds will help finance the Heidi Horten Estate foundation, established in 2020 to support the museum of modern and contemporary art she founded in Vienna, The Heidi Horten Collection, as well as medical research and other philanthropic endeavors.

Harry Winston, The Great Mughal necklace

The World of Heidi Horten is the collection of a lifetime. From Bulgari to Van Cleef & Arpels, from a small personal keepsake to the Briolette of India, this is a collector’s dream. Building on extraordinary early pieces she acquired in the 1970s and 1980s, Ms. Horten has continued to grow and curate her sophisticated collection, eloquently combining vintage and modern designs from the world’s leading jewelery houses that today represent some of the finest examples never to come to the market.

But let’s talk about the jewels. The most valuable pieces reported by Christie’s include Harry Winston’s 90-carat diamond Briolette of India necklace, originally sold by Cartier in 1909, a three-strand natural pearl necklace, also by Harry Winston, highlighted by a pink diamond clasp in the shape of a cushion of 11 carats (estimate 7-10 million dollars). Another top piece is the 25-carat Sunrise Ruby and Diamond ring by Cartier, pigeon’s blood color and exceptionally pure (estimate 15-20 million dollars). Also by the American jeweler are an exceptional diamond bracelet (estimate 5-7 million dollars) and The Great Mughal Emerald Pendant Necklace, again by Harry Winston (estimate 500,000-700,000 dollars).
Also noteworthy is a very important selection of Bulgari creations from the 1970s to today, which retraces more than fifty years of craftsmanship of the Italian Maison.

This is a historic moment for Christie’s, for the privilege of offering one of the world’s finest and most important jewelry collections from Europe. Furthermore, witnessing a philanthropic effort of this magnitude is as rare as it is extraordinary. Today, with the establishment of the Heidi Horten Foundation, the late Ms. Horten has created an important framework to ensure the functioning of her museum for decades to come, ensuring the enjoyment of the arts for aficionados around the world.

Viren Bhagat: the genius of Mumbai

Ricca collana con smeraldi e diamanti di Viren Bhagat

The extraordinary jewels of the Indian master Vivren Bhagat.
If you like the jewelry you see on this page you don’t look for the website of Viren Bhagat. There is not. And if ever there is a luxury most luxurious of others in the age of ever-network connection is just to not have a website. It can mean two things: you’re nobody and you do not feel the need, or you are so famous as you can snub the usual web brochure. Viren Bhagat, as you may have guessed, is part of this second species of human beings, those who do not need a business card to represent them. It is considered by some the Cartier India but from others has approached to Jar. Maybe it’s a bit ‘of both: he make a few pieces, fifty, a year, but with a lot of genius.

His headquarters is in the affluent district of Mumbai. Heir to four generations of a jewelry business, he open in 1991 his store along with his two brothers. He has an ability to interpret the jewelry that sends in the attic of the Maharajah the myths of the past, poetry and Mughal tradition. It is not that India is not present: is felt in all its creations. But it’s not a jewelry store that proposes the old days, if anything is a fusion between Indian style and art deco. “I’m not really inspired by art deco, I grew up with her,” said the jeweler. But perhaps it is the power of tradition that makes him bend metal lightly, with stones that seem to live its own life. Transparencies and thin conjunctions between different parts of a jewel are the constant stylistic. Sure, it takes time and perseverance: to create the bracelets may take six months, including research of the stones, cutting, embedding.

At the 2019 Couture Design Awards, Karen Suen won the Best in Pearls category award. The designer, among other things, has a predilection for rare conch pearls. But the jewelry designer does not need this recognition to get on the jewelery stage. Karen Suen made her debut in 2007, and has been very successful since then. The elements of the recipe are those typical of fine jewelry: excellent stone, scrupulously executed goldsmith’s, attractive design. But in addition, Karen puts her own personality into it.

A creativity that allowed, in 2013 and 2014, to get another award, this time at the Outstanding Greater China Design Awards. Her brand was renamed Karen Suen in the same year. Between glam and classic jewelry, the design of the brand based in Hong Kong is popular in China, but also in the US and Europe. And there is a reason: her Maison was created in the likeness of the European ones of the early twentieth century, where each jewel is unique in its kind and produced according to the standards of fine jewelry.

Edmond Chin’s extraordinary and rare jewelery, from as expert manager for Christie’s to jeweler for collectors ♦

For five years, Edmond Chin managed the department of jewelry at Christie’s in Hong Kong. The experience and knowledge of the market has suggested, in the 2000, to found his own brand: Etcetera. The Latin word, which means “and other things”, has become a brand in the jewelry world, thanks to the recognition during the best appointments, as years ago in Baselworld. Edmond Chin has focused on two aspects: technical innovation and the quality of the stones used. But now Chin, who was born in Singapore, has become creative director of Boghossian: Etcetera’s jewels have therefore become collector’s items.

Orecchini con smeraldi di 9,12 e 8,84 carati e perle naturali

According to experts polled by Gioiellis, Etcetera collections often use new methods of assembly to expose the gems. A skill that can surprise more than once. And even if the headquarters of the brand remained in his native Hong Kong, the jewels of Mr. Chin are becoming increasingly popular in Europe and America from private collectors. Like is demonstrates by the auction where his jewels are sold.

Fine jewelry, but no frills. Luxurious, rich, but essential jewels: clean, modern lines, with clear geometries. Also for Repossi, the brand founded by Gaia Repossi and now part of the Lvmh group, the time has come for a very high-end collection, with a leap in quality compared to the production of medium-high-end jewels created by the Italian designer who moved to Paris . The collection includes 15 pieces and was presented on the occasion of the couture week, it is called La Ligne, a name that is also in line with the denomination of previous works by Gaia Repossi.

Open and closed, spatial concept, empty and full: these are the concepts of contrast at the basis of the collection. Circles and straight lines represent the geometry of the volumes, while diamonds are used as points of light to underline the structure of the jewels, made in polished white gold. Rings, necklaces and large bracelets take up and expand the brand’s design lines, but in a more opulent dimension.

The metamorphosis of high jewelery by De Beers

Published on January 30, 2023

alta gioielleria

High jewelry that transforms itself and becomes the subject of a metamorphosis. It happens with the new De Beers collection Metamorphosis which is inspired by the transformation of something, or someone, into another of a different nature, as happens in mythological or fantasy stories. But, in this case, the metamorphoses are those that are part of nature, at least in the intentions of the specialized brand and almost synonymous with diamonds. In any case, jewels are ideally linked to natural events, such as the four seasons. Precisely for this reason, the jewels have been designed and created with warm colours, such as pink or yellow gold, brown and yellow diamonds.

Anello con diamanti bianchi, gialli e brown

Furthermore, the goldsmith’s work is very elaborate, with refined setting of precious stones. Goldsmith technique enthusiasts can admire the use of a fil couteau (i.e. a knife setting), a serti neige (i.e. a sort of snow pavé, more irregular) and the use of perlage (i.e. gold beads ). Among the others, for its creative flair, an ear cuff-style earring with four finely crafted fringes hanging from diamonds of different sizes stands out. At the end of each fringe is a colored titanium drop. These items can also be removed and worn separately, as charms on a bracelet.

The necklace can also be transformed with a detachable clip and pear-shaped yellow diamond: it can be worn individually as a brooch. These, however, are only the first jewels of the collection, a line called Prelude. More pieces will arrive for the summer.

However, as on other occasions, there is a link with the original activity of Dior, clothing. The jewels, in fact, are made with a thought to the lace technique, which gives lightness, but also extreme industriousness in the composition, with a thought to the creations of the founder, Christian Dior. Gold is often woven into a kind of filigree, but gems are also set in a puzzle that makes up the surfaces, or figures such as flowers. The jewels are also embellished with gems such as diamonds, rubies, tourmalines, sapphires of different colors, pearls, which often appear to be suspended without the setting being seen.

From Shenzhen, a large city that developed a few kilometers from Hong Kong, she brought her jewels to the Vicenzaoro design room. Amy Kang founded Joywith Jewelry in 2016 with the idea of proposing poetically precious jewels. Amy Kang, with ten years of experience in the world of the jewelry industry behind her, decided that the time had come to take off. With the addition of a specificity of her: the use of rare conch pearls. It is a choice that was suggested by her daughter, Victoria Yu, the designer of the Maison, who particularly loves these uncommon pink pearls, which are calcareous concretions produced by the Queen Conch, as the mollusc Strombus gigas is called, found in some areas of the Caribbean Sea.

The jewels of the Chinese maison therefore often have a pink conch pearl in the center of the design. They are jewels of great imagination, volume and lightness. Elaborate sculptures, inspired by flowers or the animal world, between extreme modernity and classic Chinese traditions. In 2022, Victoria Yu received the Outstanding Design Award of IGI （International Gemological Institute） of her Her Crystal Floral Fan jewelry collection was exhibited in Shenzhen Jewelry Museum. The crystal flower, a ring with conch pearls, was also selected by The Jewelery Trendbook 2024+.

Picchiotti high jewelery with a flowered sapphire

Anello con zaffiro di 9,45 carati, diamanti, zaffiri blu

Sapphires and an evolution of the jewels of the Xpandable collection, which adapt to the volume of wrists or fingers: Picchiotti at Vicenzaoro presented various novelties, always in the top-of-the-range jewelery category. Jewels that add to the new collection of reversible, two-sided pieces that can be worn on different occasions, which we have already described here.

Bracciale reversibile in oro, diamanti, madreperla

The high jewelery of the Maison of Valencia, which enjoys deserved fame on many foreign markets, could be summarized by the flower-shaped ring with a 9.45-carat sapphire in the center, surrounded by white diamonds and other blue sapphires. This is perhaps one of the most significant examples of Picchiotti, who loves to combine a creativity that can be defined as pictorial with goldsmith craftsmanship.

Another maxi sapphire, weighing 9.27 carats, is mounted on a ring from the Xpandable collection. But it is unique, not only for the quality and weight of the stone, but also for the particular setting: seen from the side, the ring presents a series of diamonds that make the volume even more precious. Speaking of Xpandable: the collection is enriched with other increasingly rich pieces, with the combination of diamonds of different sizes, with a thin gold border that delimits the volume of the jewel.

Five years after the death of Alexandre Reza, the great Parisian jewelery house continues on the path traced by its founder. In fact, the company’s activities had been transferred to his son Olivier as early as 2008. But it is worth remembering this great jeweler, who had an adventurous and exciting life. And it has become a myth in the history of jewelry. Just remember that in 1997, when Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris, she wore a solitaire ring from Reza, which she had received a few hours earlier from her boyfriend Dodi al-Fayed.

Bracciale in oro bianco con sette spinelli per 10,94 carati e 110 brillanti per 12,15 carati

Alexandre Reza, who died in 2016 at the age of 93, was born in 1922 in Moscow, into a family of Persian origins. The father was a jeweler too. The family, who fled the Russian Revolution, arrived in Paris after the Second World War. Alexandre Reza soon became famous in France for his ability to discover exceptional ancient gems from Colombia, India, Burma (Myanmar), Thailand and Sri Lanka. He founded his Maison in the 1950s and started trading gems: he supplied stones to brands such as Boucheron, Bulgari, Cartier, Chaumet, Harry Winston, Louis Gérard and Van Cleef & Arpels and later on making jewels for the great brands of Place Vendôme. Then, in 1981 he too founded his own Maison and opened his boutique in 1984. His specialty was high jewelery.

Orecchini in oro bianco con 74 diamanti e tormalina Paraiba

Alexandre Reza’s creations have become famous for their richness and originality of design, with large, but light, original, but not extravagant jewels. Unique, coveted and very expensive pieces, always on average above 100,000 dollars. In summer 2020, Christie’s sold a two-diamond blue and white Reza ring for $ 9.2 million.

Olivier Reza, who after having accompanied his father on his travels in search of gems had chosen a career as a banker, returned to lead the company. After a refurbishment phase, in June 2012 he reopened a salon on Place Vendôme and continues his father’s work with the aim of adding new exceptional pieces to the Alexandre Reza collection.

Spectacular winter solstice with Piaget

Published on December 20, 2022

The solstice is, in astronomy, the moment when the Earth reaches the point of maximum or minimum declination with respect to the Sun. In the course of a year the solstice occurs twice: when the Sun reaches the maximum value of positive declination in June and marks the onset of the northern summer or southern winter, and negative in December. Coinciding with this phenomenon, 2022 also exceptionally recorded Piaget‘s Solstice. And of course this high jewelery series is presented to coincide with the astronomical solstice.

Anelli indossati della collezione Solstice

A portion of jewels was in fact shown in June (see also: Piaget celebrates a luxurious Solstice) while the second tranche arrived in December. These are sumptuous jewels, which celebrate the solstice with the launch of the luminous reflections of the gems, with marquise-cut diamonds combined with others in the shape of a brilliant or baguette. The collection also includes two watch-bracelets, high jewelery also capable of marking time and surprising thanks to two ruby red gems floating in a sea of diamonds. Piaget’s gemology team devoted months of research to craft the Blazing Swing and Everlasting Night watches using diamonds contrasted with red rubies, blue sapphires or emeralds, while their respective dials were set with snow and black opal. The Exalting Dance articulated necklace, on the other hand, is arranged around a pair of deep blue aquamarines and a swirling swirl of diamonds that offer a spectacular glow.

The Solstice line also includes the diamond earrings from the Exalting Dance set, made with an intricate puzzle of brilliant, marquise and baguette cut diamonds. They are a special piece not only for their elaborate design, but also because they bear witness to the refined craftsmanship of the Piaget workshops.
