Aluminum has been rediscovered for quality jewelry. Here’s how to clean and store aluminum jewelery ♦ ︎

Cans for drinks, dishes, components for airplanes: aluminum is used for many things. And it seems that the jewelry is also rediscovering this light and resistant metal. It is not, in fact, a novelty: aluminum was shown for the first time at the Paris Expo in 1855. But, at that time, it was a rare material: for this reason it was used to create jewels. From that period, when aluminum was considered as precious as gold, there are still very few pieces. It was very expensive and much appreciated: those who could, they put on display an aluminum brooch. Blackened aluminum jewels were claimed at the court of Queen Victoria after the death of her beloved Albert and became popular throughout the British Empire.

The metal. Aluminum is the most common metal on Earth and one of the most common chemical elements. Until about a century ago, however, was not known the process to exctract it industrially from the minerals in which is found. It is a very light and resistant metal. It is not particularly toxic and does not cause allergies (except in rare cases). A curiosity: the aluminum oxide, also called corundum, in the form of transparent crystals is more known as sapphire and ruby. It is also the hardest natural substance after the diamond, with relative hardness 9 in the Mohs scale (which reaches 10).

Jewelry. When aluminum started to be produced in large quantities, its use in jewelry was practically ceased, apart from cheap jewelry. But recently, this material has been rediscovered creatively by some Maison who value its qualities, often with refined workmanship. Aluminum was used, for example, by Hemmerle, Vhernier, Chopard, Suzanne Syz or the young designer Emmanuel Tarpin. Among the advantages of aluminum there is undoubtedly the lightness, which allows you to make jewelry with a minimum weight. Furthermore, it is a very ductile and easy to work metal.

Aluminum care. Aluminum can oxidize. Aluminum jewels can get damaged when in contact with creams, soaps and acidic substances. Furthermore, care must be taken not to deform the metal if you are practicing a sport or doing housework. For cleaning, if the jewel has no other elements such as pearls or enamels, just immerse the jewel in warm water in which two drops of liquid soap have been dissolved. Rinse well and dry with a cotton cloth. Since the metal is resistant but can be damaged, it is better to store the jewels in aluminum separately, in containers where they are not in contact with other objects.

The lightness of Aaltas

Aluminum has been re-evaluated as a material for jewelry by prestigious fashion houses, by avant-garde designers and also by young enterprising new brands. Like Sonia Lacroix, who lives and works in Geneva, one of the poles of great jewelry and great watchmaking in the world, an activity for which the designer has worked. She does it all by herself, designing and handcrafting her production. At the basis of which, of course, there is the idea of her which is summarized in the name of her brand: Aaltas.

A name that would be quite cryptic if she didn’t explain its meaning herself. It is a reference to the expression “a altas horas”, which in Spanish means to stay up late. In short, stay up late. And if in Spanish the expression is associated with nightlife, for Sonia Lacroix it means giving vent to her creativity outside the box. Aaltas jewels are simple and complex, with geometric shapes, but studied with attention and imagination. They are, as mentioned, in aluminum, and therefore very light, with gold details and the addition of small stones. The first collection is called Mambo, a perfect dance for those who live at night.

The charm of the fifties with Pin-Up bijoux

Published on June 23, 2022

/bracciale/COLLANE

Unexplored frontiers of bijou. That is: how to invent something new, but which costs little, very little. This is the story of Pin-Up, an Italian bijoux brand founded by Claudia De Rosa, which has a story to tell.

«I was born in Albissola, a seaside village in the province of Savona (Liguria, Italy). After studying Pharmacy, at the age of 24 I left for Ireland to gain work experience and to learn English: I stayed 12 and became the mother of my first two children: Julia, who is now 19. years old, and Joshua, 15 years old. From Ireland I landed in the States and then finally returned to Italy. For four years I have lived in Tuscany, in Terranuova Bracciolini, in the province of Arezzo, but closer to Florence, where I became Giorgia’s mother for the third time eight months ago and I discovered a great passion for racing bicycles, a passion that I share. with my partner. It is during our long bike rides that I have the most creative ideas. After more than 23 years as a medical trainer and marketing and commercial manager, organizing scientific events in Italy and abroad, a little over a year ago I decided to change my life and dedicate myself to designing and creating jewelry ».

The birth of Pin-Up is also associated with the pandemic period, Claudia always says: “During the pregnancy of my third daughter and short-time smart working, a global pandemic situation that has drastically slowed down all activities related to the sector tourism and events, I began to reflect on my professional career, my family life, interests and passions. I felt the need to go back to feeling alive and express my creativity in a free but, forty year old, also aware way. So, almost for fun and boredom, due to the social restrictions imposed by the covid, I started to create brooches, earrings and necklaces, rings, bracelets, using aluminum chains and wires. So last summer 2021 the brand, Pin-Up Gioielli was officially born for the inspiration of the rockabilly-pin up style. A passion for accessories that I have had since I can remember: I worked in very masculine and rigorous fields, often the outfits had to be monochromatic and dark, with few frills and very linear. Over time I have developed my own style which is a consequence of my whimsical, colorful personality and a sober rocker. Before creating my bijoux and accessories myself, I was always looking for jewels that created that extravagant focus and that made the same sober sheath dress appear different every time ».

The choice of the name, Pin-Up and the reference to the rockabilly style suggests the 1950s. Right now that the trend is dominated by rap and hi-pop. «I have never followed fashions and trends, I have always had my own style, classic, but with an extravagant touch and a reference to dandy elegance. I was born in the seventies, watching musicals like Grease, TV series like Happy Days. My dad is a big fan of Elvis and from an early age he gave me a great curiosity and passion for the United States. Rockabilly is a musical genre that developed in the early 1950s. It is a fusion of bluegrass, country, boogie woogie and jazz with a gospel influence, an irresistible combination of rhythm and blues and country. This style reflects me a lot: I have a sweet rock soul, I don’t particularly like symbols like crosses and skulls, I’m a romantic rocker. To crosses I prefer hearts, to skulls the sun and décolleté shoes with very high heels: these are the pendants that I most often use in my creations. I consider the chains a positive symbol of strength, determination and solid union rather than constriction, suffocating bond or worse still deprivation of freedom. For this reason I have chosen to represent the rockabilly style in bijoux ».

As well as the idea of the pin-ups: “That’s right. The pin ups come directly from the 1950s and in 2022 we are still talking about them. They were sensual and feminine women but at the same time provocative and intriguing. The pin-up style is synonymous with good taste, liveliness and color, with ironic sensuality but also with familiarity (and this explains why a brand like Coca-Cola has used this type of images since the beginning to enter people’s homes) . The pin ups were a symbol of courage and lightness for the soldiers of the Second World War. The pin-up is timeless, always current, always lively, intriguing but sober and elegant: this is my reference of female beauty ».

Villa Milano lights up summer with Lumen

Published on June 21, 2022

Villa Milano is a jewelery shop founded in 1876 by Benvenuto Villa, goldsmith, sculptor and alchemist, who exhibited his jewels and sculptures at the great World Expositions of the time. Now, now in its fifth generation, it continues to be one of the most refined Maison in the city. It is famous, in particular, for its large production of cufflinks. But it would be unfair to neglect jewelry production. For example, summer 2022 marks the arrival in the catalog of two new jewelry lines: Lumen and Botanic. We will talk about the latter in another article. Here we are dealing with Lumen instead.

Anelli in alluminio, oro e diamanti della linea Lumen

Even if, as mentioned, the roots of Villa Milano lie in a past of 150 years, the brand does not give up on offering jewels of contemporary design and conception. This is the key to reading the Lumen line, made up of rings and earrings in aluminum, white gold and precious stones. Aluminum is a material recently rediscovered by several jewelers, but not everyone knows that until the beginning of the twentieth century it was considered a precious metal. Today it is used for its ease of processing and for the possibility of being interpreted with bright colors, as in the case of the Lumen line: fern green, royal blue, fuchsia, or more muted like old rose up to red. The jewels are also enriched with diamonds, sapphires, rubies.

From Bauhaus to Coeur de Lion

Geometries, bright colors and affordable prices: the bijoux by the German brand Coeur de Lion ♦

It’s easy to say design. But only new ideas are capable of instilling new sap. It is the story of Coeur de Lion, that despite the francophone name is a Stuttgart brand. Have you ever heard of Bauhaus, that movement of architects and designers of the Thirties in Germany, who invented the concept of modern design? Well, Carola Eckrodt and her husband Nils from 1987 took lessons (virtual) by Gropius & c. The result is jewelry made with a humble metal such as aluminum, but with so many ideas that it becomes valuable. And, above all, do great fun. Sign that there is still room to invent. The idea is to use for the jewels of the elements chosen usually for an industrial use.

CollanaGeoCube con cluster rin oro e argento

The first designs of this type have been presented in Monaco of Bavaria. And a couturier Düsseldorf, Hanns Friedrichs, bought the entire first collection. Ten years later, Carola Eckrodt has successfully created the Geo Cube Collection, which not coincidentally you can also find at Bauhaus Museum in Weimar, at the Smithsonian in Washington and at the Royal Academy in London. In addition to these metal charms, the bijoux which love modernity they include Polaris resin, colored glass hand finished, and Swarovski crystals. In short, the estetic courage is not lacking, as true hearts lion.

These Anabela Chan earrings are made with an amazing material

Spring, nature, sustainability: three ideas that made the new Anabela Chan collection flourish. The series of earrings and brooches from the Blooms collection were created with a revolutionary idea: they are made with recycled aluminum. The metal is that of the beverage cans. Reused, and combined with gold and gems created in the laboratory, it becomes a material for refined jewelry. Judge for yourself: just look at these images to understand that recycling even the most humble materials can turn into sustainable luxury.

Orecchini della collezione Bloom, con tormalina paraiba creata in laboratorio

The project, explains the London-based Hong Kong designer, has lasted two and a half years, since 2017. Before arriving at this exceptional result, Anabela Chan experimented with many attempts in the melting and refining processes of aluminum cans, expired at a temperature of 600 degrees centigrade. And then, after being transformed into metal bars, used in combination with the traditional artisanal method of lost wax casting. The metal takes on intense colors, sometimes iridescent.

The jewels then took the form of exuberant flowers, with the addition of synthetic, but quality gems, often with an unusual cut, such as the trilliant one. The elements were worked by hand, individually. Even the choice of using synthetic gemstones was really decided out of respect for the nature and conditions of those working on the extraction. Indeed, Anabela Chan says she was shocked after a visit to the mines of Sri Lanka.

Hemmerle’s new extraordinary creations

The extraordinary creations of Hemmerle, queen of high jewelry design ♦ ︎

It is not a case when a marriage lasts 22 years. And if, more, the union is not conditioned by juridical or religious ties, the marriage is even more valid. Indeed, it is no coincidence that the German Maison Hemmerle has been present for 22 years at the Tefaf in Maastricht, a refined appointment for those who love antiquity but, more generally, art. Here only a few jewelers arrive, only those who make their production a work that is on a par with a painting or a sculpture. And Hemmerle is one of them.

The Munich jeweler is an extraordinary creator of refined unique pieces.

Born 126 years ago, Hemmerle is still managed by the family, in particular by Christian Hemmerle, and produces around 200 pieces a year. Unique pieces not only for the style, but also for the use of surprising materials and cutting-edge manufacturing. For example, aluminum. Thanks to an anodizing process, Hemmerle creates an aluminum with shades that recall the colors found in nature in precious stones. The earrings presented at Tefaf that look like small blue asteroids, for example, were made of anodized aluminum and aquamarine.

But Hemmerle also manages to ennoble silver, perhaps in alloy with other metals to make it unrecognizable. At Tefaf, for example, the brand presented two blackened silver earrings inspired by a 1927 painting by Paul Klee, Schwarzer Fürst, with a stylized face in which the eye is a diamond. But it makes jewels also with titanium, a light and sturdy metal, but difficult to work with: is one of the Maison’s favorite materials. Truly a unique case in the world of jewelry.

The earrings that look like flakes for Suzanne Syz’s gift packs ♦ ︎
Who is really creative is also witty. In short, it’s someone occasionally deals with life lightly. Let’s say, in the jewelery world most companies are terribly serious. If this also means a lack of creativity, decide it for you. Who, for sure, is good, creative and even witty is Suzanne Syz, a Geneva-based designer who has enthusiasts around the world. In view of Christmas, Suzanne Syz instead of proposing rings in the form of snow shaped crystals or yellow stars, has decided to turn their customers into gift packs. The Wrap It Up earrings have the shape of those flakes that add to the gift packs along with the golden paper and the ribbons that complete the pack. The eight pairs of earrings are limited in size and made in aluminum with different colors. Each pair of earrings also has 90 white diamonds for a total of 0.83 carats. Alessia Mongrando

Suzanne Syz’s latest jewelery, among unusual materials, pop and a stunning design ♦ ︎
Born in Zurich, who grew up in Paris, she moved to New York in the 1980s and attended Andy Warhol, Jean Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel, Francesco Clemente and Jeff Koons. Does anyone wonder why Suzanne Syz describes his business as Art Jewelry? It is, of course, part of his destiny, his attitude, his abilities. The jewels she shows attest this description. The last ones were shown at the Hotel Bergues in Geneva at the end of July. And, as always, they have surprised even by those who know Suzanne Syz very well.
Jewelery could be placed in three different typologies: those of unusual geometries that somehow seem to allude to endless volumes like Möbius’s Ribbon, exuberant luxury jewels, such as the enamel ring, tourmaline and diamonds, and those of Pop inspiration. This is the case, for example, of the fun straw-like earrings made of diamonds and sapphires. Also for these jewels Suzanne Syz often uses non-traditional materials such as aluminum or titanium. Next stage: Salon Art + Design NYC from 9 to 13 November. Margherita Donato

Hemmerle still amazes

Hemmerle still amazes at Tefaf: the refined combinations of Egyptian earrings, bracelets, aluminum and precious stones.
Innovation, courage, imagination. What other definition is lacking to describe Hemmerle? Paradoxically a: tradition. It sounds really strange that one of the maison’s creative Maison in the world, to the limits of recklessness, is also the fruit of a centuries-old history. Hemmerle was born in Monaco of Bavaria in 1893. In this year Japan decided to adopt the Gregorian calendar, Rudolf Diesel patented the type of engine that bears his name, and died the writer Guy de Maupassant. In short, in another era.

Two years later the company was already working for Ludwig III of Bavaria, and the imprinting of working on unique pieces, imaginative, unusual, is perhaps the feature that has preserved better. The descendant of the race of goldsmiths elite, Christian Hemmerle, now leads with his wife Yasmin the company famous for its refined creations, such as those who showed during the Tefaf in Maastricht (in a stand designed by the Dutch architect Tom Postma). It’s high jewelry, unusual, where wonderful sapphires can be mounted on an aluminum set, a brown diamond is accompanied with the humble copper, or with earrings in ancient Egyptian style.

Hemmerle, luxury with aluminum

Published on March 8, 2016

Showroom

Hemmerle, one of the biggest names in jewelry Made in Germany (http://gioiellis.com/novemberfest-con-hemmerle) is truly amazing. This time it prepared a collection called The [AL] Project. For those unfamiliar with the periodic table of elements (review the chemistry classes, please) Al is the aluminum symbol. Metal that instead of the airplanes this time pots and hulls is used for 15 pairs of earrings and a brooch. The jewelry is inspired by nature, including flowers and fruits. But, of course, the jewels are not only compounds with aluminum. Along with the most common metal there are precious stones such as diamonds, sapphires, aquamarines and garnets, along with the classic gold. The choice of aluminum, however, is not accidental: it is a light, solid, resistant and with a glorious story (in the past was considered valuable). As explained Christian Hemmerle, “malleability has allowed us to focus on innovation and creating complex works, delicate in design but very durable”. Among other things, the use of metal is combined with a refined choice in the color palette, which echoes the nature of violet and shades ash. Giulia Netrese
