Space to Novecentonovantanove

Published on March 29, 2023

Showroom

It’s name is Novecentonovantanove: the number is the brand of a Florence company specialized in tubogas bracelets and necklaces (but not only).

In 1999, in fact, a new jewelery brand was born in Florence: after long and heated debate the agreement was found on a name that recalls the year of birth, Novecentonovantanove (999). A number that is easy to remember, just as it is simple remember the style chosen for the products of the company that now belongs to Enzo Lazzerini: the classic tubogas. That is, those gold jewels made up of pairs of interlocking strips, with a shape reminiscent of gas hoses.

Bracciale tubogas in oro rosa con diamantj

The peculiarity of this process consists in the fact that necklaces or bracelets do not require welding. It was a popular type of jewel during the late 1930s and 1940s. The idea also reflects the need to make up for the scarcity of gold during the Second World War. The 999 tubogas bracelets or necklaces do not differ from the classic model: made of gold, often combined on the same piece in the different shades of yellow, white and pink. In some cases the jewels are embellished with diamonds, as in the collections with the greatest impact. Monica Battistoni

Andrew Lamb’s illusions

Published on March 27, 2023

Showroom

Andrew Lamb is a Scottish artist who has won many awards, including the 2014 Goldsmiths Craftsmanship and Design Award, with a very essential yet full of poetry ring: the Lenticular ring, in yellow and white gold. Remember the texture of a fabric and the shape of a rice grain, two details that often go unnoticed and instead, for the jeweler, they are clear and evident, like one of the different meanings of the word lenticular. And so these objects also appear. But only at first glance, because in reality they are composed of intricate metal threads, and in some models even twisted like those of the fabrics, obtained with a proprietary technique and laser welded. The result? Rippled textures and subtle color variations that generate visual illusions.

And in March 2023 the Vortex necklace in titanium, white gold, platinum and silver received two gold awards: 3D Craft Senior – Laser Technology Alpha Laser Award and 3D Craft Senior-Wire Innovation at The Worshipful Company of Gold & Silver Wyre Drawers Award.

Lamb graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2000 and completed his Masters degrees from Royal College in 2004. He is inspired by the illusionistic and visual effects of Optical Art. His goal is to create amazing pieces, which seem to change while the eye observes them. The textures of the fabrics are also a point of reference. To make her jewelry she uses a combination of thin lengths of 18 carat gold threads together with the silver thread.

The jewels of Massimo Raiteri, classics that never set ♦

The beauty of Italy, in particular of Italian jewellery, is the ability to produce high-class pieces, such as those signed by Massimo Raiteri. It is one of the products of the great nursery of Valencia, hills that seem to inspire some of the best craftsmen in the world. Massimo Raiteri has a history which, as often happens in the area, is rooted in the family tradition. His father had a laboratory and inspired the future designer to try to transform the tiny workplace (in a basement, he recalls) into a place of excellence for jewelry.

He succeeded: we have chosen some of his classics to give a pale idea of the monstrous workmanship, within the traditional class of jewels, of which the Maison is capable, which has established itself over the years. Unique pieces, jewels for the few, classy. But so pleasant to look at even if you don’t own them. Gold, especially white, many classic diamonds, white and colored, sapphires… In short, the elements that mark the border between ordinary and extraordinary jewellery. To those who commission a job, the company also underlines «the respect for others by using palladium alloys, therefore free from any nickel content that could cause allergies. In accordance with the guidelines transmitted, the fight against conflict diamonds is primary. All the stones used in Massimo Raiteri’s creations can only come from countries not in conflict zones and none of them constitutes bargaining chips from illicit trafficking, fueling the exploitation of the dignity of those who extract them». In short, there is also a pinch of goodness in beauty.

Gems and striped gold for Buccellati’s Macri Color collection

Anello in oro giallo con spessartite e diamanti

Renewing tradition, departing from tradition or forgetting tradition? The choice of Buccellati, an Italian brand that has passed under the insignia of the Richemont group, is the first. This does not mean that there is no shortage of novelties, starting with the distribution choices of the Maison. For example, the new Macri Color collection was presented with pieces available exclusively on the American market. In short, it is not a new stylistic idea, but simply a commercial strategy. Given this, the collection aims to combine the embroideries and gold engravings typical of the Milanese brand, with the colors of large gems.

Anello in oro bianco e giallo con ametista

The traditional iridescent effect of the gold surface remains, which is the result of the striped engraving work, but to this are added large amethysts, spessartite, milky aquamarine, moonstone, lavender jade. All with the addition of diamonds in a radial pattern, around the semi-precious stone in the center of rings, earrings or pendants for necklaces.

How Quercia Gioielli grew up

The hidden gems of the Italian province: the story of Quercia Gioielli ♦ ︎

Not all the jewelers are born in the center of Paris, London or New York. There are also those who create and sell jewelry from a corner of the province, in this case Varese (northern Italy). Unlike many other jewelers, however, Quercia has chosen to offer rings, earrings and necklaces of own production and a good level.

Gold and diamonds are used next to stones like kunzite, aquamarine or peridot.

Anello in orombianco con acquamarina, diamanti, zaffiri e smeraldi

Everything is born, according to the story that presents Quercia Gioielli, from the passion for the jewelry of the founder, Mauro Quercia. A passion so powerful as to convince the future jeweler to move to Valenza Po, where he attended the Benvenuto Cellini Art Institute and specializes at the Igi, the Italian Gemological Institute.
After the studies necessary for the profession, in 1998 Mauro Quercia began his career dealing with selection, cutting, and trade in diamonds. And at the age of 21, he opened a business for the sale of diamonds and wholesale jewelery. This is where the journey that definitively transformed it into a jeweler begins. The experience in the selection of the stones, in fact, is clearly visible in the classic-shaped jewels, which use colored stones with remarkable carats.

Anelli della collezione Anniversary More impilati

It is true that an anniversary is rarely celebrated, on celebrated and selected occasions. But according to Recarlo it is a pleasure that can be repeated more often. The solution is the new evolution of the most emblematic collection of the Piedmontese Maison: Anniversary. The variant that allows you to celebrate the most is called, not surprisingly, Anniversary More. And it is also a temptation for those who want to give themselves a gift: on the other hand, there are more and more women who buy jewels without waiting for someone to give them a gift. Anniversary More offers new thin rings that can be worn individually or, with greater satisfaction, stacked together.

Quattro anelli della linea Anniversary More

There are 16 variants, which can be freely combined with each other with the result of an almost infinite possibility of combinations. If you are passionate about mathematics know that statistically the possible variations between 16 rings are several thousand. The bands in this line are of two types: open, to make it even easier to join them together, or small single solitaires, which can always be combined with the other models. The rings are made of white and yellow gold, with small round, trapezoidal and baguette diamonds.

Collane in argento e cubic zirconia con ciondolo a forma di libellule

Since there has been jewelry, and perhaps even before, humans have loved to wear figures that resemble animals. There are several reasons: in primitive populations, wearing a bone or the mini sculpture of an animal also meant mastering its abilities. But, probably, few women would like to identify with a snake, except to bite those they don’t like, even if becoming like lionesses could prove useful in many cases. Yet wearing jewels in the shape of animals is a pleasure, as recalled by the Tuscan brand Amen, which offers an animalier line for spring 2023.

Orecchini in argento rodiato a forma di farfalle

It is, in fact, jewels made with the classic shape of animals, such as butterflies, dragonflies, geckos, leopards, owls, snakes. Shapes that are used to compose necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The jewels of the animalier line are in rhodium-plated silver, in natural or pink colour, with the addition of white or colored cubic zirconia, which offer a touch of liveliness.

The goddess Athena for Alfieri St.John

Anello a catena in oro giallo e diamanti

Perhaps in ancient times women were held in higher esteem. Athena, for example, was the Greek goddess of wisdom, the arts and strategy in battle. According to mythology, Athena defended and advised heroes, educated industrious women, inspired the judges of the courts, but also the craftsmen and protected the children. But when she was angry, she became very evil and was still depicted with a shield and helmet on her head. The Atena collection by Alfieri St.John is dedicated to this mythological figure, a brand born in 1977 and passed years ago to the Gens Aurea company. The brand now offers the collection dedicated to the Greek goddess.

The jewels are composed of circles, ovals, squares or drops, which are intertwined and assembled in different combinations. They are made of yellow and white gold and diamonds, with a modern and refined design. The common thread of all jewels, including rings, is the chain, one of the oldest jewel models, probably also worn by Athena when she strutted with Jupiter on Olympus.

Eleonora Ghilardi diving with H2O

Published on March 10, 2023

Argento

Water is the natural element that is most necessary for the development of life. And it is also a matter loved by human beings. In reality, however, it is not a single element, but a chemical compound of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. In chemistry this relationship is summarized by the formula H2O. Water as a natural element represented by the formula is also the source of inspiration for the collection of Eleonora Ghilardi, an artisan-goldsmith and jewelry designer from Lombardy. Her H2O collection is a tribute to nature and to her most important element.

Furthermore, to underline the attention to natural balance, each jewel of the H2O line is packaged in recycled paper packaging, perfumed with a fragrance created specifically for the collection and a certificate of authenticity (Italian-English), jewel maintenance booklet (Italian- English) and cotton bag for the transport and protection of the jewel. The jewels recall the irregular splashes of a wave in shape and are made with the technique of lost wax casting in silver or bronze, with the addition of hard stones such as jasper or labradorite.

Botticelli’s Primavera and Birth of Venus are famous paintings of the Italian Renaissance. They are tempera paintings on wood painted by Sandro Botticelli between 1480 and 1485 and today they are kept in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Both paintings are among those images that have been reproduced many times to become a kind of icon, like the equally famous Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.

Now Botticelli’s paintings have also become the source of inspiration for a collection of the Viennese brand Freywille, which has always created collections that have large paintings or works by famous painters as their subject. The collections dedicated to Botticelli consist of rings, earrings and necklaces, 18-karat gold chains with a pendant hanging from them. Botticelli’s Primavera and Venus, however, are barely mentioned, perhaps for a copyright issue, or for an artistic choice. The jewels are also in gold, with lively enamel colors that recall some features of the painting.

Chantecler renews the classic Suamèm collection ♦︎

Neapolitans are known to be creative. There is no more imaginative and witty language than that spoken by those born under Vesuvius. An example is the Suamèm collection by Chantecler, a brand born in Capri, the island just in front of the Neapolitan city. Suamèm, in fact, is the transcription in the Neapolitan language (language, not dialect) of the French soi-même, that is oneself. It is an invitation not to hide one’s personality. Suamèm is one of the classic collections that have created the success of Chantecler but which now, in the year in which the Maison turns 70, is renewed with other jewels.

The style is inspired by the seventies, with yellow gold pieces now reworked in 18-karat yellow gold in irregularly sized links. Over time, the collection has shrunk to just four classic pieces: bracelet, necklace, ring and earrings. They are classic jewels, but at the same time unusual, high-end, with a strong connotation of design, but without forgetting portability.

When is the engagement ring given?

Published on March 4, 2023

Campus

When do you give an engagement ring? What does it mean when a man gives a ring? And what are the rings to give away? There are many questions to be answered. For example, it seems trivial, but many wonder what is the meaning of a ring worn on a finger. We answer these questions, also because not everyone knows the history and meaning of a simple ring.

The engagement ring
You can give or wear a ring because you like it, at any time. But the engagement ring, as well as the ring worn after the wedding, are special jewels. In Western cultures, but not limited to, an engagement ring is offered at the time of the marriage request. When worn, it indicates that the person wearing the engagement ring is engaged to someone: she has received a marriage request and has accepted. Of course, the wedding ring instead indicates that the marriage has already taken place.

La scelta dell'anello, un momento delicato — The choice of the ring, a delicate moment

The ring is usually presented as an engagement gift at the time of the marriage proposal. There is no precise rule for establishing the exact moment in which to show and give the ring: it can take place immediately before or immediately after the request. These are the most common occasions. But nothing prevents you from giving the ring even at a later time. And, of course, the ring is a gift that accompanies the acceptance of the proposal. No “yes”, no ring.

Immagine tratta dal video Night Light di Recarlo — Image taken from Recarlo’s Night Light video

Giving a ring means making a formal commitment. But it is considered a moral commitment, not regulated by law, at least in most countries. In short, it means that you can always change your mind before reaching the moment of definitive “yes”, if you do not consider the divorce. But this has not always been the case: in some countries, for example the United States, up to the 1950s a woman could sue her husband for not respecting the promise of marriage. As for the wedding ring, everything is explained here.

Quando dare l'anello? Non c'è una regola precisa — When to give the ring? There is no precise rule

In any case, the engagement ring has ancient origins: in some cultures, once the man gave the future bride’s family, or the woman herself, money or jewels as a sign of her real intentions. In a sense, this principle also applies now: those who spend a lot on an engagement ring will be less likely to change their mind, unless they are very rich.

Anello di fidanzamento indossato assieme alla fede matrimoniale — Engagement ring worn together with the wedding band

How should the engagement ring be? We talked about it in other articles. In any case, the most frequent choice is that of a simple metal circle, usually white or yellow gold, with a single diamond held in place by four or six prongs. It is the ring called solitaire. But it is not mandatory to choose this type of ring: it depends on the personal taste of those who give it and those who receive it. In addition to gold, platinum is also used for the rings and, for those less interested in traditions, there are also variants in titanium, silver and stainless steel.

Anello di fidanzamento — Engagement ring with solitaire

It is good to remember that an engagement ring will be worn often and for a long time, even after the wedding. By the way: after marriage it is usually worn on the outside of the wedding ring. An engagement ring that is too flashy may not match the clothes or end up boring. In short, it is always better to choose simplicity, which does not go out of fashion. In addition, in some countries the engagement ring is also used for weddings, one more reason not to overdo the imagination.
On which finger is the ring worn? We wrote about it here.

Anello con diamante a taglio marquise — Marquise cut diamond ring

If the engagement ring is the gift that accompanies the marriage request, this is not the case everywhere. There are countries where both partners wear engagement rings, which are often bought together. Be aware, however, that the sale of engagement rings has been growing for years. It was a declining habit until around the Second World War. Then, also thanks to marketing initiatives such as the famous advertising campaign “A diamond is forever” by De Beers (in 1947), the diamond ring has been increasingly sold and today it is one of the most purchased jewels ever.

The evolution of the ring by Arielle Ratner

From the world of dance practiced as a child she took the lightness. From that of jewelry, the art of combining metal and gems. From that of the economy, the ability to build one’s own business: Arielle Ratner has solid training in the precious sector, but only a couple of years ago she decided to take the field personally in the difficult New York market. The result is excellent.

Raised in Pennsylvania, the designer studied jewelry in various schools in the New York City area, but already at the age of 14 she was selling her first bijoux made with plastic and glass beads. Then, she studied CAD design and gemology, worked for David Yurman and for a contract manufacturer who also supplies jewelry to Tiffany & Co. A complete experience, in all aspects of jewelry, which helped her decide on the big step , that is to offer jewels with his signature.

One of Arielle Ratner’s toughest challenges was to create perfect rings for engagement, but at the same time different from the classic solitaire. In her case, this objective was achieved with work on the design of the frame, which is not a simple gold circle, but follows elaborate evolutions. Alongside the rings intended for special events, the designer offers jewels that center on large semi-precious gems with delicate shades, such as aquamarine, tourmaline or peridot.

The art of jewels by Munnu The Gem Palace

Orecchini in oro bianco, perle, diamanti

Bracelets, necklaces and earrings with sumptuous gems in the traditional heart of India: the style of the Mughal empire in the collections of Munnu The Gem Palace. ︎

India is a country full of flowers. Necklaces, decorations, braids of flowers are found everywhere, not only in temples, but also for weddings or special occasions. Thus Siddharth Kasliwal, creative director of Munnu The Gem Palace, an ancient Indian brand from Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, uses gems as flowers, with jewels that become artistic bouquets. This is not traditional Indian jewellery. Indeed, Siddharth Kasliwal spends most of his time in New York and has absorbed much of the spirit of Western aesthetics.

Orecchini chandelier con diamanti, perle, zaffiri blu

Jewels with colored stones have a simpler design than those linked to the Indian tradition, closer to the style of jewels made in Europe or the USA. Necklaces composed of simple aligned tourmalines, an emerald that has a diamond set inside it, no-frills earrings with a rounded shape: the jewels of Munnu The Gem Palace are also popular in the West. On the other hand, Munnu The Gem Palace is heir to one of the oldest traditions. Suffice it to say that the Kasliwal family has been creating jewelry for nine generations.

The Gem Palace boasts jewels that resist passing fashions: some pieces dating back to the family’s beginnings in Agra are still worn. In the stratified society of the Mughal empire, gems served both as an investment, for accumulating wealth, and as a display of power. For three centuries the Mughal emperors used the jewels created by the Kasliwal family of Agra: opulent and extravagant pieces, true status symbols. In Munnu’s words, “at that time people wore more jewelry than clothes.”

Anello con serpente in oro su un grande rubino opaco

The jewelers boasted mastery of traditional Indian techniques, such as Kundan setting and Meenakari enamelling. The story continued with a sudden sliding door, when in 1725 Maharaja Jai Singh II started the construction of the new city of Jaipur, which is still today the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Jewelers could not be missing. The Kasliwals then moved within the palace walls as crown jewelers. Even today the house of the Kasliwal family is located in Jaipur.

Orecchini a bottone con tormalina rosa — Orecchini con tormalina rosa

In the 18th century Jaipur experienced a period of wealth and afforded the Kasliwal family the opportunity to centralize their operations in a new location outside the palace walls. Many of the artisans who were previously scattered around the city have thus come together under one roof: the Gem Palace.

Orecchini con zaffiri, ametista e rubellite

The British conquest of India did not slow down the work of jewelers. In 1923 the iconic Gem Palace store was opened in Jaipur, which still welcomes those looking for the Maison’s fine jewels. The jewelery offer is particularly rich. The processing takes place in the adjacent laboratories. Munnu’s jewels The Gem Palace have been the focus of various exhibitions in the West, such as the one at Somerset House in London, with around 250 pieces of jewellery, or for the Met in New York, where Munnu and his son Siddharth have opened a studio and a showroom in a residence in the heart of the city. But the story isn’t over yet.

Poetry of nature that inspired the Rosato brand, from the Bros Manifatture group. Delicate insects are the protagonists of the jewelry line inspired by the awakening of nature, with bees and butterflies landing on bracelets, rings and earrings.
