The father of Nicholas, in fact, is the owner of Dorothy Draper, who is an interior designer company in New York considered very anti-minimalist. He, however, decided to break away from the family and living in Palm Beach. But the taste for the richness of the elements that make up something, remained.

This is the case of Thais Bernardes, who says: “I learned from the Italians to value details and invest in quality. My jewels follow a contemporary style for women who want, at the same time, to dictate fashion with elegance and lightness “.

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.

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.

The two-tone rings by Fope Essentials

Published on May 10, 2023

Why choose between rose gold and white, or between pink and yellow, when you can wear both colors together? The solution identified by Fope is to create jewels composed of gold of two different nuances. We are talking about the Essentials collection, introduced in 2021, which immediately represented a great success thanks to the transversal nature of the Flex’it rings and earrings. Two years later, the Venetian jewelery house presents an extension of the jewelery line with new rings. They are extremely versatile jewels, which use the Novecento knit technique.

As in the other Fope jewels, the patented Flex’it system allows the rings, offered in three different thicknesses, a pleasant flexibility, with a better wearability of the jewel, which adapts better to the size of the fingers. the combinations are white and yellow gold, white and pink gold, pink and yellow gold: the texture of the metal is divided into two colors in the middle of the circumference.

The unique jewels of Massimo Izzo, jeweler and sculptor of Syracuse inspired by tradition and the Mediterranean Sea ♦

About Massimo Izzo wrote also the New York Times. From Syracuse to Manhattan distance it is great. Yet the fame of the Sicilian jeweler is like the waves that start at one end of the earth and through all the oceans. The marine metaphor is no accident: the jeweler-artist is, in fact, an admirer of the waves and nature hidden beneath the sea surface. Most of his creations, celebrated around the world and sold in the two boutique in Syracuse and Milan, is dedicated or inspired by what the sea offers. Recently Massimo Izzo was invited by Elisabetta Cipriani gallery, London to create a series of works following his original aesthetic and superb craftsmanship which would further push his imagination and creativity. The result is six rings of great impact, made with blackened silver, sapphires and hypnotic opals.

Sciara, Blackened-silver, Australian opal, blue-sapphires ring

A truly amazing story, that of Izzo. Born in Messina, but grew up in Syracuse, he said that at 14 he was already fascinated by jewelry. Before moving on international stage, he start from the art school of the State of Syracuse, where he followed an experimental program in jewelery, and has worked for Salvatore Cassone, the largest jeweler in Syracuse. After learning the craft to the bottom, the Sicilian designer has soared thanks to an unusual order: the engraving of a silver plate on the occasion of the visit to the city of Pope John Paul II.

Blackened silver, Mexican Fire opal, orange sapphires ring

He has also worked with another famous Sicilian, the Oscar-winning director Giuseppe Tornatore, who commissioned the jewelry worn by Monica Bellucci in the film Malena. The jewels of the Sea collection are made in 18 carat gold and represent octopuses, sea urchins, crabs, starfish. All pieces are refined and processed rhapsody of colors and shapes, often using raw gemstones: resemble most to sculptures than simple jewelery. His work has been compared to that of another great Sicilian jeweler Fulco di Verdura, although the style is completely different. Sure, you can read in the work of Izzo a scent of Sicilian Baroque architecture that gave an impression of entire neighborhoods of the island city. And it is a style that has fascinated, according to his account, even Santo Versace, Tim Burton and JK Rowling. It is not hard to believe.

Giovanni Raspini’s fireworks

Published on April 22, 2023

Argento

Blue is the color of summer and in the summer it is easy to come across fireworks displays. The Fireworks collection by Giovanni Raspini is made of burnished silver with completely hand-modeled elements. The jewels are tuned to summer, inspired by light and color thanks to the union of burnished silver with mystic quartz with a rainbow effect. It is a particular processing of transparent quartz, to which a thin film is applied which adds colored effects, even with rainbow shades. It is precisely this aspect that led him to choose the name Fireworks.

Anello grande in argento e quarzo mystic

Like a firework, the brightness of silver combines with the iridescent colors of mystic quartz. The collection includes a large necklace, a pendant, two rings, two bracelets, and two earrings. The jewels are made with thin silver stems at the top of which a stone is set, with a style that deliberately recalls the explosion of fireworks in the sky.

With Morphée on the Milky Way

Anello Via Lattea in oro rosa e diamanti

The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy made up of billions of stars and planets, including the Sun and our Earth. Part of the Milky Way is visible in the sky and has always fascinated mankind. The Parisian Maison Morphée has chosen our galaxy as inspiration for the couple’s relationship: the galaxy moves in time with a circular motion, men and women choose paths that revolve around the construction of a common life. Starting from these considerations, Morphée has designed an engagement ring that has special characteristics.

The Galaxy ring has a design that resembles a spiral, in homage to the Milky Way. The novelty is that it combines an engagement ring, a wedding ring and finally a third ring that is added for a special occasion, such as an anniversary or the birth of a child. The engagement ring, therefore, can combine several bands, in simple gold or set with gems, to compose a jewel that is enriched over time. Furthermore, the ring is customizable: it is offered in the three main colors of gold, with the central gem and the surrounding gems of your choice. Obviously, at different prices.

Presented in 2018, the Dancing in the Rain Reverse collection by Nanis (we wrote about it here) has been enriched with new pieces over the years. But without losing its characteristic: the jewels, as the name of the collection suggests, can be worn in two different ways, thanks to their special design. The jewels are in 18-karat gold and use diamonds and natural stones, such as ruby, Australian opal, London blue topaz, amethyst, labradorite, perdidot. But, at the center of everything, there is the idea of the founder of the brand, Laura Bicego: a special mechanism that allows you to rotate the jewels and thus express them in two completely different ways.

Orecchini in oro con diamanti, tsavorite, ametista, labradorite verde, cristallo di rocca

An opportunity that allows you to wear jewels that double their function. Necklaces, earrings, bangles and rings use surfaces with faceted stones on one side, while the opposite surface is made with pavé. The Dancing in the Rain Reverse collection has obtained numerous acclaim and the ruby and diamond pavé ring is exhibited in the Vicenza Jewelery Museum.

Leda Madera, Giulia Tordini’s fashion brass

Published on April 5, 2023

Giulia Tordini, founder and creative director of the Milanese brand Leda Madera, launches a collection of gold-plated brass jewelry. They are jewels with a consistent volume, with soft lines, which can suggest a vaguely retro style. They are for sale on several online stores. Leda Madera is a Milanese brand that owes a lot to the fashion world, but focuses on the accessories side. In fact, she is part of a family specializing in the fashion sector: her father, Piero Tordini, designed shoes and now manages the Marcona 3 showroom in Milan. Her older sister, Giorgia, is co-founder of the cool-girl label The Attico. In short, it was almost inevitable that Giulia was also involved in fashion and accessories.

Originally from Marche, Milanese by adoption, Giulia Tordini attended the three-year course at the European Institute of Design. The collection includes updates to the first Realease 1 collection and the new Release 2 line. They seem to be inspired by the protagonists of the movie Thelma & Louise. But, to tell the truth, they seem more linked to the Art Deco style, which has a few decades more than the two cinematic daredevils. By the way, Leda Madera takes its name from her grandmother, to whom Giulia Tordini is very fond.

Wedding rings, how to choose

Wedding rings, guide to choosing it (and 5 ideas to find the right wedding ring for you) ♦

Jewels have always played a decisive role in relationships, not only from the most frivolous point of view, as one of the most appreciated gifts a man can give a woman, but also from a much deeper aspect, of union between two people. That’s why choosing a wedding ring to share with your life partner shouldn’t be taken lightly.

The ring for the couple’s most important day, in fact, will be worn (hopefully) for a lifetime. In short, the choice must be decided after thinking well. And also keep in mind that the ring must be combined with different clothes, different seasons, in the evening as in the morning. In short, it must always go well.

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

So, is it better to choose a classic wedding ring, in simple yellow gold? Or in rose, white or platinum gold? A shiny, satin or diamond wedding ring? Here is a selection of what you can buy on the internet: the wedding ring, like love, has no boundaries. And for the measure? The size of the ring can be easily determined by following these instructions.

1 yellow gold ring. It is like a gray suit, which is good for all occasions. A classic. It never clashes, no one will notice it too much, but don’t think you stand out. There are those who choose a yellow gold band ring precisely because it is a little anonymous, no one will ever have anything to say about your choice, and in 20 years it will do the same. Others, however, find the yellow gold wedding ring too boring. To you the choice.

2 rose gold ring. Years ago, rose gold was considered too flashy and not suitable for marriage. Today this is no longer the case: those who choose pink gold appreciate the warm color of the metal. Among other things, there is not just one type of rose: the color, in fact, depends on the amount of copper that is used in the alloy with gold. The brighter the pink, the more copper will have been used. To be precise, pink gold is usually composed of 75% gold (yellow, therefore), 6.5-5% silver and 18.5-20% copper. Of course, you don’t have to have copper allergies.

Fede Nuziale Toujours in oro rosa — Toujours wedding ring in rose gold

3 white gold ring. Discreet, classic, perfect even when complemented by a small diamond set in the band: white gold continues to have a good number of admirers. However, its luster depends on the type of rhodium plating used (this also applies to the other colors of gold). When white gold loses its luster with wear, it risks being confused with silver. But don’t worry: just take it to a jewelry store for a new quick rhodium plating and it will be as good as new.

Anello in oro bianco Heart Beat — Salvini, Heart Beat white gold ring

4 diamond rings. The classic solitaire is usually a ring intended for engagement. In that case, however, the diamond is branded on the outside of the gold band. Nothing prevents, however, that small diamonds can also be used for wedding rings. But in this case they must be placed very discreetly on the ring so as not to become excessively showy.

Anello di Piaget Possession, in oro rosa e diamante — Piaget Possession ring, in rose gold and diamond

5 platinum rings. There is not only gold: platinum is a great metal for wedding rings. In addition to being very chic, platinum is also a metal that does not easily cause allergies, and is very resistant. However, it is a little more expensive than gold. Not only that: once worn it is not distinguishable from a normal white gold ring: therefore, if you choose platinum, you don’t have to worry about showing the price.

The modern bijoux by Valentina Laganà, the colors of Sicily in modern design ♦
Silver, copper and bronze. It seems to list the metals used at dawn of human history. But they are also elements used by Valentina Laganà, jewelery designer, who prefers to be considered an artist of objects to wear.

Born and raised in Palermo, she moved to Florence to study goldsmiths. Since 2004 she has moved to Turin, where she works today. Behind her there is a 25 year career: unique items to wear, that she designs and realizes herself. In short, a craftsman looking for his own way. Like many creators who have moved to some point in their lives elsewhere, Valentina Lagana has not forgotten her origins and relives a bit of Sicily in her jewelery: majolica, flowers, fish, birds, sea colors and the figs of India find an application in its collections.

But the tune with traditional Sicily is limited to the name of a collection, Taormina. Valentina Laganà’s jewelery collections are, in fact, the farther away from the folklore you can imagine. They are modern, geometric jewels, and if you do not know the origin and the spirit of the author, you would say they are very Nordic. The collections are divided into six thematic lines, enamelled copper, multiple stranded wires, hammered silver, oxidized copper and elastic fabric. Prices: on average Valentina Laganà’s jewelery is between 80 and 140 euros.

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.

Collana in oro con tanzanite di 18 carati e 11,46 carati di diamanti. Copyright: gioiellis.com

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.

Given this, the collection aims to combine the embroideries and gold engravings typical of the Milanese brand, with the colors of large gems.

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.

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.
