Kashmir records for Faraone Casa d’Aste






A Sapphire of Kashmir get 12 buyers in competition at sale of Faraone Casa d’Aste. In the end it was sold for … ♦ ︎
Half a million euros is not cheap. Indeed, it is very much for an auction dedicated to jewelry and watches organized in Milan. And it is the sum agreed for lot 282 of the sale organized at the Four Season by Faraone Casa d’Aste. The auctioneer Patrizia di Carrobio has awarded, for 545,000 euros, a platinum ring with Kashmir sapphire, with a cushion cut of about 9 carats, surrounded by diamonds. The price is in line with the valuations of similar stones on other plazas, but it is also over five times the basic value, which was set at only 100,000 euros. In short, the race to win the ring saw a series of raises by 12 foreign bidders connected by telephone.
Good reception also for the two previous lots, 281 and 273. The first was a demi-piece by Van Cleef & Arpels, consisting of a ring and earrings in platinum with 14 carats of brilliant cut diamonds and 15 carats of round rubies, with a base auction of 15,000 euros was beaten for 60,000, after a long series of raises. The second lot, platinum ring with 4.65 carats octagonal emerald, surrounded by brilliant cut diamonds and baguette, was awarded on the phone at a value of 30,000 euros from a base of 14,000.
The Milanese auction house also signals lot 276, a platinum ring signed Bulgari with an old cut diamond of about 3 carats, surrounded by brilliant cut diamonds and baguette of about 3 carats, wrought for 16,000 euros. Sales totaled around 1,210,000 euros. Now the after sale starts. Federico Graglia

A waltz with Sven Boltenstern





In the old Vienna, a designer follows the family traditiont in the footsteps of her father Sven Boltenstern. No waltz: the style is absolutely modern ♦

Goldsmith and sculptor in the romantic Vienna. But not only think of Strauss waltzes: Sven Boltenstern has created a brand that bears his name, thoroughly modern. He was in activity of the seventies to the nineties, and the jewelry company is now run by his daughter Marie, who has preserved the style and the lightness together with the elegance that is typical of the Austrian capital. Born from the architect Erich Boltenstern, Sven in the Fifties followed the classic route that starts from apprenticeship as a goldsmith, he followed lessons at the Academy of Applied Arts (now University of Applied Arts Vienna) and then go to Paris, where he studied at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs 1956/1957. Ten years after, he had already acquired a reputation beyond national borders, with works exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions. In 1993, the Künstlerhaus hosted a personal exhibition. But, as mentioned, it is now the daughter Marie to sign the jewels of Austrian Maison, which often use the technique of metal (gold) hammered, along with stones like tanzanite and citrine.

High jewelry by Sutra

The first ten years of Sutra were celebrated with a series of high-end jewelery pieces ♦ ︎
Sutra in 2018 is ten years old. The Indian Maison, in fact, was founded by designer Arpita and her husband Divyanshu Navlakha in 2008. Arpita takes care of the creative direction, while Divyanshu, who comes from a family of jewelers in the area of ​​Dehli, takes care of the business. In ten years many achievements have been achieved by the brand, which has chosen the path of great jewelry, also appreciated by celebrities such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Catharine-Zeta Jones, Michelle Obama, Priyanka Chopra, Oprah and Mila Kunis. Sutra’s jewels are made in Mumbai, but the Maison also has a commercial office in Texas and a widespread distribution in the United States. Although the Sutra jewelery standard is always very high, for the number ten birthday the company has also produced a special series of fine jewelry. They are one-of-a-kind pieces, with stones ranging from emeralds to paraiba tourmaline, from diamonds to tanzanites. The result, which you see in the pictures, is worthy for the celebrations of the tenth anniversary.

Claudia Oddi: Pop and jewels





Claudia Oddi, from Parma to the States to create super jewels in the spirit of luxury, New York and pop art ♦

Well, yes, also in Parma, far from Paris, Milan or New York can birth new jewelry like those of Claudia Oddi. But this is not the whole truth. Because the designer grew up in Manhattan. And the atmosphere of the Big Apple, especially the artistic environment, can be seen in his work. Echoes of the era of Pop Art, the search for new ways in which to present a jewel. On the other hand, the designer is the heir of a family of jewelers and then he learned quickly what it means jewellery. After the most filmed city in the world, Claudia Oddi went to Milan and then to Florence, where he learned what there is to learn in the field of jewelery. Curiously, but not too much, the tradition has been assimilated and stored in a drawer: the jewels of his three collections, of which we present the images, are as far removed there from the habit of the Italian goldsmith. The Equalizer collection, for example, is inspired by the bars that appear on the display of the music playback devices. The Pop collection, as its name indicates, is a tribute to Andy Warhol’s Factory and to Roy Lichtenstein. And Rainbow is a literal interpretation of the colors of the chromatic scale.

Cannes, here is the high jewelry de Grisogono






High jewelery signed de Grisogono for the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. Here are the first exceptional pieces ♦ ︎
Among the fixed presences at the Cannes Film Festival there are not an actor or a director, but a jeweler: Fawaz Gruosi, founder of de Grisogono. The Geneva Maison in 2018 celebrates a quarter of a century. And the 25 years are destined to be celebrated on the red carpet with new creations of fine jewelry. As is tradition, de Grisogono does not present luxury jewelery which go unnoticed. On the contrary, the style of the Geneva brand includes strong contrasts, extra bright stones, and as usual, between white and black diamonds. Among the six pieces of high jewelery, which you see on this page, for models and actresses is also reserved the pleasure of wearing an Allegra ring, collection which debuted in 2003. The ring includes a pear-cut diamond of maximum quality: color D, FL clarity, weight of 5.34 carats with claws coated with brilliant cut emeralds. A decidedly out of the ordinary piece. There is also a wavy necklace with 247 carats of rubies on blackened rose gold, six brilliant cut diamonds from 1.50 to 3.80 carats. A piece without doubt exceptional. But that’s not all: in Cannes the Maison de Genève is getting ready to show off other jewels, stay tuned. Giulia Netrese

Infinia passion with Jacob & Co





The precious vortices of the Infinia collection by Jacob & Co: diamonds, rubies and emeralds that capture the attention ♦ ︎
Imagine vortexes that chain your sight. As if they were some pinwheels that catch the eye. Or, hypnotic spins that turn and become magnetic for those who see them. These are the aesthetic lines of the Infinia collection by Jacob & Co, a jeweler from New York with a passion for sparkling stones. Capturing the feeling of falling in love and embracing it forever is the declared objective of jewels. In fact, as the name suggests, the Infinia collection aims to bind to the sense of infinity. For a passion? Who knows. The colors, very bright, seem to communicate something that does not go out in time. Maybe. The collection includes jewelery with marquise-cut rubies, white or emerald diamonds, woven with round-cut white diamonds. The set is in 18k white gold and simply includes earrings and rings.

Punk and stop with Lauren Klassen





The soft-punk jewelry of the Canadian designer Lauren Klassen: padlocks, brooches, staples in silver and 14 carat gold ♦

Punk turned 40 and the controversies were not lacking: those that originated as a movement of rebellion has become just a fashion phenomenon? The veterans of that era, in the balance between music and social demands, are intolerant to see their symbols converted into fashion items, or become part of the clothing brand collections. But they have to give up. As evidenced by Lauren Klassen, Canadian designer based in Montreal. Lauren in his work uses a large number of objects which at the time of punk were as no-fashion: pins, paper clips, scissors used as accessories or jewelry. In this case, safety pins, padlocks, and blades for cutting have become pieces of jewelry, white gold, yellow or pink, silver and diamonds. Prices are proportionate to the materials used. His work has won numerous awards and his jewels are finished even at the New York museum of design. Certainly a place that don’t would have registered the visit of the Sex Pistols.

Giovanni Ferraris, nature is Bella






The Bella collection by Giovanni Ferraris, beautiful like the colors of nature and the dew drops ♦ ︎
What is beauty? The question, at first glance, seems silly. But it is not. First of all beauty is the result of a set of aspects, quality, parameters. Furthermore, it can vary over time from one culture to another. There are, however, some canons of beauty that seem immutable or, at least, are recurring over the centuries and common to different cultures. One of these beauty models is linked to nature and colors. Difficult to find cultures or people who do not find the nuances of a landscape fascinating. Or, as far as jewelery is concerned, the colors of precious stones.
Combine the two concepts: jewelery and aesthetic sense, and here is the Bella collection by Giovanni Ferraris, seen at Baselworld 2018. The Bella collection is, in fact, beautiful. Play on what are the basic colors of jewelry, namely those of sapphires, rubies and emeralds. Blue, red, green. To which are added the white of the diamonds and the shades of gold, white or pink. Even the shape of the jewels recalls that of nature, with drops that form long spikes or small ovals scattered like wildflowers. Note the detail of the drop-shaped setting in burnished gold.

Tiffany blossoms with Paper Flowers






Tiffany Paper Flowers, the first collection of the American Maison signed by the new design director Reed Krakoff ♦ ︎
A debut must always be observed carefully. Even more so if the debut has a stage like that of Tiffany, the largest group of jewelry. To debut as chief artistic officer is Reed Krakoff, who launched the new Tiffany Paper Flowers collection in the USA (will follow other countries). As the name suggests, the collection is inspired by paper flowers but, of course, pendants, earrings, bracelets and rings are precious. To make the idea, prices start at $ 2,500 to go up to 75,000. Among the most precious pieces stands a necklace with more than 68 carats of pear-shaped diamonds and brilliant cut, interspersed with platinum flowers. In short, the only card you will see is, in case, an American Express.
The Paper Flowers collection includes jewelry with platinum petals with diamonds. Together with these two basic elements, if we can call them that, there are gems like tanzanite, fancy diamonds, for example yellow. The idea is to add brushstrokes of color like iris and fireflies, according to Tiffany.
«Paper Flowers aims to eliminate all the rules associated with jewelery», is instead the comment by Krakoff. «Luxury should not always mean formalities, so we used precious stones and refined materials, but in such a way that we can live every day».
According to Tiffany, Paper Flowers is the biggest jewelry launch from the Tiffany Keys collection, in 2009. In fact, to celebrate the release of Paper Flowers on May 1, Krakoff and his team have painted in Tiffany Blue color some subway stations and taxi of New York. Lavinia Andorno

Precious Nexus with Qayten






A collection to be framed: Nayus by Qayten on the stage of the Couture in Las Vegas ♦ ︎
Nexus, Latin word meaning link. A friendship, for example. Or, even closer nexus, a bond of love. This concept of connection has inspired one of the most voted Italian companies to innovation, creativity and originality in the world of jewelry. Also these concepts, for the Bolognese Qayten, are ideas that have a link. And Nexus is the name of the collection that the brand has decided to bring to the Couture of Las Vegas, one of the world’s stages where the most precious, and even the most daring, jewelry designers are compared. The collection includes a bracelet with leather strap, but also a ring and a princely necklace.
The jewels are made with diamonds that frame blue-purple tanzanites, in a tzavorite weave woven with an imperceptible thread by the hands of skilled artisans, to seal a bond that holds the eternity of works of art. About nexus: Qayten is a Sanskrit word, the ancient language of India, which means “origin”. And it is from a origin of something that a nexus is generated.

On Earth with de Grisogono





The Earth according to de Grisogono is round like the high jewelry of the Gaïa ︎collection ♦
Gaia is a personal female name in Italian, but it is also that of the primordial goddess who personifies the Earth in Greek mythology. In short, it is an important character. And it is no coincidence that de Grisogono has dedicated a new collection of high jewelery to the goddess of the world. The round form, developed and multiplied with many small spheres, seems an eruption of many worlds ready to transform into a planet on which Nature reigns.
But, beyond philosophical speculations, Gaïa di de Grisogono jewels also show the usual surprising vitality of design. They are earrings and rings do not go unnoticed, and not only for their generous size, but also for the design dictated by the materials used. The Maison has, in fact, accustomed her fans to a creativity that is not limited to the form, but also to the choice of materials. In this case, the jewels are presented in two different versions: one made with creamy white cacholong opal, with shiny pink gold pearls decorated with diamonds, or with a contrast created by turquoise and tsavorites set on white gold pearls.

The Mattioli’s Chips






Chips: mini collection of Mattioli in white or pink gold and diamonds. But with chips have not to do with ♦ ︎
It may happen that you want some Chips, but not for eat. Chips, in fact, is the name of a capsule collection by Mattioli. And, in fact, the shape of a bracelet, earrings and ring recalls that of the thin round slices of fried potatoes, like those that are bought in bags. Needless to say that, in addition to the name and the voluptuously rounded shape, with two circular shapes that touch each other, the jewels have nothing in common with the real chips. The jewels are made with a thread of white or pink gold and white diamonds. For the type of realization Mattioli compares this mini collection with another, Tibet, inspired by the thread of Himalayan life. Who knows, maybe also in Tibet they like Chips. Alessia Mongrando

White, blue, red and green: these are the colors of a hypothetical jewelery flag. They are the shades, that is, of the main stones: sapphires, emeralds, rubies and diamonds. This new palette is based on the new Forever Unique Sinuo Color collection, the result of the work of the jewelry designer Paola Casorati. Made in Italy, the jewels of this line are multiplied in 11 sets, four with sapphires, three with emeralds and four with rubies, all on white gold. On the other hand, the common, pure, natural and ethical diamonds are certified by IIDGR, the International Institute of Diamond Grading & Research (a company of the Beers group). The warranty on the stones used is then engraved on the diamond belt with a special laser writing.
In addition to the usual 4 C, Carat (caratura), Color (color), Clarity (purity) and Cut (cut), IIDGR is added the certification of a fifth feature: the Confidence C (trust), guarantee of ethics and transparency ‘use of stones that meet the requirements of the Kimberley Process of the World Diamond Council approved by the United Nations, ie the so-called ethical diamonds. And, of course, natural and not synthetic. Lavinia Andorno

Picchiotti, new luxury Xpandable

//






New expansion of Picchiotti’s Xpandable collection: flexible rings with exceptional stones surrounded by diamonds ♦ ︎
Xpandable is one of Picchiotti’s most popular collections. The high-end jewelry Maison in Valenza has in fact thought of combining the concept of luxury with that of comfort: the rings or bracelets of this collection boast not only a great wealth of raw material, that is, the precious stones used, but also the pleasantness of a flexible system that adapts to the finger or the wrist thanks to an invisible elastic system (thanks to a patent). No fear, therefore, that the precious jewel is no longer wearable because of a severe weight loss diet or (more often) of a few pounds that is added over time.
Picchiotti at Baselworld 2018 presented a series of new pieces of great appeal of the series. But now he anticipates another, destined to shine at the next Couture in Las Vegas. It is a ring with seven extraordinary octagonal emeralds in a three-dimensional setting of baguettes and round diamonds. Certainly one of the leading pieces of the Piedmontese company. But also the other rings are not less preciouses. The jewels are conceived with central stones of particular value. Among all, to report a ring with a rare oval sapphire of purple color, not heated, which is also the Pantone Color for 2018. The central stones are then matched to the circle of the ring, covered with diamonds. «For the new generation of Xpandable rings we have created a series with a center of exceptional precious stones, making each ring an exclusive unique piece», is the comment by Giuseppe Picchiotti, founder of the Maison.

Leo Pizzo on the wings of a butterfly

//






The jewelry by Leo Pizzo take off with the Light Wings collection: delicate butterflies made with gold and diamonds ♦ ︎
A woman is free as a butterfly. And the Light Wings collection by Leo Pizzo is inspired by the large light wings of the butterflies. Which has a double objective: that of course, to propose a refined jewel to wear, but also the most symbolic one to sing a hymn to lightness. On the other hand, the art of refinement is light, like the hand of the goldsmiths working for Leo Pizzo. Let’s face it: the jeweler based in Valenza does not make life easy for those who have to compose the Maison’s collections. Between pavé and embroidery, trappings and setting of diamonds, the artisans do not have time to get bored. The result, however, gives merit to their effort.
Light Wings butterflies seem to take flight and the reflections of the golden wings take on colorful shades of yellow, pink and silver when they move. A work of difficult tunnel creates a full and empty effect, giving the jewels a beautiful three-dimensional effect that has always been the trademark of the brand. Just like in the other recent Merletti collection (we have already spoken here). Giulia Netrese

Love is Puro with Recarlo

/






Love interpreted in Recarlo’s Anniversary collection with the Puro and Platino lines. Images and price ♦ ︎
Love, if it is not pure, is not love. And if it is pure, it deserves to be certified. With a small golden seal. With this in mind, one of the most attentive Italian Maison dedicated to love and anniversaries, Recarlo, offers two special series of the Anniversary collection. One is called, precisely, Anniversary Puro, while the other Anniversary Platinum. The Maison also states that it’s pure also the diamond used: in particular, the stones mounted on rings and earrings are of IF class, the rarest in the world. But, as anticipated, the Puro line is also distinguished by the 24 carat gold seal that accompanies every jewel.
The Platinum line, instead, as you can easily guess is made with the finest metal, a classic for the rings with diamonds. This type of rings is marked by the Platinum engraving inside the stem, flanked by a small diamond. Obviously smaller than that mounted with four or six claws on the outside of the ring. A couple of indicative prices: a 0.75 carat Puro pendant has a cost of 10.820 euros, a 0.84 carat diamond ring 13.150. 1 carat up price on request. Alessia Mongrando

Bliss’s first love

//





The gift for the first love with Bliss’s Primo Amore collection. Earrings, ring, necklace in white gold and diamonds. Images and price ♦ ︎
If, as the saying goes, the first love is never forgotten, then even the first jewel of the first love will remain as the first memory. The Bliss Primo Amore collection thinks about young people who know each other, like each other, get together and, almost inevitably, make gifts. The collection is presented in 2018 with some additions, which makes it richer and perhaps more romantic: flowers, stars, hearts are the forms of love and collection. Which comes with jewels that are worthy of a gift of some importance and, above all, of a first love: earrings, necklaces and rings are made of white gold with small, but bright, diamonds in the center. In short, the classic combination for jewelry related to feelings or important events. The first love is often accompanied by a not yet perfect realization in the world of work. The collection, for this reason, is suitable for those who must or want to keep the bank account under control: prices start, in fact, from € 299 to go up to € 359 for earrings that have more than one diamond.

Flowers and wind for Pasquale Bruni

///





A parure as soft as the wind and as sweet as flowers: Flora and Zephyr, from the Atelier Vento collection by Pasquale Bruni ♦ ︎
A picture is worth more than a hundred words and a jewelry parure may be worth more than one hundred collections. As long as it is something perfectly balanced. Because a parure is a set that must play in unison, like an orchestra. Or with that delicate balance that nature is capable of when it shows a flower or a landscape. It is precisely in an open, free space that the parure presented at Baselworld by Pasquale Bruni is inspired. The new set of haute joaillerie is called Flora and Zefiro, from the Atelier Vento collection. That is the Roman goddess of flowering and the wind of mythology: a natural compendium that is made of leaves in white gold and diamonds (the zephyr), which embrace the leaves in rosé gold (the flora).
As always, between the myth and the poem, the images that inspired the creative direction of Eugenia Bruni, who never gives up adding a brushstroke to comment on her collections: «Love is like spring among the wings of the wind», it is her signature to the set, composed of earrings, bracelet and ring. Soft jewelry to wear, like flowers and wind. Giulia Netrese
