The animals of Amen




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.

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




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




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.

The precious music of Verdi Gioielli




Verdi Gioielli has already celebrated half a century, but it don’t show it. Rings, necklaces and bracelets have not aged, even if the company has a respectable age. The high-end brand, which focuses heavily on colored precious stones, was born in 1971 in Valenza, Piedmont, an area where high quality jewelery lives. The founder, Giuseppe Verdi, namesake of the great opera composer, has gained fame also thanks to his bracelets with an unmistakable design. now the company is led by his son, Marco Verdi, in the name of continuity, but without falling into repetition.

Verdi still focuses on the quality of the precious stones, combined with craftsmanship, in the collections which, leaving aside the similarities with nineteenth-century music, instead seek harmonies with what is contemporary, as in the Rock and Roll collection. But there are also Blues, Pop, Funky collections. Turquoise and coral, combined with gold and precious and semi-precious stones are the elements that make up the score of the collection, in a style that also recalls art deco.

Jewelry with Botticelli by Freywille




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 Suamèm again




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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anello Tilded Perch in oro 18 carati e diamante

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.

Souls, Fope’s rings for twin spirits

Rings (preferably) for two soul mates. Fope launches the new Souls jewelery collection, designed with an explicit dedication to couples. The line consists of new rings that use the patented Flex’it technique. For those who don’t know, it should be remembered that it is a system made up of microscopic, invisible gold springs found inside the jewel, which can thus be adapted to the size and shape of the wearer’s body. ring or bracelet, in this case the fingers.

The rings are in white, yellow or pink gold, but in addition they are enriched with a single precious stone: pink or blue sapphire, ruby, emerald or the classic diamond, also available in black. The stone thus replaces the shape of the washer used by Fope for other types of rings. The Souls collection was also designed to be chosen on the occasion of an engagement, as a ring to give for the statement, and are considered wearable regardless of gender. The price is around 1,400 euros, but varies according to the model.

The art of jewels by Munnu The Gem Palace




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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

The coincidences of Maria Marchegiani




The jewellery by Maria Marchegiani: works that bloom in the small town of Jesi.
There are jewels that are not born in Paris, and even in Milan, Vicenza and Valenza. There are jewels that, however, are born in a city of Italy, which isn’t famous for its boutiques. Yet in Jesi, a small town in the Marche region, works with appropriate conviction the creator and designer Maria Marchegiani. Coincidentally, as for other designers, she has an artistic background: he started with build sets for the theater, paint, restore old paintings, ironwork, ceramics. In her story, among other things, has a diploma at school of the sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro with Iris Project, a jewel-anthropological and contemporary sculpture.

She turns herself, then, to goldsmith’s art: began his career in 2004 when he opened a studio of design and laboratory Goldsmith Art Marchegiani in the historic Via degli Orefici that another coincidence, it is the place where he worked Lucagnolo, a student of Welcome Cellini. With this patron saint in the area, Maria Marchegiani uses silver, gold, precious and semi-precious gems, with metal alloys that are created entirely within the laboratory, also with special colors. The inspirational motifs are the most diverse: from the natural and the man. Are more than abstract ideas real models. But also she can make also custom jewelry.

Alberti, the classic for all




Alberti, a company in Valenza (Italy) that develops jewellery, from design to final creation ♦

Alberti: the beauty of jewelry without exaggerating. In Valenza, in the goldsmith tradition of the Piedmontese jewelery district, since 1974 the company has been offering the processing of rings and pendants made according to the good habits consolidated by the centuries-old tradition.

The idea, respected, was to propose classic jewels, which were then renewed over time.

Alberti is one of those brands where a solitaire ring corresponds exactly to a solitaire ring: a brilliant cut diamond on a white gold circle, without distorting the basic idea of the jewel. The rings have their large gemstone, emerald, diamond or sapphire, surrounded by a crown of small brilliant-cut diamonds on white gold. Classics. But that’s not all: there is no shortage of jewels with original combinations of gems or very modern designs, as in the rings seen at Vicenzaoro.

All about the You and Me ring




How to choose a Toi et Moi ring? And why is it called exactly like that: here’s what you need to know about the ring with two gems.

Do you want to give an unforgettable ring? Would you like to receive a ring that is worth double? Are you looking for a ring that symbolizes love as a couple? Then, probably, the choice will fall on a Toi et Moi type ring. It will certainly be appreciated (also because it costs more than a normal solitaire). The reason? It’s simple: it’s a double ring. But which also has a particular symbolic meaning.

But do you know why it is called in this way the ring that has two opposing stones?

Here is the explanation. But, first of all, it is good to tell that the birth of this type of jewelry is even attributed to Napoleon. To be precise, this ring shape is believed to have been born with the gift of Napoleon to his beloved Josephine, in 1776. The ring was in gold, with a sapphire set opposite to a diamond. Perhaps for this reason the engagement rings Toi et Moi were much appreciated during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Even today, however, they are appreciated a lot.

The meaning of Toi et Moi, which in the US and Britain becomes You and Me, indicates the eternal union of two different souls.

There isn’t, however, a rule concerning the stones: they can be two diamonds, or they can be gems of different colors. Even the type of frame varies. Beware, however, the choice: the rings Toi et Moi are very appreciated when their stones are of a certain size, but of course also their price doubles. But choosing a ring of this kind with stones that are too small makes little sense: it is precisely the opposing gems that must be seen. Rather, it is better to choose less precious stones, but with greater weight.

Two centuries of jewels with Gianni Carità




There are only a few years left, now to cross the finish line of two centuries of history: there are few jewelery companies that can boast roots as long as those of Gianni Carità, which is almost an institution in Naples. But not only in the Italian city: rings and earrings of the high jewelery brand are sold all over the world, from the United States to Japan. A story that began in 1834, when the progenitor Vincenzo Carità opened his first workshop, accrediting himself as a jeweler at the court of the Bourbons, the Spanish noble dynasty that then reigned over southern Italy.

Worn by nobles and empresses such as Queen Maria Theresa of Austria, the jewels of the Carità family gained recognition thanks to the quality of the workmanship and the choice of the most precious materials. Over the centuries, a Vincenzo Carità and a Giovanni Carità have always followed one another at the helm of the Maison. Now it is Gianni Carità who has been leading the family business since the second half of the seventies, who makes his jewels in the nearby goldsmith center Tarì di Marcianise. However, the classic style and quality have remained the same as ever.

At the altar with ititoli




Wedding rings, engagement rings, white gold rings and diamonds are the specialty of brand ititoli ♦

It is the era of specialization, even for jewelry: following this reasoning, the brand ititoli has decided to engage in one form of jewelry, the solitaire. That is, in rings with diamond that, by convention, are donated in most cases for an engagement or for special occasions. Gold (or platinum) and diamond: a simple formula, however, has also been widely used. In short, to be seen must be good.

The specialization in engagement rings and wedding also allowed to add innovative features, such as Diamond Xl, a set type which give 70% more light thanks to a special design. Diamond after diamond, to collections were later joined pendants, bracelet and earrings, but all with the classic diamond in the center.
