The eccentric world of Cassandre

Chatelherault Hunt Paisley Ring. Prezzo: 795 euro

She’s named Cassandre Malherbe. She is Belgian, but was conceived in California, was born and raised in Monaco as a “Rockstar Motocross World”, she explains. She is a designer who draws her inspiration from different environments: horse riding, from her hometown, from vintage jewelry to her mother, from travels, the nightlife of Paris, but also from Catholic upbringing. She spent her adolescence between studies and travels in Europe with her horse, coach and equipment, to participate in competitive riding for the Belgian national team. An ability that has led her to win a silver medal at the European Championships held in the Czech Republic Leaving Monaco, 17 years Cassandre moved to Paris to study art, entertainment, politics and international relations. An eclectic woman: “I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I knew exactly what kind of person I wanted to be”, she explains now.

Her first encounter with the work led her to take care of press relations for a brand of fashion and, later, to make the buyers to Paris for the most prestigious department stores in the U.S.. But it was not her destiny. “I’ve never been thrilled to work for others and I thought it was a waste of time, but in reality that’s how I learned it all”. Her way was, however, become a jewelry designer. A type of fine jewelry simple, but valuable. “You will never see pink gold, pink stones, skulls, snakes or something gold plated in my collections. Propose commercial pieces is very important, but I think you should stay true to what you like”, she adds. The world of Cassandre Malherbe has instead the goal of establishing a strong identity and give up the trend of the moment. The designer describes her jewelry as “timeless, elegant, solid gold pieces produced in very small quantities, aimed at women who choose uniqueness. Each collection explores a different theme, but all the pieces have their own distinctive character, but also a strong DNA in common”, continues Cassandre. “Who can afford wearing my jewelry pieces strong and flashy, but not to worry. My pieces are made to be worn while scuba diving in the Atlantic, while you make love, or skiing in the Swiss Alps. The moment you start being careful not to scratch a jewel, or keep it in a safe, means that do not have it, but that he owns you”.

The high fashion, sometimes, is a bit ‘quirky, and extends increasingly the brand in the jewelry business: among the big names that have made the plunge is also Maison Margiela. The former Maison Martin Margiela is a luxury brand founded in 1988 by Belgian designer, who gave his name to the brand. Today is part of the Italian group Diesel. Known as signature avant-garde, with a preference for deconstructed garments, from October 2014 Maison Margiela is led by John Galliano, creative director. But, as mentioned, by time it is also active in jewelery, of course with a style consistent with that used in the clothing. You can find rings that seem to come directly from a crucible or, on the contrary, pieces as double rings, with disarmingly linearity, but actually with curves studied carefully. Brass or gold, crystals or diamonds does not matter the material they are made of the jewels of the Maison, but the design that stands out in its complicated simplicity. Here is a selection of jewelry offered by the brand, including the new line Anamorphose. Margherita Donato

The diamond necklace signed by Van Cleef & Arpels in 1939 and belonged to Queen Nazli of Egypt was sold at Sotheby’s for $ 4.3 million. In all, the sale of Magnificent Jewels in New York totaled 52.2 million dollars. The Queen’s necklace was, however, the piece that has attracted more attention.

The jewel is made up of diamonds for 217 carats. At the center there is a round diamond larger, 6 carats, with 118 large round diamonds weighing approximately 134 carats, surrounded by other smaller diamonds baguette-cut and brilliant. Another highlight of the day was to a platinum ring, sapphires and diamonds, sold for 5.1 million dollars. In this case the price has surpassed the estimate (3.5 to 4.5 million). The ring has a sugar loaf sapphire, weighing 25.87 carats in the center, with two diamonds on each side, mounted in platinum.

It has an emerald cut diamond of 38.27 carats, flanked by tapered baguette diamonds weighing approximately 1.25 carats. The year for jewelry at Sotheby’s seems to have ended well. Federico Graglia
