The brand 9Venticinque is born as an offshoot of Bibigì to create collections of silver and other precious materials. This is the case of Iris collection, made in silver and cubic zirconia, which the Piedmont company offers for fall-winter 2015. With its elaborate design the jewelry line has the look of the jewelry collections that use classic materials richer, as white gold and diamonds. In short, it is one of those jewels that have a more reasonable price than you would assume at first (and even second) glance. On the other hand, the idea of Franco Beltrami, Aldo Bernardotti Guarona and Bruno, who founded the company in the now distant 1979, it’s just to offer jewelry that look good, but at a lower cost.

Roberto Demeglio born as a brand 30 years ago at the initiative of its founder, the heir to a family of jewelers for generations (since 1922, have long been the official suppliers of the Savoy royal family). But we come to Aura. The collection includes rings and bracelets in different volumes and with the use of the three classic shades of gold: yellow, pink and white. Not only. Even the pottery changes color is white or black, satin or gloss. In short, the combinations are different and interesting. And, also, the jewelry should also be comfortable to wear. The individual elements of square or rectangular shape are mounted on a spring-elastic system (protected by patent): this technology makes the jewels soft and adaptable to the different conformations of the arms and fingers. Another technology is used instead (even in this case is protected by patent) for application on the ceramic of an enveloping gold plating to 18 carats. Matilde de Bounvilles

But this ring is not the only piece that draws attention. Stalactitites also inspired by the amazing creations of the natural world. In this case, however, diamonds are sprouting like stalactites from a recess following the end of the ring in 18 carat white gold. No less sorprendenti are jewelry like ring anemone, white gold, yellow with beryllium and tzavoriti (but there are several versions): looks really they came out of the sea floor, but it’s even better than the real thing, which live perched on the rocks depth. The Fire ring, however, contains a central tanzanite, which is close to the flames of rubies and yellow sapphires. And, it’s incredible: also the figure of the serpent, used by a small army of jewelers, is new, as bracelet made of rose gold and diamonds. Giulia Netrese

Published on
Chanel lion’s roar never ends. Launched in 2012, the collection of fine jewelry Sous le signe du Lion is renewed in the classical style and aggressive shape. The collection recalls with nostalgia, the love of the founder of the fashion house, Coco Chanel, to Venice, the city in which she lived after the death of the beloved Boy Capel and where the jewels were presented at launch. Originally, the collection consisted of 58 pieces of fine jewelry. Another coincidence: the creative French was actually born under the zodiac sign of Leo.

De Vecchi, silver new life
Published on
Since 1935, De Vecchi is synonymous with silver. With a curious antithesis semantics, however, the Milan-based company is now updating (in italian language the word vecchi means old). And it is new in the classic silver objects for the home, in design, but it is traditional to quality. Now De Vecchi also offers a line of jewelry that is beautiful, modern, aggressive. On the other hand, more than a rejuvenation is a return to origins, since the company was founded by Piero De Vecchi wake of futuristic culture, which not coincidentally is born in Milan. Modernity is at home, in fact.
The new look and and the first jewels were presented in the spring (see also https://gioiellis.com/torna-largento-design-di-de-vecchi), but now debute the boutique on Via Santo Spirito, in the fashion district of Milan. They are based on sinuous, nordic, consistent design. Rings large, glittering, which are tied to with soft movements and surprising. Nice design and, above all, attractive: it is said that a smooth surface can result boredom, but not in this case. Here you do not run the risk. In addition to rings, earrings are composed of many individual pieces joined as a mesh, and a rigid necklace that looks like a sculpture, satin in half. And, then, the bronzed brass, a material that in some jewelry serves to move and warm the silver.
The different lines of jewelry have a proper name: Geometrie essenziali (Surveyors essential), as its name, prefers curves alternating with sharp edges, with large rings and substantial volumes. The line includes four rings of Intrecci Preziosi, always big, including a piece-built as an origami sculpture shiny silver. The Global Love serie is the most traditional, with big hearts in silver and bronzed brass. Again the Global Oval contrast shiny surfaces in satin, with each piece, from necklaces to bracelets, from earrings to rings, made by stitching together many small oval. Another line is named Maracas because the rings are reminiscent of the instruments of Central American music: know that hand motion produce a slight gingle. It is for those who do not want to go unnoticed. Finally: Portebonheur, that is, to good luck: a small pendant in the shape of coffee bean on top of a thin chain.
Consideration necessary: Yeah, but what if the ring or bracelet will darken, as happens in most of the jewels of silver? “Do not worry: all the pieces are treated with a refined technique that involves the use of nanoparticles of ceramic. A coating invisible protects the jewels from oxidation. Not darken, then, “says Lorenzo Traglio, CEO of De Vecchi.
Finally, the price: the rings start at 250 Euros for the simplest up to 700, while the chain with a grain of coffee costs 185 Euros. Matilde de Bounvilles

In any case, the pearl touch of modernity also means the use of two fingers rings, earcuff, wide bracelets or jewelry convertible. The top is reached, however, with the masterpieces, jewelery using large pearls and diamonds. In these images some new jewels, in addition to the traditional collections of British brand.

The mysterious faces of Villa Francesca
Published on
A ring set with precious gems embedded: a classic design that is chosen by Francesca Villa for his new collection, Le Follet. Each ring is topped by a large rock crystal cabochon cut, while the circle of metal is shiny gold, with a pink tinge. In the metal circle that houses the rock crystal are embedded rubies, amethysts, tzavoriti, sapphires and diamonds from the ancient cut rosette. But the most evocative shape are the faces of young women from a distant past that can be seen under the transparency of the stone. We can unlock the mystery: they are cut from Villa Francesca, taken from tables designed for the French magazine Le Follet: Courier des Salons, that first appeared in Paris in 1829. They are, therefore, the faces of the supermodels than a century and a half ago, portrayed with delicate strokes of ink by the illustrators of the magazine. And now they come back to life, for a new season, in the rings of the collection. For the record: in VicenzaOro we saw in action Japanese buyers very fascinated by the creation of Italian designer.
