Flower shaped jewelry

Jewels and flowers: an eternal bond, but that each jeweler interprets in his own way. Here are the jewels of flower power ♦
The link between flowers and jewelry is longstanding: flower power in jewelry is not a new discovery, as happens now in fashion. Maybe because petals and pistils are a source of inspiration, they do not set limits to the imagination, to the use of colors and shapes. A real godsend for any creative, insomuch as every year the floral theme is one of the coolest trends. In short, it never goes out of fashion and with a good reason, because often the results are amazing. Some examples: the collection of fine jewelry Secret Garden by Faberge, a triumph of precious stones surrounded by leaves of carved jade, that look like a bouquet of flowers.

Or the corolla collier by Pasquale Bruni, a soft lawn buds, in white diamonds and morganite. The ring Lily of the Masterpieces collection by Damiani There is also a branch of a cherry tree, a pink explosion that wraps around the finger with the opened ring by Moorphée Joaillerie or the intricate and climbing bracelet-ring by Wendy Yue.

And, yet, the Tree of Life in the earrings by Annushka, the fleshy orchid by Carrera y Carrera and the delicate one by Autore. All pieces of the highest craftsmanship. But if you want something more simple as a shepe but the same high-impact, Asprey now proposes its classic brand icon, Heritage Daisy stud earrings  with petals that fade in the diamonds pistil.

Art deco peridot for Annoushka

/




The birthstone of August is peridot (see also: All about the peridot). Probably for this reason the British designer Annoushka Ducas has chosen the summer month to present her new collection that uses, of course, the peridot. The collection was created in collaboration with Fuli Gemstones, a Chinese mining company, which holds the mining license for a large and rich peridot mine in the Changbai mountains, China. The gems of this mine have a particularly intense and pleasant color.

Anello Radiance in oro 18 carati, peridoto, zaffiri rosa, malachite. Il gioiello si può trasformare in pendente staccando la parte superiore dal cerchio dell'anello

The result of the agreement with Annoushka is the Radiance collection, inspired by the Art Deco style, that is, with very marked geometries, intense colors, frames, well-defined corners. Alongside the peridot, the designer used pink and malachite sapphires, mounted on recycled 18-karat gold. The ring of the series has a peculiarity: the upper part detaches from the stem and can become a pendant to be attached to the necklace. The collection also includes earrings, even these decomposable: they can be worn as pendants, or simply buttoned.

The chameleon rings of Annoushka Ducas





A chameleon ring. A jewel that, like the animal capable of changing color and manages to change its appearance. The idea is from Annoushka Ducas, a London designer of high-end jewelry, who has launched a series of rings inspired by the chameleon: they can change color or, better, the precious stone. Indeed, Annoushka has dedicated a collection to the chameleon that he already proposed ten years ago, offering customers to customize the jewel. But the new Chameleon line adds special rings.

Anelli Chameleon con zaffiro intercambiabile, oro 18 carati

The rings have the shape of a chameleon and can change color thanks to the precious stones in four different interchangeable shades. The stones can be easily removed and reinserted into the chameleon’s head. The three new versions of the chameleon-shaped ring that embraces the finger, use stones such as tiger’s eye, black onyx, lapis lazuli and malachite, while the sapphire ring is combined with smoky quartz, olive green quartz, citrine and amethyst. Replacement rings are also purchased with the ring.

The pendants from the Seed collection of the British designer Annoushka Ducas ♦ ︎

To each his amulet. There are those who chose to those typical of its culture, its region, its customs. And who turns the good luck charm or, if you prefer, against bad luck, in jewelry. Indeed, the jewels during the dawn of humanity had above all this function. If you then think that the amulets will save you if you cross the street with the red light, decide it yourself.

Surely the amulets that become jewels can be very pleasant, like those of the Mythology collection of Annoushka.

Annoushka and the vampire’s wife

A gothic collection of Annoushka inspired by the songs of Nick Cave ♦ ︎
Vampire teeth, an electric chair, a gun. All in gold and precious stones. No, it’s not a television series called Nightmare Jewels. Indeed, The Charm collection by Annoushka Ducas, one of the most interesting and appreciated London designers, is truly original. The new gothic pendants are, in fact, the result of a collaboration between Annoushka Ducas and former model Susie Cave, co-founder of The Vampire’s Wife, a fashion house that is the new discovery for a certain London world and it’s a favorite of Londoners insiders. She was Susie who asked Annoushka to design a bracelet, but the essential thing is that the theme of the collection is taken from the verses of Australian singer-songwriter and actor Nick Cave, the fashion designer’s husband. And so, then, the charms designed by Annoushka with a noir spirit. Obviously the effect is the opposite: irony, smile, surprise. Prices for individual pendants under £ 2,000. Lavinia Andorno

Gioielli show con la legge del caos

[wzslider]Il bello della legge del caos: secondo gli esperti di Professional Jeweller, c’è una crescente tendenza tra i designer di gioielli a unire pietre preziose e metalli insieme in un modo apparentemente casuale. Ma, d’altra parte, è difficile distinguere quando il gioiello è progettato con un preciso ordine delle pietre. Spesso, come dimostrano le immagini, anche i disegni più geometrici sembrano obbedire alla legge del caos. Ma il risultato, quando si parla di alta gioielleria, è spesso entusiasmante. I pezzi creati da Bulgari o Dior, ma anche De Beers, Fabergé, Fernando Jorge, V Gioielli e Mabel Hasell  sono diversi modi di cercare un equilibrio tra oro e gemme, ognuno con un suo modo di intendere il mix metallo-pietre.
