Utopia in Aqua

Published on September 30, 2021

Pearls are born from different shell families. But all shells have one thing in common: they live in water. The Aqua collection by Utopia is dedicated to the natural element that surrounds the shells. The idea is to use high quality freshwater pearls for designer jewelry, with a casual look. To compose the jewels, the Milanese Maison uses pearls of different sizes and with different shades of color. The combination of Akoya and Tahitian pearls thus create seductive color combinations. The collection includes sautoir, drop earrings and chocker, for a line of prêt-à-porter jewels.

The Aqua collection stands out from other proposals of the Utopia brand, such as Bouquet, which includes jewels more traditionally combined with pink sapphires or small white and champagne diamonds, to form jewels with rounded shapes. The Utopia brand is owned by Gaia, an Italian company that has been operating internationally for over 70 years in the production and distribution of high quality precious stones, diamonds and pearls, in particular South Sea Pearls.

Carrera y Carrera Taoist

Carrera y Carrera uses the sign of the Tao for the Aqua collection.
The Tao is the Way or the Path, and it is one of the main concepts of the history of Chinese thought, which is at base of Taoism. Now it is also a main road where is walking Carrera y Carrera, the Spanish jewelery company that perhaps more than any other embodies the warm tradition combined with the Iberian creativity. The collection Aqua, in fact, existed for some time.

But Carrera y Carrera has decided to infuse a more philosophical spirit although, in truth, the symbol of the Tao, which synthesizes the opposites (good and evil, black and white, man and woman, etc.), is regarded as a talisman, instead that an icon that can deserve existential reflections. What’s more, according to communicating with (irony? maybe) the Maison, the jewelry “give a powerful symbolic and a large flow of energy to its owner.” Since in the era of iPhone it’s not necessary to imagine that the jewels are arising from the world of Harry Potter, you can also appreciate these pieces in yellow gold with onyx and mother of pearl with diamonds, with many variations of gemstones also without magic powers. And maybe that’s the real magic. Lavinia Andorno

Among the patrol of Italian jewelers who moved to Las Vegas for the Jck Show there is also Talento Italiano. The Lombard brand based in Milan and Legnano presents stateside its Aqua collection. The designer, Antonio Sartori, to achieve the collection was inspired by the transparency and color of the Lagoon of Venice. He has choose, in fact, the typical Murano glass, which allows an interaction of reflection and transparency with other materials, gold, diamonds and sapphires. All in the well-established way of style of Sartori, who has the jewelry in the blood: he graduated from the Institute of Art Benvenuto Cellini Valencia and graduated in architecture at the Politecnico di Milano, with a thesis on the Golds of Taranto. He founded Talento Italiano in 1994, keeping as stylistic thread, that Italian art and the goldsmith traditions. But starting from this, he imposed a design that has nothing about ancient. Or, rather, his jewels have darting shapes, very modern. As evidenced by the Aqua collection. Lavinia Andorno
