Gender less timepiece skull with Philipp Plein

Published on February 6, 2023

A skull has no gender. In short, it can also inspire fear, but it is certainly genderless, at least as long as it is represented graphically. Starting from this principle, the new collection of Skull Genderless watches by Philipp Plein embraces fluidity, beyond the wrists of the wearer. Indeed, the model is unique, even if it is offered in three versions. It is made with a stainless steel case with a diameter of 41mm.

The version with bezel decorated with multicolored crystals, with a rainbow effect, further alludes to the world of gender fluid: the dial, decorated with a hexagonal motif, features a skull with multicolor crystals and matching indexes. Other details of the collection are the logo, the writing The Skull and the hexagonal initials PP, all engraved on the bezel. Furthermore, the pirate motif of the skull and crossbones returns to the steel bracelet. The other models are in steel, with a gold IP bezel with embossed gold studs and lettering, or with the variant with a black silicone strap, decorated with embossed skull bones and a gold metal buttonhole with studs. The gold IP bezel with raised studs and lettering houses a black dial decorated with a hexagonal motif and with a golden 3D skull in the center surrounded by indexes with crystals. Inside, the jewels mount a three-hand Miyota 203A quartz movement and are waterproof up to 5 atmospheres.

Also Bea Bongiasca, Italian, graduated with honors in Jewelery Design at Central Saint Martins in London.

Rainbow jewelry for new year

Published on January 3, 2021

A rainbow jewel with all colors: it brings joy and is also a message of hope for the next 12 months.

Forget the simple touch of color: rainbow jewelery is in fashion, even in high jewelery. Rainbow jewels can be composed of precious stones, such as sapphires, emeralds and rubies, but more easily with semi-precious gems, such as citrines, amethysts, rhodolites, red garnets, blue topazes, peridots, iolites … For Arlène Bonnant of Caspita, the high jewelery maison of Geneva, the rainbow is above all oriental exoticism or esotericism with the Chakra collection composed of colorless diamonds and colored enamels.

The rainbow is also the worldwide symbol of the LGBT community, but not only. The colors of the rainbow are part of popular legends and traditions from all over the world. For example, the rainbow even appears in the Bible: according to the holy book, after the great flood, God sent a rainbow to Noah to promise that he would never again flood the earth. The rainbow is also present in a concept of Tibetan Buddhism, while in Indian mythology it is the arch of Indra, the god of lightning and thunder, and in Greek mythology, it was considered an atmospheric phenomenon linked to the deities, a path between earth and paradise.

In Chinese mythology the rainbow was a crack in the sky closed by the goddess Nüwa with stones of seven different colors and in the ancient legends of the European countries of the deep north a rainbow called Bifrǫst Bridge which connects the kingdoms of Ásgarðr and Miðgarðr, abodes of the deities and of humans. Finally, how can we forget that in Irish mythology, but also in Sardinia, tradition has it that at the end of a rainbow there is a pot of gold coins. Or, who knows, a rainbow jewel.

In jewelry, however, rainbow jewels are typically rings, necklaces, bracelets or earrings that are preferably worn during the day. In addition, jewels with all shades of the iris stand out better with dresses of a single color, while on patterned fabrics, for example with flowers, they risk being confused with the design of the dress. Finally, the rainbow jewels can be worn indifferently on a light or dark skin of the face or hands.

Spectrum Shine, the rainbow by Swarovski

Published on June 29, 2020

COLLANE//Rings

A rainbow for the summer, sparkling like Swarovski crystals. In fact, it is a rainbow made up of crystals from the Austrian company: the Spectrum Shine jewelry line incorporates the entire range of colors on its jewels. The Spectrum Shine line thus joins the tropical trend that has almost monopolized the creativity of the Maison for spring-summer 2020 and which we have talked about on other page of this site. The jewelry in question uses simple rhodium-plated metal, which gives the surface a bright patina. The crystals are consistent with the source of inspiration, the rainbow, and are therefore very colorful.

The Spectrum Shine line includes a rivière-type necklace (the most expensive piece: 449 euros) which features numerous faceted Clear Crystals from Swarovski, of different sizes to scale, earrings, two pins and rings. Among the proposals there is also a set of two rings that can be worn simultaneously, or individually. There is also a ring to be worn on three fingers.
