The classic silver of Bottega Boccadamo

///

Boccadamo launches Bottega Boccadamo, a brand for handcrafted silver jewelery ♦

Boccadamo doubles. The quality silver jewelry brand launches Bottega Boccadamo, a line of jewelry that enhances craftsmanship. The idea is to be inspired by the classical world, to the canons of the Renaissance for beauty is perfection, beauty, harmony of proportions. And with the aim of introducing a sensual chic brand.

Bottega Boccadamo is a personal return to my origins. To my first love, to my true great passion. And the origins refer to the primordial, to what it is, because it has always been.
Tonino Boccadamo

The fervent imagination of the founder, Tonino Boccadamo, also chose a logo that recalls classicism: a stylization of the goddess Minerva, an ancient Roman divinity who, among other things, was the protector of the artisans. After all, Boccadamo is based in Lazio, the region where Rome is located.

Guidelines for the jewels are the attention to detail and the precision with which the burnished silver is worked, which is transformed into sculpture-jewelry, which reproduce nature in detail, thanks to the use of the lost wax casting technique. Another particular aspect of jewels is the use of color. The characteristic antiqued appearance of burnished silver acquires a chromatic touch through real brushstrokes, also made by hand, with micro painting, an innovative technique that allows you to work silver like a canvas, with realistic shades and meticulous details. Another novelty is the use together of burnished silver and rose gold plated in the same jewel, with two different colors of the same metal. Here, for example, is the Lilium line, which obviously has the flower as its subject, with the additional touch of natural pearls and hand-painted color.

A crocodile for Giovanni Raspini

The texture of crocodile skin in a new collection of silver jewelry signed Giovanni Raspini ♦ ︎

The animal terrifies anyone when the beast is in an African river or in the Florida swamps. But when it is transformed or, more precisely, forced to turn into bags, shoes and belts, the crocodile is also appreciated by humans. The scaly skin of the reptile, in fact, properly worked has always been considered a luxury in the fashion world. But also jewels.

In this case, however, true crocodiles can sleep quiet dreams, since their thick skin is only evoked. As in the case of the Coccodrillo collection by Giovanni Raspini, which refers to one of the classic themes of the brand, offering a luminous jewel, made in electroforming. The textures of the crocodile skin integrate with the simple elegance of the non-burnished tubular elements, giving life to a play of reflections. The collection is offered in two versions, in silver and gilded silver, and includes three necklaces, three bracelets, six earrings and two rings. Prices: a Crocodile ring costs from 125 (mini version) to 170 euros. The Crocodile light necklace 580 euros, earrings 125 or 160 euros. Lavinia Andorno

The Reptilis by Pianegonda

By Pianegonda the Reptilis collection, which reproduces in silver the scaly skin of snakes ♦ ︎

Who knows why reptiles are generally considered dangerous, treacherous and slimy animals. The same animals, such as snakes and crocodiles, are instead sought after in fashion and jewelry. Or rather, the scaly skins of the creeping oviparous become bags and shoes to the great satisfaction of women. The same women that, at the sight of a snake, would try to increase the distance that separates them from the animal. The same goes for jewels: reptiles are worn with pleasure when they become gold or silver.

Pianegonda, a brand of the Bros Manifatture group, knows this predilection and has transformed it into the Reptilis collection. Earrings, bracelet, necklace and ring are in 925 silver with the surface that presents the reproduction of the classic scales that distinguish the skin of reptiles. Prices range from 149 euros for a pair of earrings, up to 499 euros for the adjustable necklace and 349 for the rigid bracelet. Lavinia Andorno

Jewelry and allergy





Do you have jewelry that causes skin allergy or irritation? Here’s how to solve your problem and avoid a nickel allergy ♦

Some argue that allergies are on the rise. As for jewels, unfortunately, they have always been a problem. The reason is simple: there are metals that cause allergic reactions when in contact with the skin. But there are also less dangerous metals for allergy sufferers, such as gold or steel.

Also read: How to avoid nickel allergies 

This is why allergy sufferers choose gold jewelry. The yellow metal, in fact, is hypoallergenic, that is it rarely causes reactions in contact with the skin. But then, why does it also happen who wears a gold jewel to suffer from redness or irritation on the part of the body in contact with earrings, bracelets or necklaces?

Come evitare allergie e vivere felici
Come evitare allergie e vivere felici

Irritation caused by jewellery: this is an allergic reaction called contact dermatitis and is caused when pure gold is not used. It is a problem that, according to some calculations, affects 10% of women. This metal, in its natural state (24 carats) is too soft and deforms easily. For this reason, jewelers have linked it together with other metals, such as nickel. In this way the gold jewel becomes more resistant. In Europe, however, for over 20 years now the EU has issued a directive, which has become law in the adhering countries, which drastically reduces the use of nickel in jewellery. Nickel, however, continues to be present in jewelry made before the new rules. In Italy, for example, the use of nickel must not only be within the limits of the law, but also indicated on the label.

Orecchino con allergia
Orecchino con allergia

However, nickel isn’t the only metal alloyed in jewelry that can cause an allergy. In fact, it must be remembered that all 18, 14 or 9 carat gold jewels are alloyed with other metals. 18-karat gold, for example, means that out of 10 grams of metal, only 7.5 are pure gold, while at 14-karat this drops to around 50%.

How to avoid allergies. How to avoid nickel allergy? The first answer is obvious: if you buy a vintage jewel, ask the jeweler if the metal alloy of the jewel contains nickel.

If you already have jewelry at home that causes skin irritation or allergies, a simple trick is to use nail polish: brushed on the jewelry will avoid contact of the metal with the skin. You have to use the transparent one, of course. This system doesn’t work well with chain necklaces, but it can solve the problem with a ring or bracelet. Just cover the inside of the jewel, the one in contact with the skin, with the enamel. This prevents the nickel from coming into contact with the skin of the hands or wrist. Naturally it is necessary to verify over time that the enamel is not consumed with the use of the jewel.

Gioielleria di Ponte Vecchio, a Firenze
Gioielleria di Ponte Vecchio, a Firenze

Other metals. Another, more expensive way to avoid allergies is to choose platinum or titanium jewelry, two hypoallergenic metals. Copper, recommended by many, is certainly not a real alternative to gold: not only does it not have the same luster (even if it costs much less), but when in contact with sweat, it can ruin and dye the skin. Even silver, as long as it is sterling (92.5% pure) is often tolerated by those who have a nickel allergy, but must be constantly cleaned to prevent blackening.

The Lux by Gala Rotelli

Gala Rotelli’s new jewels, inspired by light and the art world ♦ ︎

Gala Rotelli, a young designer from Milan, with a passion for architecture, painting and jewelry, lights a light on her new collection. What is called, precisely, Lux Lucis, words that mean light lights in Latin. Understanding: jewels that shine, that send flashes, that attract glances. But also, for the designer, a more introspective meaning: “The light hidden inside each of us, that little flame that allows us to dream every night before closing our eyes”.

The collection is in 925 rhodium silver and 24 carat gold plated bronze. And, as always, it is also inspired by the world of art and design, from Van Gogh to Magritte: details of works by the great painters who turn into jewels: “Light has always interested me because of its ability to change in relation to the materials he meets. It reflects on mirrored materials such as metal, is refracted with glass. Furthermore, my father is an artist and he often creates light installations so in a certain sense he has always been in my DNA, but I like above all to think of light as an inner light, which each of us possesses and which
represents a dream, a talent, an idea ”, explains the designer, who decided to present the collection together with two other brands in the fashion world, Luce Studio and TPF Milan.
“For me design is, in every area, from jewelery to the product, to clothing,” explains Gala.

Pandora O pendant, inspired by the vocal letter in the middle of the Danish brand name ♦

Or like Pandora. The circle, the letter O, is the synthetic name of a novelty of the Danish brand. It is a pendant called Pandora O, where the vowel is the one found in the middle of the accessible jewelry company logo. In short, you can almost be called it Pandooora, to accentuate the concept.

Pendenti Pandora O

Pandora O is made in the three materials chosen by the house: 925 Sterling silver, Pandora Shine (meaning yellow gold-plated silver) and Pandora Rose (a metal alloy with a 14k rose gold plating), and is distinguished by a snake chain. The pendant has the shape, of course, of an O. The raised heart on the back of the closure with sphere allows a simple opening: by pressing it you can add charms and pendants. The pendant is available in three sizes: the 925 Sterling Silver version is available in small, medium and large sizes, while the Pandora Shine and Pandora Rose versions are available in small and medium sizes. Small, medium and large pendants can contain three, five and seven charms respectively.

Elena Braccini’s rings with animals

Elena Braccini, Florentine bijoux designer, proposes a series of rings and earrings with the shape of animals ♦

In Italy Elena Braccini is known above all for being the former partner of a famous former Argentine footballer, Daniel Osvaldo. After the striker separated from the soccer fields and from her, from which he also had two children, Elena Braccini cultivated another love: that of jewelry. Simple jewels, in silver, sometimes with gilding, but conceived with passion.

Anello cervo in argento
Anello cervo in argento

Returning to Florence after the Roman period with Osvaldo, the designer also felt a religious spirit that, perhaps, comforted her in the difficult period following the separation. Often, therefore, the jewels he proposes have a double meaning, ornamental and religious, like the medallions engraved with the figure of the Madonna. The Deep Soul collection, for example, is made up of a series of animal-shaped rings. But which, according to the designer, are also symbols of others, like the elephant sacred to Buddhism, but which also occurs in the narratives of Christians. Margherita Donato

Two bracelets composed of the same elements cost 36 euros instead.
The collection is completed by a third necklace, a choker in which the chain continues the game of asymmetry with a sequence that is divided between the chain and the cultured pearls accented by the touch of the star-shaped pendant. The bracelet is half of the cultured pearls and half of rosé 925 silver mesh with the star in the middle (36 euros).

Infinite Lotus





Silver earrings, necklace and bracelet for the Mystic mini collection by Lotus ♦ ︎

To infinity and beyond. In the end, it’s not only the dream of Buzz Lightyear, but also that of many girls, at least the most romantic ones, who want a story that never ends. This is why the sign of infinity, in the shape of an 8 that sleeps, is so popular in jewelry of all kinds, from what it costs like a mortgage to buy a house, to the one that can be bought for a few dozen euros.

Orecchini in argento Mystic

This is the case, for example, of the Mystic collection by Lotus, a brand of the Festina group. Here the sign of the infinite also extends to the world of spirituality, judging by the name of the collection. But it is likely that potential customers will not dwell too much on the philosophical aspect of the concept of infinity. The mini collection is not infinite, though: it consists of three pieces, the classic earrings, bracelet and necklace. All in silver, they are marked by the mathematical symbol of the infinite, but in the necklace also appears a circular pendant with Love written. The concept is clear.

Half a century of enamels with Gabriella Rivalta





Gabriella Rivalta’s hand-painted jewels with colored enamel on gold or silver turn 50 years ♦ ︎

Laughing and brushing have passed 50. On the other hand, when you work and have fun, when you are creative, when you live in an environment of your own, time passes quickly. It was 1969 when the young Gabriella Rivalta decided to dedicate herself body and soul to painting. But instead of canvas she chose metal, gold. And instead of tempera or oil colors, she opted for enamels.

Of course, it is not easy to paint many jewels by hand, one by one. But this is what this small atelier does in an ancient farmhouse building in Casale Monferrato, deep in Piedmont.

Pendente Gatto Persiano Grigio
Pendente Gatto Persiano Grigio

A completely peaceful place, out of time just like Gabriella Rivalta’s illuminated gold jewels: pendants, bracelets, necklaces that have nature as their main subject, but not only. For jewels of an explicitly romantic nature, which seems to have come directly from a century ago, the little Maison has over time added even more modern pieces, but always characterized by hand finishing, which makes the jewels different from one another. Prices: the bracelets with leather lace and painted silver pendants start at around 250 euros, up to the coordinated necklace and earrings set in 18-carat gold, hand-painted pink with high-fire enamels, pearls and central ruby, which reaches 1790 euros.
