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.

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.

Pandora goes to the wedding





Pandora charms to wear for special occasions, like weddings ♦ ︎

Pandora also for marriage? Well, maybe for witnesses, guests, madam girls, friends … Think of them the wedding charms by Pandora, made of 925 Sterling silver, which symbolizes the deep bond that unites two spouses. For exemple, the Couple in Love pendant, to make every anniversary special, decorated with enamel and Love of my life engraving.

Pandora, charm Sposi

In short, the idea of the Danish brand is to offer jewelry for everyone for special occasions, such as an invitation to the wedding ceremony. Another example: the Damsel Perfect charm is designed for bridesmaids, with a purple ribbon and the Bridesmaid engraving, if given (39 euros), to say thanks to the damsel, which helps the bride on an important day. The Cuore di nozze charm, on the other hand, is two-tone, with a touch of yellow gold and cubic zirconia: it costs 89 euros. Lavinia Andorno

The bijoux in the Scrigno d’Amore collection by Morellato: silver and cubic zirconia with a pinch of secret ♦ ︎

A treasure chest always keeps something precious. The exception is when something precious is held in a treasure chest. The overturning is the work of Morellato, which for 2019 proposes the Scrigno d’Amore collection. There are not, however, armored boxes to hang around the neck, but bijoux with super affordable price (59 and 89 euros) that allude to jewelry surprises.
The mystery of the treasure chest is immediately revealed. Necklaces with pendant or bracelets have charms in the shape of keys or circles that enclose the silhouette of a precious stone, a crown, a snake, the tree of life or a heart.

Tennis for Morellato

/




Morellato’s silver and cubic zirconia tennis bracelets at an affordable price ♦ ︎

Tennis bracelets have always had the charm of jewelery combined not only with the sport from which they take their name, but also with the ease of use. In short, tennis bracelets are comfortable, simple to wear and adapt to the shape of the wrist. All qualities that derive from its history.

Read here the story of how the tennis bracelet was invented.

Bracciale tennis con cuore
Bracciale tennis con cuore

In short, the tennis bracelet boasts many qualities. But also a flaw: it is usually expensive. A white gold and diamond bracelet is not available to anyone. For this reason tennis bracelets are also available at a very affordable price, such as those in the Tesori di Morellato collection. The bracelets are in 925 ‰ silver and instead of diamonds they use cubic zirconia, stones mounted in rivière, that is, to climb, either in the classic version or with a heart or central star. The prices are very far from those of the luxury versions: 79 euros or 89 euros with star and heart. Lavinia Andorno

Rosato’s Messages

//




The Messaggi collection, by Rosato, made of silver, cubic zirconia and many natural stones. Find out what are they ♦ ︎

Messages without words. Messages to guess. Messages that is who ricieve that must fill it. We could go on and on and on to play about the name of a collection. Let’s face it: it often happens that the name of a series of jewels is a puzzle, a riddle, an enigma. Perhaps it is because companies that want to name their jewels (but not all do) are trying to find something evocative. Like the word Messaggi, which also indicates a collection signed by Rosato, a brand of the Bros Manifatture group.

Anello in argento con agata lace cabochon e zirconi bianchi

What is the message or, in the plural, the messages, it is not known. It is not, in fact, a line of those jewels that have engraved a name, a date, a sentence. Or a message, indeed. No, in this case the collection includes a series of bracelets and rings made of silver, cubic zirconia and natural stones, such as malachite, aventurine, carnelian, lapis lazuli, amethyst, rhodonite, amazonite, rose quartz, mother of pearl, agate. Perhaps in this variety lies the message: the world offers so many possibilities. Lavinia Andorno

Gold and foreign stones targeted by the US government

US squeeze on the import of stones and jewelry: it could have a huge impact on the gold industry ♦

Export alarm for Italian, French, Spanish, Indian, Chinese suppliers and jewelers … In short, for everyone. The siren at full volume and the flashing red light lit up after the news, bounced from the USA, of a meeting between the representatives of New York of the State Department of the United States with some great jewelery operators. There are no official statements at the moment, but it is good to take note of what is unofficially whispered.

In essence, the United States would have decided to request greater traceability by origin or origin of each item of jewelry imported into the United States, including gold, diamonds and precious stones.

Diamanti taglio brillante
Diamanti taglio brillante

No component, according to what would have been said, is excluded. Official objective: to combat money laundering and trade in gold and stones that are not ethically correct, ie useful for subsidizing criminal or terrorist activities. In the viewfinder there is, in particular, the Kimberley Process, a system designed to control the licit origin of diamonds.
Gioielli a OroArezzo
Gioielli a OroArezzo

But there are also those who think that the greatest severity translates actually in a wall against imports. The controls, in short, would end up reducing the volume of jewels or elements such as chains, closures and imported stones, given that many jewelers will not have the tools to accurately certify every single element of a jewel. According to early comments, anonymous, by US jewelers, the measure will have “a huge” impact on the jewelry industry.

In the meantime, suppliers and jewelers were however invited to follow the Clean Diamond Act, the World Diamond Council’s System of Warranties and the Kimberly Process. Federico Graglia

A Zyp for women by Tirisi

//





The Zyp collection by Tirisi: thus the hinge turns into a luxury jewel (but accessible) ♦ ︎

The idea of turning zips into jewels was introduced in 1938 by Van Cleef & Arpels, on input from the Duchess of Windsor. Many years have passed, but now here is a modern version of the same idea: to transform a useful accessory into a jewel. This time, however, it was proposed by the Dutch fashion house Tirisi, who presented the Zyp collection at Baselworld. It is a jewel, explain to Tirisi, studied for dynamic, fashion-conscious women, full of activity.

Zyp is obviously based on the movement of a hinge. The necklace moves up and down, just like a real zip fastener.

But the rounded finish makes it clear that it is a jewel. Making the jewelry, however, is not easy. The managing director and design manager of Tirisi, Natascha Rotstein-Zuchouwski, thought about it for a few years: the idea was to develop the Zyp in a way that would fit like a piece of high-end jewelery, without confusing it with a simple closure. After three years of research, the brand has found a way to find the right balance between usability, aesthetics and quality standards.

The Zyp collection includes a range of rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. The necklaces are available in three different versions: sterling silver combined with 18-carat pink gold and marcasite, sterling silver combined with 18-carat pink gold and diamonds and 18-carat solid gold with diamond. Matching rings, bracelets and earrings play with the same theme as the zipper, but in a very feminine and sophisticated way. Prices for Zyp necklaces start at 795 euros. Lavinia Andorno

Pandora adds Dumbo to the silver pantheon of Disney characters ♦ ︎

An elephant in the neck. Or on your wrist, you do. Pandora, in the wake of the film Dumbo, launches charms to be added to bracelets and necklaces inspired by the sad story of the flying elephant.

Giovanni Raspini with Paillettes

The Paillettes collection by Giovanni Raspini: silver to offer a moment of lightness ♦

Sequins, or paillettes in lingua francese, are associated with parties, moments of fun, frivolity. Therefore, it’s ok combine sequins with wearable jewels, perhaps for those moments of leisure. Light, bright, brilliant: the sequins are also the protagonists of the silver collection signed by the Maison of Florence Giovanni Raspini.

The Paillettes collection is composed of jewels that use the shape of small ovals, those that make up sequins, as a pattern.

The small silver lenticular elements do not form figures, but are scattered irregularly on the jewel, even with different dimensions. The jewels are in silver, entirely handmade by means of lost wax casting, with a design that is attentive to wearability. A pendant, a necklace, two bracelets, two earrings and two rings were made.

Kitchen jewels

Silver jewelry in the shape of kitchen utensils: this is the idea of Cooked Jewelry ♦ ︎

If you like cooking, you don’t miss an episode of Master Chef and look for cooking tutorials on YouTube, Cooked Jewelry jewels are for you. They are not precious jewels, but they are fun. They are discovered by New York Times and, for now, they are few. The idea is of a young, Chuck Key, known as Boomie, who uses sterling silver to make cleaver-shaped pendants, earrings with the design of chef’s knives, small pans, or the tool to beat egg white and yolk. They are the fruit of two experiences: Chuck’s father, Martin Key, is an award-winning gemstone designer, while Chuck worked in a restaurant, where the idea of kitchen jewels was born.
Jewels cost a few dollars and are presented on a background of butcher’s paper. In short, a right package to stay in the gastronomic theme.

Pesavento’s light springtime

////





The Dna Spring collection by Pesavento has been enriched with three new pieces. Images and prices ♦ ︎

Even though it was presented in the fall, there is no better time than spring to talk about Pesavento’s Dna Spring collection. But this is a limited edition creative interpretation of classic collection by Maison in Vicenza, which is specializing in creative silver jewelry. Because, in fact, Pesavento’s production stands out from the common jewelery that uses white metal. This is evidenced, for example, by the three limited-edition pieces that are added to the Dna Spring collection.

The light Dna Verve wire is used with a special memory effect processing, which adds great flexibility to the jewel. It opens, slips in, and returns to its original shape.

The new jewels from the Sogni collection by Rosato: bows and symbols in silver with some natural stones ♦ ︎

Some have studied dreams scientifically, such as Sigmund Freud, some use them as premonitions to play the lottery, and there are those who fear them and those who love them. In short, nobody can do without dreaming, even with open eyes. And if the dream turns into a collection of jewelry is not the first time and will not be the last. The Sogni di Rosato collection, brand of the Bros Manifatture group, is made of silver and reproduces bows, words, symbols, now renewed with other pieces that are added to those already present.

Next to the typical pendants of the Maison, Sogni offers necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets.

The Panthers by Giovanni Raspini

Giovanni Raspini’s panthers: silver becomes a shining sculpture ♦ ︎

Sometimes the jewels roar. The big cats, in fact, are among the favorite subjects of designers, artisans or big Maison. Difficult to escape the charm of the big cats that live in wild spaces and hunt the prey with an innate elegance. Giovanni Raspini is also part of this group of admirers.

The Tuscan Maison, in fact, launches the Panthera collection: jewels that focus on the sculptural aspect of the jewel.

It is not the first animal that becomes the subject of a collection of the brand specializing in silver jewelry. But unlike other animal jewelry, made of burnished silver, Panthera offers a hand-hammered tubular element on which a completely smooth and shiny silver-plated feline lies. A dazzling white, in short, to emphasize the lines of the feline. The contrast between the support and the reproduced animal is of great impact. The Panthera collection is offered with a necklace, a pendant, three bracelets, and an earring.

The single-use jewelry by Francesca Amfitheatrof

//





The first collection of the Francesca Amfitheatrof brand is called Tag, with jewels that can no longer be removed ♦ ︎

The news has shaken the world of jewelry and, to tell the truth, has left more than one expert perplexed. Francesca Amfitheatrof, who has been a jewelry designer for Louis Vuitton for about a year, starts with her own jewelery brand. In short, his role in the French group did not last long. As far as we know, the brand will have an unusual name: Thief and Heist (but in jargon it can mean also charging someone on his shoulders), with commercial activity starting from March 2019.

Francesca Amfitheatrof’s jewels will be directed to a vast audience. In short, no high jewelry.

Francesca Amfitheatrof
Francesca Amfitheatrof

The designer’s first collection will be sold online on Thiefandheist.co. The name of the line is Tag. The jewelry is now only visible on Instagram and are very minimal: a nylon strap with a silver clasp, an object similar to those bands that are used by electricians to gather the cables. The band will be available in white or black, but the most strange aspect is that, just like the industrial bands, to remove the jewel you need to cut the band. The designer defines this aspect as “fun”. But, in short, at least pay attention not to tighten it too much. This disposable cuff should cost around $ 125. “I really wanted to create something that no one has ever seen before. The industry could use a little shaking up “, commented Francesca Amfitheatrof.

The designer before the hit-and-run by Louis Vuitton was the design director of Tiffany & Co from 2013 to 2017. Francesca Amfitheatrof has however started as a designer of jewelry and silverware. His projects have been sold internationally and also exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Colette in Paris. The designer has also developed jewelery for brands such as Chanel, Fendi and Marni. In addition, she has been an art consultant, curator and consultant for important collections and individuals. She graduated from the Royal College of Art, Central Saint Martins and Chelsea Art School. Now a new life begins. Giulia Netrese

Seven other Doni (gifts) by Tuum

//

The bracelets of the Dono series by Tuum: jewelry inspired by spirituality knows no crisis ♦ ︎

The religious-themed jewelry is one of the inexhaustible strands, insensitive to fashions or crises. This is demonstrated by the path of Tuum, an Italian company that offers jewelry inspired by the topic of the Christian religion. Concepts, values and prayers are the inspiring motif of Tuum’s collections and individual pieces. Last in order of time is the Dono bracelet, which manages to combine spirituality “with a jewel with a touch of glamor”. It is a bracelet in rhodium-plated silver beads.

In addition to the silver balls there is the Dono pendant. In fact, there are seven, at your option.

Tuum, bracciale in argento Fortitudo con topazio rosa
Tuum, bracciale in argento Fortitudo con topazio rosa

The seven gifts are expressed in Latin and, in alphabetical order, they are consilium, fortitudo, intellectus, pietas, sapientia, scientia, timor domini. These words are engraved along the circumference of the medals, in two versions: with Flore, that is with a shape in the shape of a flower dug in the middle, or with a heart in the center of which is a peach-colored topaz with a heart-shaped cut. The size of the bracelet is unique, but adjustable. The price is starting from 119 euros. The last bracelets are the latest in the collection, which includes three different types of jewelry. To underline the link with spirituality, bracelets are on sale in the two single-brand stores in the historic centers of Assisi and Rome, as well as in Italian and online jewelers. Lavinia Andorno

Skulls for Valentine’s Day with Skullsh * t

Skulls for Valentine’s Day with the silver collection of Skullsh * t: an idea without doubt original ♦ ︎

Let’s face it now: more than rebel the name of this brand, Skullsh * t, is a big shrewd. In a positive sense, mind you. The brand is the result of the inexhaustible imagination of Diffusione Orologi, the company based in the goldsmith center of Tarì in Caserta. The Giglio family that owns the brand, for example, is the same one that successfully launched the Opsobjects brand. Skullsh * t is aimed at a different audience, rock lovers call them the parent company. Or perhaps they are simply young people who do not like traditional jewelry and prefer a more aggressive style.

For example, Skullsh * t for Valentine’s Day proposes rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings in 925 silver. Indicative price: from 40 to 100 euros approx.

It is not difficult to guess: the element that occurs in the collection is the skull. A truly original idea when compared to the deluge of hearts that characterize the jewels dedicated to the party of lovers. A skull that comes from the bottom of the heart, after all, can also suggest the idea of eternity … Lavinia Andorno

New collection of Charriol for Valentine’s Day: dedicated to mad love ♦ ︎

After the bracelets with the inscription Loved, the Swiss brand Charriol still aims at Valentine’s Day 2019 with a new collection: Crazy in Love Again. Luckily it is a positive madness, born under the auspices of Cupid, which in this case is evoked with the symbol of the arrow and the hearts.

Rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings, are made of silver, steel and white topazes.

The style is always the one practiced by Charriol from the Eighties to today: the shape of the steel cable is transformed into unconventional jewelry. The rigid bracelets are therefore characterized by the twisted steel cable, softened by hearts, arrows and white topazes. As an alternative to the cable, the collection also includes a bracelet with a silver chain. Public prices: starting from 110 euros. Lavinia Andorno

The sea seen through the Giovanni Raspini Nautilus collection: silver, opal and rock crystal ♦ ︎

You do not have to be Sherlock Holmes to guess what is the leitmotif of the Nautilus collection, by Giovanni Raspini. It’s elementary: it’s about the marine environment. In view of spring and summer, the sea returns to occupy the thoughts of women, assuming that the charm of the waves and beaches has never been abandoned.

The Nautilus collection by Giovanni Raspinisi is inspired, in fact, the marine world, but also the submarine one.

In the large necklaces or earrings there are, in fact, figurative elements that recall the environment of the water: they are made from microsculptures in wax, which then give rise to the fusion in silver. Nautilus depicts corals, madrepores, shells, anemones: a coral reef transformed into a jewel, thanks also to the deep and iridescent blue of the opal dubbed with rock crystal. In the collection are a necklace, a pendant, two bracelets, a ring and two earrings. Lavinia Andorno

The term is used in the branch of geology that studies the geological composition of stars and planets. But in Latin it also means arch, rainbow, arch of a building. You decide. Pianegonda has from long time chosen the path of sound Latin names. But this time, looking at the jewels, the inspiration seems more that of the first option.

The jewels of the Arcus collection are in silver with ruthenium plating, which gives a darker shade, but with white or gray cubic zirconia pavé.

The shape of the jewels and their surface are reminiscent of the appearance of a moon or an asteroid. This stellar impression does not diminish the impact: it is the design of the collection that does its part, making the jewels compatible with a chapter of Star Wars, but without being extravagant. Some price: a ring from the Arcus collection costs from € 174 to € 228. The bracelet 580 euros, while the pendant 284 euros. Lavinia Andorno
