Ottaviani Gioielli for the winter

Published on October 30, 2017

The collections by Ottaviani Gioielli for the winter 2017-2018 ♦ ︎
Ottaviani, an Italian historical brand for bijoux and jewelery, renews its collections for the winter 2017-2018. Proposed jewels use natural stones such as agate, quartz or amber. But the main aspect is the interpretation of pieces as miniature sculptures. Small teapots, leaves, bells, flowers, jars, birds, cats, children, owls emerge from earrings, rings and pendants. Rhodium-plated metal, in some cases with gilding, makes the surface brilliant. Particularity of the collection is the different treatment of silver 925, treated with a white wax, it is very shiny and of great effect. When it is handled with the process of Electroforming, on the other hand, produces large volume elements and shapes, but at the same time easy to read and easy to wear. In the Balloon collection, the star, the flower or the circular element take a sinuous shapes and lines of great impact and brightness.
The surface of rhodium-plated silver is also proposed scratched, or chiseled with zirconia embossing. Lavinia Andorno

Alfieri & St.John landed on the Moon with the collection 1969 ♦ ︎
In 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon. It was a historic moment: the first man to walk on a planet other than Earth. This story that has marked a era, has inspired Alfieri & St.John, that called 1969 his most accessible collection. As is well known, the Jewelery House, raised for some years by the new property of Gens Aurea, get names of its collections from numbers that refer to particularly significant years, or to important historical events. Like the Apollo 11 on the Moon. The 1969 collection, which is aimed at a young audience, is made of silver, with details in black enamel. Bracelets, rings and necklaces have a very modern design, as is consistent with the theme of the collection. The Alfieri & St.John collections are distributed in the three boutiques of Rome, Milan, Madrid and over 165 multibrand jewelers. Alessia Mongrando

The Milky Way seen by Giovanni Raspini: a silver and labradorite collection ♦ ︎
There are five new collections for the winter 2017-2018 by Giovanni Raspini. The florentine company specializing in silver has long taken the road to an ever more imaginative and elaborated jewel-style interpretation, with collections that over time have also added elements other than simple silver. This is the case for one of the winter collections, Via Lattea (Milky Way), with melted pieces with labradorite inserts. The pieces consist of a stream of small spheres of glossy silver on a burnished background, running in a bright set of textures and opalescence. The effect is as a small galaxy that becomes jewel and is, in fact, produced through the use of labradorite, a stone that has fluctuating reflections in colors ranging from gray to pale blue to blue. The silver and labradorite set is particularly successful. The collection consists of two necklaces, two bracelets, two rings and three earrings. Lavinia Andorno

The tough Magerit pendants

Three bad guys are pendants in the Magerit Black Black Essence collection ♦
Magerit is a Spanish Maison who loves two things: fantastic characters and a jewelery that becomes a miniature sculpture test. As in the case of three Bad Guys, of the Black Essence collection, which is inspired to the comic book characters of the Seventies. The jewels are made in silver with golden details, in cartoon style. It is not easy to create engraved statuettes so detailed. Every character, says Magerit, has a character and a role, just like in a comic book story. Tiger Boss, for example, has a hidden look behind golden mirrored sunglasses and a solid gold pendant with a dollar sign: he’s a tough boy. Another pendant, King Tyson, shows his muscles, has a warlike appearance. While Lady Rabbit represents the feminine character of history, a charming girl, but attracted by an ambiguous environment. Three pendants conceived as unisex jewelry, certainly very different from classic pendents. Rudy Serra

Thomas Sabo on the dragon

Thomas Sabo climbs on Chinese dragon with a new collection. Images and prices ♦ ︎
China is close, even in the spirit of jewelery. This time the German brand Thomas Sabo embraces yin and yang philosophy with a new collection, Dragon Nights. The affordable price jewelery line was presented in Paris and interprets the mythological figure in about 70 handmade jewelry made of 925 sterling silver nielled. It is better to explain: the technique is to cover the traces of an incision with the powdered niello. What is the niello? It is an alloy that blends at low temperatures. After melting the niello, it is poured into the grooves and then the superfluous is eliminated, so that the engraved drawing appears in the metal.
The inlays are enamelled, the metal is finished with 18-karat pink gold. The line includes both jewels and watches, all with the same reference to oriental mythology. “Our Dragon Nights lives in the tension between the historical symbols of Asia and a contemporary and very urban interpretation. It comes from glamor creations that celebrate the current return of the ethnic jewel,” commented Susanne Kölbli, creative director of Thomas Sabo. Prices of some jewels: dragon-shaped pendant 898 or 1.198 euros, earrings 339 euros, bracelet 798 euros. But it also drops to 98 euros for the simplest earrings. Lavinia Andorno

Mikiko in silver

Showroom/perle

Mikiko launches a new silver collection, but pearls are always queens ♦ ︎
The story is a bit winding: in 1991, the European Institute for the Promotion of Perla began its commercialization, in collaboration with the Italian Goldsmith Federation. In 1999, the Swiss group Golay Buchel & Cie, specialized in pearl cultivation, found in the European Institute for the Promotion of Pearl a support for the creation of the first Italian branch of the group and acquired the company that changed its name in Golay spa. But in 2007, the Swiss group took another road to Japan, and Golay became an autonomous company and changed its name to Golay Buchel Italia, a unipersonous company. It is based in Vicenza and is headed by Marcel Philippe Kappelli. Golay Buchel Italia, ultimately, is on market around for 25 years and has launched the Mikiko and Nihama brands. The wire is always gold, silver and pearls.
After this premise, we come to what interests you most, jewels. Mikiko presented a new collection of silver and pearls. Silver is proposed with gold rhodium in the three colors. Jewelery design is rather traditional, but it is able to enhance the element on which the collection is centered, ie the pearls, both in the white and colored versions in different shades.

In the new life of the Pianegonda brand, a name that has been associated with a modern, often avant-garde design for years, multiplies collections that attract attention. Undoubtedly, the Arcana collection is one of these. Sure, it seems far from the simplicity of silver jewels of the first version of Pianegonda, but now the brand that is part of the Bros Manifatture company no longer limits itself. The Arcana collection, presented at VicenzaOro, in fact, amazes not only for a very innovative design, but also for the choice of workmanship, very different from the classic one. Jewelery, in fact, uses silver, but with a process of galvanic black gold, and with extensive use of black spinels. The dark effect is accentuated by the definite shapes of bracelet rings and earrings in the cuff evolution. Prices in the total black collection: from 148 euros for the simplest ring, up to 580 euros for the bracelet. Alessia Mongrando

Star Wars necklace is back

Carrie Fisher con la collana Planetoid Valley

The necklace worn by Princess Leia’s in Star Wars is 40 years. And is back ♦ ︎
Star Wars in 2017 has reached 40 years. But it does not show them: the saga continues (the new episode is titled The Last Jedi). Perhaps even to celebrate George Lucas’s first film series, Princess Leia’s Necklace has come back to date. For those who want it is still on sale, it’s in silver and costs 2255 euros. You can also buy the earrings and bracelet worn by Carrie Fisher, who disappeared in December 2016.
The Star Wars jewels have a long history. They have been commissioned to Lapland Jewelry by Björn Weckström, Finnish designer and sculptor. The necklace, called Planetoid Valleys and the Darina bracelet, have become the most popular jewelery pieces of the brand.
Everyone started with a call in Weckström in 1976. A collaborator of George Lucas asked the designer new jewelry within six weeks. The choice was not casual: Björn Weckström had already made pieces on the subject of space and science fiction. But the time allowed was shortened to a week and, therefore, a existed jewel of Lapponia Jewelry was used. Since film scenes were shot in studios near London, space jewelery was purchased very simply in Bond Street.
The Planetoid Valley Necklace and Darina Bracelet were worn by Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia as he handed the medals to Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford). Since then, the Space Silver collection, designed in 1969, has become a cult object. Cosimo Muzzano

Autumn colors? Pink, Blue, Olive Green… Morellato has decided to color the new season with a new collection, Gemma, which points all about the opalescent nuances of cabochon stones. These are called cat-eye stones, that is chrysoberyl suitably made in different colors pink, blue, black, green, yellow and white. But the use of colored stones is not the only novelty. Another distinctive sign is the use of flexible silver for open bracelets, so that the jewel is easier to push and pull out the hand: after goes back into its original shape. Silver can be in natural, white or golden color with Pvd, that is, with a gold film applied to the metal. The collection also includes a elasticized choker with a central white stone: this necklace, on the other hand, is back in great fashion. The face of the advertising campaign will always be that of Michelle Hunziker. Prices: bracelets 69-79 euro, necklaces 69-99 euro, rings 44-49 euro. Alessia Mongrando

Bea Bongiasca clears a Coca

Bracciale Happy go cola, edizione limitata in 10 pezzi, argento e pietre

A mini collection dedicated to the most popular carbonated beverage in the world: Coca Cola. The author is the designer of Milan Bea Bongiasca ♦ ︎
Rice and Coca Cola. It may seem like a not too orthodox combination for good food enthusiasts. But if you talk about jewelery is another talk. Bea Bongiasca began her career with No Rice, No Life, the first jewelery collection that wanted to be a bridge between the Asian heritage and the symbols of Western consumer culture. Two opposing views of luxury: rice, one of the most important resources of Oriental culture and a symbol of life, together with pearls and silver, is synonymous with wealth in Western countries. A few years after the food seen as a symbol, the designer of Milan thought of another emblem of Western life, Coca Cola. And she produced a mini collection sold exclusively at the Rossana Orlandi boutique in Porto Cervo (Sardinia). The beverage bottle thus becomes an ornamental element, but also allusive, along with pink flowers, green leaves and gems. The materials used are silver, but also stones like topaz, carved amethyst.

Pandora is getting more and more golden

Bracciale, collana e anelli in Pandora Rose, con pietre trasparenti e cristalli rosa sfumati incastonati da intagli a forma di cuore

Luxury jewelery is in decline? Maybe. Meanwhile Pandora’s silver makes gold business ♦ ︎
Sometime it needs to realize how the world goes, including the jewelery world, and it is good for analyzing the facts. The numbers, for example. As for jewelery, experts have long wondered whether the cycle of high-quality, beautiful, but expensive production, is in decline. According to this interpretation, millennials, young people born at around the century, they would prefer inexpensive jewelry, under the roof of the 200-300 euro, rather than engaging in expensive purchases. According to a survey conducted in the US, young people are willing to spend no more than a month’s salary equivalent for an engagement ring, often the most important jewel of their lives. A reflection of this trend may be the financial results of a group like Pandora, who built an empire on affordable jewelery.
While many large Maison do not shine or even suffer from a drop in consumption, Pandora in the second quarter of 2017 reports a growth of 12% (in local currency) to about 649 million euros, compared with the second quarter of 2016. Pandora’s stores sell well: the revenues generated by the Danish company’s stores grew by 36%. In Europe and the Mediterranean area, growth was 10%, while the Americas did not shine (+ 1%), and in the Asia Pacific region there was a boom of 35%. If you are curious to know what jewels Pandora’s customers get more, the charms grew by 6%, and 19% the bracelets. Also know that on each jewel, Pandora earns 33.4% (Ebitda, ie roughly gross margin).

Bracciale in argento con pasta di corallo e cristalli Swarovski

The Tuscan brand Raspini (silver jewelery) opens the first store in London and presents the Ibiza collection ♦ ︎
Giovanni Raspini is a name that in Italian also has a synonym: argento. The specialist in jewelry and objects made with the noble metal white, however, can now also be translated into inglish word, silver. The word Anglo-Saxon, in fact, arises because Raspini has opened the doors of his first boutique in the UK. The conquest of His Majesty’s Kingdom starts from London, in the shopping district of South Molton Street, near MayFair. Raspini opens a door not only figuratively to the British market. Giovanni Raspini already has boutiques in Munich, Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence, Naples, Savona and Brescia. Among the novelties of Raspini presented this year, there is also the Ibiza collection that is inspired by the sea and where, alongside silver, coral paste is used with Swarovski crystals. Jewelery reminds of shapes of shells, starfish or turtles. Ibiza is made up of a necklace, a bracelet and two earrings. Giulia Netrese

Passavinti for everyone

Passavinti, bracciale con pietre naturali

The Florentine brand Passavinti has renewed the affordable bijoux collections ♦︎
Traditional jewels, in the sense of respect for local history. That, in the case of Passavinti, is very tied with Florence. Founded by Romano Passavinti in 1970, the small Florentine Maison chose the jewelery road for everyone, but especially for those who love the great city that has marked the history of culture and art. The brand thus united a traditional line to the most pop of the seventies and eighties. Alongside the more traditional manufacturing techniques, Passavinti uses the industrial ones flourished in the wide area that extends from Florence to Arezzo.
The mix of tradition and production on a wider scale, with a modern design, accelerated in 2011 when the founder sold to two young entrepreneurs, Danilo Caccetta and Mirco Zoppini, who re-launched the brand with new ambitions. The choice of offering jewelery made of silver or bronze also widened the audience of potential customers who appreciate jewelery collections at popular prices and modern shapes, with city symbols such as the Palazzo Vecchio, which can turn into pendants For modular bracelets.

Bjanca Judith, Verona brand created by the young designer Giuditta Ambrosini ♦ ︎
She is called Giuditta Ambrosini. A very Italian name but not very exotic. Perhaps for this she felt the desire to turn it as the silver she uses for her jewels. This is how the Bjanca Judith brand is born: a way to express the creativity of the young designer of Verona, who has a degree in Visual Arts and Entertainment, specialization in Design and Production of Visual Arts at Iuav in Venice, and an intensive Jewel design at Lao in Florence. Not only that: Giuditta is a girl with many resources. She is also a photographer, videomaker and artist, with participation in various exhibitions.
Having said this, Bjanca Judith’s jewels have the merit of costing not too much, but at the same time showing a unique shape. They are jewels that have a signature in their own volume. A minimal jewel, describes still the designer, made always with a crafted work: “I personally work myself, from design to finish, file work, calibrating, milling and polishing machine”, she said. Prices: for bigger pieces, do not exceed 200 euros. A curiosity: prices are often different for the same jewel, with a minimum and a maximum tied to jewel measurements (eg a bracelet may be more or less wide) and, of course, the weight of the metal used. An appreciable transparency and not (unfortunately) diffuse. Giulia Netrese

Jennifer Lawrence with Tiffany Necklace designed by Elsa Peretti. Here are some of Elsa Peretti’s Tiffany jewelery, pictures and price ♦ ︎May 1, 2017 Elsa Peretti turned 77. She is one of the great jewelery designers who tied his name to Tiffany. Florentine, daughter of a oilman, she preferred to study volumes and metals rather than business. She graduated in 1963 in Milan, in interior design and began working for architect Dado Torrigiani.
In 1968 Elsa Peretti moved to New York where she lived the (a bit turbulent) years of avant-garde in the Big Apple. The aesthetic and professional wedding with Tiffany dates back to 1974 and is still ongoing. His jewels are among the most precious and admired pieces of the vast production of Tiffany. So, after joining Lady Gaga for the launch of the Tiffany City HardWear collection, the Maison has immortalized in the pictures the combination of one of the youngest claimed actresses, Jennifer Lawrence and the designer.

John Hardy, a capsule collection to celebrate the 40th anniversary in Bali ♦ ︎
Oriental fragrance with a bit of California essence: John Hardy, a Bali-based brand, but especially present in the American market, is 40 years old. And the coincidence was celebrated with the first prize at the Couture Design Awards in the Best in Colored Gemstones category above 20K dollars. And to say that at the beginning the brand was born by aiming on silver jewels.
But 40 years are long and the art of jewelery imported to Bali in 1999 by Guy Bedarida, an senior designer of Boucheron’s haute couturiers and Van Cleef and Arpels, has evolved in the meantime. Alongside pieces of exotic silver inspiration, John Hardy has added more sophisticated and, of course, more expensive jewelery. For example, for the birthday, the Maison of the Indonesian island has proposed a capsule collection that includes a bracelet (about $ 1,500), a pair of earrings ($ 395) and a ring ($ 495). But in the Maison’s catalog there is also an 18K gold chain bracelet with $ 10,500 diamond pavé (only 40 pieces). Alessia Mongrando

Georg Jensen special north

Published on June 17, 2017

Showroom

The Michelsen collection and the special edition by Georg Jensen, the north with a refined and soft design ♦ ︎
The design, not only of jewelry, signed by Georg Jensen is unmistakable: a mixture of Nordic austerity, soft cleansing, rational lucidity. In short, the Danish soul melded in the metal and the graphic sign that determines the shape. No exception is the Michelsen collection presented in the spring. The onyx cabochons, shaped like a black bullet, dotted the shiny silver curves of a wide, but feminine bracelet.
The new collection is inspired by the vast assortment of drawings that are kept in the company’s archives. Because Georg Jensen is also this: modernity, but with a consolidated tradition behind it. And the same talk can be made for special edition jewels that use, alongside classic silver, stones such as rock crystal, prehennite, quartz smoke. Even in this case, the tradition of simple but refined design is respected. Alessia Mongrando

London air for Maria and Luisa

Maria and Luisa (Pianegonda) is preparing to conquer Great Britain with her silver jewelery ♦
If it is a case of personality duplication, it works fine. And it is desirable that healing remains far away. Yes, because Maria e Luisa Jewels is not, as you might think, a company born by two friends, but of the same person: Maria Luisa Pianegonda. If the name tells you something, you guessed it. Now Pianegonda is a trademark belonging to the Bros Manifatture group, while Pianegonda person belongs to itself. In short, another doubling. But it is all the result of the Vicenza designer’s choices, which in 2012 abandoned her brand for a crisis, she explains, entirely personal. She traveled to the eastern countries that arouse apprehension, such as Afghanistan, she helped the Pangea Foundation, which helps women to claim their rights. A journey, even inner, that pushed her to start over. Sold the brand Pianegonda, she chose Milan to launch his boutique: Maria and Luisa Jewels. The choice of the English word is not casual: after relaunching relationships with its former clients in Italy, Maria and Luisa Jewels has the goal of expanding abroad. It is no surprise, then, that a serious headline such as the British magazine Professional Jeweller writes that the Venetian designer’s Maison was preparing to conquer the United Kingdom.
Maria Luisa Pianegonda is a specialist in silver jewelery. But silver worked handmade, very well-treated, treated like gold. She also uses stones such as quartz or topaz to enrich bracelets, rings and necklaces. All jewels are made by artisans in Milan and partly finished in Vicenza, its starting point. The journey continues. Giulia Netrese
