Luca Cantarelli, jewels for sport

///




Big fashion magazines have already dealt with him: Luca Cantarelli is one of the emerging designers, who has made gender free one of his flagships. In short, jewels that can be worn regardless of gender or non-belonging. In short, in tune with the widespread trend. Born and raised in Sardinia, Cantarelli has lived and worked in Milan since 2012. He was struck by jewelry while attending university and, after graduating in law, he decided to devote himself to design.

He studied the necessary techniques and transported his interest in pop, like comics, to the world of jewelry. Bracelets, rings and earrings in silver, enamel, semi-precious stones are the ingredients of his palette. After working for fashion brands he was somewhat helped by the pandemic lockdown of 2020, when he had time to focus on his own jewelery making, which he describes as somewhere between street style with elements of sportswear. His 2nd round collection, for example, explicitly refers to the world of sport.

The novelties of Rome 1947




You have just turned five. Rome 1947 was born from a branch of Better Silver, a Vicenza-based company specializing in silver and bronze chains, as well as in manufacturing for third parties. And, after its debut, it continues to offer simple and casual style jewelry, made of silver or bronze, gold plated, with the addition of white or colored cubic zirconia, or freshwater pearls. In short, the bet of the founder, Paolo Bettinardi, was won and the brand is now distributed throughout Italy, as well as in the two single-brand stores in Florence and Rome. An almost obvious location given the name of the brand.

It is a name that comes from a photograph found in the Bettinardi family album: an image of grandparents on their honeymoon in the capital of Italy, two years after the end of the Second World War. A photograph that recalls the times of the Dolce Vita, but also of the desire to leave after the war interlude. And which, over half a century later, in turn pushed Better Silver to successfully target the retail market.

Gold, silver, platinum: will they cost more or less?




What will the price of gold be in 2022? And that of silver? What about platinum? Questions that all jewelers ask themselves, but also those who plan to buy a jewel or to sell it. The reason for so much curiosity is due to the increase in prices which in recent months has involved almost all raw materials, including metals. Gold, silver and platinum were also affected by the covid-19 pandemic, which for months partially held back mining and sales. Then, the economy restarted almost suddenly along with the demand for jewelry. So some prices went up a lot, but they also went down. How long will the uncertainty last?

Prezzo dell'oro, 1 anno
Prezzo dell’oro, 1 anno

Gold is a symbolic metal, and not just for jewelry. But it is not easy to predict the yellow metal. After hitting $ 2,000 nearly a year ago, the price per ounce dropped to just over $ 1,700 in October, its lowest level since March. A fall that was accelerated by the strength of the US dollar (when the dollar rises, gold usually falls). And, at the moment, it seems that the trend of weakness in prices is destined to continue, with the dollar being worth more (compared to the euro and the yen) and the cost of gold floating. Translated: in the coming months it should not increase, unless there are upheavals now not foreseen.

Prezzo dell’argento, 1 anno

Silver followed the price of gold, as is almost always the case: it rose to a peak of $ 28.89 per ounce, arriving in autumn 2021 with an average of $ 22.64 per ounce. In short, it has deflated, but the operators of the metals market expect that the price will rise again. It seems, in fact, that silver jewels are the protagonists of a boom that is destined to last: they cost less, they sell more. There are those who predict, in fact, that silver will reach $ 30 per ounce next year and then rise to $ 50.

It must be borne in mind that the price of gold, silver and platinum is not only linked to the world of jewelry. Metals, even precious metals, are also used for some industrial productions. In the case of platinum, palladium and rhodium (often used in jewelry together with gold or silver), for example, the price has dropped. The cause, according to industry experts, is linked to the global shortage of chips, the processors used for electronics, but also for cars or household appliances. The shortage of chips slowed the production of automobiles and, as a result, depressed the cost of metals used in catalytic converters.

The price of platinum fell from $ 1,008.29 an ounce in August to $ 988.67 in October. On the other hand, the price had risen a lot last year, reaching 1,214 last May. The strong demand from the world of jewelry (with a 48% increase in demand), however, could keep the price of platinum at high levels, albeit at a lower than record level. Same trend for palladium and rhodium. Palladium dipped below the $ 2,000 mark for the first time since mid-2020, below the high of $ 3,000 it hit in May. And experts predict it will continue its descent. Rhodium was also affected by the shortage of chips and dropped from the level of previous months: it went from a price of 10,205 per ounce in February 2020 to 25,981 per ounce in April. Then it dropped to $ 12,850 in October.

The heart of Tuum




Prayer can touch the heart. And Tuum, a brand that had the idea of ​​imprinting phrases and verses of the Catholic religion on its jewels, now proposes Cor, a collection consisting of a series of pendants to be added to a cord or chain. The shape of the medallions is, in fact, that of the heart enclosed in a circle. “Since ancient times, the wedding ring has been worn on the left hand due to the belief that a small artery would pass through them, going up to the heart”, is the phrase that accompanies the collection.

The Cor pendant does not want to be a simple gift between two lovers, but also an object from between different categories, for example, an object to offer to children, family or friends. Tuum’s pendants are made of silver, with the prayer of the Pater Noster in Latin embossed. Several pink, yellow or white rhodium-plated versions are proposed. A gold version is also available, in 9 or 18 carats and with small diamonds.

Kurshuni, XtraU autumn




Playing with words has become the norm since smartphones have existed: abbreviations, double meanings, acronyms, are used to communicate faster and in a more fun way, with the addition of a little personal creativity. With this idea, the Kurshuni brand has launched XtraU, the new capsule collection of the made in Istanbul brand. The pun, in this case, is between the word extra, summarized in xtra, and the letter U, which reads in English as you. In the small bijoux collection, the classic (rectangular) baguette cut is reinterpreted in a contemporary version and added to necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings. Kurshuni’s bijoux are in silver and cubic zirconia, light, easily wearable, and with a very affordable price.

The Kurshuni brand, founded in 2002, is an invention of Elif Esra Kurşunlu, architect, and Lokman Kurşunlu, engineer. But, curiously, it started with the glass art studio in Turkey. In fact, at the beginning, Kurshini jewels were designed with precious metals and glass. Later, 925 sterling silver with cubic zirconia stones was chosen. It uses pure 24 karat gold for yellow gold plating and 21 karat gold for rose gold over silver plating.

The snakes by Giovanni Raspini

////




The snake, in addition to being a reptile, is also one of the darlings of jewelers. Bracelets, rings and necklaces in the shape of the sinuous animal have been adopted by large and small brands. Giovanni Raspini also proposes for the next season Serpenti (snakes), a silver collection inspired by the limbless animal, which over the centuries has been taken as a symbol of a dark side, or of a sensual temptation, as evidenced by the story of the Bible. But all this takes a back seat in the snake-inspired jewelry collections, which use the scales and the elongated shape of the reptile for the different types of ornaments.

In addition, in the Serpenti collection by Giovanni Raspini, details are added such as the small invisible joints of the necklace, which allow the jewel to adapt better to the shape of the body and therefore offer better wearability. Each piece is offered in two versions, a more figurative one, where the snake’s shapes are more evident, and a more minimal one, where the reptile skin is the protagonist.

PdPaola’s jewels for little girls

/





Jewelery (also) for girls. In fact, there are not a few mothers who make their little daughters wear jewelry designed specifically for under 13s: mini necklaces and bracelets, but also earrings for those who have decided that there is no age limit for a hole in the lobes. With this perspective, the Spanish brand PdPaola launched the Les Petites collection. Emphasizing, however, that the mini jewels can also adapt very well to those who are a few years older. In fact, the pendants that accompany the line dedicated to very young girls (geometric volumes, but also flowers, or rockets and planets), can adapt without problems even to older girls.

The small jewels, which have a size proportionate to the body of miniature women, are made of 925 sterling silver with an 18-karat gold plating and with the addition of blush or blue crystals. In short, they can be the first treasures of a jewel box destined to grow over time.

Alisia, creativity all in the family

//




Eco-sustainability and work all in the family. Alisia is a small jewelry company from Bassano del Grappa (Vicenza, Italy) that offers silver rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces at very affordable prices. But without giving up creativity. It is a brand built all around Sara Zanon and Elia Pietrarelli, the founders of Alisia. Sara is the designer, the creative who conceives the collections, and she is also the mother of Elia, who instead takes care of the production of jewels.

But not only. The other two daughters of Sara Zanon, Jessica and Alice, also work in the company, contributing differently to the work. The jewels of the small Maison are in gilded silver, in some cases with the addition of small pearls and natural stones, such as spinel, amethyst or turquoise. Bracelets and necklaces made up of chains or wire have a lot of space, in the most classic tradition of the Venetian goldsmith industry, but there is no lack of pieces that recall a vaguely gypsy style.

Buddha to Buddha, guru’s bracelets

//




Eastern spirituality and Western practicality: it is the philosophy of the Dutch brand Buddha to Buddha ♦ ︎

The best method to create jewelry? Meditate. But Batul Loomans, the founder of the Buddha to Buddha brand, would say that meditation, yoga and silence are the best way to live. It is a strange story that of Buddha to Buddha. Batul, Dutch, like many Western boys has been fascinated by oriental spirituality. In 1992 in Goa, in the meditation center of the guru Osho, and after working for a couple of weeks with Mother Teresa in Calcutta, he drew the first bracelet while he was on the beach.

Bracciale multi catena in argento Nathalie

A conversation with a master’s disciple then determined what the name of his activity should be: Buddha to Buddha. The first bracelet, called Batul, was then brought to Reflections, a high fashion store in Amsterdam. It seems to have been successful, partly because the jewel inspired a model of life in scope. In short, since then Buddha to Buddha wants to be a special jewelery brand, which has a direct connection with Eastern spirituality.

Bracelets, rings and pendants are made with a blend of design and tradition of craftsmanship.

The jewels are made in Indonesia: the brand specifies that it takes three to five days of work to compose the complex chains, with 28 pieces needed to make the locking mechanism that also becomes the logo of each jewel. The silver is liquefied by the heat of the open flame and then modeled into small precious elements. Double-intertwined in the silver variants and in those with onyx or agate details, the chain becomes a bracelet or ring. The rings reproduce the classic sweater in a band effect, with evident dimensions. The bracelets and rings also use a tightly woven tubular mesh with clasp.

Diva Gioielli’s silver diamonds

//




Buying a diamond without buying a diamond. It is not a contradiction, provided that instead of a stone you choose the Diamante collection by Diva Gioielli. But, despite the name, there is no need to get confused: the jewels of the collection are not set with diamonds. Instead, they are made of silver, the house specialty. But, optionally, they can also be obtained with a gold plating. So how do you explain the name of the collection? Simple: the particular processing of the metal, silver, is called diamond coating.

Orecchini in argento diamantato
Orecchini in argento diamantato

Diamonds, in this case, are used at a certain point in the process and are used to make the silver shine. To obtain this effect, obtained by hand processing, after having treated the silver jewel with an iced liquid, diamond points are used (it is the hardest material on earth) to remove a tiny portion of the metal on the surface. In this way a mirror facet is obtained, which reflects the light. In this case, thanks to this process, Diva has obtained particularly reflective necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings.

Silver and tradition of Tane Mexico 1942

//




Love for Mexico of a Mexican jewelry company. Tane Mexico 1942 has 80 years of history behind it (it was founded in 1942). And she is extraordinarily proud of her country, rich in nature, history and culture. So it is not surprising that he launched the Mexico Mi Amor collection, which is made up of silver or vermeil pendants that represent symbols, objects, animals, which are part of the history of the Central American country. An idea that was also liked by the jury of the Couture Design Awards, which selected the Mexican Maison among the finalists in the Best in Silver category.

And to say that the company was born to manufacture saddles, and then leather bags. This is why it was defined a tannerie, the French word for tannery. The shortened name has become Tane, but over the years the business has expanded to silverware, an activity that continues with pieces for the home. Three people were fundamental for the evolution: Lucila de la Lama, Soledad García and Pedro Leites, but alongside designers such as Finnish Tapio Wirkkala, Alfonso Soto Soria, Omar Arroyo and Mario Martín del Campo. Tane also opened a Silver School and Laboratory in Tlalpujahua with 75 goldsmiths, and another school in Zacatecas. Not only that: it has opened training workshops at the École Tané de Bijouterie et d’Orfèvrerie Ploërmel, in France.

The symbolic dreams by futuroRemoto

///




An old Italian film from the 1950s was called It’s not true … but I believe it. The story revolved, with humorous intent, on superstition. Little has changed since then: the amulet remains, in Italy and in the rest of the world, one of the favorite types of buyers. “Who knows it doesn’t really work?” And so almost all jewelers provide a version of lucky charms. A new contribution to the idea that a small metal sculpture has who knows what powers comes from FuturoRemoto, an Apulian brand founded by designer Gianni de Benedittis.

The Dreamers’ Room is a collection that uses ancient symbols such as the pentacle pendant, a symbol of strength and beauty, the two-tailed Milk Mermaid (in the Middle Ages they believed she converted her milk into gold), the protective lions of the world, the Wheel of luck with the signs of the zodiac and the phoenix, back in the news with the Harry Potter films. The jewels are in gold-plated silver, but on request it is possible to obtain a version made entirely of yellow metal.

John Hardy’s new soft chains

///




In the language spoken in Bali, terms such as flat or smooth are translated as Rata. And it is the same word used for a type of chain, the typical one worn in Asia, and which has always been a John Hardy flag. Rata is also the name of a line of jewelry, made with an intricate multi-row chain inspired by the traditional Balinese weaving techniques mythologized in our archive of the company founded in 1999 on the island of Bali on the initiative of Guy Bedarida, a former senior haute joaillerie designer of Boucheron and Van Cleef and Arpels.

John Hardy, years later it was bought and moved to Hong Kong, but continues to offer jewelery produced in Bali and which retain the original ethnic aesthetic. Like, in fact, the silver chains of the Rata collection, which however also include an 18-karat gold bracelet. The advantage of this type of processing is the simple portability: the chains are very soft once worn. In addition, they are proposed as unisex jewels, to conquer even male vanity.

Inoltre, sono proposte come gioielli unisex, per conquistare anche la vanità maschile.

Vezzaro, microspheres of gold and silver for jewels that resemble a pavé of diamonds ♦

It is curious that a company that produces delicate gold and silver jewelery has its seat in a street called Old Ferriera. But Vezzaro is not conditioned by the ancient origins of this area of ​​Vicenza, Italy. In the jewelery district in 1989, Pino Vezzaro founded his company that sums up the two faces of jewelery production: the industrial and the craftsmanship. In short, from a craftsman’s shop and has evolved into a wider business. But without losing the roots.

The style of the company comes from the research of the founder, Pino Vezzaro, who uses microspheres in gold or silver that, with a special process, seems it like small diamonds pavé. The wires of diamond microspheres were the basis for the first jewels. The next step was to wrap the threads around a sphere, to get an effect that is reminiscent of diamond pavé. After repeated attempts, Vezzaro has developed an original technique called VezzaroLighting, a laborious and precise manual process that makes extensive use of laser technology. You can see the result in the images.

The lightness of OroSoffiato

The OroSoffiato jewels, soft shapes and a special production technique ♦

Those who believe that jewels are made one by one by old artisans armed with worn tools are wrong. Of course, there are those too. But 99% of the jewels are produced by modern machinery and, perhaps later, they are assembled by hand. To distinguish quality, therefore, is also the ability of companies to make the industrial process of the best possible quality. And whoever succeeds is better.

Effe Due OroSoffiato is a brand of the Italian company Galvanotec, a third-party manufacturer from Arcugnano (Vicenza), which was the first in Italy to produce electroforming jewels that stand out from those of other brands, because they do not use an internal volume, usually made of copper or other metals, then coated with gold. OroSoffiato, instead, simply uses a thick gold film, empty inside. Just blown gold, jewels with a lot of volume, but light. The earrings, in particular, can thus be worn without feeling too heavy. Furthermore, the metal is an alloy of gold and silver devoid of copper, indium and cadmium. The company has a special ability to select the material and the production process thanks to instruments, such as the x-ray and atomic absorption spectrometer, which allow it to reach perfection.
