Sicily by Giovanni Raspini

///




Tuscan silver goes to Sicily. It is the silver of Giovanni Raspini, who chooses the Italian island as the source of inspiration for his new collection: Sicily. With a novelty by the standards of the Florentine brand: burnished silver and worked as always with a sculptural style, in the Sicily collection is also accompanied by small freshwater pearls. Pearls and silver alternate on bracelets and necklaces for a contrast that enriches the jewels and adds a baroque tone. It is no coincidence that Sicily boasts a rich heritage of architecture and art from this artistic style.

Not only that: in homage to the Mediterranean Sea, which surrounds the coasts of the island, alongside the pearls there are also silver castings in the shape of shells, sea urchins, starfish and small luminous spheres. A style that, in addition to paying homage to Sicily, recalls the upcoming summer atmospheres. Giovanni Raspini’s Sicily collection offers two necklaces, three bracelets and four earrings.

The Neapolitan spirit of Caramanna Gioielli

//




It has just turned 100, but it is in perfect shape: Caramanna Gioielli, a Neapolitan brand with the creative guidance of Stefania Caramanna, was born in 1920, the year of inauguration of the jewelry store opened by the grandfather of the current designer. Stefania Caramanna, who entered the business in 1989, however, has a different background: she has a degree in architecture and has dedicated herself to jewelery by merging her two professional experiences. The real launch of the Caramanna Gioielli brand, however, is more recent: it dates back to 2008. Since then, the Maison has participated in numerous events, including fashion shows and television broadcasts.

Caramanna Gioielli’s proposals are oriented towards silver pieces, embellished with semi-precious stones such as onyx or topazes and pearls. Rings and necklaces have substantial volumes, with a processing that favors soft and rounded shapes, often depicting animals or traditional subjects.

Pandora with heart for mom

//




Pandora offers a collection for Mother’s Day. But few know that Mother’s Day was born in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. The idea came on the initiative of social activist Anna Jarvis, who wanted to commemorate her missing mother. The feast, therefore, is not directly related to the maternity celebrations of the past, such as the Greek cult of Cybele, the mother deity Rhea, the Roman feast of Hilaria Matris Deum or the Christian Sunday celebration of Laetare. Currently, Mother’s Day is remembered above all through a gesture of affection of the children towards their mother, and is often realized with a gift.

For Mother’s Day Pandora offers a new pendant with the shape of the heart and charms to be added to bracelets or necklaces with the engraved words Mom you are my Angel, or the Heart and Four-leaf clover charms. “The jewels in this collection are versatile and different just like the mothers who wear them” say in unison Francesco Terzo and Alessandro Filippo Ficarelli, vice presidents and creative directors of Pandora. “Every single jewel is created to make every mother feel elegant, beautiful and loved”.

Rosato in nature with Gaia

///




Environment, nature, sustainability: concepts that have (hopefully) become part of the collective consciousness. And Rosato, a brand of the Bros Manifatture group, joins those who care about the fate of the Earth with the Gaia collection. Which is not only a feminine name, but also a reference to natural balance. In Greek mythology, in fact, Gaia was the Greek goddess of the Earth, mother of all life, similar to the Roman Terra Mater. And, if mythology were not enough, we must remember the scientific hypothesis Gaia, formulated for the first time by the English scientist James Lovelock, according to which living organisms on Earth interact with the surrounding inorganic components to form a complex self-regulating system, which helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet.

That said, the Gaia collection uses the universal symbol of peace, together with leaves, flowers, butterflies and bees as elements that make up the 925 rhodium-plated jewels in natural or pink color, for pendants with white and red cubic zircons. The prices of some jewels: a necklace 129 euros, bracelet 89 euros, earrings 119 euros, ring 75 euros.

The Amatum jewel of Pianegonda

//





Before talking about the Amataum collection by Pianegonda, it is necessary to make a premise: the language of the ancient Romans, Latin, distinguishes the logical-grammatical functions of nouns, adjectives and pronouns thanks to five declensions: the word, therefore, takes on small changes that serve to indicate its function. Among the declensions, the accusative indicates the person or thing on which the action of the verb falls directly. Here we are to explain that Amatum can be translated simply as “the beloved”. Pianegonda, however, from the brand that is part of Bros Manifatture is presented in a completely different way the collection: inspired by what nature creates, such as plant fibers or sand dunes in the desert, with wavy lines sculpted by the wind.

Anello in argento con ametista
Anello in argento con ametista

And so, Amatum perhaps refers to love for nature. Or, instead, love would be for silver combined with semi-precious stones such as amethyst or lime quartz, the materials that make up the brand’s jewels? In any case, the wavy lines are used to compose necklaces with pendants, rings, bracelets and earrings in the style that now distinguishes the new life of Pianegonda.

Unode50 on the Thread of life

Jewels on the thread of life: the Spanish brand, but widespread in many countries, Unode50 offers a collection inspired by the world of fabrics and sewing. But also to the meaning of life. The Thread of life collection, in fact, has jewels in the shape of buttons or sewing needles, which form bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings in gold and silver plated metal, with leather threads and charms. The jewels are produced in Spain and made, Unode50 assures, according to an entirely handmade process.

It’s a method that the brand, born in Madrid in the late nineties, considers to be its main feature. Unode50 was born with the idea of ​​proposing a different style of jewelry from the existing one, with renewed creation techniques and processes. The brand has grown with the contribution of its creative director and founder, José Azulay. The name derives from the idea of ​​producing jewelry in no more than 50 pieces, to emphasize the original design and craftsmanship. Of course today, with collections sold in many countries and distributed by hundreds of points of sale, it is very difficult for a jewel to be produced in a few pieces, even if the brand periodically offers limited edition collections, which sell out in a short time.

Giovanni Raspini on the Silver Thread

///

One of Giovanni Raspini‘s new collections for spring 2021 is called Fili (threads) and is made, like others, with the lost-wax casting technique. As it is known, it is an ancient technique used for sculptures that was even introduced in the Bronze Age. According to archaeological findings, the lost wax technique was used as early as 3500 BC. by the Sardinian populations and has known a considerable diffusion especially in the art of Sardinia (Italy) and then in Greek and Roman art and in monumental sculpture.

The Fili collection uses the lost-wax casting technique to sculpt the volumes of the silver jewels, with an accentuated burnishing to accentuate the design. The jewels, in fact, are designed as if a silver thread were wrapped around it. In this way the movement is enhanced and the repetition of the stylistic concept achieves an interesting chiaroscuro effect. The collection features two necklaces, two bracelets, two rings and two hoop earrings.

Georg Jensen on Curve

Georg Arthur Jensen, born in 1866, was a famous Danish silversmith, founder of the company that bears his name, Georg Jensen. And after so many years, the brand retains the clear Nordic design, applied to objects for the home and for jewelry. Jensen made his first jewel in 1899, but the Maison’s collections are still appreciated all over the world today. An example is that of the Curve collection, one of the latest productions of the Danish brand. Exercising on the concept of roundness means risking repeating something proposed in past over and over again. But, despite this, the collection includes jewelry with a new design, made with a perfect arc in sterling silver and 18K yellow gold.

In fact, the designer, one of the most popular in Copenhagen, has already created some important collections for Georg Jensen. And the Curve collection confirms the ability to play on simple lines that are pleasant for everyone.

Charm of Africa for Misis

///

She works in Vicenza, in a city not far from the sea of ​​Venice. And, in fact, Claudia Piaserico, designer of Misis, loves beaches and waves. But also travel, as is the tradition of the ancient republic of Venice, which in the past created its wealth on trade between East and West. The Africa Queen collection, however, went even further with inspiration from the great continent. And the elements of the African imagination have been transfused into jewels that use gilded silver, crystals and semi-precious stones, such as agate and citrine. Zebras, giraffes and some textures reminiscent of the spotted skins of African animals are shapes used for the collection.

Claudia Piaserico, designer of Misis, in the company run by her brother Alberto, has inherited the passion for jewelry from her parents, Bruno and Ester. But she, curiously, she had decided to become a lawyer, before feeling the inner call to the family business. Her collections are certainly original, full of imagination and far from the classic canons, but they manage to remain within an affordable price range.

The hot silver of Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta is one of the most exclusive fashion brands. In particular, it is famous for its leather products. His atelier is located in an eighteenth-century villa in Montebello Vicentino (Vicenza, Italy), but is based in Lugano, Switzerland, and offices in Milan. Founded in 1966, the company was acquired in 2001 by the Gucci Group, now part of the French multinational Kering. The creative director of Bottega Veneta is Daniel Lee and one of his goals is to make the brand usable in many different ways.

If once Bottega Veneta was synonymous with bags, then with shoes and clothes, now the brand features a series of different accessories, including jewelry. As often happens for fashion brands (except for some cases) the most precious part of these jewels is the imprinted logo. For example, a simple silver chain ring, which in an artisan shop you could certainly pay less than 100 euros (or dollars), if branded Bottega Veneta is sold for around 500 euros. It should be added, however, that some bijoux from the Vicenza Maison have a more recognizable design, as in the series of silver jewels painted in pastel, pink or green colors, with the addition of cubic zirconia crystals. In this case, however, the price goes up even more.

The Mystery of the new Albert M. brand, belonging to the Milor group: silver, stones and, moreover, an exotic technique ♦ ︎

The brand is called Albert M. Where M. stands for Mouhadab, designer of the Milor group, based in Milan. Designer and also a gemologist, Albert decided to get involved and present himself with a brand bearing his name. A bit like a singer of a band who decides to record a record alone. A challenge that the designer decided to try with a line of 925 silver jewelery.

The new Albert M. collection is called Terra (Earth) and is made with silver and natural stones.

The black spinel and the garnet are added to the silver. Not only that: the jewels are made with a rare decorative technique called Ink Texture, which derives from the art of Japanese ink coloring. This technique allows to recreate a coloring effect of the surface of each jewel. The inlays on the surface of the jewel, more precisely, are dyed with an indelible pigment, with a “second skin” effect. The engravings on silver, in short, are accentuated and add to the jewel an exotic touch. Giulia Netrese

Journey on Gea with Gaia Caramazza

At the base of everything is Gea (also called Gaia), a name that in Greek mythology indicated the Earth, the primordial goddess. Today, however, Gea seems to be in trouble, pressed by climate changes that jeopardize its equilibrium. Perhaps this is also why the jewelry designer Gaia Caramazza has dedicated a new collection to Gea, consisting largely of necklaces. The jewels have considerable volumes and are made of silver and natural stones, all created by hand using the techniques of lost wax casting and banquet processing. In short, an artisanal work that borders on artistic production.

Among other things, jewels were the protagonists of Altaroma, the event focused on fashion organized in Rome, which also for the need to translate the atmosphere into digital images, created a fashion film that used the collection. Obviously the jewels are linked to the natural world, for example with shapes that are inspired by vegetation or the marine world.

From Capri, an Italian island opposite Naples frequented by celebrities, to the Hamptons and Palm Beach shops of Bergdorf Goodman and Aerin Lauder. The necklaces and ears of Grazia and Marica Vozza, twin sisters and partners in the small Capri jewelery shop, have come a long way. They are worn by Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey but, obviously, also by many other women attracted by the cheerful compositional lightness of the jewels. Which are a separate category, neither bijoux nor classic white gold and diamond contour jewels. In keeping with the atmosphere of the island, Grazia and Marica Vozza prefer turquoise, burnished silver, gilding, ebony, semi-precious stones and colored pearls.

A collection of necklaces and earrings in the shape of pasta, or food-themed, in silver and gold ♦

Giovanni Raspini, silver scales

///

A silver jewelry collection inspired by a fox’s skull. It is a rather unusual idea. But it must be added that Giovanni Raspini’s Skin collection for spring-summer 2021 is, in reality, the continuation of an artistic creation by the Florentine jeweler: the Skull of Fox necklace, one of the pieces that were part of the Jewels from a Wunderkammer. In the exhibition, Raspini’s creativity was expressed in unique pieces in which gilded silver was used together with hydrothermal quartz in various colors and, in the case of the necklace, together with a fox skull that had belonged to a Florentine painter.

The Skin collection takes up the motif of juxtaposed scales, used for the jewel that appeared in the exhibition, and adapted to the design of two necklaces, two bracelets, two rings and two earrings. The jewels are made with blackened silver, the slightly irregular contours add a hint of naturalist realism in the reproduction of the scales inspired by the animal world.

Lunar gold by Officina Bernardi

Go to the moon and discover that it also hides gold. And not only. Because for 35 years Officina Bernardi, alongside its famous Moon line, also offers a lot of innovation. The adventure started by two Venetian goldsmiths, the brothers Francesco and Carlo Bernardi, continues get alongside yellow metal with silver, as in the Ophidia collection. But at the center is always her, that is the moon, understood as a (patented) technique to create diamond spheres with which to play in the design of jewels.

Meanwhile Chrysos, the company founded in 1987 that controls the Officina Bernardi brand, launched in 2008, has now become an international company in the production of gold and silver chains. The jewels are made in Italy in the Borso del Grappa plant, a town in the province of Treviso (Italy). The small Moon spheres used in each collection have a multifaceted surface, a bit like precious stones.

A technique declined for all collections, albeit in a creative way. The jewels of the Selene line, for example, are in 925 silver and polished with a rhodium finish, to make them brighter and brighter. The Ophidia collection, on the other hand, uses another technique: small yellow gold ogives are aligned to reproduce a surface similar to scales. At the ends, however, there is the diamond sphere, with a row of white diamonds.

The free chains of Tilly Sveaas

//




What is the paradox for a jeweler? Choosing creativity to escape the chains of a fixed job, but then choosing chains as a model of style. This is what happened to Tilly Sveaas, an English mother and Norwegian father, who fled to the East at the age of 18 in search of excitement, adventure and above all to escape from a too regular life. For a year Tilly Sveaas lived in Bali, on a perennial vacation. Then, the youthful irregularities softened, and Tilly was fascinated by Southeast Asia. For example, for the ancient tradition of silver processing. She founded a silver jewelery company, Silver Service and for eight years in Bali she produced jewelery which she imported to Great Britain. Then, in 2016, the turning point came with the choice of adding gold, in plating, to jewelry.

The brand has thus become Tilly Sveaas, based in London, but without a boutique: the designer sells everything online. Especially chains for necklaces and bracelets, but also earrings and rings. Silver or bronze plated with a layer of 18K gold have simple, but effective shapes. Few concessions to unusual forms. The most successful collection adds a T-shape to the chains or rings of the earrings.
