Anello in oro giallo 18 carati con zaffiro rosa e tsavorite

It boasts the most ancient traditions, for centuries it has been run by the same family and among its customers there are kings and queens: the Mellerio jewelery shop is an institution in Paris and after five centuries it continues its business without losing contact with its roots. By the way, the deepest roots go back to Italy, because the Mellerio family originated here. And perhaps this is precisely why the Maison has dedicated a collection inspired by the Italian Renaissance.

Anello in oro giallo 18 carati con spessartite e diamanti rosa

The collection is called Color Queen and plays around ten different color combinations. Shades that are offered by a vast choice of precious and semi-precious stones, from black and white diamonds to gems such as spessartite, tsavorite, garnets. The jewels are also offered in a special green box made by Goyard, another historic company that has been making high-quality bags in Paris since 1792. Mellerio, with the help of Goyard, wanted to offer a more captivating package for the ten rings (plus a cross) that make up the Color Queen collection.

The evolution of Joanna Achkar

Anello Stella Divina, in oro 18 carati, smalto, rubini

Joanna Achkar is part of that small group of women who studied economics, she started working in the world of finance and then returned to her first love: jewelry. Of Lebanese origin, but resident in Paris, Joanna Achkar started with a degree in Business Administration at the Institut Superieur de Gestion in the French capital in 2014, to then work at Byblos Bank in Beirut and later for Aim Social Media Marketing. In 2017 she was her turning point: she founded the jewelry brand that bears her name.

But she was not an initiative born out of nothing: she first studied Jewelery Design, Diamond Grading and Gemmology in Antwerp, at HRD (Hope Raad voor Diamant), the leading European authority in the certification of diamonds. Joanna Achkar’s jewels are made of 18 karat gold and diamonds, together with other precious stones, such as rubies, but also (more rarely) with synthetic stones. She also added a touch of color with the use of nail polish. The rings are also designed to be worn together, stacked, with a touch of fantasy that never becomes excessive.

Caspita what jewels

Published on July 12, 2022

Design/vetrina/ANELLI

Collane Vishuddha della collezione Chakra in oro, diamanti, smalto

The alchemy of Arlène Bonnant and her Caspita, a jewelery house that has the name of an exclamation in Italian. But a refined formula ♦ ︎

First premise for non-Italian readers. The word “caspita” in Dante’s language is an exclamation. Those who pronounce it usually add an exclamation mark: wow! It means more or less: “I’m really impressed with this …”. Arlène Bonnant’s grandfather seems to have often pronounced the word caspita and that is why the designer named Caspita her small jewelery house based in Geneva, Switzerland.

Second premise. The story of Arlène Bonnant starts from contemporary art. She is an expert in 20th and 21st century art. She worked for eight years together with Simon de Pury and Daniella Luxembourg, and acquired a deep knowledge of the art market. When Phillips de Pury & Company was acquired by the Lvmh group (which then resold it) Arlène Bonnant worked in the Contemporary Art department. In 2005 he created AB Concepts and Dreams (ABCD), a company that cataloged and ensured the conservation of a collection of 300 art objects.

Among the designer’s first initiatives was the collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects on a collection that combines innovative design technologies and the highest level of craftsmanship. The result was faceted reticular jewels reminiscent of cellular structures. Each piece has been further shaped by ergonomic considerations. The Skein collection includes rings worked in 18-karat gold, some inlaid with precious stones inside the delicate lattice structure, and launched at the Zaha Hadid Design Gallery in London during the Caspita pop-up store.

Collier Farandole Sahasrara in oro bianco e diamanti

These premises serve to understand why when Arlène decided to devote herself to jewels she considered them in all respects as works of art. And the sources of inspiration were travels to Greece, Italy, India (above all), Israel and Egypt, painters such as Goya, Mantegna, Bosh, Blake and Caravaggio, as well as a particular sensitivity for the world of spirituality. It is no coincidence that his collections are called Chakras and Ourobouros or Alchemy. Perhaps considering the matter divided into sulfur, mercury and salt is a bit simple. But the designer considers alchemy is a spiritual path, like any other path towards self-improvement. Wow, then it’s a bit like jewelry. Lavinia Andorno

The come back of the chevalier

Published on June 11, 2022

da sapere

The pinky ring is back. Find out the meaning and what are the characteristics of the ring that is worn on the little finger ♦

Chevalier in French, signet or pinky ring in English: it was the ring used in ancient times to press lacquer wax and initial letters. In short, a kind of stamp or certified signature of the aristocracy. The ring had engraved the family crest, an expression of wealth, lands, castles and power. On the other hand, there was no Pec at the time. Whoever received a letter sealed with lacquer wax, checked the imprint of the ring on the seal, to be sure of authenticity. Today, however, the chevalier ring is also worn by those who are not noble. Indeed, the wearer probably often does not know the history of this type of ring. In any case it is fashionable: the pinky ring is chosen indifferently by rappers or fashion addicted girls. In addition to those from a noble family.

Things to know about the pinky ring

In the past, the ring had a raised surface to better embellish the lacquer wax.
Subsequently, the chevalier ring simply adopted a flat surface, engraved with the coat of arms of the family.
In the Middle Ages the chevalier ring was made of simple burnished silver, especially in the countries of the North: it had a practical function, rather than an ornament.
Over time, the ring has become a sign of distinction. Made of gold, it often has a hard stone set, from lapis lazuli to the most expensive sapphire. Those who were very powerful and so rich chose a precious stone.
Lost its function of sealing the missives, the ring remained in use as a sign of noble belonging. It is usually worn on the little finger and carries the coat of arms of the family, even if not more in relief, but with a simple incision. It is a symbol of prestige, and is then adopted by those who are not noble, obviously without the heraldic crown.
Now it is back in fashion, and luckily also with irony: instead of the design of a coat of arms you can find a heart with the inscription «Love» engraved. Who does not want to renounce the crown can choose its big and white comics version or in black zircons, the Bourbon lily will like the nostalgic, the image of the miraculous Madonna to the devotees, the princess to the dreamers. In short, whether it is silver, gold or metal, which is small and discreet, large and imaginative, there is something for everyone.

Ena Iro between gems and myths

Published on June 1, 2022

Lived and departed from Africa, the continent where the most ancient traces of humanity were found, Ena Iro acclimatized in Geneva, where she synthesized exotic art, not only African, with Western taste and, above all, with a refined aesthetic. The ethnic inspiration led the young designer to the heights of a jewelry that is never banal, never predictable, never boring. But that doesn’t mean bizarre. The first collections of Ena Iro represented a unicum, like the rings and bracelets of the Torii collection, made with intricate precious weaves inspired by the African culture Punu grafted with Japanese aesthetics.

Years later, the designer takes advantage of her past experiences and proposes new jewels, which put large stones at the center, which accompany as many great ideas, with a style that is defined by the creator as ethereal but organic, simple but sophisticated, noble and elegant. Goals that are translated into practice by the new jewels that use titanium, with gems such as a pear-cut blue sapphire of over 25 carats, or with a 56-carat paraiba tourmaline. In short, art walks with the legs of the imagination, but looks with the eyes of luxury gems.

How to choose a ring

Published on March 26, 2022

da sapere/ANELLI

A recurring question among those that come to the gioiellis.com editorial staff is: which ring to give? A simple engagement ring? Or a cocktail ring, perfect to show off at a party? And if the gift coincides with an anniversary, wouldn’t an eternity type ring be better? Let us try to give an answer. But with a premise: posed like this is a very vague question. Giving a jewel as a gift is always a good idea but, at the same time, it is often an expensive purchase: the choice must be carefully evaluated. And to choose a ring well you have to take into account some aspects.

Anello in oro rosa e diamanti by Alex Ball indossato

What kind of ring?
It is not enough to choose the type of jewel (in this case the ring), but it is necessary to identify the right type of ring. Cocktail? Engagement? For an anniversary? To go to the office every day? The intended use of a ring is the first aspect to choose. When will you wear it? On what occasion? If you want to give a cocktail ring, for example, think if the person who receives it often goes to a party, spends the evenings in a disco, or is a person who loves spending time on social occasions. In this case, a large, eye-catching, colorful cocktail ring is what you need. If, on the other hand, your intention is to give a ring tied to an intimate moment, as a couple, a simple band ring in gold or silver, with or without stone, is the one for you.

With which clothing?
A ring must be suitable for the type of clothing you are wearing. So before choosing a model, find out what your partner’s style is. Do you always dress in designer clothes? Then, perhaps, she will pay close attention to the name of the jeweler who made the jewel. Do you prefer sporty and undemanding clothes instead? Then it will be more tuned to a no-brand ring, but nice to wear. Is it a formal type? In this case, be careful not to buy an extravagant ring.

What is the shape of the hands?
Well yes, in addition to identifying the ring size (we wrote here how to do it), pay attention to the shape of the hands. If they are small and small, a large and heavy ring will seem out of tune. If, on the contrary, the hands are large, the ring must also be proportionate to the measurements of the wearer.

What is your budget?
Avoid buying a ring that costs too much: it is useless to give a jewel and then not have the money to pay for a dinner. But at the same time, do not save on the purchase of a ring: it is a jewel that will be worn for years and that will have to testify the intentions of those who donated it. You don’t want every time he looks at it, you think you’re mean, right?

Choose the right stone
If you want to give a ring with a stone, choose a diamond. With a diamond you are on the safe side, it is unlikely that it will not be appreciated. But a diamond costs more than many other stones which are still a good choice. Aquamarine, amethyst, garnet, tanzanite, in addition to the classic precious stones such as emerald, ruby and sapphire, can be a valid alternative. An idea: you could give a ring with the gem tied to the birthday month. The birthstones can be found here.

What kind of ring

If your gift concerns the classic marriage request, which now also requires (??) someone willing to make the video while you kneel and show the ring (with the hope that she does not answer “no”), the solitaire is the ring that’s right for you. There are infinite variations, but the concept is always the same: a gold circle, more often white, with a diamond that stands out lonely and bright. How to choose? We wrote about it here.

But there are also many other types of rings. If the gift coincides with an important anniversary, even in this case choosing a diamond ring is always good. For example with an eternity type ring, if the anniversary is related to a couple relationship. As the name suggests, eternity symbolizes a love relationship that does not stop, which will last forever. Since the eternity ring is composed of a series of diamonds (but there are also versions with other stones) positioned along the band of the jewel, this type has the drawback of being often a little expensive. If, on the other hand, the anniversary refers to something less related to the passion of the couple, the choices may be different. A classic gift is a ring with colored stones: rubies, emeralds, sapphires. But also with spinel, rubellite, peridot or other semi-precious stones. In this case, the size of the stones and their visibility are much more important

If, on the other hand, you want to give a ring for your birthday, Christmas or to celebrate an event (or because you feel like it) you can opt for a cocktail ring. This choice, however, is very delicate. A cocktail ring does not have a classic style, like a diamond ring. Instead, they are fancy rings with a rather voluminous shape. Giving a ring like this also means knowing in depth the tastes of the woman who will wear it. In short, it is a risky choice but, certainly, a cocktail ring can be a very welcome gift. Provided you get the right choice.

The Jewelry of Kirat Young

The jewels of Kirat Young, former muse of Yves Saint Laurent who became designer ♦

Few have a history similar to that of Kirat Young. Born in India, New Delhi, she became the top model in Paris, Yves Saint Laurent’s muse, one of the favorites of stylist (the designer kept a photo of Kirat in his room). They were the seventies. Then, friendship with Oscar de la Renta arrived. Leaving the catwalk Kirat has turned to another type of luxury, that of jewelery. From his side is the knowledge of the glamorous world of fashion, but also the artistic tradition of his country of origin. The result is a kind of jewelery that reveals both of the souls of Kirat Young. Annette de la Renta, Oscar’s wife, was her first client. By word of mouth, Kirat Young has begun to draw and produce jewels. He designed cufflinks for Valentino, earrings for Tory Burch, which the designer wore for a service on Town & Country.

Jewelery is made in Thailand, as the designer’s main house is in Bangkok. But jewelery is sold in the boutiques of Oscar de la Renta, Switzerland, Gstaad and St. Moritz, and in Los Angeles. The style of jewelery signed by Kirat Young is varied. He used a lot of South Sea pearls when he was married to an Australian. It now composes its jewels mainly with precious and colored stones, silver, vermeil, gold.

The long road of Mauboussin

Anello in oro bianco con ametista e diamanti

Jewelery brands that can boast an age of nearly two centuries are rare. Mauboussin, a French jewelry company founded in 1827, is about to cross this prestigious milestone. It has maintained a strong presence in Paris for many decades and in the 1920s Georges Mauboussin was able to tune into the spirit of the time, with the creation of art deco style jewels, which have projected his Maison into the Olympus of the most famous jewelery. They were gorgeous jewels, made with jade, lapis lazuli, pearls and gold. A success that allowed the Maison, in 1946, to open a boutique in the prestigious Place Vendôme.

After the handover to his sons Alain and Patrick by Jean Goulet-Mauboussin, the Maison in 2002 passed to a new owner, Dominique Frémont, who injected 50 million and also opened the doors to watchmaking. Not only that, the new Mauboussin is no longer tuned to high jewelery, but to more accessible collections, with pieces that do not exceed 3-4 thousand euros, aimed at young, dynamic and active women. In short, today Mauboussin is more in line with the times, sells online, relies on marketing, and offers more immediately salable jewels.

High jewelry in 3D with Jaubalet

Published on July 18, 2021

news/ANELLI

High jewelry designed also thanks to 3D printers: it is Jaubalet’s idea to create custom necklaces, rings or bracelets ♦ ︎

London, 1 Berkeley Street, but also Place Vendôme, Paris, the home of luxury jewelers like Dior, Chanel, and Jaubalet. But the latter stands out from all the others: the jeweler based in London and Paris, in fact, has taken the road of bespoke jewels. The most surprising aspect is that it does so even with the help of 3D printing. For the uninitiated, 3D machines are printers that reproduce an entire object, rather than just drawing or photography. There are also bijoux made in 3D, but usually it is plastic.

Now, however, this technology is also used in the temple of jewelry, Place Vendôme. Of course, the jewels are not made of plastic: the 3D printer is used to create the models on which the craftsmen then make the real jewel. But it is a quantum leap in design. The jewels can be made to measure, or more simply personalized through the choice of different options directly on the internet, for example you can choose the type of stone or the gold color of a ring or a pair of earrings.

“I could not sign a check simply after looking at a picture on the internet,” explained a client of Jaubalet, Carine Pichon. «And if I buy something and then it’s not the size I want? If it is too big or too small? So I think that having something that is not the final product, but similar, when it comes to choosing size and shape, it is important to reassure customers that they are making the right choice “. Result: the customer, a month after her appointment with the 3D prototype, returned to take the finished jewelery and seemed satisfied. He bought a 6,000 euro diamond ring.

Thanks to a careful pricing policy, it seems that Jaubalet’s prices are up to 50% lower than the other big names who flock to the same square. “We have no showroom costs, all our products are made to order, so our prices are lower, more accessible, and we offer exceptional quality,” said Jaubalet’s commercial director Patrick Barruel a while ago to Euronews.

Even Gucci has decided that unisex is the password to enter the world of jewelry. Or, more precisely, to be in the trendy area of the jewelry world.

The collection is called Link to Love and is made of 18-karat yellow, white and pink gold, with the addition of pavé diamonds or small precious stones such as emeralds and rubies. For lovers of the brand, the jewelry line includes a variety of rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings that showcase the Gucci logo.

Necklaces, bracelets and earrings are composed of thin metal wires in the three colors of gold, and characterized by a thin bar, also with the word Gucci.

La composizione degli anelli in versione We

Marie Mas Paris is an innovative jewelry brand, which has focused on a kinetic style. Her jewels, in fact, have moving parts and make the object also a game. But now Marie Mas changes the game and presents a collection of unisex wedding rings. The collection is called U & I and was designed, like the others, by the founder of the Maison, Marie Cabirou. The game this time is all about the composition of the rings, which provide dynamic combinations of white gold, pink gold and yellow, in the glossy and matte finish. Not only that: to increase the number of variations, green, white or gray lacquer is also used.

Over the years I have truly felt the magic of working with bespoke clients pieces to celebrate their collaboration and mutual love. It is so important moment in a couple’s life, so I’ve decided it’s time to create a permanent line of wedding bands, in a gender neutral design. When the U and I rings are combined together, they form a We ring, which for me symbolizes the two people, who become one in their union to celebrate love for each other.
Marie Cabirou, founder and creative director of Marie Mas

The collection features a simple I band created in nine color and texture variations (glossy, matt, lacquered) and a double U-shaped band (in three colors of gold). Each band it can be worn alone or in combination in a «We» ring. In all, the choice is between 12 styles and 27 possible combinations.

The Gem Dior 2021 collection by Victoire de Castellane amazes those who expected from the artistic director of the Maison a jewelry line that is cousin to last year’s. But no, the designer has changed her feeling. And the surprise remained intact, because Victoire de Castellane’s inventiveness is always cheerful, despite the difficult times that the world has gone through in the last 12 months.

The jewels are inspired by the colorful fabric samples of Couture that the founder, Christian Dior, composed with elements asymmetrical and angular sections. The inspiration behind the collection, explained the creative director of Dior jewelry, comes from the way in which the founder of the Maison pinned fabric samples from his high fashion collections on pieces of paper, as well as from the natural and organic shape of stones, precious and raw minerals. The jewels are made in the three classic colors of gold, yellow, white and pink, with the addition of diamonds. But there is also a version that adds a touch of color, with the use of stone inserts such as malachite, lapis lazuli, carnelian, brown tiger’s eye, turquoise or chrysoprase. In addition to the jewels, there are also precious bracelets-watches, always in the same style as the collection.

The journey of Garaude: the jewelry of a French through the trails that lead to the east, until to Japan.

Garaude, the French jewelry more easygoing, not close but not far from Place Vendome presents its specialty: the jewelry with colored stones and fantasy Latin. It all started with a trip in the seventies of François Garaude in Brazil, as a student of architecture and keen sailor. But the music and the colors of Salvador de Bahia, the native sculpture, and emerald mines they changed his life. Another trip to the US has served to learn the basics of gemology and jewelery techniques.

Ten years later, Garaude has returned to France to work with some great Maison, thanks also to its fine search in the Asian markets stones: rubies, sapphires, jade also in different shades, a stone that still loves today not only in the classic green tone imperial, but also white, gray, black, lavender. Instead of 50 shades of gray, he has collected the 42 shades of the spinel, from red to orange, pink to purple. After so much experience and work, in 2010 he founded his Maison Garaude (with the help of Jeanne’s daughter). The ring Byzantium or the collection dedicated to the Japanese artist Hokusai testify ancestries refined, a style between East and West, an original design. And the journey of designer is continuing.

A super ring for Valentine’s Day. But not only: Messika has prepared her high jewelry for the longest day of lovers. But there is no doubt that the shiniest piece of the Maison founded by Valérie Messika is the Toi et Moi ring with its 7 and 3-carat heart-cut asymmetrical diamonds. The pair of diamonds is of a different color, fancy yellow and pink: two shades that are rare individually, but are even more exclusive when mounted in pairs on a ring and, moreover, with the rare heart cut. In short, a uncommon jewel.

The ring goes well with one of Messika’s most successful collections: My Twin. This collection, in fact, has been designed to unite opposites (as happens in couples). The jewels use, in fact, delicate but sensual pear cut stones, together with others with emerald cut. The two diamonds are used both for rings of the Toi et Moi type, and for earrings and necklaces. A high-end jewelry that seems to have been designed especially for Valentine’s Day.

There is gold among Christofle’s silver

Enter a silverware shop, famous for its silver, and go out with a gold ring. It has been possible for some time if the store is part of the French chain Christofle. The Maison founded by Charles Christofle, which has its workshops in Yainville, Normandy, is best known for household items, from cutlery to vases. But it has also been active for a long time in the jewelry sector, where it has repeatedly presented new collections with a strong aptitude for modern design.

One of his classic collections, for example, is Idole. The jewels are played on the geometric figure of the circle: alongside the silver line, however, in this collection there are also rings and pendants in white or pink gold and diamonds. Not only that: semi-precious stones have also appeared alongside silver, such as rhodochrosite, rose quartz, amethyst and topaz.

In short, the collection marks an innovation for this company that makes tradition its flag: the Maison was the “king’s goldsmith” in 1844 for King Louis Philippe, and then for the Emperor Napoleon III. Today it counts on with 51 own stores on five continents.

Day & Night. It doesn’t matter at what time, in short, just leave behind the problems and anxieties that (especially in this period) crowd the mind. And there is nothing better than a beautiful jewel to return to serenity. Tatiana Verstraeten is a talented and young designer who in a short time has climbed the heights of jewelry, to open her atelier in the cathedral of luxury, that is Place Vendôme, in Paris. Her new collection, Day & Night takes as its model the two symbols of the mirror parts of the day: the sun and the moon. Inspired by the two astronomical subjects are a series of rings and earrings, which seem embroidered in the light.

Anelli Lun
The jewels are in white gold, or yellow and pink, with diamonds that reach up to half a carat, therefore bright like small stars (or like the moon if you prefer the night). The Sol ring and the Luna ring (ie moon), for example, were designed to mate. The designer has designed the latter for «a strong, elegant, rock n'roll young woman, and declined in pavé or with a beautiful solitaire diamond».
[caption id= — Anelli Sol e Luna

Tatiana Verstraeten, from Belgium, rediscovered her passion for design after a Masters in Business Management and Finance at the Solvay Business School in Brussels and in London. She then moved to Paris where she worked for Maison Michel. She then met the designer Anthony Vacarello, worked at Chanel with Karl Lagerfeld, who influenced her way of creating jewelry. She opened her boutique in January 2019 but is already celebrated as a star of the new jewelry.

The boot-shaped rings of Maison Margiela

Published on August 5, 2020

Argento/vetrina/ANELLI

There are many fashion brands that occasionally extend their proposal to jewelry. Usually these are fashion jewelry, that is, undemanding jewelery, as in the case of the Maison Margiela. The founder, the Belgian designer Martin Margiela, is considered a reference name in the field of avant-garde fashion. So even the novelties in jewelry arouse some interest. For example, Maison Margiela recently proposed a series of unisex jewels that recall one of the iconic products of the brand: the Tabi boots.

Presented in 1989, these boots slip on like gloves that separate the toes into two parts. Inspired by this item of clothing are the sterling silver rings, also available in a gold-plated version, which stand out for the slit inspired by Tabi boots. The rings are made in Italy and can be purchased online at a price of around $ 340. But, in addition to these unisex accessories, Maison Margiela also offers less whimsical jewels dedicated specifically to the female audience.

According to French designer Aurélie Bidermann there is no limit to wearing jewelry. In short, it is not true that elegance is minimal. It is the maximum, instead. Follow instinct and desires. With the pleasure of being terribly happy for your choices. The French designer, 16 years after the debut of her brand, continues to be a case in itself. She once told of wearing nine bracelets on the left, three on the right and many pendants hanging on a chain around her neck. And even her jewelry collections are three steps beyond the average standard.

But, next to this, Aurélie also loves walking in the woods, the North Sea, the South Sea, the sea in general. And the world of animals, as evidenced by the numerous jewels that are inspired by huge or tiny fauna. Like the Indian bridal pendant in 18-carat solid yellow gold with 57 multi-colored sapphires, 25 rubies and 20 diamonds on an 18-centimeter hammered 18-carat yellow gold chain. Or the ladybug-shaped rings, the beetle, snail earrings. In short, many animals, even if the small zoo of Aurélie Bidermann is only a part of its production.

Anello Quatre di Boucheron in oro rosa, bianco, giallo e diamanti

Four, perfect number. But wasn’t it the number three or seven? Not for Boucheron, which launched Quatre 16 years ago, a line of jewelry that is designed by combining four different styles together. To be precise, these are Grosgrain, line of Diamonds, Double Godron and Clou de Paris. The result was innovative: single layer, multilayer, sober or dramatic, classic or surprisingly unusual. Concept declined on rings, bracelets or necklaces.

Now Boucheron renews the Quatre line. Tie necklace, small size (classic and white), thanks to the flexibility of its central motif, which is both a pendant and a closure, is very versatile and can be worn as a tie, a long necklace or a middle ground between the one and the other. It is available in a classic or white ceramic version and the motif can be moved along the soft gold chain to the point you want most.

With Tie necklace, medium size (classic), the jewel clasp can be fixed at will along the gold chain. It can be pushed upwards, or downwards, in front or worn on the back. It is quite long: it measures 75 centimeters and therefore allows you to create many variations and motifs as if you were wearing multiple necklaces together.

The bracelet brings together the distinctive codes of the Quatre collection in a circle with a contemporary design. Four strong lines (yellow gold, rose gold, brown Pvd graphic and a sparkling diamond) that can be added to other bracelets. The hoop earrings are made up of a rose gold line, a yellow gold line and diamonds highlighted even more by an unprecedented white ceramic line.
