The two Mystery of Jacob & Co.

Published on March 30, 2017

Mystery of Muzo, two exceptional Jacob & Co bracelets with two as much exceptional emeralds.
The mysteries, sometimes, it is better not reveal them. But other times the best thing to do is watch them closely. This is the case of Mystery of Muzo, presented at Baselworld by Jacob & Co. The two bracelets are characterized with two emeralds pear cut (quite unusual), of 74.33 carats and 70.57 carats. They are Colombian stones (Muzo is the name of the company which extracts the stones in the mine), vivid color, which make more fascinating the Mystery. The Geneva Maison says that to make the two bracelets it took two years.
In adding to the exceptional stones, bracelets show a geometric pattern made with black spinel cut by hand on 18 carat white gold. Needless to say that the bracelets are exceptional pieces, not only for their art-deco-inspired, but also for the 118.13-carat brilliant cut diamonds that wrap around the edges of each cuff, like rays that come from the top of the two emeralds. About the two Mystery it remains just a mystery: who will be able to purchase these memorable pieces of fine jewelry? Giulia Netrese

Anticipation: in September the Swarovski jewelry designed by Karl Lagerfeld.
For now not much is known. At Baselworld, though, Swarovski has anticipated what will be the work of Karl Lagerfeld for the Austrian Maison. The partnership includes a first collection bijoux affordable, between 50 and 250 euro. The collection consists of three lines of jewelry: Ikonic, who is inspired by a rock-chic, with chains, pendants and earrings.

The second jewelry line is, however, Klassic Karl, who uses the signature of the creator and the silhouette of his cat, Choupette. The third line is, instead, Essentials, which should be the one positioned higher. Currently there are only two pictures, one of which is posted on Instagram, about the new collections. Note that the brand Karl Lagerfeld belongs to an investment private equity fund, Apax Partners, and is used for its network of retail outlets, either mono or multi-brand, 80 stores around the world. The stores will probably distribute the jewelry-fashion. Lavinia Andorno

The Baroque echoes of Barbara Haas

Anello dedicato ai 250 anni di Pforzheim

Between Florence, Baroque and Expressionism: the works of German designer Barbara Haas.
Nobles and British and German artists nineteenth century went down to southern, in Italy, for the Grand Tour: a long trip that served to broaden the culture and experiences. Italy still has a special fascination for many Nordic countries, in particular those involved in jewelry. The German designer Barbara Haas is one of these. She attended and graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and, perhaps not secondary, she is married to an Italian. But, probably, it have been the cultural layers of the city to stay more imprinted in the mind of Barbara Haas.
When she returned in Germany and established in the jewelry cot, Pforzheim, the designer began to develop and produce jewelry that remember, with their processing, Renaissance and Baroque motifs: flowers, cherubs, ringlets are made of silver and colored lacquers. It also uses the technique of filigree, another classic of Italian jewelery. But not only. She divides her time with the sculpture, realizes statues and works in wood, bronze or stone. Although in this case the Florentine school seems combined with the Expressionist, which is born in Germany. Lavinia Andorno

Bracciale in oro rosa con elementi scorrevoli anulari in oro e diamanti della collezione Nebula

New jewelry by Mattia Cielo are inspired by the sky with Sole and Nebula.
First there were the Armadillo, the Vulcan, the Peacock. What could be inspired by one of the most innovative Italian designer, Mattia Cielo? In a way at BaselWorld 2017 he presented something that is inspired to himself, or rather to the sky (cielo in italian language). Two novelties are constituted, in fact, from Nebula (the word means cloud in latin language) and Sole (sun). And so, two elements that dominate the sky.
As in the past, the image of Mattia Cielo creations was entrusted Fred Leveugle, one of the photographers most smart, who played much on the contrast of light and shadow. And as in the past, the new proposals of the Vicenza jewelery play both on the level of form, and on that of the invention, which does not forget the technological challenge. Nebula, for example, reaches the goal of producing reflections and lightness with the use of materials such as titanium and carbon, next to the classic diamond and white gold. The Sole collection, however, focuses on the movement of the elements that compose it: it is made of white and pink gold, softened by rounded edges that multiply the reflections, while the movable component is both a rectangular paved diamond or a single diamond.

Double surprise at Baselworld

Baselworld 2017 has a century old and shows two surprises: the area Les Ateliers and Design Lab.
Official opening of Baselworld, which celebrates a century. In 1917 he debuted with 29 watch companies. Today, manufacturers are present timepiece 220. In addition, there is all the jewelry industry. But the centennial birthday is also celebrated in a not propitious moment from the point of view of the market. “It was difficult 12 months and forced some traders to abandon the watch industry and jewelery,” admits Sylvie Ritter, managing director of Baselworld. For this reason, the fair will be transformed. “This transformation process will always prefer quality over quantity. The proof is that for this edition we have decided to reject some exhibitors. It is a choice, our choice,”she announced. Words that have surprised many. In any case, we could understand, it was the exhibition space wider to create new opportunities. “In particular, these adaptations have allowed us to offer to the independent watchmakers, recently placed at the Palace, an area of first choice in Hall 1. By creating this space, we called Les Ateliers, we have been able to meet growing demand of this sector, “said Ritter. She has also unveiled another novelty: the Design Lab. “This space dedicated to designer, active primarily in the field of jewelery, presents innovative unique and cutting edge creations.” In short, space for quality jewelry and new, previously had no access to the very high organizational costs, at Baselworld. Of course, the move is very reminiscent of The Design Room, the area set up in the January edition of VicenzaOro.
It seems, however, it’s watch industry that suffered more. According to François Thiébaud, president of Swiss exhibitors, in 2016 the Swiss watch exports fell by 9.88% compared to 2015, although the last quarter has been a slight improvement.

The Paradise of Marco Bicego is expanding with aquamarines of Africa and Brazil.
Marco Bicego scale even the steps leading to Paradise. But, in this case, the Paradise is on the Earth, the sea. Or, better, the Mare Nostrum, as the ancient Romans called it, ie the Mediterranean. From these two concepts: that is, the Paradise collection, which is one of the flagships of the Venetian designer, and the charm of the waves lapping on Italy, comes the new line christened at Baselworld 2017, Paradise Aquamarine.

The yellow gold, as in the other lines of the collection, is used in thin braids that unite the stones, in this case in unique shades of blue, but with different shades. The aquamarine used, in fact, comes both from Brazil and Africa and has subtle differences. More particularly: the stones have a specific facet by tabeez cutting (that is, similar to a pear cut, but more rounded), and the milky effect makes variable the aesthetic effect, with different shades between a aquamarine and the other.

Bayco is a jewelry brand founded in New York in 1981 by brothers Moris and Giacomo Hadjibay, of Iranian origin. The two brothers, after spending their youth and apprenticeship in Italy, where they worked with his father Amir Hadjibay, expert and dealer in gems, have decided to launch its own brand in New York. With the experience accumulated in the family as part of the precious stones, the idea was quickly to create unique pieces, jewelry which put at the center rubies, emeralds, diamonds or sapphires. Bayco is now an established name of high jewelery and his pieces are required in markets around the world, partly because the traditional activities in the field of gems has not been abandoned.
The jewels, in short, are made as of the shape and specificity of the stones even before an abstract design. Examples are the ones chosen to Baselworld. The Burmese sapphire is out of the ordinary: it weighs 60 carats, has pan cutting sugar, and stands atop a ring paved with diamonds. The sapphire upper part is detachable from the ring and can be used as a pendant on a necklace. The ruby on ring, Burmese natural, unheated and extremely rare of this size, has a double row of pear-shaped colorless diamond weighing 14 carats total. It is considered by Bayco one of the most important gems in the world. Alessia Mongrando

Poem Vera, says the company, was founded in London in 1916. He was a laboratory specializing in the manufacture of products made of precious metals, especially jewelry, watches, or leather goods. Now Poem Vera London, as its claim, it’s still based in Britain, in Cardiff, but is owned by a company based in Beijing, where, in fact, the company works. From this British outfit with Chinese hat develops jewelry Poem Vera, also present at Baselworld. Forms like the lotus flower, which is notoriously difficult to find on the banks of the Thames, or the Australian boomerang, are borrowed for jewelry offered by the brand. Among all, though, stands the Midas Touch necklace, which is part of the collection Happiness, with pearls and rubies: also this has very little spirit of London, but instead recalls an Indian mandala. One more reason to meditate on this Sino-British alliance. Alessia Mongrando

Green light by Officina Bernardi at Baselworld: among the novelties there is the Vera collection.
Green is not just the color of hope and grass, but also the hue that Pantone has elected queen for 2017. It is not strange, then, that many collections of jewelry this year are tuned to the color of meadows and leaves. This is the case, for example, of Officina Bernardi, which shows at Baselworld a collection with this color. The hope, it’s the right word, is to getting it right with a real novelty. One of the collections of the spring summer is called, precisely, Vera (real). But it does not refer to the color, as to the true «sensuality, elegance, passion of the woman and the made-in-Italy». Yellow gold and semiprecious stones are the ingredients of the collection, enlivened by the brightness of the Moon little balls: name that probably indicates a diamondized process, that is achieved with a machine and a particular metal processing that makes it especially bright. In addition to the yellow gold 18 carat, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings include stones such as amethyst, green onyx yellow agate, blue, red, citrine, olive, smoky, sapphire and topaz.

The favorite collections of Valerie Messika, the Parisian designer queen of diamonds.
Messika, French company dedicated to the cult of diamonds, returns to Baselworld with his fine and high jewelry. Obvious: Valerie Messika, who continues his father’s work André, is certainly not the only one to grapple with diamond jewelry. However, if the history of the Parisian jewelery brand continues since 1972 there is a reason: the absolute quality in the choice of stones, especially the cut, and a surprising originality in the creations, while remaining in a classical realm. With this philosophy that combines a very modern design, with an enhancement of the traditional creativity, Messika has built its reputation. Not by chance has extensive adhesion between actresses, singers and top models. For example, even if the diamond is the king of the house, the House does not deal to propose the classic solitaire. He prefers to focus on original forms, such as the Move collection, which has become a sort of flag: the diamonds are mobile within the golden rails. This combination is adopted for one or three diamonds for rings, necklaces and bracelets. It is also one of the lines proposed for 2017 in the new advertising campaign starring the model Lena Perminova. Lavinia Andorno

The Philo brand was born in Milan (we have already spoken here) and is not the classic fruit of goldsmith tradition, but a product designed by Gubo study , specializing in fashion design and luxury accessories and already creator of brands like Opsobjects, other ready-to-wear costume jewelery. As means the name of the brand, Philo, the jewels are born from a particular craft process, with “a special alloy of gold, a spinning process that goes through several stages of processing.” The gold is 9 carats. It is created by melting the metal groove, which is still hot and malleable worked in the mill up to the square cross section of 1 mm side, through two annealing, and eight rolling passes. At the end of the technical explanation is obtained by a gold wire of 0.6 mm in diameter. At the wire, Philo, you can attach charms, in the form of small round stones or of silhouettes with the most disparate shapes. Prices are those of jewels, from 45 € for a pendant, up to 139 euro for the wire bracelet with small amethyst. It’s coming there is also a line with bracelets covered with leather at a price of 99 euro. Alessia Mongrando
