Collier a forma di pugnale arrotolato, oro bianco e diamanti

Jacob & Co celebrates its 30th anniversary. The brand of jewelry and high-end watches, in fact, was founded by Jacob Arabo in 1986. It is now present in 20 countries. He arrived in the US at 14 years old, but when he was 17 had already opened his own workshop (only in the US can happen this). Initially he produced for others famous Maison, then he began offering jewelry under its own brand. Its flagship store is still in New York. At Baselworld the brand has unveiled a super clock, that has received a wow from the most experienced : it is called Astronomy Sky, and has a heavenly dial that rotates once in a sidereal year, the actual time it takes the Earth to make one complete rotation around the sun in relation to the fixed stars. Apart from this, the stand was manned by four models which wore the new jewelry: necklaces and bracelets in the shape of snake, but in unusual colors white, green and yellow gold, and jewelry whit rose gold and diamonds. Least but not last, a necklace in white gold and diamond dagger-shaped: a jewel that can really hit. Lavinia Andorno

Baselworld: Zaha Hadid for Jensen

Published on
Bracciale disegnato da Zaha Hadid per Georg Jensen

Bring together a master of Danish design, Georg Jensen, an international star of architecture, the Iranian architect Zaha Hadid. The result is a marriage celebrated at Baselworld. A professional marriage, mind you, signed with a collection of jewelry designed by Zaha Hadid, who to better emphasize the novelty has also designed the pavilion housing the Danish brand to the international jewelery fair. And the shape of the space is similar to the style with which it conceived the jewelry collection: many blades aligned to form waves, sine waves, shimmering metal parables. The sculptural shapes and curves are made from silver and black rhodium with diamonds blacks. If you like the design and you want to rush to buy the pieces of Georg Jensen jewelry collection and Zaha Hadid, however, you’ll have to wait until September. Prices range from $ 500 to $ 25,000. The collection will be on sale in Georg Jensen boutique including the London flagship store in Mount Street, which opened last fall. Giulia Netrese

Baselworld goes with selection

Published on
Lo stand di Pasquale Bruni

Sound the trumpets: it’s time to Baselworld 2016, the leading trade fair for watches and jewelery. The envoys of Gioiellis.com will tell you the news (we have already started, in fact). As for the jewelry, the world market continues to believe that a diamond (or a ring, a necklace, a pair of earrings) is forever, provided it is of good quality. The watches, however, suffer, but not for DST fault. The Swiss watch industry saw exports declined by 3.3% to 21.5 billion Swiss francs in 2015. And although we must remember that from 2010 to 2015, sales have increased by 20%, the smartwatch today, as AppleWatch, attract many customers at the expense of traditional watches. The jewelry, instead, are loved because they keep their traditional physical characteristics, if not aesthetic ones.
In any case, the MCH Group (which organizes Baselworld) today celebrates the hundredth anniversary of his first salon, Mustermesse Basel (Muba) and the CEO, René Kamm has claimed direct descent. Sylvie Ritter, managing director of Baselworld, in front of some 3,000 journalists who have followed live the press conference, claimed responsibility for the uniqueness of the event: “For eight days the Baselworld year become the world’s watchmaking industry hub and jewelry, which is to take the pulse of his activities.” The manager also admitted that, as stated in the official statement, Baselworld had sensed the uncertainty of some exhibitors, mainly among small and medium-sized businesses, the less prepared to cope with a drop in demand in the medium term. The result is that “almost all” of the previous year’s exhibitors are present at this new edition. Among the defections it is hard not to notice a group like LVMH, for example. Of course, the slowdown of the Chinese economy, the fall in oil prices and stagnation in Europe and Japan do not help to increase spending. Moreover, since Baselworld always focuses more on luxury, it was also increased the cost to get a space in the fair. And that has cut off, or at least discouraged many exhibitors, especially the jewelry. So if in 2010 the companies present were about 2,000, brands now have dropped to 1500. But the descent, according to the organization, is a planned selection. After all, Switzerland is a paradise of organization. Monica Battistoni

Collana di perle dei Mari del Sud, oro, diamanti

In Baselworld 2016 Mikimoto is a regular guest. The Japanese king of pearls, since 1996 has never missed an edition of the largest Swiss trade fair for watches and jewelery. And often he managed to amaze with his creations: although the Pearl is associated in popular a type of traditional jewelery, Mikimoto was able to transform this fruit of shells and sea in a surprising element. Kokichi Mikimoto this year proposes a now classic combination of gold, diamonds and pearls. In this case, the South Sea pearls. The designer’s motto is “East meets West”. Marriage, as you can see from these first pictures, is sumptuous: necklaces with gold beads a crown of diamonds were assembled as a garland or necklace with a bow and tassels diamond in a style that recalls the traditional Japan.

The Renaissance of Alessio Boschi

Published on

Mark this name: Alessio Boschi. You will hear about him: in the area of jewelry he’s already known for years. But, before you hear about him, look in these photos the extraordinary work he does, and read his story, it’s worth it. Because Alessio Boschi is an artist of the jewel, an uncommon creative, a fusion cuisine’s five star chef applied to gems and gold. His unique pieces, well finished and more, are at once an indictment to the establishment of the jewelry. For two reasons: the first one is that the work of Alessio Boschi opens up a prevailing conformism, even in fine jewelery. The second one is that he, Italian born and graduated in Rome, prides itself on using Asian craftsmanship «and believe me, there are works are almost impossible to get in Italy on grounds of cost and because they are relatively new», explains Alessio to Gioiellis. «One of these is the bazel setting in microscope with tiny stones that blend in different shadows of color: in Bangkok there is an excellent manufacture with more than twenty years of experience. In short, only in Asia there are so skilled artisans in this kind of job. Let’s be clear: I am not the only one. In fact, all the big names in jewelry, both Italian, and French and American, have produced in Asia at least part of their jewels. Only there they do not say it. Of course, in Italy there are others excellent, for example, there are engravers who perform millimetre fissures in the stone to enter a gold leaf so that the stone preserves its transparency: instead of covering the stone he works from the inside. So for the flowering Wisteria necklace, I had the milky aquamarine cut in petals in Bangkok, and then in Italy I had the gold foliage».

Tous ok at Baselworld

Published on

It is not true that Baselworld is a fair reserved only to the jewelry of the highest level, as demonstrated by the first presence of Tous. The Spanish brand of jewelry, this year took part, in fact, as an exhibitor with its collections. Her jewelry (https://gioiellis.com/tous-per-dire-miami/) goes more to innovation and design that the carat of stones and metals. The brand was founded in 1920, but under the guidance of Rosa Oriol and Salvador Tous has extended his lines with handbags, perfumes, watches, sunglasses and accessories, in an affordable luxury. And after Vicenza Fair, to say the company, Basel also has produced some results: the presence “has resulted in the signing of agreements to increase the number of outlets in a variety of international markets”, tells the Spanish group. According to Rosa Tous, corporate vice president of the brand, “as jewelry company and global multi-category, we saw this as a great opportunity to present our products to affordable luxury at the fair more international industry. We are very pleased with the warm welcome we received from jewelry and watches professionals, as this helps us to move forward in our plan for growth and expansion.” Tous is in Italy too, but now is expanding in Asia and the Middle East, the United States and South America. But not only that: “Our products are sold on five continents in almost 500 shops, some of them in new markets like Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, New Zealand and Angola”, said Rosa Tous. Federico Graglia

Russia effect at Baselworld 2015

Published on
Baselworld 2015

How was Baselworld 2015? It’s time to statement. In aid, to draw conclusions about the health of the world of watches and jewelry, there are the numbers provided by Mch, the company that organizes the most important exhibition in the world dedicated to the precious. Result: the week of the fair (19 to 26 March) has brought a lot of reporters in Basel (4300, +7.5%) but a little ‘less buyers (-3%). In short, a lot of media coverage, thanks to the excellent organization of the fair, but also a picture of what is the world economy, with countries such as Russia that have disappeared almost from circulation, because of international tensions. In the end, however, the decline of 3% is overall content. The exhibitors were 1,500, and about 150 thousand visitors (including consideration of agents, exhibitors and experts) from a hundred different countries. “I am convinced that this will be a good year for the industry, since all operators have continued to innovate, not only creating new products, but also by improving communication with the media and buyers,” is the comment of François Thiébaud, President Committee of the Swiss exhibitors. We can record also more positive comments: Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, co-president of Chopard, “Baselworld remains the top event of the year, as it allows us to meet our major customers, come from the four corners of the world, and work together with them. Our meetings with the press are just as important and continue to increase every year. ” And for Thierry Stern, president of Patek Philippe, in Baselworld you can concentrate meetings with all our partners and the entire worldwide network. And this year’s edition has been excellent, both in terms of figures that the interest shown by the traders and the press in respect of our products.” Goodbye to Baselworld 2016. Federico Graglia

A 40 million Fascination

Published on

Versatile, whimsical, very expensive: there are many wow jewels in Baselworld, but Fascination by Graff Diamonds is one of the most outstanding pieces. It is not only a bracelet, it is not only a watch, it is not only a ring, but all these three things together. And it is also one of the most expensive transformable jewels, since it costs $ 40 million (about 38 million euro). The highlight of the bracelet, encrusted with white diamonds for 152.96 carats, is a stone of  38.13 carat pear shaped, D Flawless classified, the highest rating possible in terms of color and clarity, which means it is a pure colorless diamond, no internal or external inclusions. Thanks to extremely sophisticated internal mechanisms, the stone can be removed of the armband and setting on a ring. Fascination is the most dramatic demonstration of diamonds mastery of the London jeweler , but there is another jewel three-in-one that caused the admiration of visitors: the single or double brooch that hides under the sapphires tassels a precious diamond-studded dial . The watch is suspended from a chain of platinum and surrounded by sapphires beads for a total of 330 carats and rows of white diamonds for a total of 40 carats. M.d.B.

A outline has been traced by René Kamm, Ceo of Mch Group, the company that organizes the Basel Fair. The event has been opened with pride of the MCH Group, as demonstration of such a wide resonance of Baselworld: the city welcomes the most important trade fair announcing the trends of the creators. He then expressed his gratitude to Sylvie Ritter and his team to “be able once more to meet the needs of the market and the industry and to conceive a living unmatched able to shine in the world.” The Fair has a leadership, according to Sylvie Ritter, Managing director of Baselworld: “This position envied and enviable must be defended vigorously.

It’s time to Baselworld

Published on

Baselworld comes back, it’s the biggest event in the world dedicated to jewelry and watches. Visitors are expected 150 thousand, including 4 thousand journalists (even those of Gioiellis, of course), to identify the new products presented by 1,500 brands from 40 countries spread over 141 thousand square meters of exhibition. The fair is also a big business: according to the director of Baselworld, Sylvie Ritter, the event generates “800 thousand nights spent in Switzerland during the event, 13 thousand jobs across the country, and moves a turnover of 2.4 billion Swiss francs”. The Basel area has benefits from the trade show with 6,500 jobs and revenues of 1.2 billion francs, she said.

In addition to manufacturers of watches, Baselworld is also home to major players in the field of diamonds, pearls and precious stones, the machine suppliers and subcontractors. Here too there are news: for example, at fair you can visit the British company Cooksongold, that presents a 3D printer specially built for the production of gold jewelry. The printer M 080 promises to make jewelry with complex designs, which until now it could not realize due the difficulties in traditional production. The jewels are made layer by layer, with the merger of thin metal powder and a laser. In this way a jewel complex can be manufactured in a few hours.

In short, Baselworld is an event not to be missed. Some of the changes Gioiellis has just published, but there will be others to discover. But if the jewelry market seems to go through a period of reasonably good health, there’s some more problems for the one of the clocks. The markets of Germany, French and Russia are estimated to decline. In addition, the revaluation of about 25% of the Swiss franc is probably can damage on producers of the Swiss Confederation. Sales are better, however, in the United States, Japan, South Korea and the Middle East, although the decline of oil could soon curb it. “The Swiss watch industry is not in crisis, but we lack the visibility,” explained at Les Temps the President of the Fédération de l’industrie horlogère suisse (FH) Jean-Daniel Pasche. On the watches market, in addition, lies with the cyclone Apple Watch: can the smart electronic device depress sales of traditional watches? At Baselworld, perhaps, you will find an answer.

The flower as a word in the universal language, images of spring and beauty. An eternal symbol of the soul, in this collection its precious petals unfold as if to open up to a dialogue of intense, joyous emotions. Represented by a very up-to-date design, the flower expresses the authenticity of knowing how to surprise and how to enhance, the spring, love, harmony and the continual rebirth of life and hope” are the words of Leopoldo Poli.

From the center is pending a faceted morganite drop cut of 4.46 carat. Chandelier earrings follow the same floral pattern with 348 diamonds, 42 pink sapphires and two faceted morganite drop cut.

First highlights from Baselworld: dutch brand Ti Sento (italian name, but headquarters in Amsterdam) is inspired by the concept of light, colors and textures. Surfaces have been used as transparent, crossed by lines in pavé. Stones in shades of blue sky and green light are set in Sterling Silver Rhodium jewels, sometime with rose gold plating to 18 carats. Here’s the first shot of the collection. G.N.
