Paul Wild, the gems are free





The extraordinary combinations with the stones designed by Paul Wild for Baselworld 2019 ♦ ︎

Baselworld is not only a great opportunity to observe watches and, above all, magnificent jewels. But without magnificent stones there would not exist much of the magnificent jewels. Here, then, the exceptional stones of Paul Wild, a fixed presence in Baselworld. Unlike other companies specializing in the sale of precious and semi-precious stones, Paul Wild makes his business an art. He interprets the stones, in short, and every year he orders them according to new sources of inspiration, with an ear that listen the influences of fashion. For example, anticipates the German Maison, the shades for spring 2019 are the red and orange shades. But the desire for a life that follows a more natural rhythm remains present. Not to mention the blue color, which is associated with other aspects of life: stability, trust, truth, faith, loyalty, wisdom, trust. From these considerations Paul Wild has composed three key chromatic themes for 2019: Bright Sight of Light, Abundance of Nature, Liaison de Couleurs.

Bright Sight of Light

This trend is inspired by the Pantone color for 2019, Living Coral. Paul Wild translates the concept with African tourmalines and golden yellow beryl from Brazil. Stones that can make up a necklace, a ring and earrings, in a suite of 71 gems for a total of 176.74 carats. The necklace radiates from a 39.4-carat golden beryl gold cabochon, with four cascading tiers of pear-shaped tourmalines in a mix of sizes and shades, pink to purple. “We chose this theme to express the spirit of Living Coral, which is radiant and joyful,” says CEO, Markus Paul Wild. A 22,01 carat cushioned tourmaline is chosen for the ring and 10 pear-shaped tourmalines in increasing sizes and color saturation are in the layout to match dangling earrings (10.05 total weight in carats).

Abundance of Nature

Chromatic trends closely aligned with nature have predominantly green and blue hues. Green is the universal symbol of nature, health. Blue is the color of the sky and the sea. With these images, Paul Wild assembled a vivid green-blue Paraiba tourmaline suite from Mozambique, consisting of a cluster ring and earrings totaling 77.32 carats and a teardrop necklace totaling 146.61 carats, with 63 stones in the set. A suite of beryls and tourmalines, 104 pieces for a total of 407.42 carats, is also part of this line. Like the droplets of water on the petals, the necklace, the earrings and the arrangement of the rings includes 195.30 carats of briolettes of aquamarine, 68.09 carats of morganite and 144.03 carats of Afghan tourmaline. A magnificent necklace of 109 pear-shaped Ceylon sapphires includes a total of 154.25 carats, with a range of colors ranging from blue to green to yellow and pink and all other imaginative colors.

The water features by Alessio Boschi

There is all spirit of the Roman Baroque in Alessio Boschi necklace, dedicated to Piazza Navona. We saw it in Basel among Paraiba tourmalines, emeralds and white diamonds that evoke water features, palladium and gold rose that shape mythological figures. The jewel is an architectural and iconographic map, from small details, such as the rectangular plaque hanging from clasp which is like the square commissioned by Pope Innocent X, the area formerly occupied by the Emperor Domitian stadium.

The three blue baguette symbolize the three fountains, but also the three lilies of the Pamphili’s arms, the Pope’s family. On the right, after a succession of concave emeralds Zambia, Mozambique Paraiba tourmalines, white diamonds, here are the Tritons of the Moro’s Fountain, the one who is taming a dolphin and those with shell horns from which flows water. All figures are in palladium 950, and rose gold plated to bring out the plasticity of modeling, such as the mermaid and the god Neptune, the namesake fountain, represented on the left side. But it is in everything that revolves around the imposing Paraiba tourmaline 80.5 carat and cut into pillow, where the spirit of Woods coincides perfectly with the definition of the Baroque given by the historian Bruno Zevi: a free spirit and a creative attitude. Plus the overwhelming imagination of an artist jeweler like Boschi.

In fact, the composition revolves around the characteristics of transparency, the stone and the choice to build a narration even on the back of the gem: held by four figures who personify the four rivers of the homonymous fountain in the center of the square. Between the Nile, Ganges, Danube and Rio de la Plata, the frame is engraved on the green background water of tourmaline with the shape of the obelisk, that in reality dominates the sculptural complex surrounded by lilies and a palm, elements of the Pamphili arms. In the same collection, inspired by the fountains, there is a ring with an extraordinary beryl  as color and sheen and the Paraiba tourmalines degrade to represent the water foam. Two sculptural compositions, to see the wow effect look at them on Valeria Boschi. Monica Battistoni

You will not find in the catalog Gucci these three pieces of fine jewelry: the Italian brand of the group Kering realizes this set only on request. But look at it does not cost anything. The set includes necklace, bracelet and earrings. The jewelry are made with gold, diamonds, and a variety of beryl eliodoro (a stone that in the blue version is called aquamarine). It is a stone of dark yellow, with golden reflections. A choice that helps to make it even hotter the set of jewels. The shapes of the three pieces are geometrical and the center of the necklace is a stone from 36.2 carats of square-shaped, with one side, two white diamonds. The earrings are composed of a cascade of 100 white diamonds, ending two gems from 17.2 carats of beryl, faceted to increase the brightness. A good example of elegance combined with luxury. M.d.B.
