Chantecler Suamèm again




Chantecler renews the classic Suamèm collection ♦︎

Neapolitans are known to be creative. There is no more imaginative and witty language than that spoken by those born under Vesuvius. An example is the Suamèm collection by Chantecler, a brand born in Capri, the island just in front of the Neapolitan city. Suamèm, in fact, is the transcription in the Neapolitan language (language, not dialect) of the French soi-même, that is oneself. It is an invitation not to hide one’s personality. Suamèm is one of the classic collections that have created the success of Chantecler but which now, in the year in which the Maison turns 70, is renewed with other jewels.

The style is inspired by the seventies, with yellow gold pieces now reworked in 18-karat yellow gold in irregularly sized links. Over time, the collection has shrunk to just four classic pieces: bracelet, necklace, ring and earrings. They are classic jewels, but at the same time unusual, high-end, with a strong connotation of design, but without forgetting portability.

A Marea of high jewelery with Gismondi 1754




With the warm season temperatures rise, we return to the sea. And, to stay on the subject, those who love high jewelery can admire the new Marea (tide) range by Gismondi 1754. On the other hand, the Maison is based in Genoa, a seafaring city and its managing director, Massimo Gismondi, loves the sea, so much so that together with Marea he launched the Vela collection. The jewels of the Marea line are top of the range. The highlight is the bracelet in white gold, diamonds and tanzanites. The ideal connection with the concept of tide is immediately clear, with the gems that recall the waves, while the diamond embroidery symbolizes the foam that forms with the refracting of the water on the shore.

The bracelet is a one-of-a-kind piece is composed of over 50 carats of diamonds, alongside 31.14 carats of blue-purple tanzanite. In case you are interested, it costs around 350,000 euros. The bracelet is not the only piece in the line: for now there is also a ring made with the same design and the same materials.

The art of jewels by Munnu The Gem Palace




Bracelets, necklaces and earrings with sumptuous gems in the traditional heart of India: the style of the Mughal empire in the collections of Munnu The Gem Palace. ︎

India is a country full of flowers. Necklaces, decorations, braids of flowers are found everywhere, not only in temples, but also for weddings or special occasions. Thus Siddharth Kasliwal, creative director of Munnu The Gem Palace, an ancient Indian brand from Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, uses gems as flowers, with jewels that become artistic bouquets. This is not traditional Indian jewellery. Indeed, Siddharth Kasliwal spends most of his time in New York and has absorbed much of the spirit of Western aesthetics.

Jewels with colored stones have a simpler design than those linked to the Indian tradition, closer to the style of jewels made in Europe or the USA. Necklaces composed of simple aligned tourmalines, an emerald that has a diamond set inside it, no-frills earrings with a rounded shape: the jewels of Munnu The Gem Palace are also popular in the West. On the other hand, Munnu The Gem Palace is heir to one of the oldest traditions. Suffice it to say that the Kasliwal family has been creating jewelry for nine generations.

The Gem Palace boasts jewels that resist passing fashions: some pieces dating back to the family’s beginnings in Agra are still worn. In the stratified society of the Mughal empire, gems served both as an investment, for accumulating wealth, and as a display of power. For three centuries the Mughal emperors used the jewels created by the Kasliwal family of Agra: opulent and extravagant pieces, true status symbols. In Munnu’s words, “at that time people wore more jewelry than clothes.”

The jewelers boasted mastery of traditional Indian techniques, such as Kundan setting and Meenakari enamelling. The story continued with a sudden sliding door, when in 1725 Maharaja Jai Singh II started the construction of the new city of Jaipur, which is still today the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Jewelers could not be missing. The Kasliwals then moved within the palace walls as crown jewelers. Even today the house of the Kasliwal family is located in Jaipur.

In the 18th century Jaipur experienced a period of wealth and afforded the Kasliwal family the opportunity to centralize their operations in a new location outside the palace walls. Many of the artisans who were previously scattered around the city have thus come together under one roof: the Gem Palace.

The British conquest of India did not slow down the work of jewelers. In 1923 the iconic Gem Palace store was opened in Jaipur, which still welcomes those looking for the Maison’s fine jewels. The jewelery offer is particularly rich. The processing takes place in the adjacent laboratories. Munnu’s jewels The Gem Palace have been the focus of various exhibitions in the West, such as the one at Somerset House in London, with around 250 pieces of jewellery, or for the Met in New York, where Munnu and his son Siddharth have opened a studio and a showroom in a residence in the heart of the city. But the story isn’t over yet.

Bees and butterflies for the first real Rosato




It melts, the rivers swell, the nocturnal frosts are gone: it’s spring. In this season the plants bloom and the cycle of life resumes, with the insects having the task of carrying the pollen from one stem to another. Poetry of nature that inspired the Rosato brand, from the Bros Manifatture group. Delicate insects are the protagonists of the jewelry line inspired by the awakening of nature, with bees and butterflies landing on bracelets, rings and earrings.

The art of simplicity in the bijoux by Dario Scapitta




Being born in Valenza, as happened to Dario Scapitta, often means being destined to work in the world of jewelry. Valenza is the Italian capital of fine jewelry. But the roads are not always straight. Sometimes they lead out of the city. Dario Scapitta, for example, first took the direction for Milan, where he devoted himself to the study of set design and interior design at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. Then, he headed north, until he reached Holland.

In the Country of Tulips the designer remembered his roots and decided to take care of jewelry. But in his own way, with a very minimal and very Nordic style. The jewels of his brand, Dario Scapitta Design, are designed and produced in the Netherlands in a very limited number of pieces, to order. The lines of bracelets and necklaces are simple, as are the materials used: silver and enamel. Jewels that in 2023 also led to Inhorgenta, the Munich fair that offers a large space to the world of bijoux.

Letters to write with Pandora




Bracelets and charms with letters from Pandora. Moments is the Pandora platform in which there are different lines of jewels, united by the use of the classic chain for the bracelet to be enriched with pendants. The concept of Pandora Moments is to encourage the collectability of charms. Within the maxi Moments collection, there are thus a dozen different proposals. One of these is Alphabet which, as it is easy to guess, concerns pendants in the shape of letters.

Adding initials, or a whole word is one of the most used choices by jewelry companies. Pandora, however, has the advantage of offering the letters of the alphabet to a solid base of users who already wear the bracelets of the Danish house. The lettering is handwritten in style and features a cubic zirconia stone at the end of each charm. Charms are sterling silver with 14k rose gold plating. A single letter costs 39 euros, a snake chain bracelet with ball closure and pendant 179 euros.

How to choose the cuff bracelet





How to choose a cuff bracelet, covering the whole wrist? There is nothing like a jewel to make a dull dress more sparkling, but not everyone can wear it and, above all, you pay must attention to the combination with the dress. But if you like, the cuff bracelet is an interesting idea: instead of overlapping thin chains or bangles in the latest fashion, the trend setters wear a high, elegant and sculpted cuff bracelet that wraps around the wrist and part of the forearm. Let’s see how and when to wear it.

Of course, it’s not necessary to be as bold as Diana Vreeland, the historic director of Harper’s Bazar, who wore two alike, one on each arm. And, surely, these cuff bracelets do not have the super powers of that of Wonder Woman: though that there is a return of the cuff it is testified by the launch of Chanel’s Coco Crush, the Louis Vuitton fashion shows and, above all, the news that the jewelers presented.

Almost all jewelers have cuff bracelets in their catalog. There is the bracelet in ethical ebony with diamond inserts by the Bolognese brand Qayten, the cage by Mayet, the sun by Astley Clarke, an English designer much loved by Sienna Miller, the imposing and clear lines of Nikos Koulis softened by the soft tones of mother of pearl, the patented mosaic technique by Plevé invented by Ron Rizzo that inserts diamonds on a crystal surface, the frame of a Gamuchian beehive that is perhaps no longer such an original idea but bees still like them very much, the buckle years old 70 in the version by Janis Savitt and the ancient suggestions of Roberto Coin. But, in short, how to choose the cuff bracelet?

Maria Canale, bracciale e collana in oro giallo della collezione Flapper

Weight. The first thing to watch out for is the weight. Of course, a nice cuff bracelet is great because it’s noticed. But if it’s made of metal it could be tiring to wear all day. Better not to wear a metal bracelet from morning to night if it is not super light. But, in this case, be careful: it may be less tiring to wear, but easily deformed if you hit it.

Allergies. A lot of metal in contact with the skin could cause allergies for those who are sensitive to metals that are not hypoallergenic, such as platinum or titanium. Take this into consideration before buying a cuff bracelet. Wide bracelets are rarely made all of pure gold, since the amount of metal used for a jewel of this type is considerable.

Wrists. Are your wrists suitable for such a demanding bracelet? Look at them: if you have wrists that are a little wide, it is not advisable to increase the volume with such large bracelets. In this case it is better to opt for thin bracelets, such as those with small chains.

Clothing. A cuff bracelet is beautiful, but challenging. Attention, then to match the bracelet to the type of dress. General rule: if the bracelet has many fancy colors and patterns, it will be better if combined with a solid color dress or shirt. And viceversa. No problem, however, if the dress is sleeveless or short-sleeved. Also check another detail: the bracelet must not have metal elements, such as closures, which could get caught in the fabric with unpleasant consequences.

Garavelli, bracciale in oro giallo e diamanti

Style. A cuff bracelet can be rigid, but also made with a soft metal mesh or even with a weave of precious stones. Of course in this last case the cost takes off like a NASA rocket. Which type of bracelet to choose? Rigid bracelets are often less classic. The knitted metal bracelet, especially in gold, is suitable for important evenings, although it is usually not very light to wear. And the gemstone bracelets? If you have one, you don’t need advice … Matilde de Bounvilles

Calestani’s rock silver




Soon it will be a silver anniversary. The marriage that has lasted for 30 years, however, is that between Claudio Calestani and his Milanese workshop, where he handcrafts rings, bracelets, but also silver buckles, his specialty. Calestani, however, is not just any jeweler: his style is very recognizable due to the connotation of the jeweler’s passions, rock, motorcycles and martial arts, which characterize his production. Furthermore, it is a profession that is also a family legacy: in Casalmaggiore (Cremona) the grandfather was one of the founders, a century ago, of the gold-plated Federal Goldsmiths Association and the United Factories.

Some symbols recur in Claudio Calestani’s production, such as the snake, which is also the icon of the Maison. Rings and bracelets are solid and voluminous, with rounded shapes, in some cases with burnished metal that adds volume and thickness to silver jewellery. The chains are sturdy, with links that add a special texture to the metal.

Under an ancient sea with Chiara Passoni





The jewels of Chiara Passoni, precious stones and ancient teeth of the prehistoric shark ♦ ︎

Now the jewels of the sea have more jewels. But they are not colored anemones, dolphins that jump on the waves or corals that empurple exotic atolls. The new jewels of the sea or, better, dedicated to the oceans, are those of Chiara Passoni. They are not, however, simple jewels inspired by the kingdom of Neptune. Because Chiara Passoni has a symbiotic relationship with the sea: probably, if she could, she would live in a shell like the Botticelli’s Venus. For years the Milanese designer has sailed the seas all over the world. Over and under. On large and small boats and as divers, deep in the seas. And in her network has collected an absolute passion for the marine world as well as, more generally, for the natural balance. This harmony has been translated into his jewels.

Her Jurassic capsule collection goes even further: it embraces nature in an ultramillenary time frame, indeed, prehistoric.

La sua Jurassic capsule collection va anche oltre: abbraccia la natura in un arco temporale ultramillenario, anzi, preistorico.

The jewels, in fact, are made using fossil teeth of megalodon, the great ancestor of the shark. Fossil teeth that are unique pieces, combined with sapphires and diamonds, gold and silver. The designer also emphasizes that the words “Respect Your Nature” are engraved on every jewel. In all there are 12 pieces, from the necklace to the bracelet, with diamonds and shades of sapphires. The jewels are declined in different shades: from blue to pink to black. Each piece has a (very long) history and is different from the others: from the abyss to the jewelry of today, it is a journey lasting millions of years.

Peroni & Parise, golden combination




Peroni & Parise, two jewelers who combine creativity with modern and non-trivial lines. Here are the new jewels ♦

A couple (in goldsmithery) of two men: Lorenzo Peroni and Robert Parise are a combination who works in Dueville, a small town in the province of Vicenza. From their friendship, but also thanks to the creativity, they founded the Peroni & Parise, a company of jewelry that is at par with those of the best level. They started both with learning the noble profession of exciting the metal forms, polishing, file hits. And they added the choice of stones. And finally, we put them with the choice of design, very clean, but not anonymous, simple, but not boring, classic, but with the taste of small transgressions.

In short, Peroni & Parise already have to their credit many interesting collections.

Geocube in green and pink





Cubed nuances for Coeur de Lion, a German brand that courageously offers a type of bijoux that is completely different from the usual.

The Geocube collection, which has been renewing bijoux composed with this geometric motif for years, now presents two new shades, suitable for the summer.

Colors and gems by Anaïs Rheiner




Jewels in gold and precious stones, but above all seen through the eyes of those who have long lived in Africa, such as Anaïs Rheiner ♦

Anaïs Reiner is Swiss, but has long lived in Africa, first in Zimbabwe and then in South Africa. She opened its first store in Mozambique, in 2002. “I love this country, with colonial houses faded by years of war.

L’objectif est en fait d’étendre notre présence dans les pays où Zancan est déjà présent depuis un certain temps, comme le Moyen-Orient, où il est déjà possible de nous trouver dans certaines boutiques de haute joaillerie comme Levant à Dubai et Almajed au Qatar, et en Amérique du Nord, où nous avons un représentant local et plus de 200 points de vente depuis plus de dix ans. Et nous nous développons également de manière significant au Mexique, un marché qui s’avère à fort potentiel où le public apprécie beaucoup nos produits et nous voulons partir d’ici pour explorer le marché sud-américain.

The city of love is ideal for Valentine’s Day. Verona, stage for the eternal story of Romeo and Juliet, is also a destination for thousands of tourists who probably hope that their relationship with their other half will be more fortunate.

The jewels of the collection, with the design of the four-petal diamond flower, are inspired by some characteristics of the architectural decorations typical of the late Gothic style, which is also found in many palaces in Verona. It is also a common aesthetic appeal in the period in which the play written by William Shakespeare is set. The jewels are made in the three colors of gold, shiny or satin. The gold is worked with an ultra-glossy and resistant effect thanks to the special alloy used. Each diamond is set by hand. The closure of each bracelet in the collection allows maximum security while maintaining the linearity of the silhouette, thanks to a mechanism hidden within the design.

Love for Amen




How many names does love have? And in how many forms can a relationship live? Finally, which jewel best represents the couple’s passion? All questions that Amore (Love) wants to answer, the name of the first bijoux collection of 2023 created by Amen and dedicated to the day of lovers.

New fruits in Gucci’s Hortus Deliciarum




Hortus deliciarum (Garden of Delights) is the title of a medieval manuscript by Herrad of Landsberg, located in the abbey of Hohenburg, in Alsace, better known as Mont Sainte-Odile. The manuscript contained at least 20 song lyrics (only two survive), all originally notated for the music. But Hortus deliciarum is also the name of countless jewelry collections, to which Gucci’s high jewelry is now added. The novelties of the collection, anticipated in June 2022, were presented during the couture week in Paris.

Colors, geometric designs, fantasy: instead of the notes, Gucci has used the tools of jewelry, with stones in dazzling colors, such as rubellite, amethyst, mandarin garnet and emerald, in addition to the classic diamonds. The design of the necklaces, earrings and bracelets is also inspired by a geometric motif taken from ancient Rome, such as the chains with hexagonal rings. Or with a so-called chevron motif, as in the yellow gold bracelet, with diamonds and an oval-shaped 16-carat rubellite tourmaline: a jewel that, Gucci points out, takes 200 hours to make.

How to wear jewels, the new rules of etiquette




How many jewels to wear? Does the watch go well with an evening dress? And the rose gold … Six rules to break, but be careful ♦ ︎

Don’t wear a watch in the evening. Diamonds are only allowed after 6pm. Rose gold is of poor quality … These are some of the rules that have been respected by generations of women for many years. Those, at least, of a certain social class. Even today there are those who follow these unwritten precepts. But do they still make sense? Here are six rules that are all or in part outdated and which, therefore, you can safely break. But, be careful: as long as you don’t bury the aesthetic sense.

Rule number 1
Rose gold is not of bad quality

At the beginning of the 19th century, rose gold was very popular in Russia and for this reason it was also known as Russian gold. Pink gold is obtained by adding copper to pure yellow gold. Of course too much copper makes the alloy less valuable (because it contains less yellow gold), but it also gives it a too bright hue. Today, however, this is no longer the case. Rose gold is back in fashion and jewelers carefully dose the amount of copper in order not to obtain an excessively charged color. Therefore, it is better to choose jewelry made with a metal that is not too redish.

Rule number 2
Pearls are worn even before the age of 40

The classic string of pearls around the neck has been the jewel worn by mature women for decades, especially when paired with classic dresses: a cashmere sweater or blouse under a full dress. These have been the uniforms of entire generations. Today, however, pearls are also used by many jewelers in a very creative way, both for very expensive and affordable jewels. And today a pearl necklace can also be worn very well on jeans. So, wear pearls even if you are under 30.

Rule number 3
When to wear diamonds before 6pm

Know that, according to some, this rule is still in effect. But only a few are required to respect it, for example members of the British royal family. Yes, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle (who probably does not think about it after their farewell in London) cannot wear diamond jewelry before evening, that is by convention before 6pm. With one exception, however: rings are allowed. engagement or diamond jewelry in some particular ceremonies. What about the rest of the world? He certainly doesn’t pay attention to rules like these. Apart from engagement rings, which are always allowed, earrings, necklaces and bracelets can be worn. But only as long as the context is adequate: on the occasion of important shows, elegant parties, ceremonies. In short, diamonds yes, but not to go to the office or go shopping: in this case they are really excessive.

Rule number 4
When to wear the watch in the evening

Once leaving the house in the evening meant a special occasion. The watch was worn by her husband or boyfriend, so it was not necessary for a woman to wear it. Fortunately, this is no longer the case. But the watch should be considered, however, as an accessory to coordinate with the rest of the dress. A sporty brown leather strap does not go well with an elegant black evening dress. Better, if anything, a watch with a white or yellow gold mesh strap with a small case. In short, in the era of smartphones, the watch has increasingly an ornamental function: no one leaves their mobile phone at home, while a timepiece can be done without. So if you want to wear it in the evening, consider it as a jewel to coordinate with the occasion.

Rule number 5
How to mix gold and silver

This rule is definitely out of date. There are even jewelers who offer earrings, rings or bracelets made simultaneously in gold and silver. Rather, it is the quality of the jewel that counts. Silver that is passed off as white gold is certainly not a great idea. A design jewel that uses both gold and silver together can be very precious. And different jewels? Also in this case what matters is the combination, the mix of styles that must be pleasant and homogeneous.

Rule number 6
How to wear more than five jewels together

Be careful: turning into a Christmas tree is not advisable even today. But it can be fun to wear lots of different bracelets, or to stack thin rings. This way you can easily cross the roof of five jewels together, but that’s fine. The real problem, if anything, is choosing the right jewelry. Increasing the number is no guarantee of a pleasant effect. For this reason, some jewelers offer jewels that are specially designed to be combined.
