Wendy Yue’s flowers

Wendy Yue’s flower-shaped jewels have enchanted Moda Operandi ♦ ︎

Those who have never been to Hong Kong, but know Wendy Yue’s artisan jewelry, can imagine that the Asian city is a species of Earthly Paradise. Flowers and leaves grow lush, the colors shine in the clear air. Hong Kong, instead, has another kind of charm, but not the one related to flora. The designer, however, manages to imagine a private garden, with plants not exactly similar to those found in nature and, perhaps for this reason, even more fascinating.
Imaginative cocktail rings, bracelets and earrings are made of precious and colored stones that form a non-replicable world. This is also why his unique pieces of jewelry are prey to collectors who do not let them escape. As evidenced by the recent trunk show on Moda Operandi, which saw Wendy Yue’s jewelry go sold out. But of course, like all the flowers, the jewels of the Chinese designer will also grow back. Cosimo Muzzano

Fabio Salini’s jewels at the Masterpiece London: a hundred pieces and the new collection with carbon fiber ♦ ︎

It is fortunate that Fabio Salini has not followed the family entrepreneurial vocation to exercise his creativity in a completely different sector, jewelery. It is fortunate because Salini not only brings fresh air into a world that, in part, is crystallized on a tradition that seems immutable, but is also able to create standing ovation jewelry. Appearance that, combined with its proud will to innovate, is not a secondary aspect. The Roman designer, among other things, also knows well the high traditional jewelry: before founding his small Maison, he worked for both Bulgari and Cartier.
A wide selection of his work, Fabio Salini took her to Masterpiece London. The exhibition dedicated to antiques, design and jewelry has welcomed a hundred pieces, including its new collection that uses an unusual material: carbon fiber, next to titanium and precious stones such as diamonds and sapphires, or seeds -precious like the peridot. The result is jewels with very clean, modern, striking geometries. And also very light. Rudy Serra

The moths of Stephen Webster

The moths of Stephen Webster in the Fly by Night collection: it’s dedicated to the inhabitants of the air but without forgetting the sea ♦ ︎

Stephen Webster, a British designer who has become a sort of myth for many of his colleagues, has chosen to become an example also in terms of environmental sustainability. Stephen Webster, in fact, collaborates with the Plastic Oceans Foundation and donates 10% of all proceeds from sales (and it’s not little) to support their work in preserving the seas. “This initiative is our brand taking a stand for social responsibility. It is well known that I personally have love of all things aquatic and as a consequence, over the years have taken part in several clean ocean and water initiatives. It’s important that no matter how small we play a part in preserving our oceans” explained the London jeweler.
It could therefore be inferred that the great love for water is transformed into collections based on aquamarine, with jewels shaped like waves. But is not so. Indeed, one of the most recent collections is dedicated to the air. Or better, to inhabitants of the air like moths. In fact, the collection is titled Fly by night and consists of pieces with the shape of butterfly-moth. White gold and diamonds are the basic elements. But there are also original solutions, such as the black opal combined with transparent quartz set in white gold. Prices: from about 1000 pounds for the small earrings you go up to 65,000 pounds for the big bracelet studded with white diamonds. Alessia Mongrando

Now the acorn-stones of the different lines that are part of the collection, namely Mikado Flamenco, Mikado Bouquet and Mikado Bouquet XL, are updated with the use of amethyst, sky blue topaz, blue and London blue, carnelian, smoky quartz, peridot , pink tourmaline, moonstone in white, caramel and gray colors, pink, blue and light blue chalcedony, diamonds. By the way: the different Mikado lines also serve to identify the size of the stones. It ranges from 8 mm in diameter of Mikado Flamenco to 11 mm of Mikado Bouquet, up to 18 of the Mikado Bouquet XL charm.
The stones are mounted on an 18 carat yellow gold base, also available in white gold and pink gold, or on a leather cord. The shape of the stones and the formula of the collection suggests an use of the acorn as a pendant. The bracelets and the glue with pendants are, in fact, the classic Mikado jewels. Prices: from € 750 for a pendant, € 1,350 for a pendant with three acorns, up to € 32,990 for the Mikado Flamenco bracelet. By the way, for those who do not know, Mikado is the name given to the emperors of Japan, but also a game composed of colored sticks. Giulia Netrese

The stars in gold, enamel and diamonds by Colette, a Parisian designer who works among Los Angeles and Mexico City ♦ ︎

Colette Steckel has the stars on her side. In the sense that the stars are one of the elements that distinguishes his production of jewelry. His latest collection, Galaxia Enamel, is no exception: eight-pointed stars in gold are colored with enamel in many shades. The diamonds added to the stars make more precious the jewels (price: from 2000 to 6000 dollars on average). In some cases the small stars form micro colored galaxies, very cheerful.
In fact, Colette Steckel of skies has seen many. Born in Paris (she likes to spell out in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district), the designer has also lived in the Mexico. Now she lives and works in Los Angeles, but also has a boutique at Park Plaza, Mexico City. His first collection is from 1995, after his training at Gia.

Jewels for incredibles

The jewels for those who feel invincible and incredibles, like the characters in the animated film Pixar ♦ ︎

Even the jewels can be Incredibles. Just like the characters from Pixar’s new animated film. The Incredibles 2 has, in fact, conquered the box office of the cinemas. So much so that there are those who thought to create a series of jewelry inspired by the film. The author of the collection is the designer Alex Woo, who, in agreement with Pixar, a company that is part of Walt Disney, has designed Incredibles 2 jewels. The collection is entirely made in the city where she was born, New York.
The jewelry line consists of four pendants: the symbol of the Incredibles, a written Powermom, inspired by the super mother Elastigirl, a symbol of power-burst and a hero mask. The jewels are made of sterling silver or 14 carat yellow gold and cost between $ 48 and $ 758. It is not the first collection of jewels that Alez Woo designs for Pixar: the designer of Chinese origin has also designed lines inspired by Coco, Moana and Finding Dory. If you also feel incredible you can buy the jewels by Amazon. Cosimo Muzzano

Sunlight Escape, high jewelery by Piaget

Sunlight Escape, a new large collection of fine jewelry from Piaget. First part ♦ ︎

Let’s start from here: Piaget owns the largest jewelery workshop in Geneva. Thus, when the Swiss Maison presents its collections of fine jewelry, also the expectation is high. As high as the sun shining in the sky and suggesting the theme of the new collection of fine jewelry. in 2017 the super jewelry collection was called Sunlight Journey. In 2018 here is Sunlight Escape. Rays of the sun, light, brilliance. But also sunset, fugitive light, bright night. In short, around the concept you can embroider and, above all, create a high-end jewelry that is at the top of the world rankings. Sunlight Escape, in its radiant ambiguity, is embodied in the Piaget collection in a series of exceptional jewels and jewelry-watches.
The Sunlight Escape collection consists, in fact, of three lines of jewelry: Warming Lights, Exalting Sights, and Dancing Nights. From Piaget the three lines are defined as follows: Warming Lights, light captured and diffused through shapes and materials such as pink and yellow gold and diamonds. Exalting Sights focus on what is truly spectacular through the unique skills of the Maison Piaget. Dancing Nights, a whirlwind of asymmetric forms united in a fascinating fluid movement. Processing and result are of each of the three deserves its own space. In this page, so, let’s look at the first one, Warming Lights, and will consider the other two separately.
Warming Lights
This line, part of Sunlight Escape, is made up of jewels reminiscent of the warm color of the first lights: pink gold, yellow and white diamonds, which capture light and transform it through a multitude of reflections and refractions. They are part of Warming Lights a necklace brilliantly shows dozens of strips engraved in rose gold decorated with marquise cut diamonds. Like a sun, there is a central stone, a 6.02 carat emerald, which shines bright green. A rose gold bracelet with an inlaid motif of feathers and gold leaves is also part of Warming Lights. Then there is a ring with brilliant cut diamonds and a large cut diamond of 2.3 carat cushion. Also part of this line is a watch with diamonds and white gold, complemented by a rose cut and brilliant cut diamond bracelet , “Similar to small drops of snow just melted”.

The gem setting
Piaget, rightly, puts the accent on the goldsmith technique used for these jewels. The setting of the gem, explains Piaget, for example, is a demanding technique that requires patience, precision and dexterity. The task must be carried out perfectly to ensure that the setting of the precious stone is strong and stable. “An art form in the true sense of the term implies transcending techniques to create an absolute impression of brilliance”. A particularly refined technique is the “serti descendu” or “reduction setting”, which provides a particular shine to the stone. With infinite care, those who place the jewel fix the stone inside the chisel claws, before cutting them back to offer a clear view of the stone. Applied to the diamond contour of each rose cut diamond, it provides a halo of light that captures and projects the sheer beauty of jewelry.
Feather marquetry
“In its incomparable delicacy and harmony, there is something transcendental in the work of the feather artist, Nelly Saunier,” explains Piaget. Winner of the Prix Liliane Bettencourt for the Intelligence de la Main, she was a natural choice for Piaget to collaborate on Sunlight Escape. For this collection of fine jewelry Nelly Saunier has created a series of four exceptional creations in the form of earrings and hoses that evoke a snowy landscape illuminated by the penetrating rays of the sun. As only a Maître d’Art can do, Nelly Saunier brings together the art of feathers and the art of gold. A composition of pure white feathers is brilliantly contrasted with rose gold leaves, creating the sparkling effect of the icy snow that shines in the warm rays of the sun.

The Palace decoration
The Palace decoration is an engraving technique inspired by the Haute Couture and which provides a handmade guilloché process with veins that give the surface the appearance of raw silk. The result is, in fact, similar to a fabric with an inimitable radiance capable of accentuating the brilliance of precious stones. This engraving process is a traditional Piaget technique for which the Maison has been famous for a long time. With the combination of diamond polishing and setting, these High Jewelry creations move the boundaries of skills and creativity. An essential element of the Sunlight Escape collection, the Midnight Sun necklace shows the Palace decoration in all its splendor with marquise cut diamonds that naturally guide the gaze towards the deep intensity of the green of a large central emerald.

The eclectic world of Silvia Furmanovich

New earrings of the fanciful Silvia Furmanovich, between Brazilian gems and rare woods ♦

Receiving a Las Vegas Couture award for two years in a row is not for everyone. Silvia Furmanovich, a designer of Italian origin but now permanently transferred to Sao Paulo, Brazil, has succeeded. She started creating jewelry in 1997, but she founded her brand in 2003. The jewels are produced by artisans in São Paulo. She was born into a family of goldsmiths: father and grandfather, she says, have also worked for the Vatican. So she came into contact with gold as a child. Eclecticism is the creed, his philosophy and his passion. She likes to amaze, surprise, shuffle the cards. She also went to the Amazon rainforest to look for rare Brazilian woods on which to invent inlays: she identified Muirapiranga red, Tatajuba yellow, Roxinho viola and Carvalho Azul. The result was been a collection of oversized bracelets and maxi earrings with striking decorations and the addition of precious stones, set with 18-carat gold. In any case, its jewels are based on traditional metal and precious stones, often those extracted in Brazil. Her are often unique pieces. Also because the elements that make up the jewels are sometimes rare objects and gems that she finds during his travels. And Moda Operandi has dedicated her a trunk show to her. Alessia Mongrando

Damiani expands the D.Icon family, the collection of the Piedmontese brand that uses the marriage between gold and ceramics, to which are added small diamonds. The novelty is represented by the D.Icon, with candy pink color ring, a delicate and very feminine nuance. The whole collection plays on softness, with very rounded shapes and rather soft tones. There is another reason for using such a design: the shape is designed to also evoke the Damiani letter D.
The range of the D.Icon collection includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings, and is one of the most popular lines of the Maison of Valenza. Over the years, the D.Icon jewelery line has expanded from the classic black and white to the most trendy shades such as cappuccino and sugar paper. And now, here is the pink color.

Carolina Bucci, dettaglio della sciarpa arcobaleno

The soft golden fabrics by Carolina Bucci, flexible jewels made with the ancient Florentine handicraft tradition ♦ ︎

There is a Penelope in the jewelry store. And she is Italian. We have already talked about Carolina Bucci other times, but today we want to emphasize an aspect of her jewelery production: gold fabrics. With a scarf-necklace in gold of different colors Carolina Bucci has won one of the Couture Awards 2018. And so the award has also put the spotlight on the production of gold threads of the designer, who is based in London, but comes from a family of jewelers of Florence. And the Florentine technique of working on warp and weft is at the base of the work of Tuscan artisans who make fabrics, not only with 18-karat gold, but also with silk. A mix that it allows to make bracelets, necklaces, but also earrings of different consistency and always soft.
The jewels are therefore yellow, white, pink, black or brown and can often be worn in different ways: wrapped around the wrist or neck. In some cases the mesh can be ordered in the desired length and width. Everything is made by hand, with a result that seems to have emerged from the fifteenth-century paintings in flowery Gothic style, where gold was added to the brilliant colors of the painter.

Drops of rain, drops of the sea waves, drops of a cold drink on a summer day: the very shape of a small particle of water brings the idea of freshness. Which, perhaps, can also be achieved with the Gocce collection by Giovanni Raspini. The drops are made of silver and are combined with natural stones such as rock crystal, yellow-amber citrine quartz, and massive amethyst. They are stones rich in inclusions, that is of mineral components different from the main ones, and that give a movement and nuances to the element itself. Drops alternates the two materials, that is, silver and stone, thanks also to the insertion of molded plastic elements made of fusion that form the cap-stones of the stones. The Gocce collection is offered in two necklaces, three bracelets and three earrings. Prices: about 200 euros for a bracelet, about 130 euros for earrings, 450 euros necklace. Alessia Mongrando

Large leaves in gold, diamonds and colored sapphires in the renewed Snowflakes collection by Tamara Comolli ♦ ︎
In Forte dei Marmi it is already snowing. But no tourist in the Tuscan town overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea worries about it. The snow, in fact, has the shape of the jewels of the Snowflakes collection that Tamara Comolli presents in Italy. The designer from Munich decided, in fact, to open her first single-brand store in Italy in Forte dei Marmi and, at the same time, to present the new pieces of the collection, inspired by the shape of a leaf and which alluding not to winter, but to Adam and Eve. The leaf used, according to the Bible, to protect the modesty of the two progenitors, becomes a great pendant on a very long chain. The collection, presented in 2004, is now renewed and includes leaves composed of gold elements with a set stone, repeated and juxtaposed to each other, like a puzzle.
The leaf-shaped pendants start from a rib made of white, yellow, pink or blackened gold, on which are placed the individual elements, also of gold, which embed a diamond in the center. There is also a pendant with a double embedding: on one side it is lit by diamonds, on the other with the color of sapphires, to offer a double opportunity.
Tamara Comolli in her collections never miss her strong piece, the bracelet. In the Snowflakes collection it has different combinations of colors of stones, white and brown diamonds, pink, blue and violet sapphires, or in the more casual version with spinels, tsavorites, amethysts. In addition to other bracelets and sautoir with single elements are arranged in a row, one after the other, to wrap the wrist.

Alhambra collection is renewed with Van Cleef & Arpels

Sautori Alhambra in oro rosa, diamanti e madreperla grigia

Van Cleef & Arpels celebrates the 50 birthday of the Alhambra collection with new jewels ♦ ︎
Van Cleef & Arpels celebrates the Sixty-eight. Not that of the student protest, of course, but the 50 years of Alhambra, one of the most famous collection of the Parisian Maison. Although, to tell the truth, Nicolas Bos, CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels, explained that the collection introduced the concept of hippie-chic. Van Cleef & Arpels also likes to remember some of the celebrities who chose Alhambra, such as French singer Françoise Hardy, Romy Schneider, Princess Grace of Monaco.
But success, perhaps, has also been pushed by two other factors: the simplicity and price of jewelry, which is quite accessible compared to other collections of the Place Vendôme brand. The famous form of Alhambra is that of the four-leaf clover. Proposed for the first time in a long necklace, a sautoir of 20 elements, the four-leaf clover has then multiplied on the other classic pieces of jewelry. Another reason for the great favor of the public lies in the very realization of the jewels, very sober and elegant. But, perhaps, also because it evokes a lucky charm, a form of talisman that had already been used by the Maison in the Twenties: Jacques Arpels used to search for four-leaf clovers in the garden of his property in Germigny-l’Évêque and he gifted to some leaves to his collaborators together with the English poetry Do not Quit, as an invitation to never lose hope.
The Alhambra collection is part of the “day jewelry” category, even if nothing forbids to wear necklaces and bracelets with cloverleaf after 17-18, time that triggers the evening set (but each country has variations on this theme).
So, 50 years after its debut, here are new models designed to integrate the permanent collection. The new pieces include a sautoir and a Vintage Alhambra bracelet, accompanied by Magic Alhambra earrings, with gray mother of pearl and diamonds on rose gold, or onyx that contrasts with the brilliance of diamonds and white gold. Also available in a limited number of models are two models in yellow gold with lapis lazuli and diamonds, or with rock crystal. Giulia Netrese

Ton Jolì Femme, extension of the classic collection signed Pasquale Bruni: ring, sautoir, choker and brooch ♦ ︎
An extension is something that stretches, enlarges, expands. If it is a collection of jewelry, this also means that those who propose it have confidence in the success of that particular form of earrings, rings or bracelets. And it also means that extension is the direct consequence of a success. This is the case of the Ton Jolì collection by Pasquale Bruni. The extension of the jewelry line is called Ton Jolì Femme and is made with agate and mother of pearl, which make up the iconic shape of the Maison, the four-lobed flower. The jewels are made with the use of rose gold, with an area of pavé with white diamonds and champagne.
The stones have the soft irregular facets of the Bon Ton cut, exclusively created by Pasquale Bruni. The Ton Jolì Femme collection consists of a ring, earrings, necklace and brooch. The pendants are customizable with engravings, they can be worn with long sautoir or crew-neck, while the brooch can be combined with a refined night blue velvet chocker to create multiple looks. The collection is completed by a white and black set consisting of a ring and a necklace. Giulia Netrese

Salvini Minimal Pop, rings and bracelets for a lightweight collection, characterized by flexibility. Images and prices ♦ ︎
Minimal Pop is a Salvini collection that aims at a certain lightness. The Damiani group brand is, in fact, an institution with regard to jewelry for special events (engagement, marriage) or ceremonies, anniversaries. But of course there is also the rest of life. And that’s why Minimal Pop is proposed as a collection to wear only for the pleasure of having a jewel, even if nothing forbids to dedicate the jewel to one of the occasions we mentioned.
The jewelry line includes rings, bracelets and pendants, to which are added the hoop earrings in white gold, rose gold and yellow gold. The bracelets can be combined with pendants with the shape of hearts and butterflies, shamrocks and crosses, embellished with a brillant.
There is also a particular aspect: as regards about tubogas technique, it is a type of work to make the metal flexible and is, it seems, a legacy of ancient Rome. Born in the artisan workshops, the tubogas technique was then borrowed from the mechanical industry and then goldsmith. Indicative prices: white gold ring 245 euro, bracelet 318 euro. Giulia Netrese

Halo is the name given to the collection launched by one of the most prestigious jewelery brands, Yoko London. La Maison is famous above all for its pearls.
