The idea is to propose bijoux compounds of elements with different colors. The components of necklaces and bracelets have the bear’s silhouette which is the symbol of Tous, mounted on white silver. The colors, however, are those of the natural stones used: mainly quartz, amazonite and dumortierite. The amazonite is, from a geological point of view, a green variety of feldspatomicroclino. The name comes from the Amazon, where the green stones were found specifically in the jungle of Peru. The dumortierite named after the geologist who discovered it, Dumortier, and is a stone to hard blue: reaches 8.5 on the Mohs scale. Alessia Mongrando

Where it flies forward to Graff
Princess Butterfly, precious watch bracelet signed Graff.
Bracelets that combine beauty with usefulness: are watches that are not watches, but jewels that, in addition, a clock running. This is the case of the Graff collection that takes the name of Princess Butterfly. The butterfly is a motif that recurs in jewelery: slight, graceful, legendary, the butterfly more often is posing on luxury lovers. No exception this bracelet-watch Graff, the Londoner synonymous of the finest diamonds. The volatile insect’s wings are covered in diamonds or blue sapphires, baguette with precious stones on the edges, with yellow diamonds or pink. The jewel has two faces because it has a hidden mechanism that allows the butterfly has two positions: the closed cuff completely hides the face of the watch. Opened, it shows the hour. The mechanism is hidden by seven diamonds in the center: by pressing on one of the stones, the wings are separated and reveal a dial of 17 mm mother pearl. This miracle of gold is only possible due to the ability of the artisans working for Graff, but at the same time, it is also the result of 3D technology used to map the curve and contour of the wings. The watchstrap can be made of metal and diamond or satin. Federico Graglia

The crystals Swarovski played by Jean Paul Gaultier.
Jean Paul Gaultier and Swarovski: marriage is not only in name but also in fact. The fashion designer, in fact, invents not only a collection for the Austrian brand of bijoux with his particular modern-romantic style (more modern than romantic), but has also designed new innovative forms for crystals of the Maison. Specifically, here is the Kaputt cut, available in four versions. The German word, which means “broken”, was developed by Swarovski technical team. Broken, in this case, means also unpredictable. It’s a stylistic rupture of symmetries, irregular reflections. In part, the crystals are frosted glass, and for someone with a vague aspect as a meteorite. Each crystal is cut by laser to achieve maximum accuracy and with engraved famous logo Jean Paul Gaultier. The green crystal and crystal effect Scarabaeus Scarabaeus Green Pearl were designed to complete the collection. The color is inspired by the verdigris roof of the Paris Opera House, and the glittering metallic luster green-blue-purple beetle, a once adored by the ancient Egyptians. Yet the impression is of a future-tech. Rudy Serra
India is elastic with Embrace
The precious hi-tech bracelet by Nirav Modi.
The world runs together with the technology and even the traditional India is not an exception. Witness one of the largest jewelers in the world, Nirav Modi. His gaudy jewelry and with widespread use and not suffused with diamonds is a mirage that has enchanted star and (wives of) millionaires. Yet he, too, which certainly does not renounce at craftsmanship of its employees, which contnues from three generations, he has decided to add to its exceptional pieces also a line that was only possible to realize a design with Cad and prototypes printed in 3D with proportions calculated to micron. The turning hi-tech, told, took place at the age of 40 years of age. Billionaire, famous, satisfied with his work and the recognition of its loyal customers (has boutiques in Mumbai, Delhi and New York), Modi has decided to introduce a line, Embrace, which is the fruit of the marriage between jewelry and engineering. One bracelet of Embrace collection, in fact, is made with gold and diamonds (up to 1,600), and may have even 800 junctions. It was inspired from classic elastic hair (Modi copied the one used by his daughter). In fact, the bracelet is flexible and can be expanded to of the wearer. Of course, wear 1,600 diamonds held together by gold is not the same thing as an elastic hair. Even for the price: from 8,000 to 36,000 US dollars. Rudy Serra

The Puzzle Collection is proposed now at VicenzaOro September with the same geometric pattern for the rings. The jewelry line has as a characteristic the ability to add and remove colors, as in an abstract painting: you can buy a whole palette and change the hue in earrings and pendants. More than a puzzle, in fact, the line was inspired by artists such as Kandinsky, Mondrian and Calder, champions of abstract art. But even if you are not masters of painting, you can combine at will small pieces trapezoidal with rounded corners that make up the collection, made with colorful mother pearl and wood. Versatility is the main feature: the necklace 7 ways binds to the armband to become long necklace and be worn up to seven different ways. The earring with mother pearl elements has a new version in plain gold, fully pavé with diamonds or sapphires. Alessia Mongrando

Roberto Coin has an idea Appassionata
When you are passionate about something, you don’t want never leave without it. So Roberto Coin 20 years after the launch of its Appassionata collection, continues to offer the formula of that success. The new pieces of the collection presented in 2016 have volumes and forms that have evolved over time, but remain faithful to the original idea: to evoke the pleasure of contact with the tissue, but using gold and diamonds. They are modern, lines up with the times. On the other hand the Veneto brand, now a global giant of jewelery, offers an average of over 600 models a year. In short, he is used to running, innovate and renew. Since 1977, when Roberto Coin, successful hotelier, has reinvented himself as jewelery designer, the bet is won with destiny, with the ability to adapt the collections to fashion, to the times. And sometime even go ahead before of the trend. For the Appassionata collection, for example, the Maison has succeeded in creating a jewel realized in a kind of carpet of gold to woven mesh. Here are the new images. Margherita Donato

The happy hearts of Chopard
Chopard launches Happy Hearts Collection, a jewelry line that uses, as its name indicates, the heart shape. An evergreen kind of jewelery. The pattern of the heart is already in the consolidated collection Happy Diamonds, a jewelry line that dates back to 1976. Happy Hearts reveals the link with the same matrix, even if the jewelry have different combinations: gold and diamonds can be together with hearts with turquoise, mother of pearl and onyx. Or with moving diamonds, as a sautoir, bracelets and earrings, which become undulating and delicate jewelry. Among the special features of the new form also a jewel of the collection: a cuff-reed whose two ends, a colorful heart and a heart with diamond Mobile, seem connected in a kind of two-step dance.
Delfina Delttrez starts again from ABC
About Delfina Delettrez, daughter of Silvia Venturini Fendi and the French jeweler Bernard Delettrez, we talked about it several times and it would be unfair to indicate her as “daughter of.” Since from her debut the designer showed a personality that has resulted in a chorus of praise on the international press. Of course, the origins have favored the way to go on stage, but the rest it’s just for her skill. After the shaped jewelry eyes or lip-shaped brooches, the Italian designer proposes a new collection, called ABC. It is always very simple, and from this point of view does not betray the modern style that has characterized the beginnings. At the same time, however, it seems a bit ‘more classical. Gold, diamonds and pearls are the material on which he worked Delfina. They are jewels for anything too strange, even if the design is unique and you remember. Perhaps, than the other creations of the designers, these are jewels that refer to basic principles, hence the choice of the ABC name. Alessia Mongrando

The Dior silk under the lens
Ogni tanto è bene fermarsi a osservare. Certo, guardare tante immagini di una collezione è divertente. Però ci sono casi come questo bracciale di Dior che vale la pena di osservare da vicino se siete davvero appassionati di gioielli. È frutto della fantasia del direttore creativo del settore gioielli della Maison, Victoire de Castellane. Con questo bracciale in oro ha voluto imitare il movimento avvolgente, morbido e arricciato della seta. Un compito non semplice. Eppure il risultato è difficilmente riproducibile: il bracciale sembra davvero composto da morbido tessuto su cui sono appoggiati diamanti bianchi e colorati. Ma la collezione (ne abbiamo già parlato qui), che si rinnova di continuo e ha le radici nel lontano 1940, comprende pezzi con anche smeraldi, zaffiri, rubini. Ogni gioiello è un’impresa notevole di ingegneria, come si vede nel filmato. Quando si valuta il prezzo di un pezzo di alta gioielleria, spesso non si considera il tempo e i materiali impiegati. Per realizzare questo bracciale, per esempio, ci sono volute 2000 ore di lavorazione, 1.692 diamanti bianchi e colorati, un diamante giallo di 6.04 carati. Margherita Donato
The unique tale of Suzanne Syz
The Ritz Hotel in Paris, recently renovated, has opened the doors of Place Vendȏme to Suzanne Syz. The designer, during a night in the new concept store reserved to few selected guests, showed the latest creations of her Art Jewels. Born in Zurich, she grew up in Paris, after her apprenticeship in New York, Suzanne Syz has been established in Geneva, when she does not reside in her house in the countryside of Tuscany. But, in reality, she travels a lot. Her unique pieces are very unique, in that they do not look like those of no other and would not even easily replicable. She has her own style, without compromise. In the evening at the Ritz, for example, she presented a titanium ring with a big sapphire cabochon Burmese or, rather, without facets and with a slightly irregular shape. Titanium has been used also for a pair of earrings from the name East meet West, constituted as from so many small fans aligned. Less geometric and more storytelling, instead, the bracelet dedicated to the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm: consists of carved frogs in chrysophrase, along with diamonds, rubies and garnets that form the leaves of water lilies. The jewel of course awaits the kiss of a princess or a prince who purchases it. Margherita Donato
Mattioli continues the safari
The African Queen collection by Mattioli has been enriched this year with new pieces. Originally proposed as a name for a bracelet, with time the jewelry line has expanded to new things. The Maison from Turin launched this collection thinking to unperturbed, mysterious and secretive atmosphere of the great continent. The natural beauty and primitive forms of ethnic art are contrasting forms dedicated to animals such as snakes, polyps or elephants, which populate the collection. There are rings, pendants and bracelets in gold, but covered with a pavé of colored stones, with silhouettes that are inspired by the jewels of the Masai people. The material used is the white gold or pink, with tsavorites or sapphires and quartz, to which we add diamonds in the white version, or blacks, in harmony with the color of the continent. In particular this year debuted gekko, rose gold or white gold version and tsavorites. Lavinia Andorno
Cartier, Cactus collection
Desire to wear something different: Cartier decided to take a very pointed way with the Cactus collection. To the plant that grows in sunny and dry places, but capable of glowing blooms, are inspired by the jewels of the collection presented in Paris. In addition to assume forms that resemble plants bristling with thorns, the jewelry often take up the colors of cactus, through the use of stones like emerald, chrysoprase or carnelian. In some cases the stones are treated as beads mounted close to each other, in a sort of gibbous surface. In all, the collection consists of 13 pieces, with the yellow gold that is well suited to the dry climate of the cacti, where also flourish diamonds, lapis lazuli and tanzanite. All jewels are XL size: impossible not to notice them. On the other hand, all good things have hidden thorns. Lavinia Andorno
