Alo Yoga meditation jewels

Published on February 22, 2024

Yoga jewelry. But it is not necessary to wear them while practicing an asana exercise. The idea comes from Alo Yoga, an American company specializing in clothing dedicated to those who practice the ancient Indian discipline or, more easily, the muscle relaxation technique widespread in the West. In any case, Alo Yoga, alongside leggings and sweatshirts, now also offers a collection dedicated to those who practice yoga or meditation.

Modella con le collane di Alo Yoga — Model with Alo Yoga necklaces

The capsule collection includes four pieces: necklaces composed of spheres of stones such as quartz, tiger’s eye, white turquoise and black onyx. The necklaces are made with 108 beads, a number that should be useful for reciting mantras. In the center is the Be Here pendant in 18k gold-plated palladium. The jewelery is made by an all-female team of Tibetan artisans and a portion of each sale will be donated to the care and education of children at the Manjushree Vidyapeth Orhpanage in the eastern Himalayas. The price is 215 euros or dollars.

Geometries and precious stones: the amazing story of Heena Shah and her Valani Atelier ♦ ︎

Forget the story of the little girl who loved to play with her grandmother’s jewels and grew up to be a designer. No. Heena Shah, originally from India, worked as an engineer at Google. From algorithms to gems: it was not a simple jump. But now she is satisfied and has known success with her Maison, Valani Atelier, based in New York.

Bracciale Stella con smeraldi e diamanti — Stella bracelet with emeralds and diamonds

The story of change, on the other hand, passes through the designer’s husband, who is part of an ancient family of gem merchants. For over 80 years, in fact, the Valani family has been buying precious stones directly from mines all over the world and employing artisans who work with traditional techniques. The designer is passionate about art and sculpture and at some point in her life she decided to travel. Before with her husband in Hong Kong, and then through the mines of half the world. The passion for sculpture and the discovery of the beauty of gems did the rest of her.

To become a jeweler, however, one step was missing: learning the trade. This is why Heena Shah attended design courses at the Gemological Institute of America in New York. The engineering profession has probably helped the designer in her design work. And in a short time she has collected several awards for her work, including an Agta Spectrum Award, a WJA Diva Award and the Platinum Innovation Award, while this year a diamond and emerald bracelet came first in the InStore Design Awards category. The style of Atelier Valani ranges between classic and modern: some jewels follow a kind of Nordic minimalism, others have an aspect that corresponds more to the typical canons of jewelery.

The 10 least expensive Tiffany bracelets

Published on December 4, 2023

Showroom

Are you looking for a Tiffany bracelet? You don’t have to rob a bank. Here are 10 less expensive Tiffany bracelets: review with pictures and prices ♦ ︎

Tiffany and Co has a long history behind it: it was founded in 1837 and has become a jewelry giant, with over 300 stores in 27 countries. Not only that: it sells jewels for about 4,4 billion dollars (in 2019). Among other things, in recent years Tiffany has also been committed “to reducing environmental impact, respecting human rights and contributing positively to communities”, with careful management regarding gold, which is extracted exclusively from a mine that is identified publicly or from recycled sources.

This is to say that the brand is historical, but at the same time remains modern, current and refined. But Tiffany’s jewels are also considered, erroneously, unattainable, of an inaccessible luxury. This is true with regard to high jewelery or pieces in gold and large precious stones. But it does not correspond to reality for silver jewels, even design, which can be purchased at a cost really affordable for everyone. Here, for example, the 10 least expensive Tiffany bracelets (prices updated in December 2023). The novelty concerns the bracelets which are sold exclusively online. All bracelets are in silver.

The bohemian style of Gigi Clozeau

Published on October 2, 2023

Showroom

Gypsy-style bracelets and necklaces, perfect for the beach or hot summers: the jewels by Gigi Clozeau recall Saint-Tropez, a glass of pastis and the scents of the Mediterranean. But they are sold in America, where Gigi Clozeau moved from her native France: she lived in the Marais district of Paris, where her father’s laboratory was based. She did not abandon her professional roots, however, since her father Alain was a jeweler and designer, her mother an artist. You made your debut designing jewelry with emeralds, before choosing a path less tied to luxury and classic models.

The Gigi Clozeau brand focuses on lightness, simplicity, colors, with a Seventies nuance that allows you to wear bracelets and necklaces with an informal style, regardless of the rest. The jewels are made with thin 18-karat yellow, pink or white gold chains, diamonds, coral or resin beads. They are jewels designed to be worn with several turns, better if different models together.

Nostalgia for Portugal with Andrew Geoghegan

Published on January 17, 2023

Showroom

The Portuguese word costeira means coast (of the sea, of a lake). And, in fact, Andrew Geoghegan‘s Costeira collection is inspired by the Portuguese coast sculpted by the strong Atlantic winds, between sea and cliffs. It is a very windy area and where the wind blows, kites also fly. Perhaps this is why the mini collection (which includes only three bracelets) is made up of small elements with the shape of a kite. But another interesting aspect of the collection is that the kites form a border that fits perfectly to another bracelet, with an easy stacking system.

Andrew Geoghegan, based in Leeds (Great Britain), was Designer of the Year 2014 for the British Jewelery Association and Editor’s Choice at International Jewelery London 2015. But he began his professional life as a sculptor: his experiments with metal made it possible to understand the characteristics and potential of the base material of the jewelry. The designer combines the sculptural shape of his jewels with a passion for technical invention, with the precision of an engineer. He also has a degree in Three-dimensional Design, specialized courses, short-term apprenticeships and, in an informal note, years on the bench.

Introduced in September 2022 in the USA, launched globally in early January 2023: Tiffany & Co. is the first jewelery Maison to occupy the novelty space in the new year with its Tiffany Lock collection. It is not a simple revival of the collection already seen: in addition to the bracelets presented in the United States, rose gold rings, earrings and necklaces are added to the collection. But that’s not all: Tiffany has already announced new variants, which will be shown throughout the year. The main feature of the Lock collection concerns the bracelet: a rotating mechanism allows the jewels to open and close easily. And it also explains the name of the jewelry line.

The global launch of the collection still features the face of Korean star Rosé of girl band Blackpink. The young artist wears Lock bracelets with diamonds and also wants to be the symbol of the Tiffany woman, no longer (or not only) a mature lover of the jewels of the American brand in an attempt to look like Audrey Hepburn, but a young person tuned into the passions of millennials and generations Z.

Pearls and design with Mizuki

Anello in oro con perla barocca e diamanti

The delicate and refined pearls by the Japanese-American designer Mizuki Goltz ♦

The cult of pearls has arrived in the West from the East. In particular, from Japan, where over a century ago the cultivation of molluscs that generate these delicate spheres began. It is not surprising, therefore, that Mizuki Goltz uses mainly pearls for her jewels. The designer is a perfect bridge between refined and essential Japanese design and the minimal taste of the West, especially that of the North. She explains that her collections reflect her cultural background.

Mizuki graduated in sculpture at the School of Visual Arts in New York, but then decided to combine her love for fashion and the arts with jewelry, along with fellow artist Alan Goltz. The adventure began in 1996 in a loft in downtown Soho, New York, and has grown to become a life in New York and California. But she often returns to his hometown, Tokyo, to regain contact with oriental culture. Her seemingly simple jewels have received many awards, such as the Town and Country 2017 Pearls of the Year award. In 2016, she won the Pearl Design award at Centurion and the prestigious Pearl Design award at the Couture Show in Las Vegas. Prices of her jewels (on sale online): on average from 1500 to 30,000 dollars.

Giovanni Raspini in the myth of Jackie

Published on November 11, 2022

Showroom

Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis, née Bouvier, was the first lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963, as the wife of President John F. Kennedy. But she Jackie, as she was familiarly called, was also an influencer before social networks existed. She has been a model for fashion and the so-called jet-set, and over time she has become a myth. Perhaps Giovanni Raspini thought of her in the proposal for the Jackie collection. Characteristic of the collection is the use of silver with hollow barrel processing and the insertion of double turned rings, welded by hand with a geometric rhythm. This technique allows you to get large jewelry, but with a light weight, more easily wearable.

Gioielli della collezione Jackie indossati

Like other flagship collections of the Florentine brand, Jackie is also offered in two different versions: versions, one in traditional silver and the other in gilded silver. For each version there is a necklace, three bracelets and two earrings of the same shape, but different sizes.

Pandora calls Spider-Man

Published on November 6, 2022

Showroom

A new feat for Spider-Man: hooking onto the wrist, or neck, of girls. Nothing inconvenient: the company concerns aesthetics and is made with a special thread, created by Pandora. The new Marvel x Pandora collection features jewelry inspired by the super hero created by writer-publisher Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, who first appeared on the pages of the Amazing Fantasy comic in August 1962. But it was mostly cinema. , with a successful series of films, to make Spider-Man even more popular.

Pandora’s jewels dedicated to Spider-Man were made with a particular technique. A bracelet inspired by the Spider-Man mask is made of cubic zirconia and charms that reflect the movements of the hero. The jewelry has been hand finished in 925 sterling silver and features a cubic zirconia pave, alongside enamel inserts. The bracelet was engraved with the iconic phrase “From great power comes great responsibility”. Perhaps it also applies to wearing it.

Picchiotti launches two-sided bracelets and rings

Published on October 20, 2022

Showroom

Bracciale reversibile in oro bianco, diamanti, madreperla

High jewelry is (almost) always beautiful. But it is rarer to find high jewelry that is beautiful and also intelligent. The new Reversible Xpandable collection by Picchiotti corresponds to this identikit. The collection, consisting of nine bracelets and two rings, combines aesthetics with luxury, but also with ingenuity. These are jewels with a double face: bracelets and rings can be worn by choosing one of the two surfaces, external or internal (but the distinction in this case makes little sense). The double-sided opportunity is offered by the mechanism that the Italian high jewelery brand based in Valenza has long patented. Xpandable is a system that makes rings and bracelets flexible, without showing any springs or elastic. The result is jewelry that is particularly pleasant to wear.

Bracciale Reversible Xpandable in oro rosa, corallo, diamanti, ceramica — Bracciale Reversible Xpandable in oro, corallo, diamanti, ceramica

The jewels are made of 18 karat gold, pink, yellow or white, with diamonds and colored stones such as onyx, turquoise, sapphire, but also coral, mother of pearl and ceramic. Xpandable reversible necklaces and earrings will also be available soon.

In over five decades of brilliance, a common complaint of women I have met has been the sense of hesitation in wearing their fine jewelry every day, especially diamonds, or the sense of limitation in relation to color coordinating colored gemstones. I love the idea of a technology that can solve problems! In the same way that we solved the problems of ring sizing and bulky bracelet clasps with our Xpandable technology, we have now addressed the problem of design versatility. Our new bracelets feature completely different designs: luxurious diamonds on one side and solid gold on the other, or sapphires on one side for wearing with cool shades in the wardrobe and rubies on the other for wearing with blacks, neutrals and more toned fabrics. hot. We have just started! The entire design team is thrilled with excitement as the possibilities for design combinations are endless.
Giuseppe Picchiotti, founder of the Maison

The characteristic of the reversible jewels proposed by Picchiotti is also a greater adaptability to the needs of the wearer. Even if the bracelets are very precious objects, they can at the same time also be suitable for less formal situations or attire, while the opposite surface can be used for an evening or a ceremony. Also, bracelets and rings are meant to be stackable.

Kulto 925 tennis bracelets, with volée

Published on October 15, 2022

Showroom

Bracciale in argento con cubic zirconia bianchi e zzurri

Anyone who plays tennis knows that a match is made up of many different shots, which are also the expression of the player’s inspiration. Tennis bracelets may also be subject to some small variations, which testifies to the inventiveness in a model that is usually quite static. An example are the bracelets of Kulto 925, a brand of the Diffusione Orologi group (which also distributes OpsObjects bijoux). As it is easy to guess from the name of the brand itself, these are jewels in silver, in the natural color, or with yellow gold rhodium plating, with the classic soft shape of tennis bracelets.

The variant, in this case, concerns the stones used, white or colored cubic zirconia. Unlike the classic tennis bracelet, in fact, in this case the stones are cut in baguettes, that is, with a rectangular area. The bracelets offered at a price of 89 euros use stones of the same color, or alternating different shades (blue or green). This is also a variation of the game, as if it were a volée.

Her bracelet from the Cascade Collection won the Couture Award 2022 in the Best in Gold Jewelry category.

The rest of the extensive Cascade collection by Ileana Makri also follows the same style, adding references to the fluidity of water, which meets the geometry that precedes the art deco style. Alongside 18-karat gold and diamonds, jewels are often combined with emeralds, with some variations in rubies and sapphires. Earrings, necklaces and bracelets are the most present shapes in the line, even if there are rings, quite simple.

Ileana Makri, a Greek jewelry designer, made her debut with her Maison in Athens in 1996. She has an international profile and her jewels are also sold through the major online platforms. Yet, before becoming a jewelry designer, Ileana Makri graduated in Business Administration. But then she followed her true passion of hers and studied jewelry design at Gia, in Santa Monica, California. In addition to her travels, Ileana continues to draw inspiration from multicultural symbols and their meaning.

Orecchino indossato della linea Couture di Yeprem

If you still think that wearing jewelry is the same as putting a ring on your finger, wearing earrings, showing off a necklace or surrounding your wrist with a bracelet, you are left behind. The world is running and jewelry is evolving, even the high-end one. Proof of this is Yeprem, a high jewelery Maison that has long since embarked on a new path, as in its Couture line. Alongside traditional jewels, Yeprem proposes compositions of white gold and diamonds that embrace parts of the body with unusual shapes and aesthetic effect. They are defined as “jewels for the hand” in the case of pieces intended to cross the back and appear on the palm.

As for the earrings, even Yeprem has chosen to evolve them into one of the many new shapes that have met the favor of the public. And bracelets are no longer just a circle that is worn at the end of the wrist, but jewels that snake around the arm and hand, with surprising autonomy. The jewels also increase the sensation of movement thanks to the dual choice of diamond cut, brilliant and marquise.

The new Tiffany Lock bracelets

Showroom/Tiffany

New Tiffany bracelets. They are those of the Lock collection, a line launched in August. The new collection debuts with four rigid gold bangle, with models also with pavé diamonds. They are bracelets that, in intentions, are gender fluid, in the wake of the undifferentiated proposal for the wearer.

Tiffany Lock is an elegant interpretation of functional archival design, defined by clean, modern lines and a revolutionary locking mechanism. Tiffany Lock represents an exciting new pillar to our diamond and gold jewelry offering. We are thrilled to unveil our latest icon.
Alexandre Arnault, executive vice president, products and communications, Tiffany & Co.

The bracelets are made of 18-karat yellow and pink gold and, as the images of Mario Sorrenti and Raymond Meier with model Imaan Hammam and skateboarder Tyshawn Jones also confirm, they are designed for everyone. The idea is that of a padlock bracelet, with an allusion to the handcuffs genre. The closure features an innovative swivel mechanism that incorporates the functionality of a padlock.

Before the 1950s, in fact, Tiffany also offered real padlocks: key rings, money clips, brooches and necklaces featured design elements that evoked padlocks. Over the past 20 years, the lock pattern has continued to evolve in collections such as Return to Tiffany and Tiffany HardWear. The four Tiffany Lock bracelets are priced in the US between $ 6,800 and $ 32,000, but more models will be launched starting next January.

New York hosts the first exhibition dedicated to David Webb, a historical name of American jewelry. Among the most famous jewels of the Maison are the bracelets in the shape of animals, which are the subject of the exhibition. They are bracelets carved and enameled, with gold and precious stones set. All jewelry has been made in New York premises starting in 1948. David Webb gained fame after working as an apprentice for a jeweler uncle. In 1962, David Webb’s jewels won First Lady Jackie Kennedy as official state gifts.

Spilla a forma di rana del 1964 con i disegni originali

David Webb’s first animal bracelet dates back to 1957 and by 1963 the company had produced an entire bestiary, featuring frogs, horses, zebra (the company’s mascot), monkeys, snakes, elephants and big cats. By the end of the Sessamta years, the smart set and all of Hollywood wore David Webb’s animal bracelets. The New York exhibition is titled A Walk in the Woods: David Webb’s Artful Animals and takes place at the Madison Avenue flagship store in New York City from September 19 to October 2. In addition to the jewels, the exhibition includes preparatory drawings, as well as photos and videos made by Noah Kalina.

Mark Davis, gold, diamonds and bakelite

The ultra-vintage bracelets by Mark Davis, the old bakelite brought back to life ♦ ︎

There are simple, popular jewels, like the modular bracelets. There are the jewels of super luxury, like the bracelets of Cartier or Bulgari. And there are niche jewels, reserved for fans of a certain genre, such as vintage jewelry. Finally, there are ultra-niche jewels. Thus defines his production Mark Davis, who founded his brand in 1999, proudly in Brooklyn, New York, where he proudly produces his jewels. Why ultra-niche? Well, because the bracelets, which make up a large part of the production, are unique pieces. Not only. They are made with Bakelite. Not only. This is Bakelite recovered from objects made before the Second World War.

The idea of producing such sophisticated jewelry goes along with a rigorous corporate ethics: no use of gems from a group or a country that engages or supports illegal, inhuman or terrorist activities, no coral, ivory or any other material derived from fauna or flora listed as threatened or threatened. It also opposes the use of coral and antique or vintage ivory. Finally, every year, Mark Davis donates some jewels for fundraising events to charitable organizations. That said, all that remains is to look at the Mark Davis jewelery. Most are rigid bracelets, even with acid, bright colors, and with gold threads and small precious and semi-precious stones that are used to increase the value of jewelry. The bracelets, which make up the bulk of the catalog, were then joined by earrings and rings, also in Bakelite.

Bracciale Raspberry in oro 14 carati, zaffiri, opale

Rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, Raynaud’s syndrome and colitis. It doesn’t seem like a particularly pleasant picture. But the consequences of an old car accident were, paradoxically, the spring that pushed Joie DiGiovanni, born in Philadelphia and with a name that indicates family origins in Italy, to focus on jewelry. In 2013 Joie launched her brand while working in sales for a clothing chain. Objective: to offer quality jewels, but suitable for non-formal, fun, colorful clothing. After three years of running in, the brand took off also thanks to the personal aesthetic chosen for the jewels.

At the center of Joie DiGiovanni’s work are colored necklaces and bracelets made with ruby, emerald and sapphire spheres, high quality hand-picked faceted stones, mounted in 14-karat gold. The gems are joined by an unbreakable thread: a long necklace can be wrapped in several turns without fear of breaking. The idea of using such a wide palette also offers the possibility of infinite variations. Baroque pearls are often added to the stones. Another feature of the designer is the proposal of alternative jewels, for example those with the design of the cannabis leaf, in gold and diamonds.

Another medical aspect, however, concerns Dara, Joie’s younger sister who joined the company as a production assistant. Dara was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome and today the sisters are involved in helping communities that provide ongoing services to children with this disorder.

Bracciale in oro rosa, diamanti, smeraldi, zaffiri rosa

How many things can you do with a paper clip? In an office several. But even in jewelry the shape of the clip can give life to many dreams. As in the case of the Clip collection launched just a year ago by Gismondi 1754 and which now arrives at the launch at the Couture in Las Vegas in a version of high jewelery. The shape is always the same: a double line in pink or white gold that folds back on itself and matches the end. In short, a soft but, above all, precious staple. Even in the ideal concept behind the collection: something that unites without losing the single individuality as it is (or should be) in couple relationships.

The new version, Clip High Jewelry, maintains the style of the Genoese Maison of ancient roots (as the name indicates), with the addition of precious stones such as white or fancy diamonds, emeralds and pink sapphires, offered in different combinations. Rings, bracelets and earrings are thus added to the flagships of the line, high jewelery necklaces and earrings presented months ago and with top-of-the-range prices (126,000 and 60,000 euros respectively). On the other hand, at the recent DJWE 2022 in Doha, the Genoese company concluded direct sales for 615,000 euros, including a gold and diamond ring for 240,000 euros, a set consisting of a necklace, earrings and a ring of 200,000 euros and a necklace from Abbraccio collection for 134,000 euros.

Habibi, word which in Arabic means treasure, in relation to the loved one. And it is also the word chosen by the Roman Farnese Gioielli as the name of her collection, to which bracelets are now added. The jewels complete the collection whose distinctive element is the closure, made up of two elements: the rigid bracelet and the spine with the mobile and interchangeable pavé of precious stones, which is the personal contribution of the creative director Barbara Polli, who in 2012 founded the Maison together with Alberto Serraino.

The closing system is innovative and fits into the system called spine: it is an interchangeable semi-rigid module for which Farnese Gioielli holds a patent in 70 countries around the world. The system allows, in practice, to change the external part of the jewel, which is elastic, and to maintain the supporting structure. Habib bracelets, in particular, use 140 gems, while the spine module is made of white, yellow or pink gold. The stones used are diamonds or pink, yellow or orange sapphires, as well as in the variant in blue sapphires or rubies. The jewel is also customizable in the combinations of gold and stones.

The art of seeing black

Published on April 14, 2022

Showroom/Rings

The new jewels by Jacqueline Cullen, designer who prefers the black color Whitby jet ♦

Sometimes seeing black can be a luxury: she knows this, Jacqueline Cullen, designer specializing in Whitby jet jewelery. Since it is very easy you don’t know what it is, you better explain: Whitby jet is a black fossil material, similar to lignite, which was formed in 180 million years. It is very soft to be worked and is also used to make jewelry. In particular, it is associated with the Victorian era mourning jewelry. The fashion to wear these jewels, in fact, was started by Queen Victoria, after the death of her husband, Prince Albert.

Jacqueline Cullen has chosen the Whitby jet, trying to enhance the material, carved hand. The fossil material is then combined with gold and diamonds, blacks of course, with some concessions to the hue champagne in rare cases. The result has a certain charm and, in any case, is distinguished from the rest of the common jewelry. But the designer doesn’t just use the Whitby jet. She also loves composing her jewels with Botswana agate together with champagne diamonds, or with stones such as spectrolite or black jade.
