Where Yeprem dares

//




Dare to be Yeprem. The idea of ​​the Lebanese Maison specializing in dizzying diamond jewelry pays tribute to female emancipation with the intention of satisfying pride and shedding light on the women they choose to inspire and empower. This, at least, is the starting point. The arrival one is made up of a series of jewels with unpredictable paths, as if to symbolize the tortuous path that a woman must take to reach the destination.

Whether they are symbols or not, the series of high jewelry called Dare to be Yeprem includes a series of rings-bracelets that follow the shape of the hand, adapting to the volume of the wrist and fingers. They are like diamond tendrils that envelop the body and sparkle with an unprecedented effect, impossible to ignore. The line is completed by Claw (we have already talked about it here): an unprecedented (and a little aggressive) jewel that is worn on the palm of the hand and is admired on the back.

The vintage Bakelite and gem bracelets by Mark Davis

/




Bakelite jewels are very popular. Bakelite, according to Wikipedia, is a resin obtained from formaldehyde and phenol. This resin is often added to a filler material, such as wood flour, graphite, mica, diatomaceous earth and dyes. In the past it has been used for electrotechnical elements, electrical switches, electricity sockets, pot handles. So what does it have to do with jewelry? Yet Mark Davis‘ Bakelite earrings and bracelets are also sold also for $ 32,000 each.

The jeweler is based in Brooklyn and has chosen to offer bracelets in a vintage style. Bakelite is the base, but to this it also adds small precious or semi-precious stones. Davis makes Bakelite from modern antiques such as jukeboxes and kitchen utensils. The result is surprising: treated and worked, the bakelite turns into a lively jewel, with strong colors and marbled shades of brown, red and pink, dotted with contrasting color stones (of ethical origin, the designer specifies), like garnet, peridot citrine. They are lively bracelets, large and immediately visible. Better to combine them with simple fabrics, better if they are of a single color, and avoid wearing other jewels with too generous dimensions.

The smoke of Bibi Van Der Velde

///




There is the smoke of a cigarette, there is that of a fire, there is that (imaginary) that clouds the brain. But try to grab the smoke. Impossible, at least with your hands. The Dutch designer Bibi van der Velde, on the other hand, has succeeded. But to grab the smoke she had to turn it into jewels. Smoke is the name of the new collection of one of the most imaginative creators of jewelry. It goes without saying that the jewels are a poetic transposition of the swirls of smoke.

Anello in oro bianco18 carati con spinello nero
Anello in oro bianco18 carati con spinello nero

The collection’s choker, for example, is designed as a line of smoke that curls elegantly around the neck. It is proposed in two versions: one in simple 18-karat gold and one with diamonds, sapphires and spinels set, or in pure 18-karat white gold and is intertwined with gray stones, composed of white and gray diamonds, white sapphires and gray spinels, for capturing the movement of a plume of smoke. The collection stems from Bibi van der Velde’s explorations of the forms of smoke in sculpture, translated into jewels. An exploration that the designer summarizes in this exchange Oscar Wilde: Do you mind if I smoke? Sarah Bernhardt: I don’t care if you burn.

Mallary Marks rainbows

She works in Manhattan, New York, in a laboratory on Riverside just across the Hudson River. It is present with an account on Instagram, but does not (at the moment) have a website: Mallary Marks is an exception among the jewelry brands. But this low profile has not reduced its popularity: Mallary Marks jewels are appreciated, sold online on many web platforms. Thanks also, of course, to the quality of the jewels it offers: very colorful, with many gems, cheerful. And inspired by painters like Odilion Redon and Henri Matisse, Mallary’s favorites.

A career that began in 1990, with the aim of designing unique and limited edition pieces, almost exclusively earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Before opening her workshop, the designer studied sculpture, painting, design and metalworking at the Rhode Island School of Design. She has also traveled a lot and experimented enough to identify an original style: she uses stones with often original cuts or simply without facets. She and she is also committed to the cause of the LGBT communities. It is no coincidence that in her catalog there is no shortage of necklaces and rainbow bracelets.

Harika’s geometries

/




In 2006 she was in New York representing a Turkish designer. A role that, however, was tight for Harika Ustaoglu. So she decided it was time to launch herself into the world of jewelry. The Istanbul designer, who lives and works in the American city, created her own line of jewelry and, in 2014, a brand that has her name: Harika. She took the first steps thanks to the goldsmiths of the Turkish city, in charge of translating the designs of her collections into gold and precious stones, until she found support directly in the USA.

The jewelry design is very modern and undoubtedly original: very geometric shapes, very modern and abstract, with designs that are inspired, she says, even by details captured as she walks the streets of the city. The stones are also cut in an unusual way. The jewels are made of 14 and 18 karat gold and use diamonds of every color, as well as stones such as aquamarine, sapphire, beryl, quartz. A bracelet of hers made it to the Couture finalists in the diamonds under $ 20K category.

The Mediterranean Diet of Jrs

//




With Jrs all the nuances of Mediterranean cultures in the jewels of Julien Riad Sahyoun ♦ ︎

The mix of relationships, friendships, cultures is often a winning weapon. It opens the mind and, in the case of jewelery, opens the way for creativity This is the brackground of Julien Riad Sahyoun, born in Casablanca, Morocco but with French, Italian and Lebanese origins. In short, a juice of the Mediterranean Sea. It tells of itself as a nature lover, the kind of person who collects gems, rocks, fossils and minerals from a boy. From minerals to precious gems the step is short. His attitude led him to study at Gia in New York and California.

He then followed the trafila of experiences suitable to learn on the field the decisive nuances of stones and metals, and the secrets to forge and work the gold. The passion for nature has not abandoned it, but has evolved into a jewel brand, Jrs, distinguished by its specific ability to create jewels that have a pattern that reminiscent of reptile armor or rocky surfaces . But without forgetting signs like that of infinity, repeated infinitely. But perhaps the collection that Julien Riad Sahyoun likesmore is named Just Rebel Star: it has the very initials of his name, maybe he is also a kind of selfie.

Calla collection by Vhernier is blooming again





The calla, a flower that never fades in the Vhernier house, continues to bloom in similar but different forms. In fact, for autumn 2021, the Calla collection returns in the form of new variations on the theme. The collection, which turns 23, is one of the longest-lived: a sign that many still appreciate it. And it is also thanks to the ability to periodically immerse the jewels in a bath of freshness.

The latest evolution is Calla Whip, a collection consisting of bracelets and rings, offered in different combinations, in which the conical elements curve gently to wrap around the wrists and fingers. The bracelet is the interpretation of the slave bracelet, a classic of jewelry that was missing from the maison’s proposals and which combines ergonomics with portability. Rings and bracelets are offered in three combinations: rose gold, rose gold with black titanium, black titanium and diamonds.

Last note: matt black titanium, the absolute protagonist in this collection, is one of the innovations that Vhernier has brought to the world of jewelry, a further expression of the brand’s sober aesthetic and the ability to mix unusual materials with the most precious ones.

Buddha to Buddha, guru’s bracelets

//




Eastern spirituality and Western practicality: it is the philosophy of the Dutch brand Buddha to Buddha ♦ ︎

The best method to create jewelry? Meditate. But Batul Loomans, the founder of the Buddha to Buddha brand, would say that meditation, yoga and silence are the best way to live. It is a strange story that of Buddha to Buddha. Batul, Dutch, like many Western boys has been fascinated by oriental spirituality. In 1992 in Goa, in the meditation center of the guru Osho, and after working for a couple of weeks with Mother Teresa in Calcutta, he drew the first bracelet while he was on the beach.

A conversation with a master’s disciple then determined what the name of his activity should be: Buddha to Buddha. The first bracelet, called Batul, was then brought to Reflections, a high fashion store in Amsterdam. It seems to have been successful, partly because the jewel inspired a model of life in scope. In short, since then Buddha to Buddha wants to be a special jewelery brand, which has a direct connection with Eastern spirituality.

Bracelets, rings and pendants are made with a blend of design and tradition of craftsmanship.

The jewels are made in Indonesia: the brand specifies that it takes three to five days of work to compose the complex chains, with 28 pieces needed to make the locking mechanism that also becomes the logo of each jewel. The silver is liquefied by the heat of the open flame and then modeled into small precious elements. Double-intertwined in the silver variants and in those with onyx or agate details, the chain becomes a bracelet or ring. The rings reproduce the classic sweater in a band effect, with evident dimensions. The bracelets and rings also use a tightly woven tubular mesh with clasp.

The new Princess Flowers by Roberto Coin




Beautiful things do not go away. And the things you like are renewed over time. Years ago Roberto Coin launched the Princess Flower collection, which met with widespread approval. The collection, therefore, was cultivated as a plant that ripens fruit every year. In fact, also for the 2021-2022 season, the Venetian Maison presents new pieces from the collection. But these are not just small variations on the theme, because completely new elements have also been introduced. However, the creative style that characterizes the Princess line remains unchanged, including the Princess Flower variant, which consists of the characteristic processing of the twisted thread, a tradition of ancient Venetian goldsmiths, used here as a three-dimensional frame surrounding the icon of the flower.

The collection is always inspired by the floral decorations of the Venetian palaces. The small decorative flower designed in Princess jewels is reworked to become the protagonist of the collection. The corolla is revealed in all its shades made of gold and precious stones. The production process of Princess Flower involves a work of perfect balance between the technology that develops the entire internal structure of the jewel and the hands of the craftsmen who assemble flower by flower and decorate its petals, which feature a pavé of diamonds, or surfaces made with malachite, onyx, mother of pearl.

The new Picchiotti color bracelet

//




Picchiotti is one of the great Italian Maison of high jewelery. Founded in 1967 by Giuseppe Picchiotti, it has established itself for the high quality of its jewels and for a recognizable style. By the way: this article is not the result of a commercial relationship with Picchiotti, but it is a free judgment. The premise simply serves to explain that the high or fine jewelery of the company from Valenza (Italy) has taken on very specific characteristics over the years. But, as in all stories, every now and then there is something new.

Bracciale in oro con zaffiri, inserti in ceramica

In fact, at Vicenzaoro September, Picchiotti presented a preview of wide rigid bracelets that represent a new stylistic path. The bracelets are made of gold, with a large central yellow sapphire, and inserts of white or black ceramic, enclosed by gold bands that draw an arabesque. Other colored sapphires, pink and blue, dot the surface. In short, a jewel that, alongside luxury, focuses on liveliness and perhaps a young woman, who loves color and more sporty clothing. Or she is simply attracted to original and quality jewelry.

Also in Vicenzaoro, the Maison also presented more traditional rings from the Xpandable collection, a patented system that adapts to the size of the fingers. The rings are of the eternity genre with baguette-cut diamonds of class D and F (the best quality), or with 18 aligned emerald-cut rubies, and surrounded by baguette-cut diamonds. Classic high jewelery signed Picchiotti.

The flowers of Ortaea

Mozambico’s flowers and diamonds, for bracelets, rings and earrings by Ortaea ♦ ︎

Ortaea is a brand founded in London that combines the Latin word Ortus which means origin, new beginnings and ancestry, and the name Gea, the goddess of the Earth and of Creation in Greek mythology. The idea is by Mita Vohra, who launched the jewelry brand in 2016. One of the latest collections is called Jardin and presents jewels with shapes inspired by flowers and plants.

The founder of Ortaea is the director of Sarova Hotels Kenya, and she sits on the boards of various property development companies and is a Trustee of the Sandy Vohra Foundation. And so, she has maintained a special contact with Africa. Also for this reason, perhaps, she has launched new jewels with rubies from Mozambique, Vivid Red or Pigeon: they are less common stones and therefore more expensive. The jewels of the Jardin collection mainly use rose gold, but some pieces are made of black rhodium-plated gold. Rings and earrings have the shape of flowers, with dense corollas of petals in which diamonds sprout. The jewels have generous dimensions, perhaps in homage to the exuberant flora of the African forests.

Stone and Strand’s secret

///




Why the luxury minimalism of the New York brand Stone and Strand has been successful ♦

Minimalism in New York is called Stone and Strand. The jewelery company founded by Nadine McCarthy Kahane, who grew up in Singapore and London, has staked everything on small forms and lightness, which also mean low prices. The entrepreneur and designer had the idea of ​​a high-end jewelry of this type while pursuing her MBA at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, a university that, among others, was also attended by Donald Trump, Elon Musk (Tesla) and the financier Warren Buffett. Who knows, maybe it will also be for this reason that Stone and Strand is an idea of ​​success.

Collana Rainbow multigemme
Collana Rainbow multigemme

Stone and Strand produces and sells its own jewelry, but it is also a marketplace for other jewelry designers, as long as they are consistent with Nadine’s aesthetic philosophy. Most jewels are made of 10 carat gold, while diamonds and precious stones used are 100% natural from countries without conflict. A successful part of the New York Maison is also due to the marketing ability, with a website that is full of seductive photos, with jewels worn. The opposite of the vast majority of websites, which are freeezed with a few images of the best jewels in the catalog, often years old. And this is another idea of ​​the founder of the brand, which had the goal of making the world of fine jewelry more cheerful. She has succeeded.

The precious architecture of Ena Iro

The architectural jewels of the sophisticated designer Ena Iro: bracelets inspired by ancient African, Japanese, Byzantine art …

Bracelets that are inspired by the ancient masks of the Punu tribe, in central Africa. We all agree that it is not a very used subject in jewelry. Yet the work of Ena Iro, who lives and works in Geneva, is surprising. The young designer, who was born in Gabon, started studying and designing her own jewels in 2010. But, compared to the work she does, eight years are few. The architectural complexity of her large bracelets requires months of work and, in some cases, even over a year to combine all the gold threads that make up the weft and the warp with which the jewels are made.

Her bracelets, like the rings, are large, but surprisingly also light and not difficult to wear, and a couple of years ago they surprised visitors to GemGèneve, where the designer was present. A bit like some traditional African jewels. Yet, another surprise, the designer loves to combine the arabesques of ancient mosques and African folk art with the light Japanese style. The Eshira bracelet, for example, is the result of this fusion, which also includes Byzantine architecture.

Ananya’s jewels, one of the best Indian designers who came to the Couture ♦ ︎

She surprised everyone at the Couture Design Awards 2019, where she was among the finalists in the Best in Debuting category. Indiana, born into a family deeply rooted in the fashion industry, Ananya Malhotra studied the world of jewelry in London, where she graduated from Central Saint Martins, but also in the US at Gia. The studies in London get it clear why her jewels are not only part of the highest category, but also because they are designed in a style that celebrates Indian craftsmanship with Western taste. Abundant, but not opulent. But does not wonder that the designer also considers her jewels as talismans endowed with energy, in pure Indian spiritualism.

Before being get up at Couture in Las Vegas, Ananya was awarded the Suffragettes Design Award, where she designed a pin for women scientists and Nobel Prize winners. She was also chosen by Swarovski to design a piece for the Runway Rocks fashion show. And before debuting with her Maison, Ananya, the designer worked for one of India’s largest jewelers, Amrapali. She is inspired, she says, by Art Nouveau and surrealism, a pictorial current that fascinates her also thanks to her studies in the field of psychology. One of her latest works is the customizable Chakra collection. It is made up of wearable, stackable and colorful jewels.

With Messika there are 297 bracelets in motion

/




In this moment in the world there are: a) great desire to get back to moving, b) great desire to show one’s personality, c) great interest in showing that you have your own personality. Messika, the queen of diamonds made in Paris, intercepts these ambitions with a new collection. Or, better, with a bracelet that renews the historic & iconic Move collection. The My Move bracelet has the dual purpose of adapting to the personality of the wearer and also being fun, like the collection from which it derives.

The first option is the result of the 297 combinations made possible by the nine motifs offered by the metal: white, pink or yellow gold, simple gold, gold with pavé and titanium (black, graphite, natural). All multiplied by 33 leather bracelets of different colors. And the leather bracelet is interchangeable. Obviously, the characteristic feature of the Messika Move collection is not lacking: the diamond that moves within the jewel and which is at the origin of the name of this line of jewelry designed by Valérie Messika.

The star of Wald Berlin

The jewels of Wald Berlin, a brand just born, but which has been immediately successful with its bijoux made by women and grandmothers ♦ ︎

Berlin is one of the most dynamic cities in Europe from a couple of decades. After the meeting between East and West Germany, the wind of rebirth has invigorated not only the business, but also culture and design. Thus were born trends and designers who have brought a different contribution, thanks to the international atmosphere that is breathed in the city. One example is the two founders of Wald Berlin, who opened a bijoux boutique. Their proposals, in a short time, were appreciated also outside the German city and now they are also commercialized on platforms like Luisaviaroma.

Behind the Wald Berlin brand are Joyce Binneboese and Dana Roski, a former model and fashion designer.

After starting their work, years ago they also took a rest in which they traveled, for example in Bali, and during the Berlin Fashion Week 2018, on their return, they presented the jewels of the Juicy collection. Their style, in fact, is a mix that reflects their experiences and cultures encountered around the world, from oriental craftsmanship to New York design. The Juicy collection, for example, consists of 19 jewels made of materials including real shells, freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals, silver and gold-plated silver. All the bijoux are handmade in Berlin, by “women and grandmothers”, Wald specifies. Lavinia Andorno
