The social bracelet of Nomination





Nomination focuses on sharing with the Composable bracelet. Alessandro Gensini, marketing manager explains it in this interview ♦ ︎

If Facebook is the social network emblem of sharing experiences, emotions, images, Nomination is the first jewelery brand to focus on the concept of exchange or, better, of connection. At the base of this idea is a product that is unique in the world of jewelry: the Composable bracelet. A jewel that, in the intentions of the Tuscan company lends itself perfectly to be shared. From this idea the one to me one campaign was born, which considers the different elements that make up the bracelets as links that connect with each other and, at the same time, connect people. As explained in this interview by Alessandro Gensini, marketing manager of Nomination.

With the “one to me one to you” campaign, Nomination is focusing on young people. In perspective, is it a strategic choice that involves the entire proposal of the company?
Nomination’s proposals have always been aimed at a transversal target and in our campaign this message is further emphasized by the fact that it is concentrated around the Composable bracelet which, thanks to the interchangeable links that allow infinite combinations of shapes and colors, is a jewel suitable for men and women of all ages. A bracelet that is a true intergenerational cult because it allows you to express your personality with letters and symbols that speak of you.
How is the initiative articulated?
The message behind the new campaign is an invitation to share that comes from the creation of your own Composable, whose links can be given away: this exchange creates special relationships and enriches the bracelet with new meanings. Thus the claim, “One to me, one to you” is an invitation to get in touch with others, in a continuous exchange of links that celebrate the essence of life, that is to say the bonds, as summarized also in the adv campaign.

How did the idea “one to me one to you” come about?
In an increasingly individualistic society, “One to me, one to you” is the voice that promotes an attitude of generous sharing while the modularity of each Nomination bracelet, that is the fact of being able to be enriched, composed but also decomposed with infinite link, favors the game of exchanges. Each Nomination bracelet is, ideally, the beginning of an intense and surprising life of relationships. Because living is sharing.
How was the communication made?
The communication was entrusted to the New York studio GB65, specialized in luxury brands, whose creative director, Giovanni Bianco, is also the director of the new commercials. The result was a commercial for television that has the rhythm and transport of a modern video clip with a young target, with a girl as protagonist and the world of relationships that are part of her life: friends, parents, children, the family. The added value given by GB65 was, on the one hand, to use an original language capable of reaching the new generations and, at the same time, that of conveying a message that had within us our values ​​and our DNA, with the plus of a product that was truly revolutionary for the world of jewelry.

Is the Composable bracelet offered in special versions dedicated to young people?
The Composable is a transversal bracelet by its very nature precisely because, thanks to the infinite variations of its links, everyone can find those that are more congenial to them and create their own personal version of their jewel. The strength of our bracelet is precisely that of having been the forerunner of the concept of links, central to the Internet era, even before it became mainstream.
Why does the proposal “one to me one to you” focus on the bracelet and not on earrings and necklaces?
Because the link is the heart of the Composable and the bracelet is a transversal jewel, suitable for both men and women, perfect for all ages. With a high coefficient of sharing, of course!
Nomination is a company that does not neglect a social commitment, with charity initiatives. Is the concept of sharing part of this philosophy?
Of course, the key message of our claim is to say no to individuality: the salt of life is relationships and having relationships also means caring for others, sharing what we have with those who have fewer possibilities, helping one another. another to improve our world day by day …

Nomination is very export-oriented. What is the situation for Italian jewelry at international level?
Italian jewelry, as far as we are concerned, is in good health abroad, especially when, beyond the border, the added values of Made in Italy and the national goldsmith tradition that characterize the products of the Italian flag are recognized. Italianity has always been a guarantee of a beautiful jewel, with a history and a recognizable DNA, attentive to trends and capable of bringing added value.
Which are the countries that give you the most satisfaction? And in Italy?
In Europe, the reference markets are Italy, England, Ireland, Poland, Austria and Russia. On an extra EU level the highest growth is recorded in the UAE and Korea. Nomination products are present in around 5,000 independent retailers and 113 single-brand franchises in the world: in Italy alone we have five directly managed stores, in Florence, Milan, Venice, Rome and Bari.

There are already so many links on the bracelet. Do you expect to add more?
The birth of the Composable links is continuous and does not stop: today there are 2,500 link references in our catalog. The themes and materials used for the sweaters are potentially endless: from small symbols to the initials of the name, from semi-precious stones to colored enamels, to natural diamonds …
What are the advantages that Nomination can offer compared to other brands?
The core values ​​of our company embody the excellence of Italian quality, given by a rigorous Made in Florence, supported by artisan quality, design, innovation and research that integrates synergies and family values. Without forgetting the fact that we have created the first personalized jewelery in steel and gold, the Composable …

The charm of Madagascar for Casato

//




The new Madagascar collection presented by Casato at VicenzaOro. The protagonists are topazes, amethysts and lemon quartz ♦ ︎

Madagascar is a large island located off the southern coast of Africa. But above all, it is a dream for those who love the sea and nature. It is a country where there are thousands of animal species, such as lemurs, which do not live anywhere else in the world, among rainforests, beaches and coral reefs. Not only: near the capital, Antananarivo, is the fascinating archaeological site of Ambohimanga, a complex of royal palaces and burials that stands on the top of some hills, among secular baobabs. All this to explain how, in the collective imagination, Madagascar is a place full of charm.

Now Madagascar it is also a new jewelery collection, presented at VicenzaOro September by Casato. It is inevitable that the exotic charm of the African country is interpreted through the color of stones such as blue topaz, amethyst and lemon quartz. They are jewels that give great visibility and the security of not going unnoticed. Like in the large necklace composed of topazes that cover all the shades from blue to total transparency. Or the bracelet where the colored stones are dotted with small diamonds.

Crivelli still aims at Like

///





New pieces are added to the Like collection by Crivelli, with or without pavé diamonds ♦

Jewelery is not everything. And, in any case, even the jewelers who create magnificent, unique, luxurious pieces to wear consider that activity to be a glittering showcase. Certainly, high jewelery also has a market, but a rarefied one. The business, in short, is in quality jewels, but of wider diffusion. That is why even Maison a Crivelli, a couple of years ago, added to its most extraordinary pieces a line of modern, design, simple jewels that can be worn at any time of the day, even in combination with a sport dress. The collection is called Like and alludes to the meaning of the word in English, but also to the world of social media.

At VicenzaOro September Crivelli presented new variants of the Like collection, in addition to those already seen in previous editions. Earrings and bracelets are combined with rings and an choker. Two versions are available, with pavé diamonds or without, and two sizes: regular and slim. The shape is always that of an oval of variable thickness that alludes to the letter C of Crivelli. A detail that not everyone notices.

Still rock with Roberto Coin

The new pieces from Roberto Coin’s Rock & Diamonds collection ♦

Transgressive, but elegant. Unconventional, but without forgetting luxury. Alternatives, but without losing touch with reality. The Rock & Diamonds collection by Roberto Coin is aimed at this kind of women. Launched a few years ago, like all the collections of the brand born in Vicenza and a citizen of the world, even Rock & Diamond widens its repertoire with new pieces from year to year. Always respecting the original style.

White, yellow and rose gold rings with white diamonds
White, yellow and rose gold rings with white diamonds

The collection for the first time combined diamonds with studs, typical of the seventies rock style. But without forgetting elegance: diamonds soften and warm every jewel, even the most aggressive bracelets. You don’t need to be a fan of the heavy metal genre to wear these jewels that are made in gold in three traditional colors (white, yellow and pink). In 2019 new rings were added to the collection and a powerful bracelet with ample use of brilliant cut diamonds. Perfect not just for being on a stage. Alessia Mongrando

A shake with Magnitude by Cartier





Striking combinations, gems and abstract compositions: this is Magnitude collection by Cartier of high jewelry ♦ ︎

The abstract forms of the stones seen closely seem works of painters struggling with the mystery of color and its possible combinations. On this ambiguity, Cartier’s Magnitude fine jewelry collection plays. The result is surprising. It is not the classic high jewelry where a princely stone is surrounded by other gems in a geometric composition, more or less innovative. Magnitude, instead, plays with the material itself, with the composition of colors, but also with the natural imperfection of the stones, almost like a gemmology lesson.

Precious stones and ornamental hard stones are integrated into jewels that look like sculptures to be exhibited at the Venice Art Biennale or Basel / Miami, you do. It is, of course, a collection far removed from the classic Cartier tradition, but no less interesting. Diamonds together with rutilated quartz, sapphires next to the opal, emeralds near rock crystal, pink diamonds with morganite and coral: this type of mixed marriage would have caused scandal only a few years ago. Now, instead, times have changed, along with people’s tastes and, of course, those of Cartier designers. The new era is characterized by fluidity, even for gems. Federico Graglia

Allegra Moi & Toi from de Grisogono

The Allegra collection by de Grisogono expands with the addition of Moi & Toi motifs ♦

You are more cheerful when you are with someone. Who knows if it is for this reason that the Allegra collection by de Grisogono, one of the most successful, is now back with a new transformation, which also alludes to the couple’s relationship. The novelty of the Allegra collection is called Moi et Toi, a definition that alludes to jewelry with two poles in which there can be diamonds, stones or simply a symbol. Me and you, exactly. The Moi & Toi style, on the other hand, has already been used by de Grisogono.

Find here the other Moi & Toi collection by de Grisogono.

Now the same principle, and the same style, is applied by de Grisogono for the Allegra collection, where the consolidated way of the white or pink gold jewelry line is reproduced with hard stone cabochons, next to small pavé diamonds. The collection includes hoop earrings that thanks to a gold ring can be hooked to the stud, rigid bracelets that open, a sautoir necklace dotted with stones like carnelian, onyx or turquoise, cacholong, with one of the ends that can be joined to the chain in different combinations: for a scarf, tie or necklace effect.

Tirisi, bracelet for watch

/




A bracelet designed specifically to be matched with a watch: from this idea was born Wangle from Tirisi ♦ ︎

Bracelet and watch on the same wrist. The combination does not always work. This is why the Dutch brand Tirisi Jewelry has designed an ad hoc wedding between watch and bracelet. It’s called The Wangle, a synthesis between the words Watch and Bangle. The idea comes from the thoughts of the Tirisi design director, Natascha Rotstein-Zuchouwski, looking for the right bracelet to wear next to the watch. From this need was born Wangle, which can be worn as a single bracelet or stacked together with other bracelets.

Bracciali Wangle

The bracelet which is friend of watch is made of 18 carat yellow, white and pink gold tubogas.

Three different versions are available, all set with diamonds. All Wangles are priced at 1,695 euros and can be completed with rings and necklaces, also available in yellow, white and pink gold. Launched in 2010, Tirisi seeks to overcome the conventional ideas prevalent in the jewelery sector. Instead of presenting a new collection once a year, Tirisi launches new products at least three times a year. And Wangles is one of these innovations. Giulia Netrese

Nanis returns to Ipanema

The New Ipanema collection by Nanis: rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets in gold with colored stones ♦

In addition to being the most famous beach in Brazil and one of the most famous in the world, Ipanema is also the name of a collection of the Venetian Maison Nanis created by the founder Laura Bicego. And at Baselworld the jewelery brand presented a reinterpretation of the Ipanema collection. The new line is called New Ipanema. A name that matches the exotic seaside resort, but also recalls the colors of Bon Bon, candies. In fact, it is exactly like this: next to the gold surfaces, scratched by hand as always, the jewels are colored with sapphires, rhodolites, blue topaz, amethyst and rose quartz.

In some cases, the jewels adopt stones of the same color, but with different shades: the result is a pleasant puzzle of shades of blue or purple. In other cases, even small diamonds are added to the gold surface, which add brightness. The collection includes rings, bracelets, necklace and earrings. With two variants: jewels can be made with a single stone or in a multigemma version. Lavinia Andorno

The music of Cartier Clash

//




The Clash collection by Cartier, the new rings, bracelet, necklace and earrings of the Maison. Images and prices of ring, bracelet, earrings by Cartier ♦ ︎

The Clash were an English punk rock band active from 1976 to 1986. But the word clash in the English language is also synonymous with combat. In short, the word evokes a rough, angular, and not very accommodating concept. Translated into the world of jewelry, Clash now identifies with the new Cartier collection. Which, to be precise, is a bit sharp and is reminiscent in style of bracelets and ornaments used by heavy metal and punk fans.
But the collection, presented with great pomp in Paris, and without The Clash music, does not aim to cover the centimeters of skin of rock music fans. On the contrary, with a soundtrack that includes Brian Eno, Ryuchi Sakamoto or Earthater, he wants to be destined for a refined woman.

The collection includes 14 pieces, all in rose gold, some with small diamonds set, and three with the addition of coral. The prices are those of Cartier’s fine jewelry: it starts from about 2000 euros for the smallest ring in only rose gold, to 7300 euros for a pair of hoop earrings, up to 51,000 euros for the large bracelet with pearls of red coral.

Swarovski bijoux for Mother’s Day (and not only) of the Originally collection: earrings, bracelet, necklace, ring ♦ ︎

It’s called Mother’s Day but, perhaps, it’s also the feast of the jewel, be it a ring, a bracelet, a pair of earrings, a necklace. The day, in fact, is one of the occasions when the gift of a jewel, it is not necessary that it is something exceptional, it is very appreciated by women. On the other hand, Mother’s Day is widespread in many countries around the world.

There is not a single day of the year common to all states, but in almost two thirds of the countries of the world the festival is celebrated in May, while the remaining fourth celebrates the mother in March. In Europe, the United States, Japan, Australia and many other countries, the feast falls on the second Sunday of May, the 12th for 2019. But in the Balkan countries, Mother’s Day coincides with the day dedicated to women, on the 8th March. And in many Arab countries the party falls instead on the day of the spring equinox.

In addition to the Sunshine collection, which we have already described here, the Austrian Maison recommends the Originally collection, in rhodium-plated metal, crystals and Swarovski Crystal Pearl , perhaps made of resin (not specified). Prices: from 89 to 99 euros on average. Giulia Netrese

The connections of Boucheron

//





The Jack collection by Boucheron: it’s inspired by the connectors used by the headphones to listen to music ♦ ︎

Anyone who has used audio headphones knows them well: the jack connectors are those used, in general, to connect devices to each other. They are also one of the most enduring technologies: the jack connector was invented around 1878 for telephone exchanges. By the way: the name jack comes from the fact that the patent was registered as a “connector jackknife”, that is with the size for a pocket.

The Parisian Maison Boucheron was inspired by this jack for its new Jack collection.

Bracciale o collana in oro rosa a sei fili con diamanti
Bracciale o collana in oro rosa a sei fili con diamanti

After having inaugurated the renovation of the headquarters on Place Vendôme, Boucheron has thought of this collection as a very little traditional jewel. It is, in fact, a flexible gold wire that can be rotated around the wrist to become a bracelet, or worn around the neck like a necklace. Closing the ends is simple: it hides two magnets. The length also changes: it starts from a circumference that is only sufficient for a wrist and extends to a six-wire version. The jewels can be in simple gold, or with small diamonds: the six-wire version uses 90, for a total of about 1 carat. But don’t try to use them to connect your headphones … Giulia Netrese

The Pura Oro collection by Roberto Demeglio: bracelets and rings with an elastic mechanism that makes them flexible ♦ ︎

Pure as water, pure as youth, pure (above all) like gold. It’s named Pura Oro the Roberto Demeglio collection that introduces in its catalog the most classic metal of jewelery. Yes, because the specialty of the Turin Maison is ceramics, used together with precious stones and worked ad hoc for jewelry.

The Pura Oro collection is instead made of gold and diamonds: it is added to the previous line called simply Pura and is made of ceramic.

The design of the jewelry recalls that of the other Roberto Demeglio collections, but this time in gold, in the three classic colors yellow, pink or white. In addition to the metal, white and brown diamonds are added. Like the other Roberto Demeglio collections, the Pura collection consists of elements mounted on springs in stainless steel with a patented anti-breaking mechanism, which guarantees comfort for the wearer. The Pura Oro collection is available in two sizes and includes bracelets and elastic rings. Alessia Mongrando

Spring with petals for Marco Bicego

//





The Lunaria Petali collection by Marco Bicego, flowers and diamonds with a delicate gold processing ♦ ︎

Marco Bicego stays on Lunaria, but the spring air makes a flower bloom. Or, better, many flowers, golden and soft. It is called Lunaria Petali the collection which is an extension of the already well-known Lunaria collection and which re-proposes the way of interpreting the jewel, in the tradition of the Maison.

In this case the petals, obtained from thin yellow gold leaves hand-engraved with the characteristic technique of the burin and enclosed by a shiny gold contrasting wire, create corollas that open up to reveal a pistil in gold or diamond.

Marco Bicego, collezione Lunaria Petali, collana
Marco Bicego, collezione Lunaria Petali, collana

The flowers are used to form bracelets and necklaces, rings and earrings of different types with small bouquets. They are jewels that give the impression of lightness, with a spring flavor. The rings, for example, can have eight or 16 petals, while the necklace alternates flowers with simple leaves, also in gold worked with a burin. But the piece of greatest impact is a necklace composed of 11 flowers and related diamonds alternating with gold leaves. Margherita Donato

The single-use jewelry by Francesca Amfitheatrof

//





The first collection of the Francesca Amfitheatrof brand is called Tag, with jewels that can no longer be removed ♦ ︎

The news has shaken the world of jewelry and, to tell the truth, has left more than one expert perplexed. Francesca Amfitheatrof, who has been a jewelry designer for Louis Vuitton for about a year, starts with her own jewelery brand. In short, his role in the French group did not last long. As far as we know, the brand will have an unusual name: Thief and Heist (but in jargon it can mean also charging someone on his shoulders), with commercial activity starting from March 2019.

Francesca Amfitheatrof’s jewels will be directed to a vast audience. In short, no high jewelry.

Francesca Amfitheatrof
Francesca Amfitheatrof

The designer’s first collection will be sold online on Thiefandheist.co. The name of the line is Tag. The jewelry is now only visible on Instagram and are very minimal: a nylon strap with a silver clasp, an object similar to those bands that are used by electricians to gather the cables. The band will be available in white or black, but the most strange aspect is that, just like the industrial bands, to remove the jewel you need to cut the band. The designer defines this aspect as “fun”. But, in short, at least pay attention not to tighten it too much. This disposable cuff should cost around $ 125. “I really wanted to create something that no one has ever seen before. The industry could use a little shaking up “, commented Francesca Amfitheatrof.

The designer before the hit-and-run by Louis Vuitton was the design director of Tiffany & Co from 2013 to 2017. Francesca Amfitheatrof has however started as a designer of jewelry and silverware. His projects have been sold internationally and also exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Colette in Paris. The designer has also developed jewelery for brands such as Chanel, Fendi and Marni. In addition, she has been an art consultant, curator and consultant for important collections and individuals. She graduated from the Royal College of Art, Central Saint Martins and Chelsea Art School. Now a new life begins. Giulia Netrese

The Cartier galaxies

The Les Galaxies de Cartier collection, a space travel through the jewels of the Parisian Maison ♦ ︎

Prepare yourself for a journey through the Milky Way. But also towards Andromeda and the many other galaxies that make up the universe. But you do not have to take part in a new Star Trek movie and you do not even need to get on the Enterprise, the Han Solo’s spaceship. It’s Cartier which brings you to space with a new jewelry collection, presented in Paris in the rooms of the Mineral Gallery, at the Jardin des Plantes.

The crystals, in fact, evoke spatial atmospheres like those evoked by the Les Galaxies de Cartier collection.

Through the explanations on the movement of stars and planets, comets and satellites, between black holes and supernovae, the Parisian Maison’s jewels have shone like the stars of the night sky. But if the space is also dotted with arid protagonists like the Moon or Neptune, evoked by the black pearls of Tahiti, there is also room for the most colorful and sparkling stars, with frames in yellow or pink gold, sapphires, rare quartzes, stone moon. The compositions of the jewels follow in some cases also a certain irregularity, which is precisely the one that reserves nature in its inscrutable cosmic combinations. All that remains is to prepare to leave. Lavinia Andorno

The idea is to celebrate with a jewel, of course, but without the air of excessive officiality that can transform love into plaster. In short, following the philosophy of the Maison, which combines luxury with jeans.

The suggestion for Valentine’s Day, therefore, concerns the Talisman collection.

As the name of the collection indicates, the jewel in this case is seen as an amulet, which is transformed into the drop, the characteristic icon of the brand, as well as the minimum part of water, an element that is dear to the founder and designer, Tamara Comolli.
The Talisman collection consists of heart-shaped pendants, which takes the form of two intertwined drops. A symbology suitable for the celebration of love.
The heart is used for bracelets made of gold in its three colors, white, yellow and pink. The charm is added to a mesh chain in the case of the bracelet, adjustable in length. The pendant can also be worn around the neck with a gold chain or a leather cord. Giulia Netrese

Tribal dance for Vendorafa

The Tribal collection by Vendorafa: hammered gold together with precious wood elements ♦ ︎

Just a century ago, Picasso, Braque and a large group of artists working in Paris, were fascinated by the art of primitive populations. The wooden sculptures with simple and strong features turned into cubist canvases. A century later the tribal art continues to fascinate the West and sometimes inspires the most disparate objects. For example, jewels.

Primitive art is the idea that gave life to the Tribal collection by Vendorafa.

The company of Valenza led by Augusto Ungarelli offers jewelry with the classic craftsmanship of gold that characterizes Vendorafa, but with the addition of elements in precious wood. It is, to be precise, a very resistant wood that is commonly called Bloodwood, a variety of eucalyptus found in Central America. The hammered gold contrasts with the dark satin wood rings. The shape of the jewels, moreover, is played on the classic geometric shape of the circle, a recurrent element not only in primitive sculptures, but also in tribal tattoos. Lavinia Andorno

The alternative jewels of Meghan Markle

//





The jewelry worn by Meghan Markle is from the “alternative” designer Pippa Small ♦ ︎

Meghan Markle is pregnant and it’s the news that has thrilled all the fans of events of the British royal family. But those who follow the Buckingham Palace and its news with assiduousness also monitor the clothes and jewels worn by the protagonists of the royal house. In addition to the diadem of Princess Eugenie, of which we have spoken, the profusion of rings, bracelet and earrings, all in yellow gold (her favorite metal), worn by Meghan Markle on the occasion of the wedding ceremony, has aroused curiosity.

We can unveil the origin of the Sussex Duchess’s jewelry: they are from Pippa Small.

It was probably not a casual choice: Pippa Small, in fact, is not an elite jewelry brand. Indeed, it is just the opposite: it is a brand that brings with it words like sustainability, fairness, respect for minorities. And with this choice, Meghan reiterates her role as a nonconformist woman in the royal family.
Pippa Small, in fact, is a London designer who loves to travel and “was inspired by the many fascinating cultures she met”. He completed a master’s degree in medical anthropology and has since focused his interests on human rights among minorities, indigenous groups. It is not by chance that she was appointed ambassador of the human rights organization Survival International in 2008 and in 2013 she won an Mbe by the Queen for ethical jewels and charity works. He worked with the first fair trade gold mine registered in the world in Bolivia and with the esteemed Fair Trade Fair company based in Kibera, a shantytown in Nairobi. When he started his second life as a designer, he also collaborated with famous brands such as Gucci in Tom Ford, Chloe, Bamford. In 2016 he also won the Ethical Jeweler of the Year award and the prestigious Walpole Corporate Social Responsibility award.

Garrard still flies with Wings

//





The old English Maison Garrard launches the Wings Embrace collection ♦ ︎

Presentation: George Wickes founded the Garrard jewelry store in London in 1735. This is why the brand claims to be the oldest jeweler in the world. Garrard, moreover, was been the first Crown Jewelery of the United Kingdom. In fact, from 1843 to 2007 he was in charge of the maintenance of the jewels of the British crown as well as creator of many tiaras and jewels still worn by the royal family.
All this to say that when Garrard does something new, it’s intersting. In particular, the London Maison celebrates 15 years since the launch of the Wings collection, which has seen fit to update with Wings Embrace.

Wings are always the dominant motif of the collection, obviously.

They are angelic wings rather than by birds. The Wings Embrace feathers are made with white round diamonds on white gold, but there are also colored stones in the collection, and they can be enveloping when they are closed. For example, in the ring that certainly can not pass unnoticed.
After the Classic, Lace and Reflection lines, in short, here is Wings Embrace. Note that the wings also like His Majesty: in the private collection of the queen there is a brooch with angel wings set in diamonds, rubies and emeralds. The collection also includes a pendant with double feather, earrings and necklace with tassels. Giulia Netrese
