Leda Madera, Giulia Tordini’s fashion brass

Published on April 5, 2023

Giulia Tordini, founder and creative director of the Milanese brand Leda Madera, launches a collection of gold-plated brass jewelry. They are jewels with a consistent volume, with soft lines, which can suggest a vaguely retro style. They are for sale on several online stores. Leda Madera is a Milanese brand that owes a lot to the fashion world, but focuses on the accessories side. In fact, she is part of a family specializing in the fashion sector: her father, Piero Tordini, designed shoes and now manages the Marcona 3 showroom in Milan. Her older sister, Giorgia, is co-founder of the cool-girl label The Attico. In short, it was almost inevitable that Giulia was also involved in fashion and accessories.

Originally from Marche, Milanese by adoption, Giulia Tordini attended the three-year course at the European Institute of Design. The collection includes updates to the first Realease 1 collection and the new Release 2 line. They seem to be inspired by the protagonists of the movie Thelma & Louise. But, to tell the truth, they seem more linked to the Art Deco style, which has a few decades more than the two cinematic daredevils. By the way, Leda Madera takes its name from her grandmother, to whom Giulia Tordini is very fond.

Stars and Stripes timetable with the new Essex line from Timex. The American watch brand that has managed to offer an interesting price-quality ratio, offers a series of four quartz watches, which summarize the brand’s qualities. It should be remembered, for those who don’t know it, the episode that took place during a live television broadcast in 1960, when a demolished Timex watch didn’t stop ticking. Not only that: the brand’s watches also traveled into space in 1966 and for this they obtained NASA certification. The new muscular Timex watches feature a low-lead brass case which, with an octagonal bezel and crown protector, mounts a stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp.

They are offered in the steel-colored version and blue dial with orange details (109 euros) or with a yellow gold-colored finish and black dial with white details (119 euros).

The line is completed by the model animated by a multifunction movement which is characterized by the 44 mm diameter steel-colored case like the bracelet and the blue dial (119 euros).

Yellow luxury for Michael Kors

Published on October 5, 2022

Get luxury without making your wallet angry. A dream, perhaps. But this is also what the so-called fashion jewelry proposes, that is, those bijoux signed by large fashion houses that do not want to compete with high jewelry but, rather, become a complement to their choices in terms of clothing. Michael Kors is one of these brands. The American brand has long chosen Fossil to create its accessible jewelry collections, that is not too expensive, which focuses more on the enhancement of the brand rather than on the materials with which rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings are made.

Also for the autumn of 2022 Michael Kors uses this formula: appearing is better than being. The proposed jewels are also this time characterized by the letters M and K, the initials of the designer’s name. The letters become, as it was for Louis Vuitton, themselves a recurring graphic motif, to become an element of the jewels, made of polished brass with the addition of white cubic zirconia.ttps://gioiellis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/anello-michael-kors.jpg”>

The Internet offers many possibilities: for example, to design and make jewelry in silver, gold, bronze or titanium in 3D ♦

If you have ever dreamed of creating a gold, silver or bronze ring, know that now it is possible, without leaving home. All you need is a computer and an internet connection. The idea comes from Jweel, a start-up that has launched its first website dedicated to the creation and printing of 3D jewelry. They are jewelry made of metal, not plastic. They can be gold, silver, brass, titanium or steel. You can create a ring with a design of your choice, even a fantasy one, with a personalization. Maybe linked to the date of a birthday, a name, an anniversary.

Or you can choose and modify one of the many models proposed (there are dozens). But you can also look at and choose the creations of other users of the site. With the web browser you can design the jewel in 3D in a very simple way. You choose the look and the material, then you order. Skimlab proposes the creation of jewels online and 3D printing through the Jweel website. Furthermore, Skimlab can directly print the steel jewels or prepare a mold for your trusted goldsmith’s shop. It really is that easy.

The jewels made with the brass (gold plated) of the bullets found in Cambodia: Cassandra Postema makes them with her Emi & Eve ♦

Cassandra Postema graduated in Fashion and Textile Design from Central St. Martin College in London, the starting point for a brilliant career in the world of design. But a trip to Cambodia changed her perspective. In fact, you have decided to combine design with social responsibility, helping the difficult life of the local population. Cassandra’s talent, therefore, has expressed itself in a truly different jewelry brand, with which she transforms bombs and bullets into earrings, bracelets, rings. Emi & Eve e jewels are made by Cambodian artisans, who use brass, a metal recovered by anti-mine technicians and fishermen. In this way Cassandra Postema supports the Cambodian community.

The jewels, which are sold online, are then gold plated and sometimes embellished with stones or cubic zirconia. Cassandra, in Greek mythology, was a priestess with the gift (or condemnation, according to the point of view) of foresight. She saw the future and announced misfortunes, unheard. Quite the opposite of Cassandra Postema, fortunately: she wants the future to be better.

Anello con diamanti sintetici e oro bianco 14 carati

The jewelry that reproduce the nerve tissue reconstructed through 3D printing and a complicated algorithm.
In the jewelery every so often overlook new ideas, both as regards the materials, which for the techniques adopted. Today we don’t produce more jewels as they did a century ago, and probably about in one hundred years’ time rings, bracelets and necklaces will be made with still different systems. So do not be surprised to experiments like that of Nervous System, a design studio based in Massachusetts, who has decided to use the new 3D printing technologies and laser cutting with biology. The result is Corollaria collection. It is a set of jewelry that is not noted for its precious workmanship, but because it provides an idea of what could be a part of the future jewelry.

Anello in oro bianco 14 carati e diamanti di laboratorio

The shape of these jewelry is inspired by the microscopic cellular structures, reconstructed through the use of a special algorithm. The materials used are brass and a special plastic. The jewelry then have a shape that resembles that of a lace, the cells that form in the human body and biological system. You unromantic? Maybe. But these jewels have an advantage in terms of who sells them: are printed to order, so there are not likely to remain in the drawer. And then, perhaps, they can are loved by Millenials.

Krimrose, Cristiana Cavalli’s jewels make their debut

The father is a famous fashion designer. The mother is restorer of works of art. The daughter? Lawyer. Until mid-2021, when she decided to get back into the game in the world of jewelry. Cristiana Cavalli, Roberto Cavalli’s eldest daughter, was for 15 years the legal manager of the brand founded by her father (she was the world president of all the group’s licenses). Now, however, she has decided to compete in jewelry design with her own brand, Krimrose. The collections are made of gold-plated brass (which she defines as democratic materials) with the partnership of Cora, a Vicenza-based company that boasts an expertise in the goldsmith sector for over 50 years.

The period in which the idea of debuting in the world of jewelry was born (in full pandemic) also explains the choice of the name: Krimrose is a variation of the name in English of a flower the primrose (primrose), but at the same time, it alludes also to the designer’s nickname (Kri, from Cristiana). The primrose is also the flower that marks the beginning of spring, that is, the rebirth after winter. And the names of her creations also derive from the world of nature: Leaf, Plume, Shell, Cascade, Drop.

The gears (and more) of V Design Lab, by the young Milanese designer Valeria Vigliani ♦

Sometimes the wheels turn the right way even in jewelry. Especially if the rotation of the gears takes on a meaning: that, for example, of the industriousness of a place. In the specific case, Milan, which is not only the Italian capital of fashion and design, but also of the economy. All this is the environmental background of V Design Lab Jewelery by Valeria Vigliani, fascinated not only by the creativity to be expressed with jewels, but also by the entrepreneurial spirit that reigns in the Lombard city, even though she now lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland. .

In fact, in her curriculum she specifies that she has worked in the marketing of large multinationals in Italy and abroad, and that she lived for three years in Melbourne, the Australian capital of fashion and jewelery. It was there that she began attending the first metalworking courses. Then, she specialized at the Ambrosiana Goldsmith School in Milan. And finally, with a Master in Jewelery Design at the Milan Polytechnic.

Orecchini Santiago in ottone placcato oro

Valeria she describes V Design Lab as a jewelry design laboratory that she loves to experiment with shapes, materials and textures to give life to ideas that spring from everyday life.

For this you use architecture, geometry or industrial elements, such as gears. The designs of the jewelry are first done by hand, with the aim of adding an extra pinch of personality to the wearer. After the gears, which “express the proverbial dynamism and industriousness of a city like Milan”, it was the turn of Pneus which this time is inspired by tires and seals. But, to tell the truth, there are also jewels from the Flower Power collection dedicated to the more usual theme of flowers or Santiago, in the shape of shells.

The jewels are made of brass, galvanized 18Kt yellow, pink, white, or satin gold. Some pieces are made with 3D printing or laser cutting, in other materials such as nylon.

Cassandra has therefore decided to create an opportunity through jewels made in Cambodia and inspired by nature and oriental philosophies. The artisans who work for Emi & Eve use the metal recovered by Cmac agents (Cambodia Mine Action Center) and by local fishermen.
The basic material used in all the collections is brass, derived from the recycling of war remnants extracted from Cambodian soil. The brass is then gold plated to keep the color unchanged over time, in some cases with the addition of natural and untreated stones.

Panache, the Korean design

Published on May 31, 2021

Rings/bracciale/Showroom/COLLANE

The dictionary offers two different definitions for the word panache: an ornamental tuft (for example, of feathers) that is mainly used on a helmet. Or: momentum, extravagance in style and action. Which of the two definitions can be applied to Panache, a brand founded by the Korean designer Cha Seon-young, born in 1982 in Seoul? Korean creativity is in vogue, as evidenced by the success of Asian cinema at the Oscars. And Panache is reported as an emerging designer. After studying at Seoul Arts High School and Ewha Womans University, Cha Seon-young began studying metal crafts at Central Saint Martins in London, England.

Her works that have won the British Art Medal Society competition, and have been hosted at the British Museum, as well as at the S / S London Fashion Week in 2007. With this background, Panache brings together the values of the West and the East. Her design is simple and complicated at the same time. These are simple gold-plated brass jewelry, but with a well-defined style. Her jewelry is now sold all over the world. By the way: the definition adopted by Cha Seon-young for Panache is: feathers on a helmet.

The Vivian interlace by Stroili

Published on April 9, 2021

A weave reminiscent of a quilted fabric, but light and airy: the Vivian collection by Stroili is made with a golden, pink or white rhodium-plated brass thread, with the addition of crystals. The threads have a convexity between one intersection and the other, with a rounded effect that gives volume to the bijoux. The spring line of the Italian brand includes rhomboid, circle, ball earrings, bracelets with different widths, chokers with pendant, band rings that cover the fingers.

The jewels of the Vivian collection by Stroili are on sale in the Stroili jewelers and on the website with a price starting from 29.90 euros. Additional curiosity: Vivian, together with the variants Vivien and Vivienne, derives from a Latin name used during the Roman Empire, with the masculine Vivianus and the feminine Viviana. It is a name that has remained current also because it was that of two paleochristian female martyrs, and of a saint, male and bishop.

Neapolitan, she lives and works in Milan (Italy): Bianca D ‘Aniello creates her bijoux, which she sells in the boutique in the Brera district, with ease. After 20 years she can be satisfied. She graduated in Literature with an artistic address, she opted to create jewelry in gold-plated brass, often satin and in a pastel color, where the design element is what matters most to her. They are bracelets, necklaces and earrings with a light-hearted, informal air, commonly referred to as gipsy.

Each piece is handmade in a few copies. Often the jewels are composed of many elements, such as links or chains, some cases finished with crystals or rhinestones. The inspiration for these textures comes from the beaches and the sunny climate of Southern Italy, but they are perfectly compatible with the colder environments of the North. The creative process is very personal: Bianca does not fold the materials to a design, but she proceeds in reverse: starting from the metal elements she proceeds to build her bijoux, then dipped in gold and finished.

Art Deco and modern design in Arte Facta bijoux

Published on January 5, 2020

/Rings/COLLANE

According to the dictionary, in the Italian language the word artifact refers to a work that derives from an intentional transformation process by man. A definition that is also perfect for jewelry. With this reasoning, in 2014 Ilaria Quotta founded the Arte Facta brand, which also offers accessories, such as bags. Jewelry and bags, however, have one thing in common: they focus entirely on design, in the sign of art deco. On the other hand, Arte Facta is based in Milan, which is the Italian capital of design.

Anello in ottone placcato oro 23 carati. Pietre piramidali di cristallo

In a way a little surprising, however, the designer landed in Milan about twenty years ago, after having followed her studies in Political Science at the La Sapienza University of Rome, to enroll in the Marangoni Institute for the Fashion Design course. After graduation, she worked as a designer and product manager in the clothing sector. Experiences that served to start one’s own business and, above all, an exclusive style. Modernist architecture, jazz, but also rock & roll are its inspiring muses. However, the designer also underlines a marked sensitivity to respect for the environment.

The jewels are made of brass, often gold-plated, and enriched with hard stones and crystals. The shapes are very modern, with some vintage effects. Prices do not exceed 350 euros.

The Corinto collection by Brosway: interweaving of light metal with white or colored zircons ♦ ︎

Corinth: a name that evokes History, Greece, maybe even the school memories. The city, in ancient Greece, was powerful of the Peloponnesian League but, in art, it is famous above all for having given its name to those capitals of particularly elaborate columns. In short, anyone has seen the capitals in Corinthian style and immediately thought of the art of ancient Ellade. With inspiration for the classical world, but with a totally modern style, Brosway decided to call Corinto one of its new collections.

The style of the Corinto collection is particularly elaborate, rich, flowery.

Medallions, bracelets and earrings are made with a weave of white or gold-colored metal, with embroideries that seem to recall those of ancient ceramics, classic decorations, and even gothic stained glass. The metal used is brass, which is rhodiumed to make it white, or treated with a galvanizing method for gilding. Cubic zirconia, white or colored, are set inside the jewels. Prices: from € 29 for the ring and € 59 for the white medallion at € 79 for earrings in galvanized brass and colored zircons. Alessia Mongrando
