In Cannes a Jewelery Festival

Festival of Cinema or Jewelery Festival? In Cannes, infinity catwalk with dream jewels ♦
New list of images from Cannes. Gold, precious stones and, of course, movie stars who braved the heavy burden of wearing dream jewelry (we’re joking). The lion’s part is made by Italian and French jewelers. Among the first, for example, there is Damiani, Maison that it was chosen by Eva Longoria. The actress wore the earrings and the masterpiece bracelet of the Notte di San Lorenzo collection in white gold and diamonds on two occasions: Philipp Plein’s party and L’Oreal event.

But among the Italian brands also there were Bulgari, with jewels worn by Emily Ratajwkowski, Emly Blunt and Naomi Watts, Buccellati with Amanda Steele, or Repossi, with a necklace worn by Emma Stone.
Among French jewellers, it was obviously Chopard (it is Swiss, but also French speaking), a long time partner of the Festival, to dominate the scene. Among Chopard’s many stars, for example, there were Charlize Theron, Poppy Delevigne, Araya Hargate or Juienne Moore can be mentioned, as well as Rihanna, who presented her collection in conjunction with the Maison directed by Caroline Scheufele. But they did not miss the Boucheron (Letitia Casta) or Messika (Sara Sampaio) jewels.

Liz Taylor’s jewels come back at Christie’s auction

Christie’s unveils new exceptional jewelry in the auction catalog of 17 May in Geneva 
In Geneva, on 17 May, Christie’s will auction a 92 carat exceptional diamond-shaped heart, perfect. We’ve talked about here.
But that day will be for sale also many other interesting jewelry. In addition to those already anticipated in this article, there are others that the auction house has anticipated. Among them, there are some that belonged to Liz Taylor. In December 2011, Christie’s has already put on sale the collection of Elizabeth Taylor with these earrings and bracelet burmese rubies and diamonds signed Cartier. The jewels were part of the parure of jewels given to Elizabeth Taylor in August 1957 by her then husband, Mike Todd. Now are back on sale. The actress was famous for his passion for jewelry. But he was not the only woman with this enjoyable hobby. At the auction in Geneva, for example, you are selling the collection of an anonymous “elegant lady”, who apparently does not like the fame. The collection, however, is really top level. It includes a diamond necklace by Chopard, with a shaped D color diamond weight of approximately 56.03 carats pear (has a rating of up to US $ 7 million), in addition to exceptional jewelry created by Graff, De Grisogono and David Morris.
The space of the virtuous
For those who love the high jewelry, high design, there is a piece signed Jar (Joel Arthur Rosenthal) mysterious as creative maestro of jewelry. American by birth, Parisian by adoption, is considered a creative worship. Her earrings with diamonds are a delicious candy for collectors. An other talented designers is the Indian Viren Bhagat, who from Mumbai produces no more than 60 pieces a year. In the auction there will be a pair of her earrings with diamonds and rubies.
Cartier view from Éric Nussbaum
It has been recognized as one of the most eminent experts of Cartier and was hailed by his peers as “Eye”, an homage to the virtuoso level of its taste and refinement. And now the pieces of the vast collection owned by the expert, who died in 2003, are to be auctioned. It’s an interesting occasion: suffice it to say that the Nussbaum collection consists of over 1,600 jewelry and objects.
The charm of the sixties
The jewelry in Italy has experienced a moment of glory in the sixties. At the «dolce vita» of the jewel it is dedicated to a Christie’s auction section. From Buccellati to Villa or Bulgari, will be offered 40 jewels of that magical time. Federico Graglia

Chinese Christmas for Buccellati

Buccellati was sold to the Chinese group Gansu Gangtai by Clessidra, fund owned by Pesenti family.
Founded in 1919 in Milan by Mario Buccellati, one of the biggest brands of Italian jewelry is heading towards Shanghai. Buccellati become chinese: on the eve of Christmas 2016 came news that the jewelry will be bought by Maison Gansu Gangtai, group specializing in retail jewelry, also online, and which owns a mining company. But you do not think it’s a very rich giant: in the last quarter announced 377 million turnover, with just 5.9 million profit. In short, great, yes, but not seems very powerfull.
To sell to the Chinese is the private equity fund Clessidra, founded by former managers Fininvest Claudio Sposito, who died in January. The fund controls 67% of Buccellati, while the rest is in the hands of the founder’s family. Clessidra was acquired in the meantime by the Pesenti group, which in turn sold Italcementi to the Heidelberg Group Germans. And Carlo Pesenti is not interested in the world of luxury. First he tried to sell Buccellati in Switzerland, the Richemont group. Then, when the signing of the sale is gone, he has now found the Chinese Gansu Gangtai Holdings. In a nutshell, it seems that Italians do not know how to build a team with so many luxury brands, as he had tried to do the former Bulgari Ceo (brand which now is owned by French LVMH), Francesco Trapani, who had entered Clessidra with this goal. Besides Bulgari have become French Pomellato and Stroili, just to stay in the jewelry world. And now also Buccellati goes away.

Buccellati in Color

Opera Color: you add new pieces from the Renaissance style to collection by Buccellati.
Despite changes in ownership (now the company is part of the Swiss Richemont Group) Buccellati continues on his way. The new features include the Opera collection, launched in 2015 and now extended with new pieces and a line: Opera Color. The starting point is a kind of return to the roots, because Buccellati originated in Florence. Opera is, in fact, inspired by a style, but it would be better to say the culture of the Renaissance. The shape of the elements that make up the series of jewels are in fact those, reworked, which are found in architectural decoration, in the frames, in the paintings of the time and that are part of the company logo. Symmetry, gold, embroidery, light weight, but also wealth: History of art and jewelery are summed up immersed in the style that distinguishes the Maison. Opera Color introduces in the elements of the logo new precious shades thanks to the use of colored stones: lapis lazuli, mother of pearl, onyx, pink opal and Jasper, a variety of quartz.

Buccellati on the catwalk with Valli

Buccellati, passed by a few days under the banner of the Swiss group Richemont, during Fashion Week in Paris has chosen the parade of Giambattista Valli to show some of his unique pieces of fine jewelry. La Maison from Milan is famous for its ability to create special jewelery, with a skillful and meticulous processing metal: gold embroidery and engravings in which grafted precious stones.

Jewels with yellow and white gold, pendants with peridot and diamonds, big earrings, diamond honeycomb and emeralds were accompanied with lace and fabrics. In particular, the emphasis of jeweler was on earrings and large pendants with emeralds or Kunzite, framed by diamonds. Lavinia Andorno

Buccellati goes to Switzerland

Buccellati bye-bye: it is wrote by the newspaper Sole24Ore and nobody has denied it. An article by Carlo Festa, draws a farewell from the Italian fund of private equity Clessidra. Buccellati will end up on Swiss bank of Lake Geneva, in the big house of the Richemont group. After the disappearance, in January, of the founder of Hourglass, Claudio Sposito, seems to go down the idea of ​​a center of Italian luxury, which had been toyed with the entry into private equity fund of Francesco Trapani. Who is a former number one of Bulgari, sold five years ago to the French LVMH group. Trapani became vice president of Clessidra with the idea of ​​bringing together under one hat other luxury brands, a bit ‘as the French group Bernard Arnault or François Pinault’s Kering , which controls inter alia, the Italian brand Pomellato. Or also the Swiss Richemont group, which already owns brands such as Cartier, Piaget and Van Cleef & Arpels. The argument between the wife of Sposito, Manuela Del Castillo and Trapani, which is going from Clessidra, instead has revolutionized the strategy. And will be no a big group of Italian jewelry: Buccellati will end in the land of William Tell. Whether he wants it or not Andrea Buccellati, president and representative of the family founder, who maintains a minority stake in the company. Federico Graglia

Hawaii in three colors for Buccellati

It’s difficult to say if in Hawaii the people wears earrings with complicated combinations of circles. Buccellati, in any case, since the Thirties proposes a collection that is based precisely on round twisted gold. The collection Hawaii, to which was added Honolulu, has become a classic of the Italian brand, but now has been repeated with variations in white and pink gold. Each piece, in short, can be selected in one of three shades. The circles are made with gold twined wire. This process has two effects: gives light reflections and a pleasant ringing sound when the jewelry is on the move. In the case of the necklace, for example, the bead cores are 0.6 mm thick and welded one by one by hand.

Buccellati in Venaria

At Venaria Palace, near Turin, comes the great exhibition dedicated to Gianmaria Buccellati. The exhibition follows that of Florence (https://gioiellis.com/buccellati-100-anni-di-gioielli) and is a tribute to the art of the jeweler Florentine goldsmith. The exhibition (“The art of beauty. The jewels of Gianmaria Buccellati,” March 21 to August 30), organized by Gianmaria Buccellati Foundation and the Foundation for the Study of Art Goldsmith, with the coordination of the Swiss Luxury Culture Management, offers a selection of the works of jewelry. Gianmaria Buccellati, born in 1924, continued the experience of the father Mario, who in 1919 opened his first boutique of fine jewelry in Milan, where he met Gabriele d’Annunzio, who described him as the “prince of the goldsmiths”. The exhibition is organized into three sections. According Chiara Tinonin, curator of the exhibition, “The jewelry, the jewelry creations and silver that Gianmaria Buccellati started drawing very young and has produced throughout life are represented in the exhibition by 108 valuable pieces, each one unique, and willing in a chronological journey that explores the origin creative drawing his autobiographical stories. But there are not just objects. The attention to the cultural and artistic expressions of the past, the deep knowledge of the goldsmith and its secrets, and his aesthetic sense, enhanced by the shots of the photographer Giò Martorana. ” For the curator, to Buccellati is a tradition that follows the great schools of the Renaissance, classical and eighteenth centuries. But now, with a jewelry that often follows the trend of the moment and the rhythms of industrial production, is also a cultural heritage that is likely to get lost.

Buccellati, 100 anni di gioielli

[wzslider]«I tesori della Fondazione Buccellati. Da Mario a Gianmaria: 100 anni di storia dell’arte dei gioielli». Chi passa per Firenze, dal 2 dicembre al 22 febbraio può visitare una mostra dedicata alla grande maison dell’oreficeria. L’esposizione è a Palazzo Pitti. Sono un centinaio le opere selezionate, di cui una parte è destinata a diventare un’esposizione permanente in una sala del Museo degli Argenti di Palazzo Pitti. La scelta del luogo non poteva essere più appropriata: si tratta di oreficeria e argenteria dalla tecnica raffinata capace di competere con i pezzi medicei. Perché fu proprio Mario Buccellati a riprendere e valorizzare la tradizione orafa italiana, con una tecnica di traforo su fogli d’oro, come gli antichi romani, oppure il cesello rinascimentale di Benvenuto Cellini.

Una novità assoluta. Ma Buccellati è stato anche il primo a introdurre la tecnica di tessitura-incisione. Per esempio, gioielli con tante linee sottili e parallele che danno un effetto a specchio (rigato). Oppure incrociate, che imitano la superficie della tela di lino. O con texture «segrinata» con righe che vanno in tutte le direzioni possibili. Questa tecnica innovativa irrompe, agli inizi del Novcecento, in un mondo della gioielleria dominato dal gusto francese. Si contrappone un’estetica ispirata da capolavori come il bugnato di Palazzo Strozzi, il soffitto del palazzo Ducale di Mantova o il pizzo di Burano. Insomma, un made in Italy che dà a Buccellati un successo enorme, tanto da diventare l’orafo prediletto del poeta Gabriele D’Annunzio. E nella mostra infatti, non potevano mancare il bracciale in argento ritorto decorato con cinque lapislazzuli, contenuto in un astuccio firmato da d’Annunzio, una collana in oro giallo, decorata con un berillo e rubini, regalata a Eleonora Duse come gioiello «prezioso, ancorché bizzarro» o ancora, un portapillole con incisa una delle espressioni preferite del Vate: «Io ho quel che ho donato».

La dinastia. Dall’omaggio al capostipite dei Buccellati, nato ad Ancona nel 1891, ecco altri pezzi notevoli firmati dal figlio Gianmaria, il primo italiano, è bene ricordarlo, che è riuscito ad aprire un negozio in Place Vendôme, tempio parigino della gioielleria, quando di globalizzazione ancora non si parlava e nelle strade del lusso più famose del mondo trionfava l’orgoglio locale. Oggi Gianmaria, presidente onorario della Buccellati holding, ha voluto riunire in una fondazione pezzi unici, tra coppe, vasi e scatole appartenenti alla sua collezione personale, molti dei quali disegnati da lui. C’è lo Scrigno mediceo a forma decagonale realizzato nel 1970, che testimonia l’influenza della collezione del Museo degli Argenti sulla sua sensibilità artistica. E la spilla Gran Dama, quella a forma di Farfalla, la collana Pizzo Venezia. Tutti oggetti preziosi che, invece, testimoniano una produzione nel solco della tradizione paterna, ma dal gusto estroso, audace e personalissimo. Uguale in tutti questi anni è stato il perfezionismo: ogni oggetto era ed è curato nei minimi dettagli anche nel retro perché dalla perfezione di un’incassatura o di uno snodo, si riconosce la firma Buccellati.  Monica Battistoni
