Meini Gioielli, the Florentine goldsmith’s tradition always has its charm ♦ ︎

The story is that of many other artisan realities of jewelery: the young apprentice who learns the secrets of craftsmanship, get to own business, opens his shop and also finds his stylistic way. So is born Meini Gioielli, a Florentine artisan shop. The story begins in 1963, when at the age of 14, Cesare Meini “entered as an apprentice in the artisan workshop Ricci, one of the most famous masters in Florence in the 1960s.”

The shop is located right in the heart of Florence, near the Ponte Vecchio. Here, Cesare Meini learns the ornamental design, shaping, the art of the drilling and, above all, the engraving. In the sign of the Florentine goldsmith tradition, it accumulates experience until 1971, when he get to be on ufficial register of craftsman and opens a goldsmith workshop in the historic center of Florence. In 1977 the activity was transferred to Rignano sull’Arno, a village near Florence, where the Tuscan goldsmith he still realize their creations, together with their children Leonardo and Lorenzo.

On the occasion of Haute Jewels Geneva, an event that brought together 18 brands at the Fairmont Hotel in the Swiss city in April, Marco Bicego presented an upgrade of his collections, with the Maison’s entry into the world of high jewelery. The novelties also included a taste of the Lunaria Alta collection, which is now completed in a line of organic high jewelery. The collection is the first-degree daughter of Lunaria, one of the brand’s best-known collections, presented in 2014 by Marco Bicego. Lunaria does not refer to the satellite of the Earth, but to a plant classified in the Cruciferous family – Brassicaceae. Although related to cabbage and broccoli, lunaria is an ornamental plant.

For us, High Jewelery is the art of enhancing the character, elegance and uniqueness of each single gem. Nature with its organic forms and colored gems have always been a great source of inspiration for me and we remain very faithful to these themes, as they offer us the opportunity to highlight the extraordinary craftsmanship we use.
Marco Bicego

Now the shape of the leaves of the plant is translated by Marco Bicego into jewels with surfaces of hand-engraved 18-karat yellow gold, with a thin gold thread with a contrasting shiny outline. The millerighe technique is also combined with a pavé of sapphires or brilliant-cut diamonds on yellow gold.

The chain becomes Libera with Nanis

Published on April 16, 2021

COLLANE/Showroom/Rings

It is a historical moment in which, finally, the woman conquers more spaces, she feels freer. There is still a long way to go, we agree, but the desire for freedom of the female gender is much more widespread and taken into consideration. Even from jewellers. For this Laura Bicego, creative mind of Nanis, launches the Libera (a free woman) collection. As if to symbolize desire, but also the need to break obsolete patterns, prejudices, discrimination, the collection is based on the concept of chain. But on the contrary.

When you think of the chain, you always think of something rigid, which limits you.
Laura Bicego

For this reason, Nanis uses the chain, symbolically, to transform an object of constraint into an ornament that uses the style of the Maison. The 18-karat gold elements of the chain are engraved by hand, with subtle burin scratches: the typical Nanis process, to which lines of small diamonds are added. This way the metal has a soft appearance and softly reflects the light.

thanks to the design also the closure of the necklaces that becomes almost invisible, perfectly harmonized with the design of the jewels. Invisible, but fundamental because it opens to countless possibilities of interpretation. The necklaces, in fact, can be combined with bracelets, which are also available in models with a more classic or more irregular mesh, completely transforming the jewels. The same goes for the pendants, which offer different combinations.

The innovative design also involves the rings that move between the fingers, with harmonious curves, or with a rock touch, as in the case of the ring to be worn on the middle and ring fingers together. The collection also includes earrings in three sizes: small, medium and large, designed to be worn alone or together. Because, of course, the interpretation of this line of jewelry is absolutely free.

To the designer is the totality of life within the drop and represent a symbol of fertility and abundance; something real but expressed in a light and delicate shape in the gold hand-engraved workmanship with burin. Made even more precious by a paved diamonds, always a drop. Lavinia Andorno
