Butani for princesses

Published on February 19, 2021

Mr. Papu Butani says he had a complicated start. He started from Mumbai in 1969, to get to Hong Kong. In the city where time ago waved the British flag he began a success story in the diamond trade. He faced difficult times, says. But, gradually, he expanded his business to jewelry making, who are now also realized thanks to the contribution of a team of italian designers (but not only): and so, the Earth is getting smaller. Today, Butani can be satisfied.

His jewels are made of the two sons, Mukesh and Manoj, who opened two boutiques in Macau and at the beginning of 2015, the third in the prestigious Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong. If you look to the jewels of this page you can see why the luxury of Butanes designer jewelry is so popular to the rich people: cascades of diamonds, rubies and other gems stones are united to compose fantastic necklaces worthy of a Saudi princess. They also claim to offer jewelry that can be worn during the day, whatever the occasion. Maybe. But with a body guard…

The jewelery and the brightest pieces by Butani, an Indian jeweler from Hong Kong ♦

Trunk Show in Doha for Butani, an Indian jeweler from Hong Kong. In Qatar, Butani presented the most recent and sparkling pieces of his catalog. The history of this Maison is different from the others. In 1969 Papu Butani left Mumbai to go in Hong Kong, with great difficulty. Despite everything, however, over the years he has managed to create a high jewelery brand, specializing in particular in diamond jewels. Thanks to the great eye, great flair and great entrepreneurial ability, Butani Jewelery has grown to employ over a hundred people. The founder is now joined by his two sons Manoj and Mukesh, but his trademark has not changed.

The style of his jewelry is ambivalent. On the one hand, he prefers jewels with an enormous use of precious, large and demanding stones. It is the kind of jewelry that is very popular in the East and brings with it the tradition of Indian style compositions. But at the same time, Butani also produces classic evening jewels, based on diamonds and precious stones, of international taste. As evidenced by the jewels brought to Doha. Lavinia Andorno

The new jewels by Butani, with many diamonds that also like to Meghan Markle and Ariana Grande ♦ ︎

Last winter the name of Butani has become famous also to women who do not have many opportunities to admire high jewelry pieces. A pair of Butani earrings, in fact, was worn by the Duchess of Sussex at the gala dinner organized by President Jioji Konrote in the Fiji Islands. To be precise, chandelier earrings with white and yellow diamonds, valued at $ 500,000. In fact, those earrings were also one of the many exception to the rules by Meghan Markle: the earrings, in fact, were borrowed from Meghan, just as the movie stars do on the red carpet. But according to the etiquette for the official events the British royals usually wear only family jewels. Problems, in any case, that do not seem so fundamental.

The fact remains that Prince Harry’s wife turned the spotlight on one of the most sparkling Maison of the East. Founded by the Indian family of Butani, the brand is based in Hong Kong. It’s focused on jewels of great value, rich in stones, especially diamonds. Like the necklace worn at the Grammy Awards 2019 by Ariana Grande: it was composed of over a thousand diamonds, for an estimated value of $ 380,000. Lavinia Andorno

Butani in the sky of jewelry with Empyrean, between diamonds and precious stones ♦ ︎
At Baselworld 2018 Butani presented the Empyrean high jewelery collection. This is a novelty compared to the tradition of the Hong Kong Maison. According to Butani, the collection is a shock to who the idea that high jewelry is to be worn ever in combinations. In short, Empyrean is aimed at a younger audience, or at least with a less traditional taste.
But this is certainly not unimaginative jewelry. On the contrary, it is a collection of great impact, which draws greater strength from the novelties presented by Butani: in addition to the usual round diamonds with brilliant cut, this time Butani chose to make necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings with diamonds in the shape of pear, fancy and precious stones, including ruby, emerald and sapphire. The result is a collection that has great visibility. Includes pendant earrings and earcuff, bracelets with diamonds designed to be individually or together, according to the needs, necklaces in the shape of thin diamond choker or with pendants of precious stones.

Baselworld: win or flop?

Baselworld 2018, number of visitors unchanged. Here’s who is happy and who is puzzled among jewelers ♦ ︎
It depends. The final judgment on Baselworld 2018 can be summarized as follows: it depends. Because the Basel Watch and Jewelery Fair (22-26 March 2018) had two faces. One is the one summarized by two numbers: 1300 and 650. The first is the number of exhibitors, already declining, in 2017 (there were 1500 in 2016). The second is the number of exhibitors in 2018, less than half. A massacre. «A selection», he prefers to call it the managing director of Mch, the company that organizes Baselworld. But, in fact, it depends on the points of view. Faced with such a drastic reduction could have been much worse. The final balance of Baselworld 2018, in the words of the organizers is, if not exciting, at least sufficient. The number of visitors, for example, “has remained stable”. Since the fair lasted two days less, this is considered a success. At the moment we do not know the number of buyers present. 4,400 journalists came to Baselworld, 15% less from Europe, but 5% more from Asia. And if many big brands, such as Festina or Dior, this year have defected the Basel fair, Breitling, Rolex, Patek Philippe, Swatch, Chanel and Gucci have already announced that they will also be present next year, from 21 to 26 March 2019 .
And exhibitors? The opinions are different. Again, it depends. Among the opinions collected by gioiellis.com among jewelers, prevails a lack of enthusiasm for the new formula “concentrated”, which for some is “sad” when compared to the atmosphere that was breathed until a couple of years ago. But at the same time, many have confirmed that commercial activity has not been lacking and, therefore, the presence in Basel still has a reason for being. From the comments collected during the fair, we can summarize the mood:
We are equally satisfied: Fope, Pasquale Bruni, Nanis, Alessio Boschi, Tamara Comolli, Picchiotti, Messika, Mattioli, Rivière
Everything is OK, but some perplexities: Casato, Annamaria Cammilli, Leo Pizzo, Yoko London, Giovanni Ferraris, Djoula, Facet, Crivelli
No comment: Coronet, Sutra, Butani

The new jewelry by Butani to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Maison ♦
Mr. Papu Butani celebrates its first 40 years. La Maison bearing the name of the founder, was born in Mumbai (India) and transmigrated in Hong Kong. It has decided to celebrate the anniversary with a new collection of fine jewelry. It’s his specialty. Mister Butani chose to turn to top clients, possibly with blue blood and so, therefore, proposes jewels consistent with this category of buyers.
The new collection, presented at Baselworld 2017, comes with nine pieces made from diamonds, white and yellow, in elaborate puzzle that make up geometric shapes. The new collection also serves as an attraction for the new boutique that Butani opened at the iconic Grand Lisboa Hotel Macau, store below those in the Venetian Macao Resort opened in 2007, one at Cotai Central Sheraton Hotel and the flagship store in Peninsula Hong Kong. In short, the choice of twin sons Papu Butani, Mukesh and Manoj, who since 1999 alongside his father in the management of the company is to stay very close to the category that these jewels can buy them. You can not blame them. Giulia Netrese
