Gold and beads for Carolina Bucci




You can safely tell Carolina Bucci that she behaves like a child. She won’t be offended. Indeed, she will consider it a compliment. Just look at the jewels that he proposed in a trunk show on Moda Operandi: necklaces and bracelets that seem composed with the beads that children use to create their first jewels. They seem. But in reality Carolina Bucci’s jewels are composed of semi-precious, natural, and lurex stones: gold that becomes a thin and soft knit.

The capsule collection, which was presented for the first time in 2018, is called Two Initial Forte Beads Necklace and includes 32 Florentine gold finishes. The word Forte refers to Forte Dei Marmi, a small seaside town in Tuscany, frequented by the good Florentine and Milanese bourgeoisie. And probably also from little Carolina.

It is no coincidence that the first collection of Carolina Bucci (almost 20 years ago) was Lucky, an interpretation of the bracelets exchanged with friends as a child. And to confirm that the spirit presented by the designer is that of childhood, the jewelry line also includes a kit to compose the sequence of colored pearls that best suits your taste or dress to wear.

The beads of Carolina Bucci

//




In London the necklaces and bracelets of beads, but of luxury, of the Florentine Carolina Bucci ♦ ︎

Do not call it Ikea jewelery. Yet one aspect in common with the model of the Swedish furniture chain, the new Perle Forte collection by Carolina Bucci has it. Necklaces and bracelets are, in fact, modular to made at home. The elements are bought in the London shop of the Florentine designer, but then the beads are subsequently inserted on cords of different colors. An idea that is similar to that of other brands that offer jewelry to be composed over time with elements chosen by the wearer.

The Perle Forte collection takes its name from the Tuscan seaside resort, Forte dei Marmi, where Carolina Bucci has spent many summer holidays. And when, to pass the time, he weaved bracelets with his sister and, years later, for his two sons.

The vintage atmosphere is also created by 16 large glass jars such as those for sweeties, full of semi-precious stones, which customers can select.

The beads are then put on a lurex lace, proposed in four different colors. There are also elements in 18 carat gold that can be added to the beads, like the one that compose the word “CARO”. You can also buy online. A bracelet with 30 beads costs 450 pounds, about 500 euros. The necklaces with 80 beads come to 910 pounds, about a thousand euros. The gold elements raise the price.

The 15 winners of the Couture Awards in Las Vegas. An Italian, Carolina Bucci, no Frenches, Fernando Jorge does an encore and … ♦ ︎
A rather disappointing show for Italian and French designers, judging by the winners of the Couture Design Awards. Only an Italian, Carolina Bucci (who then lives and works in London), no French and, to keep the flag of old Europe high, there are a Greek, Nikos Koulis, who is a subscriber to the triumphs on the Las Vegas stage, a Briton, Stephen Webster, and the Danish Shamballa. In any case, here are the 15 winners of the prize: 13 were selected by a jury and two by the public.

As mentioned, Carolina Bucci won the Best in Gold award with a jewel-scarf. The Florentine designer, in fact, often uses for his work a knitting in Florentine style, his homeland. Another little piece of Italy, in fact, was represented by Rosario Autore, an Italian who has been living in Australia for years and is specialized in pearls. In fact, he won the Best in Pearls award with a pearl necklace of the Mari del Su with his brand, Autore (it is the fourth prize he receives at Couture). Webster, instead, won in the Best in Innovative category with a pair of full circle earrings with diamonds.
The recognition as Best in Bridal was awarded to the American New York Eva Fehren, with a diamond ring that all the promised brides would like to receive. So much so that the designer does not want to sell it. From Cleveland, however, comes Heather B. Moore, winner of the Best in Silver award with a curious bracelet adorned with elephants. A gem against poaching, she said. Instead, she is the winner of the Best in Color Gemstones Under 20K $, Ann Korman, designer of Ark Fine Jewelry, with her earrings in opal and moonstone. The Best in Platinum has crossed the Pacific Ocean and landed in Japan, home of the Kuwayama brand, for a necklace composed of effervescent bubbles.
Other winners: Best in Colored, award for the best colored gemstones over 20,000 dollars, was won by the Indian Amrapali Jewels for a brooch with 50-carat emerald and one of the diamonds with “lotus cut”. Best in Diamonds Below $ 20K went to Studio Rêves for a pair of earrings, while the Best in Diamonds over $ 20K was won by Mike Joseph with an impressive cascade necklace.
Also awarded for the Best in Couture Design Award Men category by the Danish company Shamballa Jewels for the 18K gold-plated SJ Flip bracelet with gems. Best in Debuting went to Vram, Maison based in Los Angeles and founded by Vram Minassian. As mentioned, Nikos Koulis won the perhaps most prestigious award, Best in Haute Couture, for a necklace with diamonds, enamels and rock crystals. The Editor’s Choice went to the earrings of the Brazilian Fernando Jorge, who repeated last year’s prize in the Diamonds Above 20K $ category. Finally, the People’s Choice, voted live during the award show, went to Julez Bryant for a skull-shaped pendant. Giulia Netrese

The new golds by Carolina Bucci




The new jewelry by Carolina Bucci made with the ancient technique of Florentine gold processing ♦
The ancient technique of Florentine gold processing, exported to Britain, and then exported to Switzerland. To bring around the world the art of working gold as a knitting or as a frosted glass, is Carolina Bucci, heir to a family of jewelers active from the late nineteenth century, which is now based in London. The Maison Swiss Audemars Piguet commissioned to the designer a new women’s version of a watch model among the classics for men: the Royal Oak.
The Royal Oak Lady has been reinterpreted by Carolina Bucci with the particular gold finish, white or pink, for case and bracelet. The Florentine technique consists, in fact, in microsfaccettature on the metal made with a pointed instrument of diamond. But, next to the clock for Audemars Piguet, this technique is used by Tuscan designers for all kinds of jewelry, marked by the same process. Bracelets, pendants, earrings, necklaces: Carolina Bucci has just added new pieces to his already extensive catalog. Here are the new images. Giulia Netrese

About Carolina Bucci we have already spoken. Now the Florentine designer, very popular in the US and Britain, is launching a new collection: Recharmed. The idea is of ​​jewelry that may agree with a summer dress, light-hearted, perhaps from the beach. A little ‘Coachella and a little’ Central Park, but also with discovery of some elements dating back to the past, unearthed in the family drawers, which in Florence is active from over a century in jewelery. The necklaces are long, with semi-precious stones, such as white agate, sunset pink stones, dumorite and beads 18K gold. The sequence of spherical elements is tailored to the nuances of color: coral red bamboo is combined with pink or cream-colored. Carolina Bucci came to prominence almost by accident “I designed the first true pieces whe i was student in New York,” says the designer. “I have not had a store and did only what I liked. But those pieces appeared in Sex and the City and my name has become known. A bit too fast to be honest. ” But, obviously, those who have chosen the pieces of Carolina for fiction has done a good choise. Lavinia Andorno

(Italiano) Carolina Bucci, lo stile di famiglia

From Florence to London, via New York: Carolina Bucci calls herself a designer who “reinvents the rich heritage of his family.” Actually the jewelry shop Ferdinando Bucci in Florence was founded in 1885, and now this number is also the name of a collection of jewelery designer. But she don’t stopped at the tradition, and has preferred improve at the Fine Arts and Jewellery Design in New York. After she returned to Florence when her studies were finished, she worked alongside local goldsmiths to set off on a difficult road: weaving with threads of gold and silk, a work that has become a collection, her trademark. She would point out that she works with the same techniques and tools used by his great-grandfather but, of course, with a style that is all his own, as you can see from the images of some of his work, as Shield for rings or pendants to shaped keys, gold and white diamonds or colored. A selection of his drawings is in the collection of jewels permanent Museum of Palazzo Pitti in Florence. Matilde de Bounvilles
