The ancient charm of India of Rajasthan in the traditional jewelry of the Maison Umrao in Jaipur ♦ ︎

The millennial history of India, ancient traditions, legends, rituals, spirituality, folklore, craftsmanship, love for luxury … Put all this in an ancient brass vase together with fragrant incense. The result is Umrao, jeweler of Jaipur, Rajasthan, flag bearer of the tradition of the great Asian country.

Choker tradizionale con diamanti taglio polki — Traditional choker on 24k gold with polki cut diamonds

Its jewels, in addition to a particularly rich and elaborate appearance, are anchored in the Hindu tradition. For example, with jewels that follow the principle of Navaratna: nine stones on a single piece, usually a necklace. Navaratna stones are ruby, diamond, blue sapphire, yellow sapphire, emerald, red coral, pearl, cat’s eye and hessonite: they represent the energies of nine astrological planets. In fact, each stone is considered to be linked to a planet in its alignment and corresponds to a particular chakra. It is a sacred combination recommended in Vedic astrology to promote financial prosperity, professional growth and good health.

In short, if you love traditional India and follow astrological influences, chakras, etc., these jewels are just for you, if you can afford it. By the way: in addition to precious stones, almost always with antique cuts like polki diamonds (used during the Mughal empire), Umrao’s jewels are in pure 24 carat gold, an other traditional choice.

Umrao Jewels was founded Shri Umrao Mal Shah, and now that in Jaipur no geverna plus the maharaja, children and grandchildren continue his work. In addition to the traditional Indian style, the Maison loves to create art pieces in Edwardian, Byzantine, Maghul, art dé and art nouveau styles, often with a fusion of fascinating styles.

The new Brosway Chakras

The chakras are part of the esoteric beliefs of the medieval era, rooted in Buddhism and Hinduism, and concern the physiology and psychic centers identified by Indian traditions. But, despite the uncertain origins and an even more dubious scientific finding, the chakras continue to be fashionable in the West as well. Perhaps that is why the Chakra collection by Brosway has been one of the greatest successes of the Bros Manifatture brand for years, even if the bijoux have no explicit references to the spirituality of the Indian tradition.

Now the collection is back with new pieces that will be appreciated by the numerous collectors of bracelets and necklaces with steel pendants, in some cases with a gold-colored finish, and crystal details. The pendants include the letters of the alphabet, with which to compose words and names, but also medallions embossed with the design of the lotus flower, a shell or a star, a map of the world, a rainbow, but also a cross.

Noor Fares, a refined jewelry designer, married the artist and businessman Alexandre Al Khawam in 2015, with whom she had a child. She lives in Belgravia, an exclusive district of London. Not only. She comes from a wealthy family: her father is Issam Michael Fares, a Lebanese businessman, former member of parliament and deputy prime minister of Lebanon. Noor’s happy life also includes a childhood in Paris, studies of art history in Boston and gemology in London, where he earned a master’s degree in jewelry design from Central Saint Martins with a thesis focused on the importance of fiction in jewelry.

A lucky story, which is hardly the result of the subsequent series of evil eye necklaces made by her Maison. The Lebanese designer is more linked to the symbols of the Indian tradition, with jewels that are inspired by the symbols of the chakras or ancient designs related to meditation. The transparencies of the stones, the geometries with oriental motifs, the references to a spiritual and magical dimension are her guides in the composition of her collections.

Brosway launches the anklets for the Chakra collection in metal, Swarovski crystals and natural stones ♦ ︎

If you are not familiar with Hinduism, know that chakra is a word that in Sanskrit (the ancient Indian language) means wheel, disk or circle. In addition, it has also taken on a meaning related to Indian spirituality inherent in yoga and Ayurvedic medicine, originating from the Tantric traditions, both of Hinduism and of Buddhism. The matter may not be of interest to you, but the fact is that Chakra is also one of Brosway’s most successful collections. So much so that for autumn winter 2019-2020 it has been renewed.

The new jewels by Noor Fares, awarded at the Couture Design Awards 2019 ♦ ︎

The year 2019 must have a particular astral ascendant for Noor Fares, a Lebanese designer (her father is a former deputy prime minister of Lebanon), born in Paris and residing in London. She is convinced that supernatural forces act alongside daily reality, and must have probably thought that the triumph at Couture in Las Vegas is not a coincidence. The designer won, in fact, in the Best in Colored Gemstones Below $ 20,000 category at the Couture Design Awards. In fact, she certainly does not lack creativity, perhaps due to her family origins.

Hala, her mother, was an artist known for his inclination to wear mismatched shoes. The grandmother was a creative and aunt Sonia Fares a fashion designer as well as former Miss Lebanon. The aesthetic research of the British naturalized designer is linked to the belief that stones also bring positive energy, as in the Prana collection, which follows the Chakra collection. The jewels always are uses stones in a creative way, but also in a vaguely alien way, as if they were the result of the work of a designer who has just arrived on Earth. Perhaps this is why they won the Las Vegas jury. Giulia Netrese

TinyOm, bracciali con le sette pietre chakra

By TinyOm, the Stones line of jewelry: seven like the chakras of the Indian tradition ♦ ︎

Since you have already spelled your morning mantra, have do the usual sun salutation and performed the necessary yoga exercises, you can dwell on the new Stones line that is part of the Chakra Collection, an icon of the Tiny-Om brand.

The collection represents the seven energy centers of the body, according to Indian tradition, through the seven lotus flowers.

In case you do not know, TinyOm was founded by Virginie Dreyer, a former lawyer in Paris. Leaving the books of law, in the Middle East Virginie has discovered her creative ability and has become passionate about yoga, which she practices and teaches. That’s why her jewels are closely linked to the oriental world. The name TinyOm, for example, derives from the Mantra Om, which celebrates the birth of the universe.
The new line, Stones, symbolizes the chakras through seven stones, associated with the seven chakras, seven colors and seven emotional states. The seven stones used are the pink tourmaline (Unity), the purple amethyst (Serenity), the blue iolite (Communication), the green peridot (Love), the yellow citrine (Fiducia), the orange cornelian (Creativity) and the garnet red (Roots).

Pasquale Bruni and the chakra of love

Bracciale e anello Amore 4 Chakra, oro bianco, diamanti, smeraldi

Love and chakra: the concept translates into a collection signed by Pasquale Bruni ♦ ︎
Fascinated by Indian traditions, culture and philosophy, designer Eugenia Bruni uses the metaphor of the number 4 chakra for the new collection, which is summarized in the word Love. The chakras, according to ancient Indian spirituality, represent the vital points, within the body, that are connected with an immaterial dimension.
The fourth chakra, in fact, is that of the heart. That is, that not only has an essential function for the life of the body, but it is also a bridge to the world of affectivity, at least on a symbolic level (“The heart is the chakra whose gem is love”, he says Eugenia Bruni). And here is the collection of Pasquale Bruni dedicated to love in an unequivocal way. The jewels, in fact, show the rounded shape of the heart or completely report the word Love. The jewels use rose quartz and emerald, placed at the center of each piece, while the frame in pink or white gold is embellished with white or champagne diamonds. By the way, the stones have a new cut, called by Pasquale Bruni “cut chakra of the heart”.
The Amore 4 Chakra collection includes band rings and rigid bracelets. Another new aspect for the Maison: the flex bracelet is born, with two white gold threads that can accommodate any message. Finally, to stay on the subject: with a 4°Chakra collier, Pasquale Bruni won last year at the Couture in Las Vegas. Lavinia Andorno

The spirals of Noor Fares

The spiritual spirals by Noor Fares in the Navratna collection ♦ ︎
There are those who are content to design jewelry. There are those who are content to wear jewelry. And there are those who, like Noor Fares, draw and wear jewels because they think that talismans, symbols and traditions are closely linked to human nature. That is, that the stones possess supernatural powers, the forged metal in a certain form can give peace, tranquility and keep away evil spirits, and so on. No ancient form of spirituality is forgotten by the Lebanese designer who grew up in Paris and emigrated to London. At the recent Design Room of VicenzaOro January, for example, Noor Fares presented, among other things, the Navratna collection. The name is that of a work in Sanskrit (ancient Indian language) which means “nine gems” and that, says the designer, it is said to provide an astrological balance and benefits the wearer. What kind of benefits and what kind of balance can only be said by those who try to wear the jewels of the collection. For those who are more skeptical, however, it may remain the pleasure to choose earrings, ring and necklaces that draw enveloping spirals or crescent. Gold, diamonds, stones like carnelian or garnet are the materials used by Noor Fares for Navratna. Prices: on average about 2000 to 4000 pounds. Margherita Donato

Yoga lesson with Thomas Sabo

Thomas Sabo, the Mini Chakra collection for a winter of Indian flavor ♦ ︎
An exotic Christmas? There is no need to book a cruise or even go to the cinema: Thomas Sabo, an German jewelery brand, has always had a liking for vaguely ethnic themes, as the collections that remind the traditional bijoux of Indians of America, to bijoux that are inspired by indians of India. The Mini Chakra collection, for example, goes right in this direction. According to Hindu religion and yoga, chakras are the points inside the human body where the main energy centers reside. Dedicated to this concept is the collection with bracelets and necklaces with geometric symbols as small mandala by Thomas Sabo’s. What, then, they have a real influence on the psychophysical balance of those wearing them is to be seen. But, probably, choosing a jewel of this type is out of this kind of consideration. Prices: beads bracelets from 69 to 98 euros. Mini Chakras necklaces from 98 to 149 euros. Giulia Netrese

In Indian religion, Hinduism, Buddhism and yoga, the chakras are areas of the body where are some of the physical and spiritual energies. In particular, the heart chakra is the center of everything. Not only because the heart is a vital organ, but because it is the seat of the spirit and the center from which all human emotions, especially love. You can believe or not this romantic conception of a muscle that pushes the blood in the veins, but for sure you will be charmed by the expanse of precious flowers composed of diamonds that make up the precious jewel collar 4th Chakra of Pasquale Bruni. Even before the heart, this piece of fine jewelry, made by the Piedmont Maison, vibrates your eyes. The set is composed by two coordinated pieces, collier and soft chandelier earrings: they are pieces that can also upset a master yogi. The necklace is composed of 4,549 diamonds for a total of 47.05 carats, the more an emerald of 16,68 carats. And more, there are the earrings with 400 diamonds totaling 4.68 carats and four emeralds, two small and two larger by 3.62 carats. A precious nirvana. Giulia Netrese

Doing yoga with TinyOm

The Chakra is a concept born in India, among yoga and Ayurvedic medicine. Originates in the tantric traditions, Hinduism is both in Buddhism. It is commonly regarded as a vital center and indicates the elements of the body where it should reside divine energy. Prerequisite to explain the Chakra collection, designed by Virginie Dreyer, the founder of TinyOm. A brand that is inspired by yoga and the scent of the Orient. And to say that the designer was a lawyer in Paris. Then, for family reasons, it moved to the Middle East, in Bahrain. There, where she still lives, she studied graphic design, drawn from goldsmith and local artisans. At the same time, however, it is passionate about yoga. The result is a series of jewelry with a value and a symbolic meaning. The latest collection of TinyOm is precisely Chakra. Each sign transformed into jewel has its own meaning: Units, Tranquility, Love, Creativity, Confidence, et cetera. But, be careful: it is not sure that putting on a symbol active automatically the desired chakras. Rudy Serra
