Umrao, scent of ancient India

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.

Pearls and design with Mizuki




The delicate and refined pearls by the Japanese-American designer Mizuki Goltz ♦

The cult of pearls has arrived in the West from the East. In particular, from Japan, where over a century ago the cultivation of molluscs that generate these delicate spheres began. It is not surprising, therefore, that Mizuki Goltz uses mainly pearls for her jewels. The designer is a perfect bridge between refined and essential Japanese design and the minimal taste of the West, especially that of the North. She explains that her collections reflect her cultural background.

Mizuki graduated in sculpture at the School of Visual Arts in New York, but then decided to combine her love for fashion and the arts with jewelry, along with fellow artist Alan Goltz. The adventure began in 1996 in a loft in downtown Soho, New York, and has grown to become a life in New York and California. But she often returns to his hometown, Tokyo, to regain contact with oriental culture. Her seemingly simple jewels have received many awards, such as the Town and Country 2017 Pearls of the Year award. In 2016, she won the Pearl Design award at Centurion and the prestigious Pearl Design award at the Couture Show in Las Vegas. Prices of her jewels (on sale online): on average from 1500 to 30,000 dollars.

Luna by Fope with flexible necklaces




Having invented, and patented, an appreciated flexible knitting system also allows Fope some flexibility in design. The Flex’it system, launched 15 years ago, thanks to microscopic 18-karat gold springs inserted in the weave of the mesh makes Fope’s jewels soft and easy to wear. A feature that, over time, the Venetian company has applied to its various collections. Now it’s the turn of Luna (Italian word that means moon), a new line of jewels which, in harmony with the general gender fluidity, is referred to as unisex.

The jewels of the Luna collection are distinguished by a greater thickness than others, an aspect that does not prevent the usual flexibility. With a surprise: in addition to the bracelets available in yellow, white and pink gold, for the first time even necklaces become extensible, a jewel that usually does not need to stretch. There is a reason: in this way the choker that is worn close to the body can adapt to the size of the neck in a comfortable way, thanks to the exclusive technique adopted by Fope for its jewels.

Fall in color with Stephen Silver

In Silicon Valley, in addition to the giants of the digital world and hundreds of start-ups, there is also a place for traditional jewelry, which also metaverse managers like. To propose precious and admired jewels is Stephen Silver, gemologist, geologist, and also philanthropist. Over the past 40 years, Silver has grown its reputation for cutting diamonds and colored gemstones, as well as in jewelry design. Today Stephen Silver is joined by his son Jared. The office and boutique are located in Menlo Park, where Facebook, oops, Meta is located.

Among the novelties of the American jeweler there are, for example, diamond earrings about 12 centimeters (4 inches) long: 12.84 carats of diamonds are set on the surface. A diamond and woven leather necklace, on the other hand, is made with 41.42 total carats of round brilliant diamonds: it can also be transformed into a pair of stackable or matching bracelets, one fully encrusted with diamonds and the other a leather cuff embellished with diamonds.

A contemporary design and more angular elements distinguish the hand-woven golden leather necklace, where an 80.85-carat emerald-cut amethyst stands out in the center, surrounded by a crown of diamonds. One ring, on the other hand, features a central 6.43-carat cushion-cut pink tourmaline stone, flanked by a total 1.17-carat trillion-cut blue tourmaline. The raspberry pink hue paired with blue-green side stones and set in precious 18k rose gold creates a perfectly rich autumn palette.

The choker is come back

/




The chokers are back in fashion and are also worn by celebrities. But how to wear a choker? Here are some tips ♦ ︎

The first, say the archaeologists, appeared in about 2500 BC in the Sumerian kingdom. Since then, the choker has always been in fashion. Sometimes for a short time it disappears to return then more desired than ever. The period of maximum splendor of the necklace was in the late nineteenth century, early twentieth century. It is often a simple black silk ribbon adhering to the neck, with a pendant. But it can also be velvet, plastic, pearls, latex, leather, silver, gold, platinum … In short, they are of all types and qualities: from high-end jewelry to affordable prices.

How to wear it: it is necessary to have a neck of the appropriate size, not too big and certainly not too short. But a choker should not even be wider than the circumference of the neck. In short, it must be the perfect measure to avoid suffocating the wearer or, on the contrary, to underline an excessive thinness. Moreover, it is better not to combine it with a very sporty suit, especially if it is a classic-shaped jewel, even if opinions differ on this point.

Also according to the American celebrity Kim Kardashian: the choker back to great. It seems this kind of necklace that actresses and singers can not do without. “After this pregnancy, I’d like a necklace of diamonds Lorraine Schwartz, like the ones that I wore for the first Art + Film Gala,” wrote Kim Kardashian, who is not the only in the star system to have rediscovered the choker. What once was a necklace used by ladies to hide early wrinkles, today is a hallmark. Even the actress and Canadian model Shay Mitchell showed in public, recently, a choker. As well as Ashley Tisdale, Nicole Richie and Jessica Alba.

Another who has long since restored a feeling with this form of necklace, which had a moment of glory in the nineties, is Rihanna, although the presentation of his eighth album has chosen a model vaguely Gothic. And than, there are some who choose minimalism, as Lily-Rose Depp, who is content with a red ribbon of cloth tied around the neck like a necklace during the Chanel Paris Fashion Week show, on 6 October. It will be a long-term real return of this form or just a fad?

Power to the geometry with Kova

The strong, geometric and unusual lines of Kova’s jewels, inspired by the artistic current of Russian Suprematism ♦

Inspired by the Russian artist Kazimir Malevich: Katie Kova is a young designer from Moscow who lives in London and offers jewelry with strong and clean lines that seem to be inspired by the current artist called Suprematism. Those of Kova are jewels with geometric structures that seem to come from the drawings of abstractionists, but also from rationalist architectures, with black pavé diamonds on blackened gold, triangles and squares that intersect, curves that surprise: the Russian designer is only 32 years old, but she is talented and can express movement with a few strokes of metal.

“Jewelry used to be an investment,” explains Katie Kova. “Now it is an accessory to wear. The sector is going through a transformation: there are not only the big jewelry houses, there are also independent brands”. The designer says she wants to create jewelry for young, international and informed women. Her Collection 1 debuted in 2015 with eight pieces in Paris during summer fashion week, since then others followed.

The sins of Hannah Martin

//




Sin is not a sin according to Hannah Martin, a British designer who goes beyond the ︎ conventions ♦
“This mysterious, driving power beguiles, controls and manipulates the house in which he rules, free of all boundaries. The Master is an enigma, so infamously unknown he could be a myth. He has been referred to by some as ‘MrS’, however, regardless of name, all find their allegiance in his irresistible web of dark beauty where dominance becomes liberty.” It is not the beginning of a fantasy novel, but the atmosphere with which Hannah Martin, selected among emerging designers of GemGenève three years ago, describes the Somebody’s Sins collection. And it is not by chance that, together with the concepts of freedom of expression and possession, Pierre Molinier, a French artist and photographer who died in 1976, is also quoted to describe the collection. He was also the author of photographs that are still considered sinful today.

Choker, rings, bracelets, earrings or pendants become, therefore, allusive and perhaps transgressive jewels. They are made of 18k white and yellow gold, with white diamonds, sapphires and amethysts, pink gold and black jade. Somebody’s Sins is a collection in perfect harmony with the designer, who is called “a rebel spirit”. According to the Maison’s definition, “Marrying the best of traditional craftsmanship with an innovative design sensibility all of her own, designer Hannah Martin set out to build the world’s first jewellery house dedicated to the exploration of androgyny in design”. Her jewels, he explains, can be worn indifferently by a woman or a man.

The British designer is graduated from Central St Martins in London, where she lives and works, but has perfected her studies in the design studios of the Maison in Place Vendôme. London, however, is where her brand has been physically and spiritually rooted since 2006. Her spirit, however, hovers above places and conventions, in perfect fluidity. The new collection of engagement rings is called Mad Love.

New Face Cube tennis bracelets by Recarlo

/




Black diamonds in contrast with the white ones. And band rings that hide invisible micro springs inside them, which allow the jewel to widen by approximately three sizes, with the thanks of those who find their hands a little swollen in the evening. Recarlo launched the Face Cube collection just a year ago, in 2019, but now it updates the jewelry line with new proposals. In particular, the Maison of Valenza has added new tennis bracelets with an original shape. Those with a chain, in particular, are to be considered an alternative to classic tennis bracelets.

In jewels there is always the contrast between white and black diamonds, which follow each other in a continuous line until leaving room for a white gold chain, which allows you to adjust the fit. To complete the Face Cube collection by Recarlo there are also the tennis necklaces in the full diamond or partially recessed version, made in three variants of carat weight (and, of course, price).

One of the novelties of Recarlo, Maison specializing in classic jewelery, particularly white gold and diamonds, is called Face Cube. But, in addition to a design specifically designed for a modern wearability, the jewels of this collection also boast an interesting technical aspect: the new band rings introduced conceal invisible micro springs inside, which allow the jewel to widen approximately three measures. Therefore, they adapt to the fingers even over time, in case you change your size, or simply are comfortable both in the morning and in the evening, when your hands can be a little more swollen.

In addition to the rings, the collection also offers bracelets and a new choker that are added to the jewels already present in the jewelry line. One of the aspects that distinguishes this Recarlo collection from others is also the use of black diamonds, in contrast with the white ones. Three sizes are proposed for the different pieces: small, large or medium.

Anita Ko chokers





The choker with diamonds by Anita Ko, a Los Angeles designer loved by Hollywood stars ♦ ︎

Anita Ko is a Los Angeles-based designer who founded her own jewelry company in 2006. She was immediately successful, thanks to the consensus received by a host of Hollywood actresses and stars, such as Huntington-Whiteley, Jennifer Lawrence, Angelina Jolie , Naomi Watts, Jennifer Garner, Kerry Washington, Amber Heard, Charlize Theron, Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson, Rihanna and Johnny Depp. Perhaps the key to success was been to offer jewelry with a moderately innovative design. New, yes, but without exaggerating. Remaining, in short, in the field of classical jewelry. An example is that of this series of choker, short necklaces, which surround the base of the neck. Gold in the three colors white, pink or yellow, with diamonds and, in some models, also a precious stone: sapphire, ruby ​​or emerald. What makes this classic shape new is the processing and composition of the stones. Prices: if you like these chokers, be prepared to spend between $ 25,000 and $ 65,000. Lavinia Andorno

The high jewelry by Shirley Zhang





Shirley Zhang, the depth of oriental thought enclosed in a jewel ♦ ︎
The high jewelery of Chinese designers has a unique, indisputable, precise identity. The millenary culture, the oriental sensibility, the delicacy in the processing of the material make creativity in high-level jewelry, a separate story. And this is the case with Shirley Zhang, whom we met at Baselworld. The designer founded her fine jewelry brand in 1994. She is based in Shenzhen. With an admirable lightness and ease in the design of his pieces, Shirley Zhang reminds with his jewels the delicate decorations with ink of the old masters. Although she is perfectly in tune with our times, as evidenced by the choker with flower motif made of titanium, gold, diamonds, sapphires, lapis and hot enamels, the house specialty, which is part of the Chinese tradition. Nature is, in fact, one of the great sources of inspiration. But it is a pin that reveals the all-Chinese ability to infuse a double reading of an image or, as in this case, an object.

The brooch, in fact, tells a part of Shirley’s way of interpreting life. The designer has faced various obstacles over the years. In the moment of drawing a balance on the past, he considered difficult experiences like a broken vase. But even the fragments of the broken vase can create something pleasant and beautiful. In short, the brooch (price: 18000 euros) is not just a gem, but a revelation. Difficult to find a similar comparison for a Western jewel.
The jewel is actually convertible into five different ways, you can choose how to wear it. The greatest difficulty in achieving it was to use hot enamel on the convex surface. Each fragment of the vase has its own space on the surface. In addition to
enamel, the brooch is made of 18 carat gold, spinels, diamonds, tsavorite, diopside.

Swarovski’s Valentine’s Day




Swarovski’s jewels for Valentine’s Day: not just hearts and crystals ♦ ︎
Valentine’s Day must shine, says Swarovski. This is why the Austrian Maison has designed a collection dedicated to the day of lovers. “Love triumphs over everything, and love has many different facets. Swarovski is proud to be a spokesperson for diversity and every possible expression of love. Therefore, in addition to the traditional heart, this collection proposes new symbols of love”, says the creative director, Nathalie Colin. “The inspiration came from a knot that, in addition to symbolizing a lasting commitment, also has a seductive aspect. The collection consists of a rigid bracelet with a bold style, an enchanting double ring and many other jewels capable of fulfilling every wish. Every creation contains in itself messages of diversity and freedom to love that are very important for me and for everyone else”.
And so here are the bijoux of the Lifelong line, with transparent crystals set in the rose gold and rhodium plating (as for the two-color rigid bracelet and the double ring). Bangle, choker, pendants and rings are also available in smaller sizes and can be combined with others or worn as individual jewels. The heart symbol of Valentine’s Day appears in the updated range Lovely. The bijoux show pavé crystals and, in fact, the shape of the heart. Lavinia Andorno

Crivelli’s Suggestioni cromatiche 3: diamonds, but also emeralds and sapphires ♦ ︎
White diamonds, a classic by Crivelli, are flanked by fancy varieties, but also sapphires, rubies, emeralds, apatites, paraibe … The jewels of the Valenza house presented at VicenzaOro widen the eye to the world of color. The series takes the name of Suggestioni Cromatiche 3. Nothing but a name, which lets you talk about the combination of stones mounted on jewelry with classic, rich, without the fear of being excessively exuberant. Necklaces with great use of emeralds, chandelier earrings with long lines of precious stones and, of course, even jewels made up exclusively of white diamonds. Perhaps the idea of ​​presenting high jewelery collections with a number of numbered catalogs will not be romantic, but what matters is the final product.
Born on the initiative of Bruno Crivelli, who decided to make the leap from the artisan to the great Maison, the company continues in this way, even with the new Suggestioni cromatiche, on the path traced by the founder. Alessia Mongrando

Pasquale Bruni wins the virtual Golden Lion of Surprise at the Venice Film Festival. The Maison of Valenza played the card of a high class jewelery, entrusted to the three ladies thanksgiving: Marica Pellegrinelli, Stella Maxwell and Sita Abellan. Three different beauties, for different creative proposals. With so many surprises. The model and actress Marica Pellegrinelli, for example, she wore on the red carpet of «Mother!» the earrings from the Vento Atelier collection, made with two sparkling tanzanites wrapped in white diamond leaves and blue pavilion sapphires. Always Pellegrinelli exhibited the ring from the Tramonti Segreti collection presented in Basel. In this case the shape of the leaves used for Giardini Segreti is enriched with the nuance of jewel with tanzaniti that from the blue go to the purple. “In the Giardini Segreti collection, the leaves become fairy-like flowers like butterfly wings, in a continuous metamorphosis of nature on a woman who loves to live her gem”, recites Eugenia Bruni, creative director of the Maison. “A line that celebrates our muse: woman and nature.”
Let’s go back to Venice: the Victoria’s Secret Northern Ireland’s model, Stella Maxwell, has showed up with a new look: the Garland ’90 choker. Pasquale Bruni hits this jewel on white and black, in white gold and onyx, colorless and black diamonds. The choker, coupled with Sissi earrings and Giardini Segreti rings, has long been back in the foreground, and this collar strikes for its simple yet sophisticated elegance.
Another gangway with the Nefertiti Garland, a big impact necklace, worn by Sita Abellan, a deejay and Spanish model. The Pasquale Bruni floral collar, dedicated to the mysterious queen of ancient Egypt, is made of deep blue drops of Topaz London, decorated with white diamond lotus flowers. Next to the collier, really worthy of Nefertiti, there are earcups drop and a ring, whose central gem rests on a lotus flower of diamonds. Finally, Sita Abellan wore Giardini Segreti rings.

Djula inexhaustible




Two or three new collections every year, bold proposals, a pinch of sensuality: here is the French brand Djula.
French jewelry for everyone, for those on a medium budget and for whom, instead, can afford to spend more. Alexandre Corrot built 20 years ago the Djula brand, in Paris, and the designer and founding artistic director of the Maison has chosen what he defines a glam-rock style for her jewelry. Repeatedly breaking with tradition as in its collection of jewelry inspired by the “barbed wire”. But not without having rinsed in the river of tradition, its roots: using ideas ranging from Art Nouveau to the more futuristic lines, all seasoned with a little ‘of sensuality. Precious materials, embroidery, innovative ideas. These three guidelines are applied in two different contexts. The first is that of fine jewelry, but “normal.” The second is, instead, a higher line, in which gold and diamonds are the materials in the center of the collection. The Djula brand, which also is VicenzaOro January 2017, also has another feature: it offers two or three new collections a year: Corrot is inexhaustible. Margherita Donato

The multi-awarded collections Atolli and Matera of Antonini expand for the summer with an eye to autumn. Two choker arrive, a type of necklace that has come back preeminently in fashion and often “extends” lines of jewels consolidated. As is the case with Atolli, who introduced in the Maison of Milan the use of jett: a black fossil stone, matching gold and diamonds, white or black. The collection Matera, on the other hand, is made up of jewels with a concave surface covered by a pavé of diamonds, white or champagne, recalling in miniature the extraordinary architecture of the Italian city excavated in the tufa. Now two jewels of these collections can also be used together with a lanyard to tie to the neck. Prices: choker Matera 2.800 euros, Choker Atolli 3.950 euros. Lavinia Andorno
