The best jewels seen on the red carpet of the Festival of Cannes 2019: Messika, de Grisogono, Cartier, Bulgari, Chopard and … ♦︎

Jewels on the red carpet, jewels worn by the stars, jewels that are worth a trip to see them: the Cannes Film Festival has always been this too. The 2019 edition does not differ from this apotheosis of diamonds, colored stones, necklaces and earrings with reflections that can be spotted from miles away. Here, then, are some first-class jewels that have aroused envy, admiration and regret (for those who could not wear them).

One of the most active and brilliant houses in Cannes is undoubtedly the Parisian Messika: at the opening ceremony the Turkish actress Dilan Deniz unveiled the extraordinary North Wind necklace from Once Upon A Time’s High Once collection, the Desert Bloom earrings from the collection Born to be wild jewelry store and Mata Hari bracelet from the Paris est une Fête fine jewelry collection. As if that weren’t enough, he showed off his iconic Roman and Glam’Azone double rings and a My Twin ring.

Also for Messika, the French actress Romane Bohringer sparkled with Kashmir earrings from the Paris est une Fête fine jewelry collection. And Valérie Messika, founder and artistic director of the brand, also appeared with Wild Moon earrings, the Desert Bloom necklace and the bracelet from the Born to be Wild jewelry collection. Valérie Messika has also recommended to Selena Gomez the Snake Dance earrings of the new collection Born to be Wild and the Toi & Moi ring, also of high jewelery. Subsequently, the actress then presented herself with a Bulgari series.

In addition, Tina Kunakey also wore Messika jewels, with Wild Moon earrings, Snake Dance bracelet and the Toi & Moi ring from Private Collection, Brazilian actress Isis Valverde with the eared stuff Beloved Feather from Once Upon a Time collection a Time and the Snake Dance ring.

The American actress Eva Longoria presented herself on the red carpet, instead, wearing de Grisogono jewels. In particular with the Boule earrings in yellow and white gold coated with white diamonds (1.30 ct) and brown (28.50 ct). Always for the Geneva House, the German model and actress Barbara Meier showed a pair of Vortice earrings in rose gold with white diamonds (11.60 carats) and the Chiocciolina ring in pink gold with white diamonds (2.35 carats) .

With showy Chopard earrings, the Maison that is traditionally paired with Cannes, presented Julianne Moore at the screening of the film Les Miserables. He has changed two: first made only in diamonds and then with diamonds and large emeralds. Same choice (Chopard earrings) for Elle Fanning, which is part of the jury. Alessia Ambrosio opted instead for large spiral earrings in white gold and diamonds by Boucheron. Iranian actress and songwriter Golshifteh Farahani instead shined with a diamond necklace and Cartier opals.

Model Araya Hargate, known as Chompoo, is the new Chopard ambassador ♦ ︎

Rihanna, Catrinel Marlon, Julianne Moore … Chopard’s ambassadors are always famous women in the entertainment world. But they alternate with the same speed that Jennifer Lopez takes to change a husband. The Geneva-based Maison, an official sponsor of the Cannes Film Festival for 17 years, announced that the British-Thai actress and model, Araya Hargate, will be the brand’s new ambassador.

The Maison’s co-president and artistic director, Caroline Scheufele, recalled that Araya Hargate has already worn Chopard’s haute joaillerie creations on several occasions since her first appearance on the red carpet at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. She is famous for her keen sense of fashion, Araya Hargate, also nicknamed Chompoo, and she has become a frequenter of international fashion shows and Haute Couture: an actress accustomed to playing many different roles. Now also that of Chopard’s ambassador. Lavinia Andorno

Everything about tourmaline

Published on March 6, 2019

All you want to know about the most fashionable stone: the tourmaline. Green, blue or red, is the gem of the moment. Here is a quick tour guide ♦

Often confused with other stones, tourmaline is characterized by a wide range of hues and shades. No coincidence that the name comes from a Sinhalese word turmali, used to indicate carnelian and stones of different colors from Sri Lanka. The main varieties of tourmaline used in jewelry is one that defines the classification of the mineral as Elbaite, which is also a synonym for green tourmalines. Much used Rubellite also, which color are from red to pink, and the rare Indicolite, from a deep blue and exceptional luster.

Features Tourmaline is a dichroic stone: each crystal, usually very long, has two colors (one dark and one light), that change as intensity depending on the angle of observation. Do you know where the tourmaline name comes from? It comes from the Sinhalese word thoramalli or tōra-molli. It is a word that is applied to a group of stones found in Sri Lanka. In fact this stone arrived in Europe with the ships of the Dutch East India Company to satisfy the demand for colored gems.

Chopard, anello Red Carpet 2013 con tormalina turchese Paraiba — Chopard, anello Red Carpet 2013 con tormalina Paraiba

Color There are many and with different shades. The most sought stones are the Paraiba tourmalines, homonymous field in Brazil, although the name is used for gems from different backgrounds such as Mozambique and Nigeria, when they have this range of shades: Caribbean blue, peacock blue, neon blue, copper green, neon aquamarine, azure, turquoise generated by the traces of chromium. A trace element, chromium, which gives its name to a deep green stones that are found in Tanzania, although the color in this case is given by the presence of vanadium. A great blue saturation, brightness and purity is the rare tourmaline Indicolite. There are, then, the Rubellite with its shades ranging from pink to vivid red, tourmaline Watermelon or watermelon, true wonder of nature, because two-tone: the center is red, surrounded by an outer layer of green, or vice versa.

How to clean the tourmaline. The tourmaline is a fairly hard stone: it is between 7 and 7.5 degrees on the Mohs scale (the diamond is at 10). It is a hardness considered right for use in jewelry. But be careful not to leave the tourmaline too close to a source of heat for a long time: it could alter it and even break. But the stone can be safely cleaned with hot water and a drop of soap, while there are disagreements on the use of ultrasound and steam cleaners.

Source The most important deposits are in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, Burma, Sri Lanka, and United States (California and Maine). Many African countries have recently become major producers of tourmaline, particularly Madagascar, Namibia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Nigeria and Malawi.

Evaluation is not a simple thing due the amount of varieties and colors. The first thing to do is to examine the stone in sunlight: a green gem under an incandescent bulb may appear almost black, while a pink or red appears gray or brown. If, even under artificial light, keeps its natural tones, is likely to be a stone with a fine color. But beware, the primary color should be predominant for 70-75%. The rest of percentage is obviously a hue, ie a secondary color which, however, may change depending on the illumination, natural or artificial. Moreover, there is no general rule on dimensions and prices: some tourmalines are found only in small sizes and are used as beads in a very low cost, while others are more available in 10 or more carats. The evaluation also takes account of its clarity, which has three degrees defined by the Gia (Gemological Institute of America, the most famous center of research and teaching mineralogy of the United States): if the green tourmaline is usually classified type I, that means, has a slight inclusion visible to the naked eye, blue, orange, yellow, multi-color (except watermelon varieties) and some pink specimens stones have minor inclusions and are grade II, while the red ones , pink and watermelon belong to the third category III where noticeable inclusions are expect ed as it appears from the photos below. Tourmaline is normally not subjected to heat treatment and if this happens does not affect its value.

The magic of Chopard

Published on January 29, 2019

Anelli della collezione Magical Setting di Chopard

By a magic in the setting technique, it’s born a high-jewelry collection Magical Setting by Chopard ♦

Inventing something new is difficult, but good designers often succeed. Even more difficult, however, is to innovate the technique, especially if the one in use has been tested for decades or even centuries. It seems, however, that Chopard was able to invent something new in the goldsmith’s technique. A spell defines her as Caroline Scheufele, Chopard’s co-president and artistic director. In fact, the innovative embedding technique, developed thanks to the work of Chopard master craftsmen, has been called Magical Setting.

Caroline Scheufele wanted to make the light of the gems more intense, enhancing the presence and personality of the jewel by making the embedding disappear.

It was not easy, it seems, because the technique of setting stones is an immutable tradition. Until now. At the end of many efforts, however, here is Magical Setting, which immediately turns into a collection of fine jewelry. In fact the stones seem to be free from the bond of the metal, which is just mentioned. The effect is remarkable. The jewels use diamonds, or diamonds with blue sapphires from Sri Lanka, rubies from Mozambique or emeralds from Colombia. The cluster revolves around a single important stone completely surrounded by gems of unusual size, which give the classic design an unexpected touch of bold modernity. And as for gold, Chopard emphasizes the selection of stones not only for quality, but also for the socially sustainable origin. It is not a minor detail. Giulia Netrese

Pisa Diamanti, in Milan new brand and salon

Published on September 27, 2018

alta gioielleria/news/MILANO GIOIELLI

The Pisa Diamanti brand was born in Milan, and a new showroom in Pisa Orologeria hosts six big names of high jewelery ♦ ︎

Milan is the Italian capital of fashion, design and economy. But also of jewelry. Of course, in Valenza and Vicenza they are produced. But in Milan they are sold, especially in the so-called Quadrilatero, that is the area around Via Monte Napoleone. And it is precisely here that one of the most historical stages of jewelery is located, and not only. Pisa Orologeria, in via Verri, is a destination for luxury pilgrims, both Italian and foreign, who are looking for pieces that are often extraordinary. And there they find them. Now they can choose even more, because Pisa Orologeria presents two novelties. The first is its own high-end jewelry brand, Pisa Diamanti. The second novelty, however, concerns the opening of a large second floor.

The Pisa Diamanti collection now becomes a real high-end jewelry brand, born from the desire of Maristella and Chiara Pisa to express their values and vision in a line of jewels.

The jewels that Pisa Orologeria made without transforming the offer into a brand, are now connected by a strong name. What is defined as a touch of femininity to the universe of jewelry is a collection with deliberately essential frames to enhance what makes a truly precious jewel: diamonds. The collection presented includes tennis necklaces and bracelets, solitaires, earrings and pendants light points. Classic frames, first quality stones and a lancet-shaped griffe, embellished with a setting of diamonds, are the guidelines of the Milanese brand. There are also cufflinks, chevalier rings and even gold and diamond tennis bracelets for men. “Pisa Diamanti gives continuity to the values that have always characterized us according to our tradition: sobriety, elegance, attention to detail and constant research of quality”, comments Maristella Pisa, president of Pisa Orologeria. “Pisa Diamanti is the evolution of the relationship with our female clientele, to which we have always dedicated an eye to the watchmaking world”, adds Chiara Pisa, managing director.

Diamonds and high jewelery find a place on the second floor of the flagship store.

In addition to those of Pisa Diamanti, in the bright and velvety salon there is the best of six high-end jewelery brands. There is something for everyone: Boucheron, Chaumet, Chopard, de Grisogono, Messika and Tamara Comolli. In short, from the most classic high jewelry to the light-hearted, but always on the highest step of the podium. “It is a new point of contact with female customers, to whom we have always dedicated an eye to the watchmaking world”, continues Chiara Pisa. “A new adventure that, starting from September 2018, sees the second floor of the Flagship Store destined for the diamond universe, now renamed the Salone dei Jewels”.
The project was curated by Vittorio Carena Studio. The surface is organized with a large oval of over 100 square meters, which houses the brands, plus a satellite space dedicated to the Salotto de Grisogono. Circular desk and imperial metal cases and precious fabrics are surmounted by a glass and light installation and greeted by a large pastel-colored carpet. True luxury, but sober, very Milanese.

The collection Red Carpet 2018, by Chopard, a festival of precious gems and exotic inspirations ♦ ︎

Chopard in 2018 has reached the 21 years of sponsorship of the Cannes Film Festival. It is Chopard’s, among other things, the golden palm given to the winners. On the occasion of the film festival Chopard presents new jewelry ideas. But above all, Chopard presents new collections of high-end jewelery at the same time as the Paris-Haute-Haute-Couture Week 2018-2019 which are inspired by the Cannes Film Festival. It is called, in fact, Red Carpet 2018 the collection consists of 71 jewels created under the artistic direction of Caroline Scheufele. The number 71 is not accidental, because it is also the age just completed of the Festival that is celebrated on the Croisette.
Some of the necklaces, earrings and rings made of emeralds from Colombia, diamonds, rubies, blue apatites, purple garnets, red jasper, sapphires and many other precious elements, deviate from the classic style of high jewelery: they are inspired by the travels around the artistic director’s world. It is also a way of remembering the times when the family members of Caroline Scheufele were traveling with suitcases of valuables from one royal court to another. The jewels seem to be inspired by an exotic, Central American, Asian or African style, with unusual designs and bright colors that look like macramé fabrics. The effect is really impressive: they also deserve a Golden Palm. Lavinia Andorno

Orecchini Happy Hearts con madreperla thaitiana, oro rosa e diamanti

At Baselworld Chopard becomes even greener (and renews the Happy Hearts collection) ♦ ︎
Baselworld is not just an opportunity for the big Maison to present new collections. Chopard, for example, has chosen the stage of the watch and jewelery fair to announce a green turning point. Or better yet again, to underline the philosophy that was embraced five years ago by the Swiss brand of fine jewelery and watchmaking and which is now further strengthened.
Protection of the environment, social responsibility and sustainability are, in fact, the themes that Chopard’s co-president, Caroline Scheufele, has decided to deal with the media. Gold and stones increasingly traceable, extracted so as not to cause harm to people and limit the impact on the environment: the project The Journey to sustainable Luxury by Chopard brings the date of 2013. At the Cannes Film Festival Chopard has already presented the first Green Carpet Collection to respect these intentions to the letter. And in 2014 presented the world’s first watch made with fairmined gold.
Now Chopard wants to take even bigger steps towards sustainability.
An example is the Happy Hearts collection, one of the Maison’s blockbusters. Now to this line of jewelry is added a new version with Tahitian mother of pearl, with a dark tinge tending to green (in theme with the green philosophy of Chopard), which is added to the existing variants in red, pink, blue, green and turquoise , as well as diamonds, onyx, malachite and tiger’s eye. Chopard hearts with Tahitian mother of pearl are mounted on 18-carat rose gold and take the form of earrings and a matching bracelet, with a diamond moving in a little heart. Giulia Netrese

Baselworld reduces exhibitors

Published on November 11, 2017

Baselworld changes: halves number of exhibitors (600-700) and more innovation ♦ ︎
This news is of interest to all the jewelers and enthusiasts who migrate every year to Switzerland to follow Baselworld, the world’s largest and most prestigious fair for jewelery and watchmaking. It changes. In essence, it notes that the market changes and adjusts. (Also read: A big farewell to Baselworld).
MCH Swiss Exhibition, the company that organizes the Basel fair event, says that “the watch and jewelery market is undergoing a period of profound transformation, first and foremost through the growing market consolidation in terms of production and marketing, but even through the challenges and opportunities of digital technology.” In response to this development, Baselworld 2018 will “in a more dense and more concentrated form in different aspects.” Duration will be reduced to six days. “The number of exhibiting companies will be between 600 and 700,” says Basel. The decision greatly reduces the number of companies: this year, there were 1,300 exhibitors from 45 countries on 140,000 square meters. And the number has already been reduced by more than 13% over the previous year. “The fair is not based on quantity, but will remain the main event for the world’s first brands. This is in all segments” the Swiss company reiterated, calling for the opinion of some top-brands.
According to MCH Swiss Exhibition, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, co-chair of Chopard, says that “Baselworld 2018 will be more coherent and more focused. I look forward to participating in the 2018 event and I think Baselworld’s decision has taken the right direction to start the change. “For Eric Bertrand, Chairman of the Baselworld Exhibitors Committee, are “the first steps in a very advanced future.”
The company also states that “to continue to meet the needs of the industry, all efforts will be made to develop the traditional trade fair in an extensive marketing and communication platform. From 2018 new forms of digital communication will be offered in real time. At the same time, conceptual approaches for future editions are already developing.” Words that suggest 2018 it’s a transition year for a new concept of fair. Monica Battistoni

Sempre secondo quanto comunica MCH Swiss Exhibition, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, co-presidente di Chopard, sottolinea che «Baselworld 2018 sarà più coerente e più concentrato. Non vedo l’ora di partecipare all’evento del 2018 e penso che la decisione di Baselworld abbia preso la direzione giusta per avviare il cambiamento». Per Eric Bertrand, presidente del Comitato Espositori Baselworld, sono «i primi passi in un futuro molto avanzato».

L’azienda fa sapere anche che «per continuare a soddisfare le esigenze del settore, saranno perseguiti tutti gli sforzi per sviluppare la fiera commerciale tradizionale in una piattaforma di marketing e comunicazione estesa. Dal 2018 saranno offerte nuove forme di comunicazione digitale in tempo reale. Allo stesso tempo, si stanno già sviluppando approcci concettuali per le future edizioni». Parole che fanno supporre per il 2018 un anno di transizione, in vista di un nuovo concept. Monica Battistoni

Sales poker with 220 lots for Faraone Auction House ♦ ︎
The Four Seasons for the fourth auction of Farone Casa d’Aste. And it seems that the results of the first three sales have galvanized public and bidders: in Milan on November 20, over 220 lots will be beaten in a selection of jewels and watches. With this positive atmosphere, the forecasts are optimistic, with the aim of finding a buyer for over 80% of the auctioned pieces, as was the case at previous auctions.
Many jewelry in the catalog, with glorious signatures like Cartier, Chopard, Tiffany, Bulgari, Buccellati, Boucheron and, of course, Faraone, who is a kind of institution in Milan. There are, of course, jewels that are not signed but valuable. Faraone reports, for example, the art deco style platinum made, with 25-carat diamond cut diamonds with central pendant diamond, which can be converted into a brooch in either version, with or without pendant.
Other Important Items: a Chopard Collar with a 22-carat drop diamond, removable, and brilliant cut diamonds for a total of about 60 carats, a bracelet, always Art Deco signed by Oscar Heyman, dated 1925, and beaten by Christie’s in the 1990s for $ 400,000. Among the most significant lots there are also a pair of white gold earrings, with 15 carat diamond cut diamonds and 13mm natural 13mm pearls, a Cartier London bracelet with a pearl stud and platinum and diamond firmness. For those who think of Christmas gifts, there are also the wristwatches signed by Villa, Sabbadini and Pharaoh, as well as a selection of Patek Philippe watches, Rolex, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin and a rare Audemar Piguet pocket watch from the seventies, whose motion is enclosed by two sapphire glasses.
“We are excited about the path we are doing and look optimistic about this next auction,” comments Vittoria Bianchi, CEO of Faraone. “I can say that in just 18 months, we have achieved the good results and the service we have achieved, and we have made our catalog of items of great thickness specially selected to meet the demands of our customers. Unlike other auction houses, Faraone, having the jeweler’s soul, offers to its customers a true 360 degree service on their precious ones, which starts from the evaluation, from the board if they sell them with their auction house at the best conditions, whether to reassemble them or to dispatch them with a more up-to-date version, or to buy them directly from the maison in the case of masterpieces, both of their own and of other labels”.
