The art of jewels by Munnu The Gem Palace




Bracelets, necklaces and earrings with sumptuous gems in the traditional heart of India: the style of the Mughal empire in the collections of Munnu The Gem Palace. ︎

India is a country full of flowers. Necklaces, decorations, braids of flowers are found everywhere, not only in temples, but also for weddings or special occasions. Thus Siddharth Kasliwal, creative director of Munnu The Gem Palace, an ancient Indian brand from Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, uses gems as flowers, with jewels that become artistic bouquets. This is not traditional Indian jewellery. Indeed, Siddharth Kasliwal spends most of his time in New York and has absorbed much of the spirit of Western aesthetics.

Jewels with colored stones have a simpler design than those linked to the Indian tradition, closer to the style of jewels made in Europe or the USA. Necklaces composed of simple aligned tourmalines, an emerald that has a diamond set inside it, no-frills earrings with a rounded shape: the jewels of Munnu The Gem Palace are also popular in the West. On the other hand, Munnu The Gem Palace is heir to one of the oldest traditions. Suffice it to say that the Kasliwal family has been creating jewelry for nine generations.

The Gem Palace boasts jewels that resist passing fashions: some pieces dating back to the family’s beginnings in Agra are still worn. In the stratified society of the Mughal empire, gems served both as an investment, for accumulating wealth, and as a display of power. For three centuries the Mughal emperors used the jewels created by the Kasliwal family of Agra: opulent and extravagant pieces, true status symbols. In Munnu’s words, “at that time people wore more jewelry than clothes.”

The jewelers boasted mastery of traditional Indian techniques, such as Kundan setting and Meenakari enamelling. The story continued with a sudden sliding door, when in 1725 Maharaja Jai Singh II started the construction of the new city of Jaipur, which is still today the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Jewelers could not be missing. The Kasliwals then moved within the palace walls as crown jewelers. Even today the house of the Kasliwal family is located in Jaipur.

In the 18th century Jaipur experienced a period of wealth and afforded the Kasliwal family the opportunity to centralize their operations in a new location outside the palace walls. Many of the artisans who were previously scattered around the city have thus come together under one roof: the Gem Palace.

The British conquest of India did not slow down the work of jewelers. In 1923 the iconic Gem Palace store was opened in Jaipur, which still welcomes those looking for the Maison’s fine jewels. The jewelery offer is particularly rich. The processing takes place in the adjacent laboratories. Munnu’s jewels The Gem Palace have been the focus of various exhibitions in the West, such as the one at Somerset House in London, with around 250 pieces of jewellery, or for the Met in New York, where Munnu and his son Siddharth have opened a studio and a showroom in a residence in the heart of the city. But the story isn’t over yet.

The coincidences of Maria Marchegiani




The jewellery by Maria Marchegiani: works that bloom in the small town of Jesi.
There are jewels that are not born in Paris, and even in Milan, Vicenza and Valenza. There are jewels that, however, are born in a city of Italy, which isn’t famous for its boutiques. Yet in Jesi, a small town in the Marche region, works with appropriate conviction the creator and designer Maria Marchegiani. Coincidentally, as for other designers, she has an artistic background: he started with build sets for the theater, paint, restore old paintings, ironwork, ceramics. In her story, among other things, has a diploma at school of the sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro with Iris Project, a jewel-anthropological and contemporary sculpture.

She turns herself, then, to goldsmith’s art: began his career in 2004 when he opened a studio of design and laboratory Goldsmith Art Marchegiani in the historic Via degli Orefici that another coincidence, it is the place where he worked Lucagnolo, a student of Welcome Cellini. With this patron saint in the area, Maria Marchegiani uses silver, gold, precious and semi-precious gems, with metal alloys that are created entirely within the laboratory, also with special colors. The inspirational motifs are the most diverse: from the natural and the man. Are more than abstract ideas real models. But also she can make also custom jewelry.

The art of simplicity in the bijoux by Dario Scapitta




Being born in Valenza, as happened to Dario Scapitta, often means being destined to work in the world of jewelry. Valenza is the Italian capital of fine jewelry. But the roads are not always straight. Sometimes they lead out of the city. Dario Scapitta, for example, first took the direction for Milan, where he devoted himself to the study of set design and interior design at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. Then, he headed north, until he reached Holland.

In the Country of Tulips the designer remembered his roots and decided to take care of jewelry. But in his own way, with a very minimal and very Nordic style. The jewels of his brand, Dario Scapitta Design, are designed and produced in the Netherlands in a very limited number of pieces, to order. The lines of bracelets and necklaces are simple, as are the materials used: silver and enamel. Jewels that in 2023 also led to Inhorgenta, the Munich fair that offers a large space to the world of bijoux.

Marion Vidal, new architectures




The new bijoux-designs by the French designer and architect Marion Vidal  ♦︎

Take a few ceramic elements, add small Carrara marble segments and join them with plexiglas thermoformed and hand polished in the South of France. Now sauté with gilt brass and, if necessary, a dash of vermeil. Mix well and, if you have carefully followed Marion Vidal’s recipe, you will obtain a pleasant, modern, lively jewel.

But, in fact, if you really want to imitate the French designer, you also need an architecture degree, like that of Marion Vidal, who interprets her bijoux as if they were compositions of elements from which a project for a monument, a house, a cathedral must arise . Made, however, according to the most essential, almost subversive philosophy of architecture. Imagine, therefore, conceiving a jewel by carefully studying surfaces and volumes, weight and shades, without considering the addition of secondary, redundant details. It is the goal that Marion Vidal has reached, and that is repeated with the new collections.

Marion Vidal’s jewels can be found in her boutique in Paris, but also in the online shop on the site, as well as in various cities of the world, from Los Angeles to Seoul, in the shops of some stylists (Paul Smith in London, Christian Wijnants in Antwerp ), and even in museums (Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris or in jewelery galleries (Macle in Beyrouth).

Alberti, the classic for all




Alberti, a company in Valenza (Italy) that develops jewellery, from design to final creation ♦

Alberti: the beauty of jewelry without exaggerating. In Valenza, in the goldsmith tradition of the Piedmontese jewelery district, since 1974 the company has been offering the processing of rings and pendants made according to the good habits consolidated by the centuries-old tradition. The company was born from the initiative of an ambitious and young sales person, who collaborated with a passionate production manager, with extensive experience in making superior quality jewellery. The idea, respected, was to propose classic jewels, which were then renewed over time.

Alberti is one of those brands where a solitaire ring corresponds exactly to a solitaire ring: a brilliant cut diamond on a white gold circle, without distorting the basic idea of the jewel. The rings have their large gemstone, emerald, diamond or sapphire, surrounded by a crown of small brilliant-cut diamonds on white gold. Classics. But that’s not all: there is no shortage of jewels with original combinations of gems or very modern designs, as in the rings seen at Vicenzaoro. The company also manufactures jewelry for third parties, which it sells largely on international markets.

Spring with Icy for Amen




The warm season is approaching, the temperatures are rising, we are outdoors. Maybe to sip an ice cold drink. When winter is behind us, ice becomes attractive, as Amen thought when presenting the Icy collection, one of the novelties for spring 2023. The Tuscan bijoux brand wants to focus on contrasting colors such as blue, purple, green, olive, champagne, brown and ruby red. Colors that are those of a stone with a frozen effect called creek stone.

The stones have a square, teardrop or heart-shaped cut, while the metal used is silver in a natural version, or with a golden finish. The stones are also surrounded by fine lines of cubic zirconia. The Icy collection includes numerous pendant necklaces, rings and earrings.

Under an ancient sea with Chiara Passoni





The jewels of Chiara Passoni, precious stones and ancient teeth of the prehistoric shark ♦ ︎

Now the jewels of the sea have more jewels. But they are not colored anemones, dolphins that jump on the waves or corals that empurple exotic atolls. The new jewels of the sea or, better, dedicated to the oceans, are those of Chiara Passoni. They are not, however, simple jewels inspired by the kingdom of Neptune. Because Chiara Passoni has a symbiotic relationship with the sea: probably, if she could, she would live in a shell like the Botticelli’s Venus. For years the Milanese designer has sailed the seas all over the world. Over and under. On large and small boats and as divers, deep in the seas. And in her network has collected an absolute passion for the marine world as well as, more generally, for the natural balance. This harmony has been translated into his jewels.

Her Jurassic capsule collection goes even further: it embraces nature in an ultramillenary time frame, indeed, prehistoric.

La sua Jurassic capsule collection va anche oltre: abbraccia la natura in un arco temporale ultramillenario, anzi, preistorico.

Anello Africa Queen collection

The jewels, in fact, are made using fossil teeth of megalodon, the great ancestor of the shark. Fossil teeth that are unique pieces, combined with sapphires and diamonds, gold and silver. The designer also emphasizes that the words “Respect Your Nature” are engraved on every jewel. In all there are 12 pieces, from the necklace to the bracelet, with diamonds and shades of sapphires. The jewels are declined in different shades: from blue to pink to black. Each piece has a (very long) history and is different from the others: from the abyss to the jewelry of today, it is a journey lasting millions of years.

Peroni & Parise, golden combination




Peroni & Parise, two jewelers who combine creativity with modern and non-trivial lines. Here are the new jewels ♦

A couple (in goldsmithery) of two men: Lorenzo Peroni and Robert Parise are a combination who works in Dueville, a small town in the province of Vicenza. From their friendship, but also thanks to the creativity, they founded the Peroni & Parise, a company of jewelry that is at par with those of the best level. They started both with learning the noble profession of exciting the metal forms, polishing, file hits. And they added the choice of stones. And finally, we put them with the choice of design, very clean, but not anonymous, simple, but not boring, classic, but with the taste of small transgressions.

In short, Peroni & Parise already have to their credit many interesting collections.

Zara, for example, plays of retro and modern lines, clean and geometric. To this adds the contrast between opaque and transparent surfaces, with aquamarine, topaz, tourmaline, quartz, chalcedony in square shapes, mounted on white gold, yellow or pink with the addition of a brilliant. At the recent Voice Vicenzaoro Peroni & Parise presented the Lacrima (tear) collection, worn by a model with a nineteenth-century charm.

Geocube in green and pink





Cubed nuances for Coeur de Lion, a German brand that courageously offers a type of bijoux that is completely different from the usual. As we have already told here the common thread of the Maison, distributed throughout Europe, is in fact the cubic shape, with elements that are used to form necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The Geocube collection, which has been renewing bijoux composed with this geometric motif for years, now presents two new shades, suitable for the summer.

Colliers, semi-rigid bracelets and earrings are now available in green in its various shades. The cubic-cut gems used are synthetic tiger’s eye, green aventurine, amazonite, howlite (a mineral of the borate class: its name derives from that of its discoverer) and nephrite, a stone often confused with jade. Here are the prices: collier (229 euros), pendant earrings (69 euros) and bracelet (119 euros). In addition to green, Geocube also has a pink shade, with aventurine, rose quartz or crystals.

Precious Amore for Leo Pizzo




Amore is an Italian word known all over the world, like other popular terms like mamma or, if you prefer, pizza. Love is universal, it has no boundaries, it has no age, it has no colors. But it has a shape recognized by all, the heart. The organ that keeps blood circulating in the veins is also the one that beats the fastest when emotions overwhelm the mind. Leo Pizzo, an Italian maison from Valencia, knows these things very well and for this reason he conceived the Amore collection, which uses the eternal silhouette of the heart to symbolize the passion of the couple.

Anello in oro bianco e diamanti bianchi a forma di cuore

The Amore collection is made of gold and also uses brilliant-cut diamonds combined with precious stones such as pink sapphires to complete the pavé that completely covers the surface of the jewel. The hearts are slightly rounded, with a volume that helps to make the three-dimensionality of the jewel visible. The Amore collection includes rings, earrings and pendants linked to a double white gold chain.

Colors and gems by Anaïs Rheiner




Jewels in gold and precious stones, but above all seen through the eyes of those who have long lived in Africa, such as Anaïs Rheiner ♦

Anaïs Reiner is Swiss, but has long lived in Africa, first in Zimbabwe and then in South Africa. She opened its first store in Mozambique, in 2002. “I love this country, with colonial houses faded by years of war. But Zimbabwe was at that time still too poor. “After she moved, the violence has made escape from South Africa and she moved in the friendly France, in Paris, where he opened his boutique-laboratory in a small street 6, rue Cardinal.

Her jewels reflect the strange aspects of the African continent: brightness and great contradictions. In addition, a certain hardness and at the same time hidden wealth: Zimbabwe emeralds, pearls, diamonds and, of course, so much gold. A set that has made a success of the designer, time ago, to Révélation, the exhibition dedicated to the art of creation staged at the Grand Palais in Paris.

Lauren Harwell Godfrey, geometries and perfumes




Adidas, Levi’s and Ray-Ban. But after 15 years Lauren Harwell Godfrey has grown tired of working, albeit with a creative role, for brands intended for mass-market. So she went to California to found in 2016 Harwell Godfrey, a line of 18ct gold jewelery and handmade gemstones. But her first serious jewelry collection was launched in 2017 at Paris Fashion Week, with For Future Reference.

Bracciale a disegno geometrico in oro con smeraldi
Bracciale in oro con smeraldi
In short, Lauren Harwell Godfrey is in the strange position of almost debutante, but with so much experience behind his back. Certainly, she presented herself to the public with its own identity, a style already defined. We must therefore forgive her belief that the stones also have magical powers (healing, spirituality, etc.), even if the only power they really have is to make the women who wear them happy. In short, we fly over the baggage of medieval convictions applied to jewelry, to focus on the reality of her style: inlays, enamels, pavé, engravings, stone cuts, are used in an original way. As in the large necklace of spinels of different colors and shades. And often the jewelry is combined with perfumes selected by the designer. Also worth mentioning are the medallions that open and may contain pills.

Marco Dal Maso for women




Fascinated by travel and distant, tribal, authentic cultures. But also from the world of jewellery, which runs through the veins of the family: Marco Dal Maso learned the art of creating rings, bracelets and necklaces from his father, in the Dml, a Vicenza-based company that produces for third parties. But rather than just following in his father’s footsteps, the designer created a brand with his own name, after a stay in New Zealand, where he got to know the ancient Maori traditions. Back in Italy, Marco Dal Maso has focused on men’s jewelry, which is on the rise and quite underestimated by most of the manufacturers in the sector.

Pendente Amaia in oro 18 carati e diamanti

But not only. He has decided to expand his production also to women’s jewelry, without however losing the decisive style and the handcrafted aspect of his creations and some references to myths and dreams. This is how collections such as Orion, Amaia, Versa were born, which reinterpret traditional women’s jewelery with the design of the Venetian designer: 18-karat gold, also in the black version, with the use of white or black diamonds and precious stones, such as sapphires or emeralds. But also oxidized silver with gold and vermeil details.

New Secret Gardens by Pasquale Bruni




Eight years ago, in 2015, Pasquale Bruni presented the Giardini Segreti collection. It was a success that is destined to continue, as the Valenzian Maison under the creative direction of Eugenia Bruni now launches new pieces, which add to and renew the jewelery line. The style remains the one centered on the four-petal flower, with pavé diamonds, or with 18-karat pink or polished white gold. The petals are completely covered with pavé or show thin lines of white diamonds that outline the edge. There is also a necklace version that combines the two colors of gold. The portability remains the same as the previous jewels.

The Secret Gardens collection, which expands with the addition of new nuances, is not, however, the only novelty that Pasquale Bruni has prepared for 2023. The jewelry line is inspired by the gardens of Milan’s houses, invisible from the street , but small green oases which are often steeped in history. And also of style: Milan is the capital of design and, therefore, of the ability to translate art into a consumer product.

New fruits in Gucci’s Hortus Deliciarum




Hortus deliciarum (Garden of Delights) is the title of a medieval manuscript by Herrad of Landsberg, located in the abbey of Hohenburg, in Alsace, better known as Mont Sainte-Odile. The manuscript contained at least 20 song lyrics (only two survive), all originally notated for the music. But Hortus deliciarum is also the name of countless jewelry collections, to which Gucci’s high jewelry is now added. The novelties of the collection, anticipated in June 2022, were presented during the couture week in Paris.

Colors, geometric designs, fantasy: instead of the notes, Gucci has used the tools of jewelry, with stones in dazzling colors, such as rubellite, amethyst, mandarin garnet and emerald, in addition to the classic diamonds. The design of the necklaces, earrings and bracelets is also inspired by a geometric motif taken from ancient Rome, such as the chains with hexagonal rings. Or with a so-called chevron motif, as in the yellow gold bracelet, with diamonds and an oval-shaped 16-carat rubellite tourmaline: a jewel that, Gucci points out, takes 200 hours to make.

Io&Te in Arezzo

From religious jewels to a brand that produces bracelets and necklaces at very affordable prices: this is the story of Elisabetta Veltroni, who shelved her law degree to devote herself to the brand dedicated to the devout BellaMaria but also, together with her friend Camilla , to the more secular Io&Te. The company is Tuscan, it is located in the Arezzo district where dozens of companies specializing in gold processing are concentrated. Despite the really affordable prices, the brand promises strictly handmade creations.

Brosway chant with shell pearls




Chant, a word that means song in French, is also the name of a line of bijoux offered by Brosway, a brand of the Bros Manifatture group. It is a collection that includes a series of steel necklaces and bracelets, with a gold-colored finish, heart or star-shaped pendants.

Mateo’s American Dream




The American dream applied to jewelry. It is the story of Matthew Harris, born and raised in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Son of a seamstress. And, in 2009, founder of the Mateo brand in New York. In the US, he arrived at the age of 16 to attend college. But his passion was (and still is) jewels. Matthew is a self-taught designer, and so in his youth he spent much of his time in the Big Apple jewelry district learning the technique. Once he got the skills, he decided to go it alone.

Having founded his brand, he initially focused on men’s jewelry. Then, he expanded his production to the female world. Her jewels use 14-karat gold, a choice that allows prices to be anchored low, but also diamonds, pearls and semi-precious stones, such as quartz in its various forms, or topaz, malachite and aquamarine. She opened her boutique in the heart of the city, in SoHo, in December 2016. The streets of Jamaica are getting further and further away.

The simplicity of Fiore Roberta





Italian jewels in the world: one of the many companies that export most of their production is Fiore Roberta. The jewelry company that gave life to the brand based in Bassano del Grappa (Treviso, Italy) was born in 1989 from the initiative of Pietro Fusaro, master goldsmith model maker. To the activity, previously reserved only for third parties, was added that of jewelry with its own brand. They are simple jewels, easy to wear, and with a style that could be defined universal: tennis bracelets, eternity-type rings, necklaces with large ovals as a central pendant.

The starting idea was to create handcrafted jewels using imagination, flair and passion for details gained thanks to the experience gained working with large companies in the sector. The business was continued by the founder’s sons, Mirko and Andrea, who created the Fiore Roberta brand in 2006. The company still uses exclusively craftsmanship, with the use of 18-karat gold and precious stones, for example, in the Archetti and Altair collections.
