From here starts the series inspired by the most famous theorist of architecture, ie Virtruvio, and to his treaty from which takes its name the line; then it will be the turn of Rome, with the Colosseum, Venice and then follow all the jewel cities of the Peninsula. From the dotty quote, a constant in the production by Nicoletta and Barbara Lebole, with fabrics of the eighteenth-century Bourbon factory and the ancient kimonos of previous collections, to the next level with the use of silver: «It was a choice we have fro make as the positioning up to continue to grow and enter the jewelers who keep only objects in precious metals, no brass or bronze.
They are increasingly, especially in Italy and this is a positive signal», says Barbara Lebole. «So we decided to create collections in silver with our features: asymmetrical earrings repeating one of the historical most successful motifs, the kimono and the ideogram, that are unique pieces because the silk, applied on the silver through our patent technique, is always different. In addition, we introduced a variant in white , black and green glossy or matt enamel, all colors of Art Deco from which takes its name this line. Even prices are higher and therefore are between 150 and 200 euro». In short, the idea is simple: better to be the jewel cheaper in a store of fine jewelry rather than more expensive in a shop with a target a bit lower. Here pictures and prices. Monica Battistoni

Visconti, aring under x-ray
Published on
If you are looking for a solitary of character, the one of Icona line by Giorgio Visconti 2015 edition certainly is. It disproves the opinion that this kind of rings stand out only for cut and carats, and that, apart from these basic features of course, now they all resemble one another a bit. In some cases it may be true, but in others it is absolutely the opposite. What does it depend? By a series of technical and stylistic details that give harmony and modernity the whole ring. And we will explain why.
The first detail that catches the eye is the diamond’s mount, shaped like the letter V, solid without being heavy, making it instantly recognizable jeweler’s signature, V as Visconti, precisely. But the yield is almost calligraphic letter to make a difference: in fact, the final part up reminds the V of the Romans, with the triangle that sticks out and fits perfectly with the rod that supports it; It seems trivial, but it is not because it involves great craftsmanship of preparation of the metal. To which are added creative subtleties such as the small diamond placed under the main one, supported only from the bottom of the V, which imposes a millimeter precision in a limited space to prevent the lower point (it is called pavilion) of larger diamond, touches the second stone.
A problem that continues with the diamonds of the stem of the ring, ie the part that surrounds the finger,: placed on upper part and lateral in theory should colliding with each other with the points. One solution could be to use stones much smaller on the lateral, or place them slightly moved forward, in line with the space between a diamond and the other of the upper part. One detail that allows to maintain a good proportion in size between the two rows of diamonds and to emphasize the V and the result is excellent. That’s why it has personality. Price: from 2.600 euro. Monica Battistoni
