Jewels and flowers: an eternal bond, but that each jeweler interprets in his own way. Here are the jewels of flower power ♦
The link between flowers and jewelry is longstanding: flower power in jewelry is not a new discovery, as happens now in fashion. Maybe because petals and pistils are a source of inspiration, they do not set limits to the imagination, to the use of colors and shapes. A real godsend for any creative, insomuch as every year the floral theme is one of the coolest trends. In short, it never goes out of fashion and with a good reason, because often the results are amazing. Some examples: the collection of fine jewelry Secret Garden by Faberge, a triumph of precious stones surrounded by leaves of carved jade, that look like a bouquet of flowers.

Or the corolla collier by Pasquale Bruni, a soft lawn buds, in white diamonds and morganite. The ring Lily of the Masterpieces collection by Damiani There is also a branch of a cherry tree, a pink explosion that wraps around the finger with the opened ring by Moorphée Joaillerie or the intricate and climbing bracelet-ring by Wendy Yue.

And, yet, the Tree of Life in the earrings by Annushka, the fleshy orchid by Carrera y Carrera and the delicate one by Autore. All pieces of the highest craftsmanship. But if you want something more simple as a shepe but the same high-impact, Asprey now proposes its classic brand icon, Heritage Daisy stud earrings with petals that fade in the diamonds pistil.

Rolex and Rocca, the Damiani group’s chain of jewelers, have opened a new boutique in Costa Smeralda, Sardinia. The boutique is located in the central square of Porto Cervo, a meeting point for those who frequent the Sardinian town, and fits discreetly into the elegant context of the small village.

We are honored to be a partner of this brand of excellence in Swiss watchmaking, and to have jointly opened the new Rolex boutique in Porto Cervo. Sardinia is an area of great interest for Rocca, and this new opening is part of our strategic plan to strengthen the area. We are confident that we will offer Rolex customers an extraordinary

In the Porto Cervo boutique, 50 square meters, there is a first room where the use of beton ciré, a waxed concrete system also used as a decorative element, characterizes all the surfaces: floor, ceiling and walls. In the first room, the classic arrangement of one of the windows gives way to a screen made with wooden slats, so that the light can filter through the only external elevation without a porch. The result is a play of light and shadow as if to recall a pergola overlooking the sea. The second room however, more intimate and hidden by a wooden booth, is located at a slightly higher level than the first room, via two steps. The space is covered with large wooden slats, with curved corners and enriched by a porthole mirror, and recreates the environment of a boat cockpit. Even the sales counters have been designed and built with rounded shapes in harmony and coherence with the suggestion of boat furniture.

The growth, explains the company in a press release, involved all the main geographical areas and sales channels, with particular reference to retail. Profitability also grew compared to the previous year thanks to the increase in revenues and activities of the directly managed boutiques compared to total sales, with the consequent increase in the average levels of margins.

In the autumn, the company also obtained the assignment of an additional space within the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, also in Milan.

Rocca (Damiani) in Taormina and Naples

Published on December 1, 2022

news

For some time the Damiani Group has been paying attention to its network of shops as to the production of jewels. The relocation to Taormina and a new opening in Naples of the Rocca jewelers, which are part of the Valenza group, fit into this strategy.
The new store in Taormina (Messina, Sicily) is located in Corso Umberto, the shopping street in the historic centre, and features large exhibition spaces, with a new corner reserved for Damiani jewels, alongside those of Salvini and the Venini creations (Venetian glassware purchased years ago by Chimento), as well as designer watches, such as Rolex and Tudor. Taormina is a tourist town, where a famous festival also takes place in the summer.

The new boutique in Naples is located in via Filangieri, one of the shopping streets. Inside the jewelry store, in addition to the creations of Damiani and Salvini, watches by brands such as Cartier, Panerai and Iwc are displayed in dedicated corners, brought back to the city after several years. Also in this store there is a Venini area, as well as a watchmaking workshop.
With the relocation of Taormina and the opening of Naples, the chain is therefore still pushing on the distribution for luxury jewelery and watches.

Salvini is reborn younger

Published on October 20, 2022

Companies spend a lot of time and money to define and monitor the audience, that is, the possible customers, the reference, the target. And sometimes they even make an effort to change it. This is the case of Salvini, a brand of the Damiani Group, which returns with a rejuvenated face. This is not a facelift, but a change of direction. Salvini, in fact, is a jewelry brand closely linked to gifts for anniversaries, ceremonies, special events. The Maison’s jewels, of course, are not only suitable for these occasions, but the association between special events and jewels in white gold and diamonds, such as Salvini’s, has always been fairly automatic.

Immagine della campagna Soul Sisters di Salvini

This is why the Damiani group has decided on a change. Now Salvini wants to be associated with a younger, cooler, more dynamic audience. The rebranding is underlined with an advertising campaign, called Soul Sisters, which portrays the prototype of the contemporary woman, more linked to fashion, activity, initiative, between bright and warm colors. Shades that are found in the packaging, from cases to sales tools, up to the color in the points of sale. And the jewels? The new Salvini debuts with new collections, but without abandoning a rather classic style.

How to wear just one earring

Published on October 8, 2022

The single earrings, that is, earrings that are worn one at a time. But when can you wear just one earrings? Here are the rules to follow ♦

Large and showy, in burnished brass, gold-plated and with extravagant shapes: they are the earrings that you wear alone. After ear cuffs, ear climbers and asymmetric studs, here’s the idea of wearing different earrings, one or the other. Or, sometimes, just one, and it also combines other trends. But there are also those who suggest to wear cascades of diamonds and platinum from a single lobe, to give a modern touch to high-end jewelry. And if the costs rise with exaggerated dimensions, the solution can be to find a friend with whom to share the shopping. In short, the single chandelier is beautiful especially when you have the same tastes. Here’s how to choose them.

Rule number 1. A tiny mono earring has no reason to exist. Nobody will notice a small ring or a gold button. Above all nobody will notice that the other ear wears nothing.

Rule number 2. A large, showy, shimmering mono earring does not go unnoticed. But with all sincerity, are you sure it’s a good idea to draw attention to your ears? If you have some defect, do not overdo it: in this case it is better to wear normal earrings that are not too evident.

Rule number 3. Before wearing a large earring pay attention to the weight: it must not become annoying for the lobe: it could also cause skin irritation.

Rule number 4. A earring alone not only must have a generous size, but also has an original shape. If you want to wear only one earring, in short, better not to limit yourself to the classic gold ring.

Rule number 5. Choose the earring that best fits the shape of your face. If you have an oval and thin face, it is better not to overdo it with a long and hanging earring, which accentuates this characteristic. If, on the other hand, your face is rounder in shape, a long, hanging earring will serve to streamline the volume. Alessia Mongrando

Belle Époque Reel, Damiani at the cinema with Instagram

Published on September 15, 2022

Showroom

We all hope to live in a Belle Époque and perhaps many are experiencing it, albeit in a different way than in the late nineteenth century. Either way, that period has become a symbol that continues to inspire. This was the case, in the last century, for the founder of the Maison Damiani, who conceived the Belle Époque collection also fascinated by the contemporary birth of cinema. And it is still the case today, with the collection that was revived in a new version years ago and which is now updated with the addition of a new line.

Anello in oro bianco e diamanti Belle Époque Reel

Belle Époque Reel also returns to the theme of cinema, with a name that nowadays also evokes the short videos of a popular app like Instagram. In short, a historical era is transformed into something contemporary, immediate and fast. On the other hand, cinema is also less and less enjoyed in a room and more and more distributed online. In any case, the new Belle Époque Reel line includes new rings and necklaces in white, yellow and pink gold, enriched by top quality diamonds in the most precious versions.

The shape of the jewels (rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings) recalls that of the articulated cross in two elements which is the symbol of the historical collection. In this case, however, it is a central circular band that can rotate within two side bands. And, since the geometric pattern is made up of circles and rectangles, the rotation of the central element evokes that of the reels, of traditional cinema with film.

The jewelers that close in Russia

Published on March 9, 2022

news

The real drama is that of human lives lost in vain, of overwhelmed lives, of lives that will never be the same. But the war in Ukraine also causes a smaller, much smaller, but not irrelevant, drama related to jobs, in the West and in Russia, which will be lost to a stupid aggression. Both Russians and Westerners are dealing with the inevitable sanctions announced in time, before the invasion, which will have an impact on the accounts of companies, for example those of jewelry, as well as on the people who work there. The collapse of the ruble and the blocking of the credit card service, in fact, led many jewelry companies to suspend their business. Maybe they will close completely or reopen, if it all ends, but who knows when.

At the time of writing this short article, the last Western brand to close the boutique in Moscow was Swarovski, while Tiffany was among the first to lower the shutter, along with Vuitton. Others have already done so, others will follow. The list of Western Maisons that have opened a boutique in Moscow, St. Petersburg or other Russian cities is long. In Moscow, for example, they have a boutique Chopard, Van Cleef & Arpels, Akillis, Piaget, De Beers, H. Stern, Stephen Webster, Carrera y Carrera, Mauboussin, Mont-Blanc, Dior, Chaumet, Pandora, Frey Wille, Cartier , Trollbeads, Vuitton, Thomas Sabo, Bulgari, Pomellato, Adamas, Damiani, Buccellati. Other brands, such as Pasquale Bruni or Alcozer, are distributed in non-owned jewelers, or in airport duty free shops.

According to an analysis concerning Italian jewelery conducted by ICE (the state body for exports) in general, the Russian buyer is oriented towards medium or medium-high level jewelery. Also according to the analysis, the daily use of rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces, especially in the capital and large cities, is now seen as a form of accessory to one’s image, not necessarily combined with luxury clothing or for events special. The favorite items of Russian women are rings, chains and earrings; men prefer chains and bracelets, while brooches and necklaces are bought by a minority of the female population, while typically male jewelry such as cufflinks and tie pins are in low demand. In recent years, however, silver jewelery has been more successful than gold, due to the unfavorable ruble-euro exchange rate. Italy (2019 data) exports about 77 million jewels to Russia, about 22 million France, the United States 21 million and the United Kingdom 23 million. However, the one who exports the most to Russia is China with over 88 million.
