VicenzaOro, among the news there is the farewell of Marzotto





The vice president of Ieg, Matteo Marzotto, leaves the company with controversy, while they preparing the edition of VicenzaOro January ♦ ︎

There are already the first changes for the next edition of VicenzaOro January. But at the appointment of the winter edition of the jewelery fair, controversy also shine. That can not leave the insiders indifferent.

A few days ago, in fact, Matteo Marzotto, vice president of IEG, a company born from the union of Fiera Rimini with Fiera Vicenza, has resigned from his position, in a controversy with the octogenarian president of Italian Exhibition Group, the very senior Lorenzo Cagnoni.

It is not a little good-bye, as Marzotto must be credited with having relaunched VicenzaOro, above all at a difficult time for the Italian economy. New ideas, dynamism and personal relationships of Marzotto were the recipe for the new face of the format, which was then successfully exported abroad. All this, however, does not seem to have been enough for the new management of the company. More than a merger between two partners, it is the sense of the farewell of Marzotto, it was a question of an OPA of Rimini on Vicenza. And for Ieg, whose goal is to be listed on the stock exchange, Marzotto’s leave is not a minor goodbye.

The distance had already appeared clear during the last edition of VicenzaOro September, in which Marzotto was not involved.

In any case, the Veneto entrepreneur did not use half-terms and denounced in a letter the lack of “institutional respect of the minority shareholder, too often ill-tolerated and kept on the sidelines, even on occasions of important decisions, such as that of assignment of the design for the enlargements of the exhibition areas, brought to the board by ad Ravanelli to things widely done and for mere disclosure”.
Marzotto’s letter also underlines what the experts have been saying negatively for some time: the hasty dismissal of the former director of Fiera Vicenza, Corrado Facco, Marzotto’s right-hand man and co-author of the re-launch of VicenzaOro.
“The way we look is practically opposite on everything, except on the goodness of the merger of the two fair companies and their listing on the Stock Exchange”, concluded Marzotto bitterly.

Maybe even to spread a veil on this epilogue not commendable, IEG begins to turn on the lights on the next appointment. Here are the news: Roberto Coin will present the new versions of the Princess Flower collection, Damiani the extensions of the D.Side, Eden and the iconic Belle Epoque collections. In the Icon area there will be Fope, Crivelli, Leo Pizzo, Tamara Comolli, Djula. A confirmation is also that of Alessio Boschi in the Design Room, in which he will also find the Parisian designer-artist Lydia Courteille, the Vicentine Mattia Cielo (for him a return) and Monica Rich Kosann. Confirmation also for Giovanni Raspini, Rue de Milles, Victoria Cruz, Bronzallure, Crieri. Cosimo Muzzano

Damiani’s mimosas

//





Masterpiece Mimosa collection by Damiani: goldsmiths virtuosity for jewels that flower on your body ♦ ︎

A mimosa is not only given on March 8, the day of the women’s party. The flower associated with the female world can also turn into something more precious: in a piece of jewelry out of the ordinary. A Masterpiece. With Mimosa Damiani proposes a new collection of jewels featuring the flower that blooms when spring arrives.

Bracelets, rings and earrings have the lightness of a small branch of flowered mimosa.

But, unlike natural, yellow flowers, the small inflorescences of the Mimosa collection are also made of white and gold diamonds in different colors. The small fancy, brown and colorless diamonds with brilliant cut face each other on either side of the stem, ie the open and flexible gold band. An inner core allows the jewels to be anatomically enveloping so as to adapt to the body offering better wearability.

The technique used is the one defined in the Maison as “apparent chaos”.

In fact, the arrangement of claws and stones is apparently random, as in natural flowers. An effect that is not simple, because it is the result of a careful choice of size, weight and position of the diamonds. Alessia Mongrando

Damiani’s butterflies

//





The butterflies € 1 million price signed by Damiani fly to the Venice Film Festival ♦ ︎

The Venice Film Festival is a stage for actors and actresses. And there is a way of saying that defines the protagonists of the entertainment world as “stage animals”. However, they are not the only animals to animate the days of the edition of the Venice Film Festival in Venice number 75. In fact, there are also the animals-jewel of Damiani, which is partner of the Fondazione ente dello spettacolo, an association promotes the enhancement of film culture in Italy. In fact, the Maison of hine jewelry has always had a link with the cinema, with ambassadors like Sharon Stone, Tilda Swinton, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt, without forgetting the very Italian Isabella Rossellini and Sophia Loren. And Damiani jewels have also appeared in famous films, such as Angels and Demons, A Bigger Splash, The Blind Side.

Damiani has therefore decided to present at the Mostra del Cinema the creations of the Animalia collection:

spiders, geckos, owls, monkeys, parrots, dragonflies in the high jewelery version. In particular, the novelties are made up of three new butterfly rings. The first ring is made of white gold and features an oval fancy purplish pink of 2.23 carats, refined by the intensity of the sapphires that design the lightness of the wings in the different shades of blue. In the second one a round-cornered rectangual fancy blue of 2.52 carats is mounted on rose gold and complemented by white and brown diamonds, in a harmonious alternation that evokes the beauty of a butterfly in flight. In the third proposal, a 3.13 carat yellowish green cushion fancy is combined with white and yellow diamonds, in which the flashes of light are enhanced by the yellow gold. An ingenious mechanism reproduces the wingspan of the butterfly and the movement of the beating of wings. By bending the finger, the pin comes alive, creating a surprising effect. Price: over 1 million euros.

Jérôme Favier will leads Damiani





At the head of the Damiani group a new CEO arrives, Jérôme Favier, will push on the internationalization ♦ ︎

Space for managers. Damiani, the largest Italian jewelery group, introduces a new managerial figure: Jérôme Favier has been named CEO of the jewelry group. Giorgio Grassi Damiani, on the other hand, remains the managing director of Damiani spa, listed on the stock exchange.

Nothing changes with regard to the corporate aspect: Damiani is a 58.9% subsidiary of the Luxembourgish Leading Jewels, a financial company owned by the Valenza family. Guido Grassi Damiani remains president of both Leading Jewels and Damiani.

Jérôme Favier has a consolidated management experience, started in Danone and Unilever, to then define himself in the luxury sector. In 1994 he joined Richemont and worked on the strategies of Cartier and then Jaeger-LeCoultre. Damiani, explains a company statement, aims “to define a business model that knows how to weave the most innovative managerial methodologies, innovation and craftsmanship heritage of which it is the custodian”.

Following this appointment, Damiani has also changed the sales organization with the aim of enhancing collaboration with partners in the field of branded jewelery and with the will to privilege those who will invest in the range of brands of the Group.

Damiani pink with D.Icon





An extra pink ring in Damiani’s D.Icon collection. Here are pictures and prices ♦ ︎

Damiani expands the D.Icon family, the collection of the Piedmontese brand that uses the marriage between gold and ceramics, to which are added small diamonds. The novelty is represented by the D.Icon, with candy pink color ring, a delicate and very feminine nuance. The whole collection plays on softness, with very rounded shapes and rather soft tones. There is another reason for using such a design: the shape is designed to also evoke the Damiani letter D.
The range of the D.Icon collection includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings, and is one of the most popular lines of the Maison of Valenza. Over the years, the D.Icon jewelery line has expanded from the classic black and white to the most trendy shades such as cappuccino and sugar paper. And now, here is the pink color. Prices: rings 2090 euros, earrings 1490 euros, necklaces 1540 (heart pendant), or 2490 (ring pendant). Lavinia Andorno

A masterpiece among Damiani’s Margherita

//




In Paris Damiani presents the enriched Margherita collection and a watch-bracelet, a unique piece masterpiece ♦
High fashion, high jewelery: the wedding is consumed every year in France, on the occasion of the Paris Haute Couture. It’s an appointment Damiani, a group which is leader in Italy of jewelry and fine jewelry, decided not to miss. Damiani has therefore organized a preview of the new creations of Fine Jewelry of the Margherita collection in their Boutique in Place Vendome: see the pictures on this page.
The collection was created by revisiting the original sketches of the founder of the Maison and supplier of the Royal House of Savoy, Enrico Grassi Damiani, and is inspired by the elegance of the wife of the king of Italy Umberto I (1844-1900), Queen Margherita. In addition to having bequeathed to the entire world population a food jewel as the most classic of pizzas, the Margherita pizza (baptized in Naples in his honor: is topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, perhaps its greatest merit), the Regina was also famous for its elegance and for its passion for jewelery: it is no coincidence that her has been given a gift of diamonds and of great value.
The Margherita collection consists of a series of precious flowers in gold, diamonds, citrine quartzes and amethysts. The motif of the daisy consists of a center from which the petals radiate and is repeated on rings, bracelets, pendants and earrings.
Bracelet and secret
The Margherita collection also begins to count the hours with jewel-watches. Damiani, in fact, also presents a precious watch-bracelet made in over 500 hours of work thanks to the excellent skill of the goldsmiths of Valenza. The bracelet is created with 52 daisies (from 6 to 18 millimeters) made of white gold and brilliant cut diamonds of different diameters linked to each other through small rings that provide softness in movement and a perfect fit.
The central bouquet conceals an elegant watch (with Eta Swiss movement) concealed by a mechanism. A small touch triggers the lid that magically rotates sideways revealing the precious hands and the full pavé dial. This unique piece takes around 75 grams of white gold and 15 carats of diamonds.
Among other things, with the collection Margherita Damiani won the prestigious Sina Fashion Style Awards 2017 in Beijing. Sina is the most important and authoritative Chinese portal in the country for trends and information.

Valentine’s Day with Battito

/

Salvini for Valentine’s Day proposes Battito, a ring with diamond. Images and prices ♦ ︎
Valentine’s Day arrives, comes the right-duty to give a jewel, it’s time to choose. On February 14th it became a key event for jewelers, especially those who have their focus on the classic production of rings and necklaces. A classic, for example, is the proposal of Salvini (brand of the Damiani group) that presents the solitary Battito. The ring is composed of a brilliant enclosed in a system of jaws modeled on the design of the heart. The symbol of love also appears on the bottom of the setting, in contact with the finger, as if it were an eternal promise. The small diamond is on the outer stem. Another particularity is the frame with pink gold stick, much used by Salvini. Price starting from 745 euros, according to the diamond carats. Alessia Mongrando

Damiani, Belle Epoque detachable




The Belle Epoque of Damiani is enriched with a detachable collier. Here are images and prices of collection ♦
Belle Epoque is not just that of the late nineteenth century, when the world progressed rapidly. Belle Epoque is also a collection of Damiani for our era. Around the myth and poetry of those years, which evoke the Paris of the Impressionists, the frac and the bistros, were written books and paintings paintings that are part of the history of art. Damiani to those atmospheres adds a set of earrings, rings and necklaces with cross pendant. Jewelery is made of white gold with diamonds, or with the addition of emeralds, sapphires or rubies. The collection has been in the catalog for a long time, but for the winter 2017 the Maison of Valenza adds a novelty: a collier with a removable pendant. A smaller cross, with rubies, can be inserted into a larger frame, in gold and diamonds. Alternatively, the two jewels can be worn separately. Prices: diamonds only 3990 euro, cross 9890 euro. Ring with diamonds and rubies 4980, cross 6980. Ring with emeralds 5490 euro, cross 4690. Sapphire earrings with 3145 euros, cross 6980.

The Signs of Salvini




Salvini’s Segni collection for anyone who wants to communicate something besides wearing a jewel ♦ ︎
Life is made of signs. Everyone wears signs with the choice of their clothing, and is accustomed to signaling his intentions and tendencies. So it’s not strange that jewels are also signs. Indeed, sometimes, as in the Segni di Salvini collection, it is the symbols that become jewels. Launched last year, now the Segni collection is enriched with collier, bracelets and earrings. The signs chosen by the Segni collection are three: cross, heart, butterfly. They are symbols that remind ideas of faith, passion, freedom. There is no shortage of the latch mechanism used in the collier, which has already been used in some of the Damiani’s Maison’s masterpieces, and which allows the chains to slide inside the jewel-sign made of white gold and diamond pavé. The rigid bracelets are another novelty: they are made of white and pink gold, with diamond pavé. Indicative prices: bracelet 1290 euro, necklace with latch 1375 euros.

Jewelry, financial statements between gold and lead




Jewelery financial statements are not all gold according to Pambianco ♦
The 2016 was not a golden year for jewelery, but not too bad. A round of informal phone calls seems to indicate, however, that 2017 may close with a more positive balance. The wrist of the jewelery and watch sector is heard by Pambianco, a consultant specialist in the luxury sector.
In his analysis, besides certifying the bad moment of the watch sector (difficulties also witnessed in Baselworld), Pambianco put the budgets of the major jewelery groups under the lens. Result: some positive results, such as Pomellato, which thanks to the care and synergies of the Kering group increased revenues by 11.5%, Unoaerre, which grew by 7.9%, Damiani (+ 4.8%) or Morellato (+ 2.8%). Also, Chrysos, which also produces the brand Officina Bernardi, it has seen sales up by 5.4% to 56.3 million. But there are also significant decreases. For example, Asolo Gold, a specialist in chain production, saw revenue falling from 28.2% to 80.5 million euros. Among the famous brands for design, Marco Bicego dropped 4.5%, despite good performance abroad, at 47.4 million, while for Roberto Coin the decline was 4.7% to 46 million. Slight decline (-0.5%) also for Stroili Oro, bought by the French Historie d’Or group in the summer of 2016. Federico Graglia

New Masterpiece Damiani

New Masterpieces signed by Damiani: spider-rings and a wonderful diamond peacock ♦ ︎
When Damiani shows what he knows to do at the highest level is an event. As in the case of its Masterpiece collecion, which are at the top of jewelery but, more generally, of creative genesis. It is not necessary just to show gold and precious stones to create masterpieces, but you need to add goldsmith and fantasy expertise. And in the case of Damiani’s Masterpiece these two qualities are matched to perfection. The new arrivals are unique pieces, but naturally tied to a style, that of the Maison from Valenza and the Animalia series. The latest additions to the rarefold series of unique pieces are the three spider rings and a sparkling peacock. In the first case, the arachnids are made with a pile of small diamonds arranged next to each other. A spider was made of white gold and white diamonds: it was immediately sold and only the photo remained. The other two spider-rings, with their paws large on hands, are still available and made of yellow gold with diamonds brown and white gold with black diamonds. The price is 39,000 euros.
Another outstanding piece is the peacock, mounted on a pink stingray bracelet: a glittering white diamond trimmings protruding to represent the feathers. Peacock can be detached from the bracelet to be used as a pendant or brooch. The diamonds are of the highest quality, the goldsmith’s work to achieve this unique piece is even more precious. Like the price: 175,000 euros.

Words on the wrist with Bliss




Bliss’s #Mywords collection: four-color tennis bracelet with the ability to compose custom words or phrases ♦ ︎

Salvini chevalier




Chevalier ring and earrings in Salvini’s Dettagli collection ♦︎
A chevalier ring and ancient Egypt. The couple, certainly a novelty, is a idea of Salvini, brand of the Damiani group, with the Dettagli collection. The rings of the collection, in fact, have the classic shape of the jewels used a time and still today by the nobility to show the coat of arms of the house (in the past it served as a kind of stamp for correspondence). Salvini notes that the chevalier ring has ancient origins: it had been used since ancient Egypt as a family emblem. In the Maison version, however, there is a pavé of diamonds in place of the coat of arms, which can be combined with any noble or noble name. The jewels are made of yellow, white or pink gold, with white diamonds and matches with the earrings in the same style. Alessia Mongrando

With Damiani one Margherita in Florence

Damiani in Florence changes boutiques and presents the Margherita collection ♦
Damiani extends to Florence. The large jewelery group in Valenza chose a new venue for the boutique in via Tornabuoni, a luxury shopping street in the Tuscan town. Damiani was already present in the same street since 1997, but today he has chosen a wider location. The jewelery store space is built on two floors, connected together by a staircase: it is located in the interior of Palazzo Gianfigliazzi, a building dating back to the 13th century and still preserving some structural elements of the medieval era. The spaces of the new Damiani boutique are, of course, adapted to the times: they have been subjected to an accurate and demanding conservation, with the aim of preserving the essence of the building.
On the occasion of the inauguration (June 28, 2017), the new Margherita collection was showed, inspired by sketches made a century ago by the founder of the house Enrico Grassi Damiani, as tribute to Margherita di Savoia, the first Regina d’Italia: stones of different dimensions are as a corolla and surround a larger central stone. They are diamonds all over and white gold, or brown diamonds for petals around a central diamond, this time the frame in elegant pink gold, or white diamonds, but blossom, precious petals, around a citrine quartz heart The third variant of the pattern-icon of the collection, yellow gold the election metal of this latest version.

The Bliss’s celebrations

Jewelery for the great occasions, such as Mother’s Day or others celebrations, by Bliss. Images and price ♦
Mother’s Day, wedding anniversary, religious celebrations … They are all occasions where, often, it is a good idea to give a jewel. But which? Bliss (Damiani group) has decided to eliminate any doubt with the creation of a whole jewelery family with a wide range of prices and for various ceremonies or celebrations. Everything goes under the name of Le Ricorrenze. But the lines inside are very different. For example, collier, rings and silver earrings and cubic zirconia are the elements of the Le Gioie collection, with prices from 59 to 99 euros. The pendants of this line have the shape of circles that have within them symbolic figures: heart, clover, or a male or female icon.
The Simboli collection, instead, is designed for the younger girls, indeed, very young, perhaps their first jewel: even in this case it is played on the symbols, such as the shapes of a child or a little girl, an angel or a butterfly . They are all made of silver with the addition of cubic zirconia. The price is 39 euros. Another low-cost collection is Funny Pets, inspired by home-grown friends: there are silver icons of a dog, cat, or fish, a turtle and a butterfly. Here, too, the silver is with cubic zirconia. The price is always at 39 euros.
With the die-cutting technique, the Coccole collection, of collier bracelets. On an silver plaque there is an icon made of mother of pearl: a heart, an angel, but also a ladybug. Price: 59 euro.
It climbs a some steps, instead with the collier collection My Family. They are made of 18ct white gold and diamonds. Also prices are up: from 589 to 649 euros. Giulia Netrese

Damiani makes flourish Margherita

The Margherita collection by Damiani: history of flowers and a queen ♦
Peel off the petals of these daisies (you say margherite in italian language) would be a shame. Not only for the cost of such an operation, but also because it would ruin a job well done jewelery. Damiani, however, launched the Margherita collection, which is shaped like a daisy, thinking of another Margherita.
Read also A Crown for Damiani
To be precise, in honor of Queen of Italy Margherita di Savoia, wife of Umberto I. A very popular woman in the early twentieth century: she was social before there were social networks. And it is a compliment to remember that the Margherita pizza is named in her honor. She was also much appreciated by Enrico Grassi Damiani, who in his time has dedicated to her a jewel. The history of the House of Valenza records that the daisy, understood as a flower, then reappeared in the seventies through the work of Damiano Damiani, son of Enrico, maybe inspired by the hippie culture with Bloom collection. The new collection Margherita, however, combines the two references, one of the queen and that of the flower, and starts from the sketches signed by the founder: rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces of the collection are made of gold, with precious and semiprecious stones, bezels and refined design details. But you don’t hope to have a whole bouquet.
