The divine jewels of Alighieri

Published on January 4, 2021

The jewels of Alighieri, a London Maison inspired by the greatest medieval Italian poet, 700 years after Dante’s death ♦ ︎

In the middle of the journey of our life, I found myself in a dark forest, that the straight way was lost …

Poem by Dante Alighieri, the greatest and most famous Italian poet, author of the Divine Comedy. And of several collections of jewels. Did not you know? Although the jewels were not designed by him at the end of the thirteenth century, but by Rosh Mahtani, who graduated in Oxford in French and Italian and is passionate about the work of the medieval author. So much so that she decided to call Alighieri her jewelry Maison, based in London,

Her 24ct gold-plated bronze or silver jewelry is already on sale on portals like MatchesFashion.com, Net-a-Porter and Farfetch.

Not only did Rosh Mahtani called Alighieri his brand, but each piece corresponds to one of the hundred verses of the poet. His efforts were rewarded: he started in 2017 after working as an au pair, for stylists or in visual merchandising. But after the first order of 50 pieces, immediately sold, the success has been increasing. Also thanks to unreachable prices: from about 120 pounds to 1600. His jewels are inspired by the father of the Italian language, but they are all handcrafted in London. How would also like Dante. Giulia Netrese

Beatrice rhymes with pearls

Pearls dedicated to Beatrice, the muse of Dante, in the Mayumi collection ♦
Beatrice, a character who has become eternal thanks to Dante. The greatest Italian poet, was in love with her, unattainable (it seems that Beatrice was married to the rich Folco Portinari), and placed her in Paradise, where she guides Dante in his literary visit to the celestial spheres. Traditionally, perhaps also because of its ethereal distance, Beatrice has been portrayed by painters as a girl of white complexion, with delicate and pearly features. And that’s why Mayumi, a Veronese brand specialized in pearl jewelry, has dedicated a new collection white gold, diamonds and Akoya pearls to Beatrice. The collection includes the classic types of jewels with white pearls: one-row necklaces with a small pendant, rings with a pearl or in a contrarié version with two spheres, earrings. All very traditional, regular, reassuring. For those who do not want to risk wrong choices: the pearl is a classic, like the Divine Comedy. Lavinia Andorno

Poem to lightness with Mini Rosa

Mini Rosa, the jewelery made in Milan for the sake of lightness ♦

Jewelry for smiles, designed for girls who are tough and unstoppable as their creator. Because Mini Rosa, the small stylized figure featuring the same brand drawn by Rosa Batosti Rossignol, is the alter ego of a super-mother with four children, who for 20 years has been the manager of human resources in large companies and has received the honorary title of lieutenant of the French Army, for deserved in her work. Parisian adoption, but Italian in the spirit has moved the culture of his country of origin and his passion for calligraphy in three jewelery lines: the first takes its name from the poet Dante and is in ebony, gold and diamonds, The second one celebrates Petrarch with mother-of-pearl, gold and diamonds, while the third literally reproduces Latin pronouns and verses on precious metals. So, next to the collier from my bases to a thousand, that is to give me a thousand kisses, from the most famous poem of Catullo, 9 carat pink gold and brown diamonds, there is the silver bracelet Amor vince omnia. And again, the necklace with the word quid pluris, where that extra something is the pink sapphire pendant. Or perhaps irony, a fundamental counterweight to the difficulties of life. With this certainty, Rosa Rossignol has created another collection with lightness: in the Mia bracelets, rings and earrings have the slight shape of a butterfly. All unique pieces created in a goldsmith workshop in Milan.
