An electric shake with Yeprem

Published on September 15, 2019

The Lebanese Maison Yeprem presents the Electrified collection, inspired by the electric circuits ♦ ︎

An electrifying jewelry collection. It is the one presented by Yeprem at VicenzaOro. The Lebanese Maison which is celebrated all over the world and famous for its Thousand and One Nights diamond jewels, with the Electrified collection has chosen to propose modern shapes and combine white gold with pink gold. Of course with diamonds that add points of light to the pieces. Not only: the shape of the jewelry itself is, in a sense, electrifying. Acute angles and straight lines sometimes seem to allude to small lightning strikes. In short, a very modern jewelery set and inspired, explains the Maison, by electric circuits.

The Electrified collection is a small revolution in the style of Yeprem, which usually offers jewels with more rounded lines. The history of the Maison dates back to 1964, when Yeprem Chakardemian, Lebanese of Armenian origin, was inspired by a gold bracelet given by his mother. At 15, Yeprem already created jewelery pieces: the beginning of a story that continues with the second generation of the family.

Anello della collezione Eka Anniversario

The Eka Anniversary collection, launched for the 90th anniversary of the Vicenza company, is enriched with new variants ♦ ︎

A modern classic. With subtle changes Fope revisits one of his greatest successes to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the foundation. New models are added to those presented at VicenzaOro January, with a new diamond embedding and a more rounded shape of the washers, which offer a brighter and softer look to the Eka Anniversary line. A name that indicates, in fact, the special 90th anniversary. In short, technique and design together to renew the now famous patent of the Vicenza company, the mechanism called Flex’it, which promises flexibility and comfort.

At Baselworld the company presented a new logo, new colors and announced many new features for the following months. One of these consists, precisely, in the new versions of flexible bracelets entirely made of gold, rings (sometimes also in the Flex’it version), necklaces and earrings. All strictly made in Italy, indeed made in Vicenza. The Eka Anniversario pink, white or yellow gold sweater remains available in the three existing thicknesses and, together with the numerous stylistic variants, composes a versatile range for those who love playing with volumes and colors of jewels.

For Graff it is time of diamonds

Graff’s Threads collection is enriched with watch-bracelet with diamonds ♦ ︎

For Laurence Graff, it’s always time to do something exceptional. For example, you can watch what time it is and say: wow. The series of high watchmaking bracelets, great jewels that are unique pieces also able to indicate the passing of time, is enriched with a new, extraordinary timepiece. It is the Threads diamond watch, which is part of the collection of jewels designed like a lattice of gold set with apparently randomly arranged diamonds. In a perfectly rational chaos, there is a small pentagonal-shaped dial. But it’s almost a detail, because what stands out the most is the work of fine jewelry that surrounds the hour hands.

On the other hand, Mr. Graff is a shareholder of diamond mines in Africa and holds a controlling interest in the South African Diamond Corporation. In short, the founder, Laurence Graff, and his son Francois, who is now the Maison’s CEO, are closely related to the world of diamonds. The Threads watch bracelet, for example, uses 5.85 carats of different cut diamonds mounted in the small rods that make up the jewel. Which adds to the same collection of earrings, necklaces and bracelets, always composed in the same style. The movement of the watch is quartz: it is a unique piece and costs $ 140,000.

Messika in color with the Private Collection

The exceptional Private Collection by Messika fine jewelry also introduces colored diamonds ♦

She’s called Messika, but means diamonds. Valérie Messika has become in a few years the queen of the most loved gemstone in Paris. Her high jewelry collections are already legendary, like the recent Born to Be Wild, in which he combines extreme luxury with an informal, even country-style atmosphere.

Messika, schizzo preparatorio per l'anello Moi&Toi — Messika, schizzo preparatorio per l’anello Moi & Toi

But, for once, even Messika has moved to the other side of the Moon, the one with color. During the haute couture week in Paris he also paid tribute to the colored diamonds with different pieces in his Private Collection 2019. For example, with the Créoles M Rainbow earrings, made on 18-carat pink gold, with 16 colored diamonds of different cuts and colors, for a total of 6.018 carats, set on the edge of each earring. But there are also white diamonds, the trademark of Messika.

The collection also includes a Toi & Moi necklace with a pear-cut diamond on one side and an emerald-cut diamond on the other, as you can see from the preparation sketch. Messika has also added a Toi & Moi ring with two exceptional pear diamonds. They are jewels that are a real temptation. Like the Temptation necklace, with a magnificent intense radiant cut diamond in pink, balanced in the hollow of the choker in rose gold and white diamonds. An exceptional piece like the Desert Bloom ring, where another pear-shaped pink diamond stands out, surrounded by brilliant-cut and pear-cut diamonds: this is also a gem out of the ordinary, as often happens with Messika’s high-end jewelery .

The gold of Mattioli with 1To

Rings/Showroom/ORO

Orecchini Aruba in oro rosa e madreperla

The jewels of the Aruba collection by Mattioli, now also with mother of pearl, which are part of the 1To line ♦ ︎

It is known that Mattioli, has the historic punch 1TO. The punching is the goldsmith brand applied on a precious metal object to guarantee the sign and certify the manufacturer. In short, it is the official guarantee of quality E Mattioli on its jewels can affix the number 1 and the To, which stands for the city, Turin. In fact, since 1860, the Turin laboratory has specialized in the creation of goldsmith and jeweler, with artisans skilled in the processing of gold in full cycle: from the merger of the ingot, to the jewel.

For this reason Mattioli decided to call a series of gold jewelery with the name of 1To.

This line includes several collections, obviously always made with gold as the protagonist. One of these lines is called Aruba, a name that has nothing to do with the ancient goldsmith tradition, but evokes beaches and the sea of the Caribbean island. But a place that perhaps inspired the design of the Mattioli jewelry by Aruba, given that the round lines of the pink and burnished gold remind us of the atolls and waves of the ocean. Rudy Serra

The new hi-tech jewels

Wallace Chan, anello Onde. Diamanti e titanio

Not only gold and silver: this is why super-technological materials are increasingly used in jewelery ♦

Carbon fiber, titanium, nanoceramics, volcanic lava and even the rediscovery of aluminum: the use of new generation technology and materials in the world of jewelry is increasingly common. The reasons are different. A metal like titanium, for example, is durable and very light. Not only: the titanium can also take on different colors without having to glaze or plate it with some electroplating. On the other hand, it is very difficult to work: that’s why it is not easy to find a titanium jewel.

Suzanne Syz, bracciale Asparagus in titanio, oro, diamanti, ametiste

Titanium, in any case, is one of the materials that in recent years has become a symbol of research and innovation in jewelry. Masters like Wallace Chan, Suzanne Syz, or Maison like Giovanni Ferraris, or jewelery companies like Mattia Cielo from Vicenza, who after experimenting with titanium wires to enhance the flexibility of its products, have also focused on carbon. As well as another avant-garde designer, Fabio Salini: he also uses carbon fiber next to titanium.

Anello titanio, diamanti, zaffiri blu — Giovanni Ferraris, anello titanio, diamanti, zaffiri blu

Carbon also is used by the Austrian Maison Adler, which strongly believes in this ash gray material and has created an entire collection, called Eclipse, made up of microscopic woven carbon fibers, with a silky and slightly silver patina. The contrast of the dark background with colorless diamonds and white and pink gold give the jewelry an almost lunar appearance. The Swiss of Bogh-Art, on the other hand, use ultra-thin “sewn” titanium wires, that is compacted, with fiber optic beams at a precise temperature and pressure. The obtained layer is then cut to give shape to the wings and the petals of butterflies, dragonflies and flowers that make up rings and earrings. A way to make classic designs and frames more sparkling.

Mattia Cielo, bracciale Vulcano con fibra di carbonio

Another frontier of jewelry is the nanoceramic resin, the result of a mixture of water, butyl alcohol and the often methoxypropanol, it covers like a thin film rings, earrings and pendants from the Mistero collection by De Grisogono, with the advantage of making them unteachable. But it is also used by Roberto Demeglio, or by Vhernier, although in a different way. Finally, the technology can be used to work an ancient material like solidified volcanic lava, still not very widespread, but used by David Yurman, who transformed the debris of an eruption into pearls for a necklace with diamonds.

Orecchini Mistero di de Grisogono, con zaffiri rosa rivestiti di nanoceramica

Another ancient material, but rediscovered thanks to the technology that transforms it, is aluminum. Processed and melted with refined methods that allow it to be colored, even aluminum has turned into a precious metal. Light, resistant, very malleable, it was chosen for example by a young avant-garde designer such as Emmanuel Tarpin, but also experimentally by Vhernier for some necklaces from the Calla collection. And also a Maison of high jewelery like the German Hemmerle proposes jewels like the anodized aluminum earrings with cavities in which aquamarines are inserted. Federico Graglia

Iron and steel with platinum and diamonds? Yes, she can: Hedy Martinelli, coming from a tradition started by his maternal grandmother, brings in fine jewelery a breath of avant-garde with metallic fabrics that seem crushes armour of medieval knights in tourney and match them with diamonds paved of various sizes. Result? Spiral shaped earrings that dangle form iron strips, and, despite the material, have a light appearance. There is a bracelet composed of many, large and small, thin strands of tubogas steel, interspersed with thick circles in precious metals and diamonds, and the draped knit and diamonds cuff.

A new collection of high jewelery signed Chaumet: innovation and tradition for an exceptional result ♦ ︎

The difference between a dish prepared at home and that prepared by a great chef is also in the number of ingredients used, their arrangement and, of course, the ability to cook and present everything. In a sense, this is what happens in jewelery too. Jewels can be simple or the result of an elaborate, rich and imaginative design. You can consider, for example, this necklace that is part of the latest Les Ciels de Chaumet high jewelery collection, consisting of 43 pieces. The necklace is called Soleil de Feu.

And here is his description: white and pink gold necklace, with 4 oval cut mandarin garnets weighing 18.30, 4.00, 2.13 and 2.10 carats, 6 pear-shaped tangerine garnets weighing 2 , 91, 2.10, 1.66, 1.60, 1.30 and 0.63 carats, 5 yellow pear-shaped sapphires weighing 4.78, 1.87, 1.81, 1.81 and 1.12 carats of Ceylon, 5 yellow oval-cut sapphires weighing 3.46, 2.26, 1.89, 1.82 carats from Ceylon, 1 oval-cut yellow sapphire weighing 1.39 carats from Madagascar, a cushion-cut yellow sapphire of weight of 1.69 carats of Ceylon, a pear-shaped yellow sapphire weighing 0.92 carats from Madagascar, an orange-orange pink sapphire cut with a weight of 2.70 carats from Madagascar, 3 Padparadscha sapphires with a cushion cut weighing 2.24, 1.50 and 1.41 carats from Madagascar, a Padparadscha sapphire with a cushion cut weighing 1.44 carats from Ceylon, a Padparadscha oval cut Ceylon sapphire weighing 1.58 carats, a diamond D VVS2 shaped of pear weighing 1.51 carats, 4 pear-shaped D / E VVS diamonds weighing 0.54, 0.52, 0.52 and 0.40 ct, pear-shaped, oval cut and round sapphires yellows, oval and round red spinels, pear-shaped round mandarin garnets, briolette and orange round sapphires and pear-shaped diamonds, oval cut and brilliant cut.

There is no doubt, in short, that the difference between the usual jewelry and high jewelry is a lot. Furthermore, the collection is even more valuable if we consider the ability to blend classic themes of the Maison born in 1780, like the tiaras, with a more modern design. Without losing the advantages of the typical Chaumet workmanship, which manages to maintain an unexpected lightness even in the most elaborate jewels. The mix succeeded.

Tiara Soleil Glorieux in oro bianco e giallo, con un diamante Fancy Intense Yellow F con taglio cushion di circa 2,51 carati, 21 cristalli di roccia taglio cabochon e diamanti taglio brillante e diamanti gialli

Les Ciels de Chaumet is a collection divided into four parts: Les Caprices du Ciel (jewels inspired by the lightness of clouds), Les Couleurs du Ciel (between shining sun and moonbeams) deep), Les Fulgurances du Ciel (between stars and sunset ) and Les Habitants du Ciel (mixing Japanese and Chinese, taking to the waders or the motif of the swallows). The collection uses white diamonds combined with a wide variety of gems, such as yellow sapphires, emeralds, mandarin garnets, black opals from Australia, spinels. The Chaumet’s skies are a lot.

The Bliss Elixir

The Elisir collection by Bliss: white gold and diamonds for a long life ♦

Elixir, word derived from the Arabic al-iksīr “philosopher’s stone, elixir”. It is the name that the ancient alchemists gave to the substance that was supposed to transform base metals into gold, but also to liqueur drinks with the magical virtue of prolonging life. In short, who wouldn’t want to have an elixir available? Bliss, a brand of the Damiani group, answers this question with the collection called, precisely, Elixir.

However, more than a magic drink, the jewels in the Elisir collection resemble flowers, perhaps those that could be useful to an alchemist. The diamonds are mounted in a setting in 18-karat white gold and include a ring, miniature ear-rings, a necklace and ups and downs necklace, that is adjustable. There is also an earlier version of the collection that uses small rubies, emeralds or sapphires matched with diamonds. Prices: the ring in gold and diamonds costs around 600 euros, earrings 650 euros. In spite of the name, in any case, the Elisir collection is inspired by the 1920s. Margherita Donato

The Drops collection by Al Coro, inspired by the sea of Capri and its sprays ♦ ︎

The drops are a prerogative of the rain, but also of the waves of the sea. The former are usually not particularly pleasant. The latter, on the other hand, are pleasant as long as they are surrounded by wonderful nature such as that of the island of Capri, in the Mediterranean. The new collection of the Maison Al Coro is inspired by this scenario of blue sea, white rocks, and waves that break in a thousand drops.

Based in Germany, but founded by an Italian jeweler, Al Coro offers classic but modern jewelery. The Drops collection, for example, reproduces the shape of the drop using pink gold and white gold, along with thin paved white or champagne diamonds. Bracelets, rings, necklaces with pendant all have a soft shape, which often uses the silhouette of the drop or adds small drops that sprout here and there, as if they were the spray of the sea.

The Calla bracelets by Vhernier, the newcomers to the Maison’s most classic collection ♦

They are called Calla, because the shape of jewels resembles that of the delicate flower with the petals forming an elongated bell. But the Calla collection by Vhernier, even though it is 20 years old, has not withered. This is demonstrated by the new burst of jewels that expand the line of the Maison with the laboratory in Valenza and the heart in Milan. After last year’s nano-ceramic and titanium necklaces, here are the Calla bracelets, which look like necklaces in all respects, but on a smaller scale.

The Maison emphasizes how the creative effort was aimed at maintaining the classic design of the necklaces, the classic pieces of the collection, but granting a portability that allows the Calla to be put on the wrist. The bracelet is proposed in the classic Vhernier rose or white gold, but in two different variants: mirror-polished or brushed, less usual finish, but also in titanium. Small diamonds are set in metal in a sort of pavé or mark the outline of the different elements. Note: the closure is invisible, but there is: the bracelet opens easily.

Ninotchka’s discreet charm

The mysterious, exclusive, surprising jewels of the Maison Ninotchka. From Russia with love ♦ ︎

They are rather mysterious. The founders of the Maison Ninotchka work in Moscow for an audience of passionate collectors. Yevgeny Glagolev and Timur Ibragimov, founders and designers, work for those who do not want a simple jewel, but a small work of art. Unique pieces are able to excite and also to intrigue. Unlike other colleagues in jewelry, they avoid advertising, clamor and pomp. Yet the jewels they make are precious and surprising.

There is little information about them: both love historical jewels, so much so that they have used some pieces of the past to make them up to date in a modern way. They also love enhancing the gems found in the mines of great Russia, such as the Siberian amethysts, the Ural demantoids, the Popigai’s mine diamonds in eastern Siberia, where the largest diamond field on Earth is located: a huge large hole 100 kilometers, created by an asteroid precipitated 35 million years ago. But this is irrelevant to their refined work, which should be appreciated for the next 35 million years.

By the way: the name Ninotchka was chosen in honor of the 1939 film by director Ernst Lubitsch and starring Greta Garbo.

New jewels from Gucci’s GG Running collection: earrings and rings. These are added to the Gucci rings that can be worn as a wedding ring ♦ ︎

Who runs keeps himself young (if he doesn’t exaggerate). In any case, it makes movement. So, don’t be surprised if Gucci’s GG Running collection renews itself at quick time. For 2019, in fact, the Florentine Maison, that is part of the French group Kering, presented new pieces made in yellow gold or 18 karat white gold and diamonds.

At the center of the jewels there is always the GG logo, inspired by an archival drawing from the 1970s.

The logo is highlighted both in the new hoop earrings and in the new proposal of rings with two crossed design bands, all embellished with small diamonds. Two pairs of yellow gold hoop earrings feature the GG logo, while a pair of white gold hoop earrings is entirely set with diamonds. The three very thin rings have a diamond pattern. The jewels are added to the other jewels of the collection, which includes rings that can be combined or used also as wedding rings. Giulia Netrese

An anaconda can be very convincing and not only if you are in the middle of the Amazon forest. The largest snake in the world can crawl up on the stage of the Couture Show Awards, in Las Vegas. And the skin of the reptile, transformed however in jewel, he convinced everyone. A bracelet from the Anaconda collection by Vendorafa, in fact, received the coveted award for the Editor’s Choice category. A great satisfaction for the company born in Valenza almost 70 years ago.

Among the pieces of the Ananconda collection, to convince the Las Vegas jury was an 18 carat yellow gold bracelet with black diamonds.

But the collection, which incorporates the geometric pattern of the scales of the reptile, also includes pieces in satin and polished gold with white diamonds.

Not just chocolate colored diamond, here are the colorful jewels of Le Vian ♦ ︎

From chocolate to spices. Or better, from chocolate diamonds to gems with many colors. Le Vian, at the Jck in Las Vegas, has decided to bring not only the jewels for which this USA-based fashion house is famous, namely those with chocolate diamonds (the company has even registered the Chocolate Diamonds brand), but also many rings (especially) that use stones like garnets, sapphires, emeralds. And not only. Alongside the classic rings with many gems, he has also decided to show unique pieces of the animalier genus.

Read also: Le Vian, carat at the table

Not everyone knows that Le Vian is one of the oldest jewelery companies in the world. The family, of Persian origin, has a history in jewelry dating back as far as 1400. In 1746, Nadir Shah, one of the most powerful rulers of Persia, chose a Le Vian to safeguard the collection of jewelry he had accumulated, including the famous diamond Kooh-i-Noor, which is now pinned on the crown of Queen Elizabeth. In short, of experience in jewelry, Le Vian has a lot of it and boasts about 100,000 original drawings in its archive.

Spilla di Le Vian in oro giallo, zaffiri, smeraldi, diamanti

The strategy of Le Vian is also worth mentioning: it buys a type of gem very available on the market during the peak of production in a particular mine, that is when it still has a relatively low price. Keep the stones, which it then use when the mine runs out and the price of the gems goes up, but at that point Le Vian can offer the jewels at a lower price, more democratic. In addition, the company is committed to donating 10% of its earnings to charity. An idea that everyone likes, like chocolate.

At the Couture in Las Vegas the diamonds of Canadamark in 4×4 version directed by Muse ♦ ︎

The Couture in Las Vegas organized between the Wynn and the Encore Resort is always an event full of news. One of these, in the 2019 edition, is represented by the series of jewels created by four leading designers for the Canadian Canadamark, a mining company engaged in diamond mining in Canada (responsibly, they stress).

The four designers engaged by Canadamark through the Muse agency are Mark Davis, Nikos Koulis, Silvia Furmanovich and Vram. Each designer made four Canadamark diamond jewels and for this reason, the series was called 4×4.

Nikos Koulis, a Greek designer who creatively uses the Art Deco style and unusual geometric shapes, has chosen to expand his famous Oui collection, obviously with Canadamark diamonds. Sylvia Furmanovich, Brazilian designer was inspired by a Japanese maple leaf represented on a kimono from the Meiji period. Vram Minassian used diamonds with yellow gold to create jewelry with inusual curved shapes. Mark Davis combined Bakelite with diamonds to create pieces like a vintage air bracelet.

Allegra 25, de Grisogono’s earrings

Allegra 25 earrings by de Grisogono: latest arrival of the endless series of long-lived collection ♦

Allegra, and not alone. De Grisogono’s woman is 25 years old (the age of the Maison) and is increasingly Allegra, the name of the collection that multiplies like the editions of Big Brother: the formula is the same, but the protagonists alternate. If, for example, in 2018 de Grisogono had unveiled the Allegra 25 watch, today it adds earrings that reflect the style of that watch-jewel-bracelet.

The appearance of Allegra 25 consists of a braided gold ribbon, an infinite circle that is connected to vertical rings. The earrings are offered in rose or white gold with diamonds or in white gold with the emblematic duo of white and black diamonds.

Orecchini in versione oro bianco e diamanti

Allegra 25 coexists with the other versions: the collection was presented in 2003, in the large size, with nine intertwined gold threads. In 2015 Allegra expanded with a medium version, with seven wires. And last year also the small one was added, with five-wire gold. Now it’s time for the Allegra 25 variant.

Bliss’s amazing Dew

Bliss, particolare della speciale incassatura della collezione Rugiada

Rugiada collection by Bliss: an innovative setting makes jewels more sparkling and the price low ♦ ︎

What effect does dew have in the morning? Simple, it shines on the lawns. They are not precious stones, but drops of simple water to make the stems of grass sparkle. And it is from this consideration that Bliss (brand of the Damiani group) conceived the Rugiada collection. No, they are not jewels covered with drops of water. Instead, it is a trick designed to make jewels brighter.

The idea of the Rugiada collection is to use a special setting that reflects the light given off by the small diamond in the center. The effect is that of a diamond surrounded by other small stones. In reality the crown is of simple white gold, but worked with many spikes that become reflective surfaces. A design that allows rings, earrings and pendants to shine as if they were composed of many diamonds or a larger stone, but to keep a lower price. It starts from 199 euros to go up to 249 for a solitary and 500 euros for the largest stone. In short, being inspired by nature is a brilliant idea.

The new earrings by Nadia Morgenthaler, a hymn to the goldsmith ability and creativity ♦ ︎

Nadia Morgenthaler is one of the most popular designers. And rightly so. She has succeeded in building her world in the world of jewelry. An eco-environment that provides, as she describes herself, a colorful universe and an atmosphere at the same time 1900, maharajah, noble and real. We add: there is also a pinch of the Victorian era. This mix of tomorrow and yesterday, of the future and the past, is mixed in the ability to build jewels that offer the feeling of being disconnected from fashions and momentary passions. From Geneva, where she lives and works, Nadia Morgenthaler has built a bridge that connects her with the great world stage of fine jewelry. Also because her creations always run on the thread stretched between aesthetics and engineering ability.

At GemGèneve, for example, Nadia Morgenthaler presented, among other things, a pair of standing ovation earrings, with 170 diamonds, two small square diamonds of 5.14 carats and two large 11.63 carat diamonds, 46 natural pearls set in gold and silver. Another piece that will earn other admirers.

Damiani sells diamonds

Published on May 25, 2019

Now Damiani, through the Calderoni brand, also sells diamonds as a form of investment. Repurchase guaranteed for the most expensive gems ♦ ︎

Not only jewels: Damiani expands its offer to diamonds. Stones to buy as an investment. Have you already heard of it? In Italy, and not only, the judiciary has accused of fraud banks and companies that have sold diamonds as a form of investment. So, why does Damiani take the field, even if with the Calderoni Diamonds brand, a company completely controlled by the group of Valenza ?

The objective, the official explanation states, is to become the reference point for consumers who approach this market and to accompany customers throughout the selection, purchase and eventual resale of the diamond, with transparency and offering the highest quality in service.

The misadventures of those who bought diamonds over the past few years thinking of securing a safe asset that cannot lose value are not canceled. “Calderoni is available to assist, as a consultant, individuals and banks affected by the recent events, also evaluating the purchase of their diamonds and offering to mount them for them on the jewels of the brand.”

To protect the buyer, each Calderoni natural diamond is stored in the special CertiCard blister, excellence in the field of security and anti-counterfeiting: the security seal is unalterable, the diamond cannot be replaced and the identification data cannot be changed.

Furthermore, Calderoni guarantees the quality of its diamonds not only by accompanying them with an official certificate of the most important international gemological laboratories, but also by engraving the number of the relative certificate on the stone: these are laser incisions visible only with a strong magnification. Not only: to further protect the consumer, Calderoni Diamonds offers a free insurance policy.

Damiani, Minou, anello solitario in oro bianco. Prezzo: a partire da 1490 euro

The point is, however, that of the liquidity of the diamond. In essence, once purchased can it be resold? Regarding this, Calderoni will periodically publish the list of its diamonds, determined on the basis of the Rapaport Price List (international reference used by the experts to establish the prices of the diamond in all the main markets) in order to guarantee the best transparency of purchase.

The Calderoni offer will range from natural diamonds of small caliber with prices starting from around 100 euros, destined to become gifts on special occasions such as baptisms, graduations and the like, up to larger stones to be purchased as a gift. The latter will be accompanied by some exclusive accessory services, such as the security of being able to liquidate the asset. In essence: a market for the most expensive stones will be assured, with price and conditions to be determined.

Finally, Damiani-Calderoni Diamonds guarantees the ethical value, adhering to the principles of the Kimberley Process, which make the traceability of diamonds transparent and confirm that they have not contributed to child exploitation or to finance wars.

The Calderoni Diamonds project has just begun but has already aroused considerable interest and received the adhesion of some hundreds of the best Italian jewelers. The Damiani Group’s goal is to become the absolute leader in the segment of the sale of loose diamonds to the public. Federico Graglia
