The journey of Suzanne Syz

//





The new jewels of the artist-designer Suzanne Syz: fantasy, irony and a bit of nostalgia ♦ ︎

A journey through time with the art of a Swiss designer who is truly different from the others. Although his specialty is to propose new techniques and surprising shapes, his journey through time is turned backwards, to the fifties, sixties, eighties. In short, new forms to wink at the recent past, with a little ‘nostalgia.

As in the All Tired Up rings, which have the shape of tires. Almost a provocation if you think that they are the result of a refined jewelry technique.

Anelli All Tired Up, titanio e diamanti
Anelli All Tired Up, titanio e diamanti

The rings are made of titanium (but they are also available in gold or golden titanium), a difficult metal to work, which is favored material by Suzanne Syz. The traces of snow between the cracks in the tire are small diamonds. The Arctic Ice ring, in silver and enamel, instead uses ceramic to remember the ice of the North Pole, with a paraiba tourmaline that looks like a small iceberg. Another feature of the designer is the good dose of irony that she uses for her jewelry. An example is the large pair of earrings with the tap-shaped clip: there are not missed hot and cold writing. Also in this case, the idea of the drops of water that come down are paraiba tourmalines, next to small diamonds. Giulia Netrese

Marie Mas also swing also the diamonds

//

In the new collection, the kinetic jewels of Marie Mas now also move the diamonds ♦ ︎

Jewels are living objects, which become part of the wearer. But those of the designer Marie Cabirou are even more alive. They move, in fact. The Maison Marie Mas has just launched the reinterpretation of the Swinging Stones collection. And after the color stones debut now the kinetic jewels move the diamonds. The silhouette of stones mounted on reversible frames remains, but includes diamonds juxtaposed to tourmalines. The collection is inspired by biomimétisme, the mysteries of the underwater world and the elements in nature.

They are unique pieces, made with ingenious patented mechanisms: 13 pieces (six rings and six earrings) set in 18-carat rose gold.

“I’m looking for movement, poetry in the complexity of the mechanism, and I love to bring a touch of magic to my jewels, blend it with a playful touch My jewels come to life when they are worn and that’s why I want to take you on a delightful trip,” he says Marie. “I started playing with the idea of using diamonds in my design for a while and I was eternally drawn to the timeless beauty and elegance of these stones.” The new line of jewelry is a bit detached from the pastel-colored jewels in shades of pink and blue.

Eight Alessa’s engagement rings

Eight engagement rings with diamonds by laboratory: the choice of Alessa ♦ ︎

Diamonds created in the laboratory are becoming increasingly popular. Not so much for the price, which is lower than natural diamonds, but not too much. Synthetic diamonds, now almost indistinguishable from those extracted from the earth by the eye also for the most expert gemologists, boast an ethical motivation: they avoid ground digging, the use of miners in difficult conditions, complicated post-extraction work. It is no coincidence that even the diamond colossus De Beers has announced its entry into the artificial diamond market. And it is no coincidence that the small Maison Alessa Jewelry has chosen The Diamond Foundry, an American company that produces synthetic diamonds and has among its shareholders Leonardo DiCaprio, to create a line of eight engagement rings.

A choice, explained as the result of a common passion for sustainability and ethical production.

Anello in oro rosa con due diamanti per oltre 2 carati
Anello in oro rosa con due diamanti per oltre 2 carati

Alessa’s engagement rings are based on the typical geometries of the brand’s style: for example, with brilliant cut diamonds or pear that have two trilliant cut stones at their side. Surprisingly, these engagement rings are inspired by the colors of the rainbow and Greek mythology. Each piece, eight in all, indicates both a particular nuance and the powers of a specific Greek goddess. For example, red represents passion, and green is hope, violet is spiritual realization.

Crivelli Outstanding

Jewels of pure diamonds by Crivelli: they are the Outstanding collection ♦ ︎

Things happen that sometimes push to get up when you are sitting down. Amazement, enthusiasm, surprise: these are the reactions that trigger the legs and, together, cause applause. All these reactions are often caused by something outstanding. Which means, in fact, remarkable, out of the ordinary.

It is no coincidence that Crivelli, Maison di Valenza specializing in fine jewelery, has called Outstanding a line of jewelry.

Crivelli, collier di diamanti
Crivelli, collier di diamanti

A special feature of this collection is the use of large, shimmering, precious white diamonds. The Maison does not use white diamonds only in this collection, but in the Outstanding line the stones are the undisputed queens and make the slight white gold frame disappear. The stones used are all of high quality and of considerable weight. The marquise, round, baguette, oval or pear cuts combine to form pieces of the highest aesthetic value (and not only). Jewels to be defined as outstandig, in fact.

The feline shadows of Magerit

//




The Shadow collection by Magerit: a ferocious puma of gold and diamonds turning in rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings ♦ ︎

If you go to the parts of Madrid, be careful. In fact, in the area, dangerous felines wander about, ready to take a leap in the throats of the travelers. Or they can pounce on a wrist and even settle for one of their fingers. But you must not be afraid: the cats are those of the collections of Magerit, a small, but hardworking and above all fanciful Spanish Maison. 15 years after the launch of the Puma collection, one of Magerit’s most successful lines, the company’s design team has focused on felines.

The result is the Shadow collection, which offers new versions of jewels compared to the Puma collection.

Magerit, anello in oro giallo, diamanti, onice

The style reminiscent of Magerit’s Art Nouveau becomes aggressive with the Shadow collection, with bold geometric shapes, rhodium-plated yellow or white gold, diamonds and onyx. But above all, with the usual sculptural skill in detecting the forms of the feline, which recurs in all the jewels with boldness and ferocity. It is worthwhile to face these beasts.

The Flora of Leo Pizzo

New Leo Pizzo’s flowers in the Flora collection: a tribute to nature and woman ♦ ︎

Flowers in a house should never be missing: fresh, fragrant, colorful. But they must not miss even in the repertoire of a jeweler. And it is well knew by Leo Pizzo, master of Valenza who is one of the names of the great Italian jewelry. Years ago, in fact, Leo Pizzo proposed a series of jewels centered on the shape of the flower.

Now Leo Pizzo does an encore with the Flora collection, a tribute to nature and, naturally, to women.

Anelli della collezione Flora
Anelli della collezione Flora

The flowers in this collection respect the style of the Maison, but are different from those proposed three years ago. They are more delicate, with three petals. Flowers bloom on rings, bracelets and necklaces with diamonds and pink or blue sapphires. Precious stones are used to give that extra touch that makes the jewelry more in tune with the name of the collection. The pavé on the surface of the petals, in fact, is used to recreate that nuance that distinguishes the color of the petals in the natural world: a little touch of virtuosity. Giulia Netrese

The colorful Sutra butterflies

Butterflies with diamonds and colored stones by Sutra, symbol, memory, nature ♦ ︎

According to historians, the first butterflies depicted by man date back to the frescoes of 3,500 years ago in ancient Egypt. In short, butterflies have become a subject for art since the human race began its journey. A sign that colorful-winged insects have never lost their charm. So much so that, besides becoming subjects for paintings and sculptures, they were often transformed into jewels. Necklaces, earrings, pendants and rings in the shape of a butterfly, sooner or later, have attracted the attention of all the great Maison of jewelry.

Sutra proposes this classic theme with the Butterfly collection.

Sutra, Butterfly collection

As is the style of the jewelery brand founded by Arpita and Divyanshu Navlakha, the Sutra butterfly rivals the most colorful butterflies. Butterflies are also a memory of Arpita’s youth in Mumbai. Diamonds are set together with emeralds, sapphires, aquamarines or tourmalines in a light design like the wings of real butterflies. In some cases, as in earrings, butterflies are divided into two: each wing on one ear. Or both wings are placed on a frame of white or pink gold.

Harry Winston’s Candy

The most precious candies in the world: those of the Harry Winston Candy collection ♦ ︎

The candies are good, although sometimes they can have a certain price. For example, the candies signed by Harry Winston will appeal to all women, although not all women will be able to taste them or, better, wear them. The American Maison has presented an extraordinary series of cocktail rings entitled Winston Candy.

The collection offers central gems in bright colors, combined with diamonds and bright stones in matching colors.

Harry Winston, anello con tormalina verde e diamanti

In short, everything revolves around these sweets, which are gems selected for their beauty and quality, above average: precious mandarin garnets, rare tourmalines, up to pastel sapphires and lively spinels have been used as the colors of a palette to make the collection.
There is also a historical reference, since the collection was conceived starting from a series of archival drafts from the Fifties and Sixties, the period of maximum splendor of the Maison, with the combination and combinations of colored stones from various shapes with round brilliants. Although, in fact, Harry Winston was famous especially for diamonds, he was also known as “King of Diamonds”. But, probably, the candies were never him missing.

The new moon by Marco Dal Maso

///





New pieces from the Amaia collection by Marco Dal Maso: the moon is transformed into jewels ♦ ︎

In case you do not know it, Amaia is one of the ten most popular female names of the Maori language, the indigenous population of New Zealand. But it is also the name of the first collection dedicated to the woman of Marco Dal Maso, a designer who equally loves the world of jewelry and the culture of the country in the southern hemisphere. So much so that in New Zealand Dal Maso has lived for a long time, learning the customs, traditions and legends of the indigenous population. The name Amaia in the Maori language, for example, describes the lunar rainbow that on certain clear nights you can glimpse around the moon.

After a first version of the Amaia jewelry line, here is a new proposal from the Venetian jeweler.

Marco Dal Maso, anello della collezione Amaia

The jewels are made of 18 carat yellow gold, with champagne diamonds and enriched with green and yellow corundums. The style takes up the concept of concentric circles, with engraved logos and rocky texture, which refers to the iridescent rainbow that forms around the terrestrial satellite due to atmospheric humidity. As the jewelry of Marco Dal Maso dedicated to man, even those for the female world have a strong character, almost tribal, and probably can also please the custodians of the ancient Maori traditions. Although they are distributed by luxury stores, such as Luisaviaroma and Neiman Marcus.

Al Coro continues the Serenata

/





New rings for the classic Serenata collection of the German brand of Italian origin Al Coro ♦ ︎

Al Coro, a brand with an Italian name, a Venetian heart and a German mind. In short, a perfect product of the world without borders. Founded half a century ago by an Italian goldsmith transferred to Germany, Giuliano Corolli, Al Coro maintains a link with Italy, even if it is in fact a completely German brand. Of Italian, however, it has a certain style very similar to that of the Vicenza district, where it originated. And are Italians also the names of the collections. One of those oldest in the catalog, for example, is called Serenata.

Al Coro has now added new rings to the long series of jewels in this collection.

Al Coro, anello in oro bianco con pavé di diamanti

The leitmotif of the Serenata collection is the link between two distinct elements, which alludes to the union of the couple. The white or pink gold, together with small white or black diamonds, in some cases used in pavé, are the materials used for these classic classical jewelery products, with a price that does not exceed € 5,500 for rings in gold and pavé diamonds. In short, the already extensive collection is still enriched. But the Al Coro serenade will probably continue. Giulia Netrese

Damiani returns to the Belle Époque

New bracelets from the Belle Époque collection by Damiani: the three gold colors plus diamonds, rubies or sapphires ♦ ︎

The Belle Époque continues. Not the historical one, of course, which includes the years between the end of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, but the one that gives its name to the Damiani jewelry collection. An ongoing line that is now renewed. After the cut-out necklace proposed a couple of years ago, Damiani now adds a series of rigid bracelets finished with a heart or a cross.

The bracelets are offered in the three colors of gold, white, pink or yellow. Inside the embedding are small diamonds, or rubies or sapphires.

According to Damiani, the alternation of diamonds and colored stones recalls the frames of the films of the past, in homage to the Belle Époque. Of the collection, however, remain in the catalog rings, necklaces and earrings, always with the same style and the same alternation between diamonds and colored stones. Lavinia Andorno

The magic of Chopard

//




By a magic in the setting technique, it’s born a high-jewelry collection Magical Setting by Chopard ♦

Inventing something new is difficult, but good designers often succeed. Even more difficult, however, is to innovate the technique, especially if the one in use has been tested for decades or even centuries. It seems, however, that Chopard was able to invent something new in the goldsmith’s technique. A spell defines her as Caroline Scheufele, Chopard’s co-president and artistic director. In fact, the innovative embedding technique, developed thanks to the work of Chopard master craftsmen, has been called Magical Setting.

Caroline Scheufele wanted to make the light of the gems more intense, enhancing the presence and personality of the jewel by making the embedding disappear.

Anelli della collezione Magical Setting di Chopard
Anelli della collezione Magical Setting di Chopard

It was not easy, it seems, because the technique of setting stones is an immutable tradition. Until now. At the end of many efforts, however, here is Magical Setting, which immediately turns into a collection of fine jewelry. In fact the stones seem to be free from the bond of the metal, which is just mentioned. The effect is remarkable. The jewels use diamonds, or diamonds with blue sapphires from Sri Lanka, rubies from Mozambique or emeralds from Colombia. The cluster revolves around a single important stone completely surrounded by gems of unusual size, which give the classic design an unexpected touch of bold modernity. And as for gold, Chopard emphasizes the selection of stones not only for quality, but also for the socially sustainable origin. It is not a minor detail. Giulia Netrese

A new sun rises for Piaget

///





A new chapter in fine jewelry with the second part of Sun Sunlight Escape collection by Piaget ♦

Beauty — be not caused — It Is
Chase it, and it ceases
Chase it not, and it abides
Emily Dickinson

You can borrow Emily’s words to comment on Piaget’s new not-new collection of fine jewelry. New because it offers jewelry never seen, not new because it returns to the theme of Sunlight Escape, proposed last year. As Emily Dickinson said: chase it not, and it abides.
The theme around which the Sunlight Escape II is built is described as a “frozen, snowy and mysterious landscape, illuminated by the glistening sun of a winter sky, always inspired by the bold beauty of nature in its most fascinating”.

The poetry of the description turns into 17 new jewels distributed over three chapters: Warming Lights, Exalting Sights and Dancing Nights.

Needless to say, to make pieces of this kind, the Maison de Genève has appealed to all the skills of its artisans, as well as to the creativity of the designers.

Sun White Watch
Piaget, Sun White Watch

Warming Lights
Piaget is not just jewelry, but also watches. And also watches-jewelry. And here is Sun White watch, a tribute to the winter sun. As the sun’s rays illuminate the icy plains, so the precious rays of 12 white diamonds in the shape of kites and 81 brilliant-cut diamonds are mixed with hand-decorated baguettes in white gold, radiating from a central mother-of-pearl dial. A piece that if not for sale would go in a museum dedicated to the most extraordinary jewels.
Bracciale Frosted Star
Bracciale Frosted Star

Exalting Sights
In this line is Frosted Star, a rigid bracelet inspired by the symmetrical compositions of snowflakes and their infinite iterations. The cuff features a 5.12 carat cushion cut Madagascar sapphire, surrounded by eight squared black opals. Diamonds in four different cuts radiate further before the engraver shows their historic Piaget know-how in a new frost version of the Palace Décor signature.
Also in this line and always in honor of pure snow, there is an elegant sautoir of white opals, pearls of the southern sea and white diamonds, on white gold. The necklace combines the iridescence of opals, the brilliance of pearls and the sparkle of diamonds to achieve a harmonious effect, with a large crystal of snow in the center.
Sautoir com opali bianchi, perle, diamanti

Dancing Nights
It’s a tribute to the Northern Lights, one of the most extraordinary shows of nature. And in this context, Night Illusion: necklace, earrings, earrings and rings inspired by the changing sky of the extreme North of the world. The bright, bright greens of the Aurora and the blue of the night become jewels thanks to the best emeralds, Paraiba tourmalines and diamonds.

Night Illusion, la collana con smeraldi e tormaline, su oro e diamanti

The asymmetrical necklace, an expression of the Maison’s creativity, revolves around a central 10.76-carat colombian emerald, with an intense green color and an exceptional saturation. Around the stone, a swirl of marquise cut emeralds and Paraiba tourmaline always marquise cut. Note: the extraction of these crystals is extremely difficult and this aspect makes the jewel even more precious. Earrings and a singular ear-cuff recall the wavy design in what are “exemplary demonstrations of Piaget’s bold and contemporary work”. The Night Illusion line also includes a ring with a 5.95 carat cushion-shaped Colombian emerald, surrounded by waves of emeralds and diamonds. Better than an aurora borealis.

As in the first series of Sunlight Escape, Piaget continues his creative collaboration with the inlay artist Rose Saneuil. The result is Green Aurora an exceptional bracelet with a delicately varied palette that reflects the extraordinary shades of the Northern Lights. The bracelet is made of tiny straw shards, Sycamore and Common Hornbeam: a very refined technique is required to bend the inlay around the contours of the cuff. At the center of the radiant design are an indigo tourmaline of over 14 carats, a rare and beautiful crystal from Namibia. Finally, a pair of inlaid earrings of similar design with shards of diamonds similar to ice. The sun has risen again.

The Polki diamonds by Sally Agarwal

//





The Polki diamonds by Sally Agarwal have roots in the Moghul empire and a minimalist design.

Once, the diamonds in India were considered precious stones to be associated with the divine elements. And they were not cut with many faces as is done now in the West: the Polki diamonds, almost rough, have spread during the Mughal Empire lasted from 1526 to 1707 over much of India. But tradition and their beauty is still alive thanks to the London-based designer Sally Agarwal. After studying jewelry design in the big Asian country, Sally Agarwal opened a studio in London and has revived the forms used for traditional ceremonies in the royal courts. We must say that the result is unique and has its price: a pair of dangling earrings rose gold cost about $ 4,800, a necklace comes to $ 29,000 and a bracelet with three wires to 20,000.

Collana composta da cinque fili di diamanti Polki. Ogni filo è  composto da 57 diamanti incastonati in oro 18 carati
Collana composta da cinque fili di diamanti Polki. Ogni filo è composto da 57 diamanti incastonati in oro 18 carati

On the other hand, notes Sally, diamonds as well as being combined with Hindu deities were also associated with his fortune, so that the properties of these stones were linked to membership of a caste: the gray or blacks were for the lower classes, while a maharaja could own diamonds of every color. And these things Sally Agarwal she knows, because that his relatives in India are the diamond merchants. Polki diamonds are usually quite large and having slight natural imperfections, which indicates the quality and also improves their character. “To enhance the unique characteristics of a Polki, as their eye-catching white glow that, for me, evokes moonlight, I designed a minimalist, frames in 18 carat yellow gold for my jewelry,” is the description that makes the designer of his work.

Harry Winston adds colored stones to his classic Loop collection ♦

Harry Winston is a luxury jewelry brand, specializing particularly in diamond jewelery, often large and of excellent quality. But not only, as evidenced by the addition of new pieces in its classic Loop collection. The diamonds, however, do not disappear: in this case they are complement of pink sapphires, aquamarine, yellow sapphires and black spinels, stones that make rings, earrings or pendants.

Diamonds and colored stones form jewels with the appearance of four-petal flowers, while in the diamond-only version they also form drops.

It is the original appearance of the jewels of the Loop collection, designed to be wearable throughout the day. The stones are mounted on platinum, which makes the jewels even more precious. Diamonds, on the other hand, have a brilliant, round cut. Alessia Mongrando

The unstoppable spread of synthetic diamonds. It will lower the value of your natural diamonds? According to this analysis … ♦ ︎

Will the spread of synthetic diamonds compromise the value of natural diamonds? Your jewels bought years ago, with stones extracted from the earth, will have less value, since diamonds and synthetic colored gems will be practically indistinguishable from the real ones?
These are legitimate questions, now relaunched by Paul Zimnisky, an independent analyst and consultant for the diamond industry.

Forecasts on diamonds

According to Zimnisky’s idea, in the next few years the sale of synthetic diamonds will multiply. Already now diamonds of better quality are produced even in colors such as pink and blue. Diamond syntetic production for the jewelry market exceeds 1.5 million carats of diamonds a year. And the prices of quality synthetic diamonds sold for jewelry have decreased by 30-40% over the last two years. It’s a the trend set to continue: last year the diamond giant De Beers announced the entry into the market of synthetic diamonds. And estimates indicate that De Beers’ synthetic diamonds can have a 65-80% discount compared to current prices. More: the largest producer of equipment used to manufacture synthetic diamonds has back orders of one year.

The great race

Read these figures well: it is estimated that the investment in the next few years to produce synthetic diamonds will be 1.9 billion dollars. So the laboratory diamond jewelery market is expected to grow 22% each year, up to $ 5.2 billion in 2023, and then rise again to $ 14.9 billion in 2035, with a long-term growth rate around 9%. And this also thanks to the improvement of production technologies, which should further push prices down. Summarizing: in the coming years there will be an invasion of synthetic diamonds, thanks to the reduction in prices, the increase in production and the positive image these stones have. Synthetic diamonds, that is, are seen as friends of the environment (even if to produce them in reality it takes a lot of energy consumption), since you do not have to scour the mountains or dig holes in the earth to get them.

How much do synthetic diamonds weigh

The world jewelery industry, again in the analysis of Paul Zimnisky, is valued at 270 billion dollars. The diamonds created by the laboratory currently represent 2% of the 87 billion market which includes jewels with natural stones. Even in the near future natural diamonds will continue to represent the majority of this market. But the diamond jewels created by the laboratory will increase to 3.4% in 2023 to 4.5% by 2035. Most of the jewels with synthetic diamonds will be sold at a price between 250 and 1000 dollars.

Colored stones

There are not only synthetic diamonds. From years the world of bijoux also uses rubies, sapphires, emeralds, etc. created in the laboratory. Unlike diamonds, these stones are very cheap. When you see jewelry with ruby-colored or sapphire-colored stones sold for a few tens of euros, you can be sure that these are synthetic imitations, even if in the description of the bijou this is not (unfortunately) specified. The current size of this market is estimated at around 40 billion dollars. Compared to synthetic colored gems, the diamonds created by the laboratory represent less than 1%. But, given that the price of diamonds will fall, their diffusion in the fashion bijoux sector will also increase: laboratory diamonds will represent 3% of the fashion jewelery market by 2023 and almost 7% by 2035, with prices under 250 dollars. And this is another reason that could depress the value of your diamonds.

Less nature

Natural diamonds currently represent more than 95% of the diamond jewelery market. But the production of natural diamonds is expected to decline over the next four years. And this also because the diamond mines continue to run out, though there may still be a few deposits not yet discovered. According to another point of view, however, this trend (ie the decrease of natural stones extracted) could add value to natural diamonds, despite the spread of laboratory gems. Also because, according to the analyst, consumers in countries like China and India may not perceive the diamonds created in the laboratory as substitutes for natural ones. In short, marketing will play an important part in convincing those who buy a jewel to choose one type of diamond rather than another. A diamond is forever? Yes, but what kind? Federico Graglia

Recarlo in Love for Valentine’s Day

//





The Anniversary Love collection by Recarlo is multiplied with the feast of lovers ♦ ︎

If Valentine’s Day is a party, it means that it is also an anniversary, that is an important date that recurs on the calendar. And since this is the anniversary of love, Recarlo’s Anniversary Love stems from the two concepts, with the extension of the Cupido, Eden, Feeling and Elisir lines. Valentine’s Day is also the perfect moment to enhance the choice of the Piedmontese Maison in terms of diamonds: the stones, in fact, are all cut in the shape of a heart.

Anniversary Love includes wedding rings, solitaires, contrarié rings, earrings and necklaces with pendant, also in white gold and diamonds.

Stones always cut to heart chase each other to make up the lines of diamonds. For example, there are earrings made of 16 diamonds. A ring contrarié, however, from 13 diamonds with dimension to reduce. Margherita Donato

Synthetic diamonds for Meghan Markle

//





Meghan Markle wears a pair of earrings with synthetic diamonds. And in Britain the debate starts ♦ ︎

The Duchess of Sussex continues to be an influencer in the field of jewelry. What Meghan Markle wears has immediatly a reflection on sales, not least because Prince Harry’s bride often chooses jewelry for everyone.

Now, however, another type of choice may also weigh: that relating to synthetic diamonds.

Meghan Markle, in fact, during her first visit as Royal Patron for SmartWorks (a charity that helps unemployed and vulnerable women), what has been described as her “most daring to date” jewel, that is a pair of earrings with three drops. The jewelry brand is Kimai, specialized in ethical jewelry: the earrings were made of 18 carat gold and the diamonds are obtained in the laboratory and cost only 315 pounds. A fact that surprised many: are synthetic diamonds quite “noble”? It seems so. And perhaps this time the choice of Meghan Markle will push many women to opt for this type of stone. The choice has already opened a debate in the British press and on the options represented by ethical jewels. On the other hand, the largest natural diamond company, De Beers, announced long ago the opening of a laboratory for the production of synthetic diamonds.
From her engagement with Prince Harry the Duchess of Sussex has always been wearing the latest jewelry trends, from brands like Birks, Missoma and Shaun Leane. And all have seen an increase in sales thanks to the young new member of the royal family.

Lady Gaga with Messika

Lady Gaga returns on stage with the jewels by the new Messika collection ♦ ︎

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, aka Lady Gaga, got engaged with her manager, Christian Carino. And it does not matter if the singer is unfaithful. But not (until proven otherwise) in his personal relationships. The volubility concerns, rather, the choice of jewelry to wear.

After two days when she had wore a big Tiffany diamond necklace, the star chosed Messika’s jewelry.

Transparency operation by Tiffany

//





Revolution in Tiffany: the Maison has decided to make transparent the origin of the diamonds used in its jewels ♦ ︎

The polls have highlighted it for some time: the audience of those who are not satisfied with buying a closed box diamond widens, even if the packaging is of a prestigious brand. The big jewelry brands have understood this, and they increasingly emphasize the “virtuous” origin of the materials used to make their collections. Even Tiffany decided to take the path of sustainable jewelry with a strong initiative, especially considering the large amount of jewelry that produces and sells. Tiffany, in fact, operates diamond polishing workshops all over the world, where it employs more than 1,500 artisans.

In fact, Tiffany has announced that it will reveal the provenance of its diamonds. Not only that: it undertakes to provide information on the traceability of the stones in a completely transparent way.

Stone suppliers will also have to sign a guarantee certifying that diamonds do not come from conflict zones, explicitly indicating the geographic origin (region or countries of origin) of polished diamonds sold to Tiffany.
In short, the customers of the American Maison will know from which region or country the diamonds come from. And this is also possible thanks to new technologies, which allow traceability of products in a more secure and transparent way, for example with the use of the blockchain system. Moreover, by 2020 Tiffany will provide information on the craft process used and this is a novelty in the sector. Tiffany’s petticoat operation also has a name: Diamond Source and, explains the company, is the result of 20 years of investments aimed at ensuring a responsible approach to the procurement and craftsmanship of diamonds.

Diamonds with a weight of more of 0.18 carats are registered individually and a unique T&Co serial number is applied to all. It’s laser engraved on the stone, but not visible to the naked eye.

From that number we can trace the specific geographic origin of each stone. And this is to ensure that the stones have been mined in managed mines that do not come from conflict zones.
The new transparency practice begins immediately: in the first quarter of 2019 Tiffany will begin to include information on provenance in the Tiffany Diamond Certificate for individually registered diamonds, adding also other specifications, ie information that is not reported in the reports of other laboratories in the sector or that they are not supplied by other luxury jewelery manufacturers of global importance. In 2020, in addition to data on provenance, the Maison will begin to share information on the craft process, including indications on the place where the cutting and polishing were carried out.

Diamonds were formed 3 billion years ago and have surfaced on the earth’s surface for a miracle of nature. Symbolize the most important moments of our lives and, when it comes to Tiffany diamonds, everything must be clear. Our customers want and deserve to know the provenance of their precious and beloved diamond jewelry and to know how they came to us.
Alessandro Bogliolo, Ceo di Tiffany

If the origin of the diamond is unknown (as in the case of Tiffany Heritage stones, which were used before the adoption of this policy), Tiffany will confirm that the diamond in question has been extracted using the most advanced techniques. Tiffany standards exceed the requirements of the Kimberley Process Certification (which certify an illegal origin of stone) established for rough diamonds and, for polished stones, the Tiffany Diamond Source Warranty Protocol is complied with. If, for example, a diamond belongs to a lot bought from a trusted supplier and has undergone several operations managed responsibly, it will be called Botswana. In this case yes it deals with rough diamonds mined in Botswana and in selected mines of Namibia, South Africa or Canada, which strictly follow the Kimberley Process Certification protocol although they are not traceable.

Tiffany & Co. has long been committed to ensuring the traceability of diamonds and to exceeding industry standards to promote the protection of the environment and human rights. A transparent description of the responsible procurement process reflects the multiple benefits that characterize each stage of the diamond supply chain.
Anisa Kamadoli Costa, Chief Sustainability Officer of Tiffany & Co
