Salvini Cachemire, precious softness

/




Cachemire collection by Salvini combines softness with a precious brightness ♦ ︎

It is called Cashmere and has many qualities. Except one: it does not keep warm. But it is probably a detail that few women will notice. Salvini’s Cachemire collection is so named because the diamonds used together with the white gold form a weave, a kind of precious fabric, soft in contact with the skin and represents the top of the Maison’s production which is part of the Damiani group.

The mesh is obtained by a mesh of castoni, with many stones juxtaposed to one another.

Faceted and diamond-cut, the castons capture the light of the gems in an optical illusion, that is, they give the idea of ​​a bright, luminous and soft surface. The rings are also made with this technique, with a white gold clasp on the back. The earrings are offered in different lengths, always hanging and soft. In addition to necklaces of different sizes, there is also a choker made of seven rows of intertwined diamonds: the effect is remarkable. Giulia Netrese

Cascata hours for de Grisogono

//





High jewelery bracelets with built-in clock: the de Grisogono Cascata collection ♦ ︎

They are not watches. Or, more precisely, they are clocks that are indifferent to time. Ok, the technical data indicate that inside there also seems to be a quartz movement that ensures a Swiss precision. But who will wear the three copies of the Cascata collection by the Maison de Genève de Grisogono to see what time it is? These timepiece jewels guarantee more a pleasant aesthetic sensation than an interest in punctuality. They are also jewels full of secrets.

Inside these watch-bracelets there is a golden wire structure studded with precious stones which is at the base of the watch’s silhouette.

Collezione Cascata. Orologio bracciale con cassa in oro rosa con 128 rubini a taglio brillante, 126 ametiste a taglio brillante e 72 ametiste ovali. Quadrante: set con 148 ametiste. Oro rosa chiusura pieghevole con 95 ametiste
Collezione Cascata. Orologio bracciale con cassa in oro rosa con 128 rubini a taglio brillante, 126 ametiste a taglio brillante e 72 ametiste ovali. Quadrante: set con 148 ametiste. Oro rosa chiusura pieghevole con 95 ametiste

That’s why the collection has this name: Cascata. Small jewels studded with 126 brilliant cut diamonds support the 72 oval cut gemstones of a bezel. The claws dominate and punctuate a cascade of stones for a total of over 30 carats, creating a continuum in scale that defines the contours of the oval shape of the watch and reveals the dial encrusted with 148 gems set in snow. The strap is in galuchat.
In short, high jewelry or high watchmaking? To guarantee the most dense setting and to make the gems appear in an inseparable succession, the Maison de Grisogono explains the goldsmiths craftsmen took almost a hundred hours to cut the stones in an oval shape.

I could spend hours simply observing the choreography of the hands, the harmonious dance of the fingers that unite and give life to the materials.
Fawaz Gruosi

The set griffe, the embellished dial with the snow-set and the sculpted caseback with diamond volutes required a 50-hour work for the oval cut stones and 20 hours for the claws and the snow-set of the case back and the scrolls. The bracelet with minutes and seconds is offered in three versions: white gold and white diamonds, white gold with emeralds on top and white diamonds below, pink gold with amethysts on top and rubies underneath. The buckle has new aesthetic lines specially designed to match the philosophy of the Cascata watch: in the center is a rosette cut gem of over one carat framed by a pavé.

High jewelery signed Messika worn by the super model Sara Sampaio. A successful combination ♦ ︎

Messika on the red carpet of the British Fashion Awards in London. The Parisian Maison’s jewels were worn by Victoria’s Secret model Sara Sampaio, who chose Roaring Diamond earrings from the Paris est une Fête jewelery collection, the Glam’Azone bracelet and the My Twin Trio ring.

These are three collections of high jewelery that are emblematic of the Messika style.

The Duncan bracelet from the Paris est une Fête collection, for example, is dedicated to Isadora Duncan, dancer and choreographer of the 1920s, a pioneer of modern dance: pear-cut diamonds are arranged in parallel lines and intersect in a wave. And always in Isadora are dedicated earrings in the same style. Another famous woman who lived in Paris in the past is dedicated to the Mata Hari line, which is always part of Paris est une Fête. Among the pieces of high jewelry stands a wide necklace with oriental influences, almost a diamond mandala, made in the laboratories of Messika thanks to an innovative technique of laying the stone, called serti plume. The diamonds in the center are highlighted by a delicate semicircle of brilliant cut stones, worked and asymmetry in the inverted system: the original shape of the stone is then extended, perspective and greater volume.

The Pensiero (thought) set by Bliss, in the classic combination of white gold and diamonds. Images and prices ♦ ︎

When you give something inexpensive, before the person who is destined to open the package, you can say: “look it’s just a thought”. How to say: it is the intention that matters, not the price of the object you are about to receive. Sometimes, however, the thought is just the gift. But this is not something immaterial, a fantasy, but a jewel. Actually, there are three.

It is the case, in fact, of the Pensiero (the word means thought) di Bliss collection.

Prices are in line with the materials used: under € 600 the ring, over 700 for earrings. Giulia Netrese

With the colors of the rainbow or in black and white: the jewels of Sutra for the tenth anniversary ♦ ︎

The rainbow has inspired poets, writers and painters. But it has also inspired jewelry designers such as the Arpita couple and Divyanshu Navlakha, who founded the Maison Sutra just ten years ago.

This precious stone, in fact, can take on different colors, from blue to orange, from yellow to green.

It is designed by the designer father of iPhone, iMac, iPad … This exceptional creation will be on sale on December 5 in Miami, in an auction organized by Sotheby’s.

The artificial diamond, on the other hand, was produced by Diamond Foundry. The ring has no metallic part. Diamond Foundry is the leading American producer of stone produced in the laboratory and aims to present itself as a sustainable company. It boasts the star of Blood Diamond and among the shareholders there is Leonardo DiCaprio, who was the protagonist of a film about the extraction of illegal diamonds.

The diamond used for the ring is about 45 carats, one of the largest laboratory stones in the world.

The ring, however, does not yet exist: if a buyer is found, the rough diamond created in the laboratories of the Bay Area of Diamond Foundry will be sent to master cutters in Antwerp to be customized to the extent of the finger of the new owner.
To realize the ring’s design, which has 2-3,000 almost microscopic facets, Ive and Newsom have also designed special tools, including a device that will project a laser beam through a micrometric water jet to create the cylindrical cut of the interior ring. The price? Among 150000 and 250000 dollars. Cosimo Muzzano

The necklace that measures diamonds

//





Fred re-proposes his caliber-shaped necklace to measure the carats of the diamonds ♦

They gave you a diamond ring. Oh well, how big is the diamond? And has more carats than mine? Let’s say the truth: envy is part of human sins and, of course, a part is found in jewelry. Precisely to test who has this defect (which Dante in the Divine Comedy places in Purgatory: as punishment have their eyes sewed), the jeweler Fred Samuel has devised a truly amazing jewel.

The necklace has a pendant, an instrument for measuring the diamond carats: a “calibre a pierres”.

Il collier Calibre pierre
Il collier Calibre pierre

Naturally, within this tool, used by jewelers to speed up the work of carat control, one or more diamonds of different weight are found.
This series, among other things, is also linked to the anniversary of the fashion house, which turned 110 years old: conceived in the seventies, now the pendant has been revived in a numbered edition of only 110 pieces, as many as the birthday years. It was born, in fact, from Fred Samuel, born in an Argentinean family who traded in precious stones and pearls, his passion. Transferred to Paris Fred Samuel gave life to the Maison that bears his name and is located in rue de la Paix. Giulia Netrese

And also for the architectures of Antoni Gaudì. Suffice it to say that his works are part of the heritage of Humanity sanctioned by UNESCO. Gaudì has an unmistakable style, made of art nouveau that becomes eclectic, unpredictable sculpture, with elusive and elliptical profiles.

The 1922 collection by Alfieri & St. John is dedicated to Gaudì.

Why that number? Simple: it is the date when Gaudì realizes the project of the Park Güell in Barcelona. The jewels of the collection are based on the unusual shapes of benches and monuments of that place. Earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets of the collection are made of yellow gold with small diamonds and sapphires, rounded in almost spiral shapes.

The Sherlock Holmes of diamonds

/





True or synthetic diamonds? Hrd Antwerp’s detective machines are coming ♦

As we have written several times, among buyers, but also among jewelers, uncertainty increases. The doubt concerns the certification of diamonds, since more and more often artificial stones are so similar to natural ones that the distinction has become increasingly difficult, even for experts. For this reason the game that is played between those who sell jewelry with authentic diamonds and who, instead, uses those created in the laboratory, becomes more tight. Obviously the game is not played when diamonds are declared as artificials from the beginning.

The problem, instead, is to get the guarantee that the ring with solitaire purchased is really, 100%, made with a stone “daughter of nature”.

Diamante taglio a pera
Diamante taglio a pera

It is not only an economic issue, since the value of a natural diamond is greater, but also one aspect sentimental: the idea that a stone was created by the compression of continents moving millions of years ago remains attractive to many people.

Now Hrd Antwerp, one of the most reliable gemological certification companies, has developed and commercialized two new diamond analysis tools.

Strumenti per lo screening dei diamanti
Strumenti per lo screening dei diamanti

Objective: to offer consumers a guarantee of quality. Two devices that are a sort of Sherlock Holmes of gemologist, M-Screen + and D-Tect, therefore allow the detection of synthetic diamonds and offer, explains the company, a solution to the most important challenge for the diamond industry. The plus of these devices is, among other things, the speed and precision with which they operate, thanks to technologies based on UV light spectroscopy and photoluminescence.
It should be added that so far the devices designed to find synthetic diamonds, which in large batches sometimes hide in the middle of hundreds of real pieces, were only intended for large laboratories. Hrd Antwerp, instead, thinks that the proposed solutions can be adopted on a large scale, that is, by jewelers. With a guarantee of authenticity that can be appreciated by those who buy a jewel.

Synthetic diamonds alarm

/





Increases the number of synthetic diamonds sold as natural.

Latest news from the world of diamonds: synthetic ones are more and more similar to the natural ones. So that now even the gemological laboratories are struggling to distinguish them. There are more and more undisclosed, so who assures you that you have the solitaire on her finger is authentic? The alarm does not come from gossip or talk that you read on social networks, but directly by the Gemological Institute of America, the most reliable analytical institute of precious stones. Gia, in fact, announced time ago that he had found on the market in Hong Kong a 5-carat undisclosed diamond, synthetic, with a quality that makes it difficult to distinguish from a real diamond. Not only so far synthetic diamonds were small, but 5 carat is a record.

Gia has classified the synthetic diamond with color equivalent to J and clarity VS2, ie comparable to a stone of high quality genuine.

Anello con diamante sintetico di Diamond Foundry
Anello con diamante dichiaratamente sintetico di Diamond Foundry

No traces have been found, in addition, of black inclusions, which are often contained in the synthetic diamond. Experts of Gia argue that if the diamond was examined under a microscope would be classified as natural. It has been identified, however, only through a detailed spectroscopic examination: a fairly expensive technology, that those who buy precious stones could be considered superfluous.
This discovery casts a shadow on the market: how many synthetic diamonds undeclared are out there, they ask the experts of the GIA? India and China are the two most at-risk markets, but it is not impossible that even in Europe and the US arrive passed off as natural synthetic diamonds. The test statistics seem confirm these: the GIA has examined a stock of 3005 diamonds randomly selected. Of these three they have proven fake, i.e. synthetic. And a trader admitted that tolerance is 1-2% in the sale of synthetic diamonds undisclosed. A percentage that starts to be significant and could increase with time. Federico Graglia

Love at the time of Recarlo

//





Feeling collection by Recarlo: heart-shaped diamonds, flexible bracelet. Images and prices ♦ ︎

At one time, in the Italian language, the word heart rhymed with love. It is still so. But a third assonance has been added: Recarlo. Even if the last letters of the alphabet do not coincide, the rhyme exists in fact. If the Piedmontese brand has always been identified with jewelery for engagement, marriage or anniversary, now the identification between Recarlo and the romantic atmosphere is complete. A decisive acceleration of the Maison on the path of heart-shaped diamonds is what makes jewelery and love fit together.

Recarlo seems to be the only one who can offer five collections of jewels made with heart-cut diamonds.

Each has different characteristics, but all are entirely made up of small heart-shaped diamonds of different sizes, from 0.09 carats to over 1 carat. It should be noted that this is a cut that is not at all easy to make, especially in large homogeneous quantities and with small stones.
For example, Feeling (we’ll talk about of others separately) aligns a series of small hand-cut hearts, set with a really challenging job. The bracelet is also equipped with an invisible spring that makes the jewel flexible. All diamonds, in perfect Recarlo style, are mounted on white gold. Indicative prices (vary according to the amount of diamonds used): 5760 euro bracelet, 4230 euro ring with 0.92 carats of diamonds.

Colette Jewelry, luxurious extravagance





Creative jewels, surprising, a bit strange: they are those of Colette Steckel and her Colette Jewelry ♦ ︎

French by mother, childhood in Mexico, Colette Steckel is the brand Colette Jewelery designer, extravagant jewelry inspired a bit  from everywhere, from flowers, stars, from romantic bows and even the most masculine gears of a car. Intricate pieces that demonstrate a technical education, she studied graphic design at Mexico City’s University, and express femininity drawing on Hispanic  and French culture.

For example, in the ring Two-pieces bow there is all the delicacy and the frivolity of a bow, the complexity of curved lines manufacturing and the engineering joints that make it a jewel to be worn in various ways. It is not easy to turn a simple ribbon  in something new. And the same goes for the classic chevalier ring with a special twist. As well as the ear cuff with a bird on top of the ear ready to take flight and the wing resting on the lobe that gives illuminates the face as a stud well conceived. In short, two subjects for anything but original designed in such a way that the jewel as a whole it is. And yet full of grace. Made of 18-carat gold, platinum and diamonds selected with the expertise of a graduate gemologist Gia.

The new Signs of Salvini

//





Salvini renews the I Segni collection with rings and long sautoir with mother of pearl and lapis lazuli ♦ ︎

What is reality, if not an immense archive of signs? From the road signs to the letters of the alphabet, to the demonstrations of affection towards another person: everything is regulated, communicated, expressed through appropriate signs. And if you think about it, jewels are also part of this carousel: they are embellishments that communicate something to the recipient or to the wearer. Even more so if the jewels are those of the now historic I Segni di Salvini collection.

Now Salvini proposes the Signs again with the addition of new pieces from the collection.

Rings, earrings and long sautoir reproduce elements such as cross, heart, butterfly and four-leaf clover, common symbols, to which also attribute personal meanings. The novelty concerns the entry into the collection of surfaces in mother-of-pearl or lapis lazuli, which are combined with pink gold. But there is no lack of plain rings in the rosé and gold versions, or in pavé diamonds in white gold. Fortunately, the jewels of the I Segni collection do not leave their mark on the wallet and this is also a sign of the times: the rings in full pavé are offered at 745 euros, while for the sautoir in gold and semiprecious stones the price rise to 2400.

Fiore Roberta’s Candy

The new bracelets containing words signed by Fiore Roberta in gold and diamonds ♦

In S.Zenone Ezzelini (Treviso) there is the headquarters of Fiore Roberta, a company of jewelry that has conquered the markets of Germany, Austria, Scandinavia and Great Britain. The story is typical of those in the Veneto region, which is a small kingdom of Italian jewelery: the craftsman who stands out the jump in international markets. The company was founded in 1989 on the initiative of PietroFusaro, contract manufacturer, and now decided to put to use his creativity and his experience.

Over the past 15 years the sons Mirko and Andrea continued his father’s footsteps: in 2006, therefore, Fusaro decided to apply direct to retail in Italy, with its own brand Roberta Fiore. The success in Italy has encouraged into international markets. The latest collection of the brand includes a series of gold bracelets with diamonds that contain particularly meaningful words.
