The design of Emmanuel Tarpin for de Grisogono

///

A collection of fine jewelry made by designer Emmanuel Tarpin for de Grisogono ♦ ︎

Until recently he was considered the golden boy of jewelery, a designer who at the age of 27 had the chance to enter among the big names in the world of gold and diamonds. Now, instead, Emmanuel Tarpin can no longer be referred to as an emerging designer. De Grisogono, the Geneva House that in high jewelery has the reputation of being innovative and, sometimes, even transgressive, has decided to make him emerge definitively.

To Tarpin, de Grisogono commissioned a collection as Artist in Resident: a choice strongly desired by the new CEO, Céline Assimon. The result is called Prologue and is the first of three collections to be signed by Emmanuel Tarpin. The designer used a palette with two colors: black and white. Indeed, black diamonds have been widely used by de Grisogono. The shape of the jewels is sinuous and surprising: the designer does not disappoint the fame he has gained.

The collection includes long asymmetric earrings of white and black diamonds in the form of a twisted ribbon, with a spiral that gives the illusion of crossing the lobe. And even the bracelet and necklace have the soft appearance of a fabric that bends with soft curves. They are pieces of bold design, but at the same time reassuring. And that, for sure, are unmistakable. Innovative jewels, yet in harmony with the de Grisogono style.

Emmanuel Tarpin, who debuted on the international scene at GemGèneve, launched his first capsule collection two years ago and, in December 2017, his realistic Geranium Leaf aluminum earrings were sold by Christie’s. He then received the Rising Star award from the Fashion Group International and was named Designer of the Year at the Town and Country Jewelry Awards. And he’s only at the beginning.

But above all, Paris is also the capital of high fashion and, therefore, also of fine jewelry. This is why the Lebanese Maison Yeprem, has chosen the world for its extraordinary diamond jewelery, has chosen Paris and fashion week to present a series of high-end jewelry capable of extracting a sigh from all women who love diamonds.

The jewels presented during the fashion week are in perfect Yeprem style: diamonds, diamonds and more diamonds. The stones are aligned or composed on white gold, with sinuous curves and surprising geometries. That is the central one. They are glamorous jewels and not by chance the Yeprem diamonds have been worn by celebrities like Catherine Zeta Jones, Rita Ora, Lady Gaga, Camila Cabello, Nawal El Zoghbi or Hailee Steinfeld.

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.

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 .

Charlize Theron has chosen to shine in Paris. The actress presented her new film, Long Shot, directed by Jonathan Levine, in which Charlize is star with Seth Rogen. But at the Gaumont Opera Capucines premiere, the actress also shone for her look: she chose to wear Messika’s high jewelery, Paris’s queen of diamonds. In particular, Charlize Theron wore Snake Dance earrings from Messika’s new collection of high jewelry Born to Be Wild and the ring Shards of Mirror from the Once Upon A Time jewelry collection.

Diamonds are the natural element of Valérie Messika. The daughter of a great diamond merchant, André, graduated in marketing and communication at the Sorbonne before an apprenticeship in Chanel’s jewelery sector in 1999. Back in her father’s company, the designer has added the tranding work of precious stones to that of jewelry, always with exceptional diamonds in the middle. Lavinia Andorno

Diamonds and freedom in the new Messika collection

Exceptional diamonds and jewels transported to the wild West: it’s the Born to Be Wild collection by Messika ♦

So far, Born to Be Wild has been the title of a historical song by Steppenwolf, also well known for being part of the soundtrack of the movie Easy Rider. But from now on, however, Born to Be Wild will also be associated with fine jewelry. And, with an unusual link, a high jewelery sported in the American Wild West.

The queen of diamonds, Messika, has decided to call in this way her impressive collection, presented at Baselworld 2019 in a themed installation.

So much so that a photo shoot sets the exceptional collection in the spaces usually reserved (in the movies) for incursions of native Indians, galloping cowboys, runaway bandits and so on. The collection is very wide and includes different lines, such as Snake Dance, Black Hawk, Diamond Catcher, Shaman Shield, Sun Tribe, Wild Moon.

Curiously, it seems that these super jewels are at ease in the midst of natural spaces, strong colors and wild nature. It is a similar, but opposite, contrast to what one feels when an element of nature, for example a ferocious animal, is transported to a civilized environment.

I like to travel, I wanted to instill a state of mind that alludes to feeling of escape. Between fantasy and imagination, the desert acts upon mankind like a great revealer, living up to and surpassing itself. The North American desert, more than any other, leaves one speechless; making you feel like one and someone at the same time…”
