What is the right time to buy an engagement ring? Read these six tips before choosing an engagement ring ♦

When is the best time to buy an engagement ring? It depends. There are several factors to take into account before to buy an engagement ring. One such factors is the time. The purchase is a choice that should be taken after thinking well: the engagement ring is not a whatever jewel and probably will be cherished and worn throughout life by the receiver. Here are six aspects to consider.

1 No rush
The first consideration, which also applies to other items that involve considerable expense, is that haste produces bad advice. Unless you are very lucky, choosing a ring at first glance is often the worst idea. Two months of scouting are recommended to be able to look for the right ring: compare the prices and models offered by different jewelers. And if you want to stay updated on the news, be sure to follow gioiellis.com.

2 Take the time to compare prices and models
Fortunately, the Internet allows you to consult who can provide information on models, prices and characteristics of the rings (we are talking about gioiellis.com of course) without leaving home. So, use the web to get an idea. But beware: nothing can replace the impression in the real world. A ring that looks wonderful in a photo may turn out to be less attractive when viewed up close. In any case, many jewelry companies also offer an online sales service: ideal for getting an idea of the models and prices of the rings. Today the classic solitaire in white gold with four prongs and a diamond is no longer mandatory. Variations on the theme can also be chosen.

3 Choose the right month
When it comes to engagement, the hot season is the cold one, that is, between November and March. Weddings, on the other hand, are celebrated more often in the warm months, from spring to autumn. It is obvious that jewelers are well aware of this cyclical trend and tend to keep prices higher in the months when there is greater demand. That said, no engagement should be postponed to wait for the most convenient month. Take this into consideration.

4 Keep in mind the delays
Do not think that a jeweler has all the measures and all the models of a ring: there are variables such as the circumference, or the weight of the diamond. It may take some time before delivery of the selected jewelry. Another good reason not to choose the ring at the last moment.

5 Do not believe the balances
There are jewelers or online companies trying to entice customers with amazing offers and discounts. Do not fall into the trap: if a ring is of good quality it is not sold at a discount. There are no sales in the jewelry of a certain level. Although, of course, large jewelry companies may have an interest in emptying the shelves of a particular collection that needs to be replaced. In that case, the jewelry may be offered at a lower price. But that’s not what happens often. Indeed, the most fortunate and successful collections tend to have stable or rising prices.

6 Take the time to read the instructions
Yes, the jewelry may have instructions. Or, rather, a description. A diamond ring will also have a certificate describing the quality of the stone. Given that 90% of the cost of a ring is determined by the type of diamond that mounts, it is good to spend a few minutes to read the certificate of authenticity, which also shows the features that are not seen with the naked eye. They are the ones that determine the price of a stone, and therefore, its value. You do not know how to decipher codes G, H or Vs1? Please print driving fast you find here.  And good luck!

Diva Gioielli’s silver diamonds

Bracciale in argento diamantato




Buying a diamond without buying a diamond. It is not a contradiction, provided that instead of a stone you choose the Diamante collection by Diva Gioielli. But, despite the name, there is no need to get confused: the jewels of the collection are not set with diamonds. Instead, they are made of silver, the house specialty. But, optionally, they can also be obtained with a gold plating. So how do you explain the name of the collection? Simple: the particular processing of the metal, silver, is called diamond coating.

Diamonds, in this case, are used at a certain point in the process and are used to make the silver shine. To obtain this effect, obtained by hand processing, after having treated the silver jewel with an iced liquid, diamond points are used (it is the hardest material on earth) to remove a tiny portion of the metal on the surface. In this way a mirror facet is obtained, which reflects the light. In this case, thanks to this process, Diva has obtained particularly reflective necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings.

Tiffany enlists Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Tiffany has enlisted the couple Beyoncé and JAY-Z and a super diamond for the new communication campaign. Tiffany ABOUT LOVE marks the latest evolution of the new creative direction of the bran that passed under the banner of the LVMH group. “Beyoncé and JAY-Z are the epitome of the modern romance. As a brand that has always been synonymous with love, strength and self-expression, we couldn’t think of a more iconic couple that better represent Tiffany’s values. We are honored to have the Carters as part of the Tiffany family, ”commented Alexandre Arnault, Executive Vice President of Product and Communications.

5187559B 344B 412D B22B A99C5FD2A8EF

The Carters’ love story is the backdrop to the super diamond Tiffany and is set with the contribution of Equals Pi (1982) by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Worn in a campaign for the first time in history, the Tiffany Diamond weighs 128.54 carats and boasts 82 facets, about thirty more than the common brilliant-cut diamond. Discovered in 1877 in the Kimberley mines in South Africa, founder Charles Lewis Tiffany bought the diamond in the rough in 1878, solidifying the brand’s reputation as an authority in the diamond industry. The icons of the house, including designs by Jean Schlumberger and the Tiffany T collection, are also present everywhere. In particular, JAY-Z wears Jean Schlumberger’s legendary Bird on a Rock brooch, reconstructed as a one-of-a-kind pair of cufflinks. Jean Schlumberger was best known for dressing up the high society elite in the 1960s and 1970s, so it’s fitting that his unmistakable models live his legacy on one of today’s greatest creative forces. A film by acclaimed director Emmanuel Adjei has also been created and features a musical performance of the classic song “Moon River”.

Made famous in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the iconic melody is reimagined with Beyoncé’s voice, captured by JAY-Z on a Super 8 camera. The couple chose the Orum House in Los Angeles as the setting for the film. in which nostalgic flashbacks intertwine with cinematic and dreamlike images. The accompanying “ABOUT LOVE” print campaign was shot by Mason Poole and stylized by June Ambrose and Marni Xenophon. The accompanying film will launch on Tiffany.com on September 15 and will be amplified through global media activations. The campaign will develop further later this year with more films created by acclaimed director Dikayl Rimmasch and second unit director, Derek Milton.

For ten years manager engaged in the development of the corporate business by day. But jewelry designer at night. This double life has a name: Meredith Young, a young American who, as they say (often a bit inappropriately), has cultivated a dream, passing through Arizona to arrive at the Couture Show in Las Vegas. Before, however, the designer attended Marist High School, which allowed her to fill her curriculum with various metalworking courses, art studies and art history, as well as languages ​​(French) and philosophy. In short, Meredith Young is a woman with broad interests.

But, now, above all, she is committed to the development of the brand that she has the name of her and that she founded in 2016, leaving her job as a manager. Jewels that are often inspired by complicated textures on gold, with geometries reminiscent of those seen under the microscope. Her latest collections, Pure Energy, feature radiant lines and are based on the concept of purity in physics, while the Controlled Chaos collection is a game of balance between stability and instability. Diamonds, precious and semi-precious stones with even unusual cuts characterize the work of Meredith Young.

The super crypto-diamond sold by Sotheby’s

Published on
Il diamante The Key 10138 all'asta




It happened: Sotheby’s sold a 101.38 carat diamond to a private and anonymous collector during an auction held in Hong Kong. The novelty, however, is that the 101.38-carat super diamond was bought with a cryptocurrency. It has not been communicated whether the cryptocurrency used is bitcoin or ethereum, the two required by the auction regulation. What is known, however, is the price paid, which is equivalent to 12.3 million dollars, on average with estimates.

The diamond, called 10138 The Key, is a flawless stone classified as a pear-shaped D. It is the first time that a precious stone of this value has been paid for with a virtual currency, which essentially allows an even more secure anonymity to the buyer, given that the virtual money is not deposited in a bank (and is therefore also protected from eyes of the taxman). Sotheby’s also recalled that the 101.38-carat diamond is the second largest pear-shaped diamond ever sold at auction, slightly surpassed by the flawless 101.73-carat Winston Legacy D sold in 2013.

The first 100-carat diamond for crypto at Sotheby’s

Sooner or later it had to happen: bitcoin and ethereum enter the world of great jewelry. Or, rather, they are now virtual currencies accepted in a super auction like the one organized by Sotheby’s in Hong Kong. On the other hand, there is already NFT virtual art, paid for in millions of dollars. In fact, Sotheby’s has announced that it will accept a cryptocurrency payment for one of the rarest and largest diamonds. It is a 101.38 carat pear-shaped cut D Flawless classified stone. Diamonds of this magnitude are exceptionally rare, with fewer than ten over 100-carat specimens ever auctioned, only two of them pear-shaped. The fact that the cryptocurrency is accepted as payment also marks a significant moment in the evolution of the market: no other physical object with an estimate even approaching 10-15 million dollars (78-118 million Hong Kong dollars) has never been publicly offered for purchase with cryptocurrency.

This is a truly symbolic moment. The oldest and most emblematic denominator of value can now, for the first time, be bought using humanity’s new universal currency. There has never been a better time to bring a world-class diamond like this to market.
Wenhao Yu, vice president of Sotheby’s Jewelery in Asia

Extremely rare, 100-carat diamonds have reached a mythical status, and pear-shaped ones have a particular resonance, also because their cut echoes that of Cullinan I, perhaps the most famous diamond in the world, currently kept in the Tower of London and mounted in the imperial scepter of Great Britain. Pear-shaped diamonds of this stature are of great rarity on the market, with only two appearing at auction to date. This, recently dubbed The Key 10138, is the second largest pear-shaped diamond ever to hit the public market. The diamond’s name, The Key 10138, was chosen to capture both the past and the present and the future. Historically, keys, like diamonds, have been a symbol of power and the freedom that comes with it. Now, digital type keys are critical to the functioning of cryptocurrency.

The diamond will be offered in a single lot live sale at Sotheby’s Hong Kong on July 9, with offers open online from June 25, 2021. Cpme early, Sotheby’s will also accept payment in ethereum or bitcoin, the two most popular cryptocurrencies, via Coinbase Commerce, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world.

The diamond is currently visible by appointment at Sotheby’s in New York and will be on display at Sotheby’s Hong Kong Gallery from 3 to 8 July. The stone will be the main lot of the Luxury Edit sale in Asia, bringing together some of the best luxury items available on the market, from jewelry to watches, handbags and rare sneakers.

Over the past year we have found a voracious appetite for jewelry and other luxury items from collectors around the world. This question comes more and more from a younger, digital-born generation; many of which are in Asia. We are thrilled to present this exceptional diamond as the highlight of our Luxury Edit series of different categories in Hong Kong and to continue our commitment to innovation by accepting cryptocurrency payments for this historic article.

A 29.3 million pink diamond

Published on
Il diamante viola-rosa Sakura di 15,81 carati




When is a 15.81 carat purple-pink diamond worth, which equates to a weight of 3.16 grams? The answer is: $ 29.3 million. It is the price at which Sakura was sold, as the pink diamond put up for auction by Christie’s in Hong Kong was called. The figure is considerable, but it does not represent the maximum estimate of the gem. The diamond, in fact, was estimated in a range between 25 and 38 million. The selling price, in short, is in the middle, even if it is equivalent to about 1.9 million per carat, a figure that still represents a world record for a purple-pink diamond at auction. The name of the stone, Sakura, is the Japanese word for cherry blossom.

The second best-selling lot was another 4.19-carat heart-cut pink diamond set in a platinum ring with pear-shaped diamonds on the side: it was valued at around 6.5 million dollars. A necklace with a large 50.05-carat briolette-cut diamond was sold for 2.7 million, while a 31.17-carat square emerald-cut vivid yellow diamond ring raised 2.2 million and a diamond and emerald necklace Cartier was sold at 2.1 million.

How to recognize a diamond true or false

Published on

Diamante con piccole inclusioni




Are you sure that the diamond on your ring is genuine? Here are 5 tricks to find out if (probably) your diamond is genuine ♦

A classic case: you want to know if the diamond on your grandmother’s engagement ring, which you inherited, is true or false. Or you are curious to know the truth about the diamond that they just gave you (on a beautiful ring), but about which you have doubts: what if it were an imitation? Or, finally, you just want to get rid of a brilliant ring that you have hardly ever worn, because you need to make some money. Yeah, but will that diamond really be real?

Expertise in un laboratorio Tiffany
Expertise in un laboratorio Tiffany

Let’s face it right away: to find out with absolute certainty you must contact a gemologist or a gemmology laboratory. Only a qualified professional can give you the guarantee that your diamond is authentic. Of course, if you also have a certificate of guarantee on the stone together with the diamond ring, you don’t need anything else.

But, if you are in a hurry, you can immediately get an idea of ​​the authenticity of your diamond with a few simple tests at home. We repeat: they are not 100 percent safe tests, of course, but they can suggest valid indications to find out if you are holding a piece of glass or plastic instead of an authentic diamond. We might as well try, right? The result may surprise you.

One final caveat: these tests will not tell you if the diamond is natural or lab created. Synthetic diamonds, which are increasingly popular, in fact, have a chemical composition that is completely identical to natural ones. To distinguish artificially created diamonds, very expensive equipment and accurate laboratory tests are required. In any case, synthetic diamonds have only been on the market massively for a few years, so it’s not that likely that you have one. A home test, however, could indicate whether your diamond is actually a glass crystal.
Diamante con piccole inclusioni

Test number 1: magnifying glass

Bring a large magnifying glass or a pair of glasses with thick enough glasses. Or failing that, your child’s toy microscope. Look carefully at the inside of the stone. A real diamond very easily has very small inclusions, tiny imperfections that are micro traces of carbon or other minerals that have remained imprisoned in the gem. In this case, it’s a good clue: the diamond should be real. The fake gems, in fact, do not have any inclusion. Of course, if the diamond is of the highest quality it should still be free of imperfections, but in this case it will certainly have been paid a lot and should have a certificate that, for example, indicates purity. Any inclusions, and more generally imperfections, are therefore a good sign of the authenticity of a diamond.

Osservate il diamante con una lente

Test number 2: breath test

Gently blow on the diamond, as you do to mist the lens of your glasses before cleaning them. Diamonds cannot retain heat: the water vapor on a real stone is immediately dispersed. On a (synthetic) zircon, however, it lasts longer. This system also works with synthetic stones called moissanite. Of course, it also depends on the surface of the diamond: it must be sufficient to allow observation. The greatest difficulty with this rudimentary method, however, is that you need to have another diamond available in order to make the comparison.

Test number 3: under glass

If the diamond is mounted on a ring and protrudes a little, for example a solitaire, you can try using it to scratch a glass. You have to pass an edge of the stone on the surface of the glass and observe if it leaves a thin line engraved. Attention, however: even if diamond is the most resistant material, it does not mean that it cannot chip: to perform this test you must be very careful. In any case, if the stone does not leave even a scratch on the glass, it is more likely to be fake. However, there are some synthetic diamonds that can scratch the glass.

Zirconi (cubic zirconia)

Test number 4: read the newspaper

If your diamond is of a suitable size (i.e. it is not microscopic) and is not mounted on a piece of jewelry, try placing it on a printed sheet of paper. A real diamond refracts the light and therefore does not allow the letters to be seen through it. On the contrary, for example, a zircon (cubic zirconia, a synthetic stone) has the effect of a moderate lens: you will see the printed letters enlarged. The magnifying effect also occurs with crystals.

Test number 5: let him swim

If you can disassemble the diamond, try putting it in a glass full of water: it will go to the bottom immediately, because it has a higher density. On the contrary, a fake diamond most of the time tends to float, because it does not have the same specific weight as the real diamond. It is an easy but effective method. Good luck.

In this moment in the world there are: a) great desire to get back to moving, b) great desire to show one’s personality, c) great interest in showing that you have your own personality. Messika, the queen of diamonds made in Paris, intercepts these ambitions with a new collection. Or, better, with a bracelet that renews the historic & iconic Move collection. The My Move bracelet has the dual purpose of adapting to the personality of the wearer and also being fun, like the collection from which it derives.

The first option is the result of the 297 combinations made possible by the nine motifs offered by the metal: white, pink or yellow gold, simple gold, gold with pavé and titanium (black, graphite, natural). All multiplied by 33 leather bracelets of different colors. And the leather bracelet is interchangeable. Obviously, the characteristic feature of the Messika Move collection is not lacking: the diamond that moves within the jewel and which is at the origin of the name of this line of jewelry designed by Valérie Messika.

Chrysler and The Dancing Sun, two super diamonds with Christie’s

Published on
The Chrysler Diamond, diamante a forma di pera di 54,03 carati, colore D, Internally Flawless




Spring is one of the two periods of the year when large jewelery auctions are concentrated. After the one in Geneva, Christie’s offers another Magnificent Jewels auction in New York for June 8, preceded by the online sale of jewelery from 20 May to 4 June. The auction includes a significant selection of colored diamonds, colorless diamonds and precious stones, along with pieces signed by Bulgari, Cartier, Graff, Harry Winston, Jar, Tiffany & Co and Van Cleef & Arpels. Estimates range from $ 10,000 to $ 3,500,000.

The auction on June 8 is led by The Dancing Sun, a huge intense yellow diamond of 204.36 carats, VVS2 purity (estimate 3.5-5.5 million dollars). The Dancing Sun is the largest honed diamond mined in North America. This exceptional stone, along with six additional diamonds (lots 62-67) ranging from 14.52 to 1.06 carats, were cut and polished from the largest quality rough diamond found in North America: weighing 552, 74 carat, the stone was discovered in 2018 by the Diavik Diamond Mine in Canada.

Also featured is the Chrysler Diamond, a magnificent pear-shaped diamond of 54.03 carats, color D, Internally Flawless (estimate 3.5-4.5 million). The story of this exceptional stone began in 1958, when Harry Winston bought what was then known as the Louis XIV diamond owned by Thelma Chrysler Foy, daughter of Walter Chrysler, an automotive entrepreneur who also gave his name to the famous Art Deco skyscraper in New York. Set for the first time in a tiara and exhibited at the Musée du Louvre (1962), the diamond was sold by Winston in 1963, along with a 61.80-carat diamond, to Eleanor Loder. The current owner acquired the pair of gems in 1983: now the diamonds are referred to as the Gemini and included in Notable Diamonds of the World. The Chrysler diamond is now mounted in a necklace and will rightfully go to auction in New York.

The Christies auction includes an important selection of jewels from the mythical Jar, which includes almost 20 creations. The most important piece is a pair of natural pearl and diamond earrings (estimate 700,000-1,000,000 dollars).

How to evaluate your jewelry

Published on
Anversa: valutazione di un diamante




Is it necessary to have your jewelry appraised? The answer is yes: the evaluation of jewels (those of a certain value, of course) is a good idea for many reasons. Four are the most important reasons for evaluating a ring, necklace or bracelet:
1 In case of theft you can get an idea of ​​the damage you have suffered and specify it in the police report.
2 If you want to insure your jewelry, you need to have an idea of ​​what your value is (and if it is really worth insuring them) instead of relying completely on the insurance company.
3 Jewelery is among the most valuable items to be left to your heirs (as late as possible). Knowing how much they are worth helps in a fair sharing and avoids unpleasant quarrels.
4 If you want to sell your jewels, you must have an idea of ​​their actual value.

So how do you go about getting an appraisal of your jewelry?

The opinion of a jeweler. Not all jewelers can give an evaluation of a jewel. But some have the right skills and expertise. For an evaluation that is as realistic as possible it is necessary that the jeweler knows the market prices of the jewelry and that he also knows how to judge the stones that enrich the jewel. In this case it is necessary that he has obtained a diploma in gemology. What can a jeweler tell you? He will probably be able to immediately recognize the type of materials used. There is a big difference, for example, between 18-karat gold and 14-karat gold or with a lower carat. In addition, the jeweler will be able to observe whether the setting of the stones has been made in a workmanlike manner or is approximate. Finally, he will be able to weigh the jewel exactly. Attention: a jeweler can provide an opinion, not a true expert opinion. In short, the judgment of a jeweler is useful, but it does not often correspond to what could be received with the sale of a jewel. Research in the United States, for example, concluded that, in general, a jeweler’s valuation (without a purchase proposal) is always higher than the real value of the jewel.

When to evaluate jewels? If you have already had your jewelry evaluated in the past, do you have to repeat the operation? Experts recommend checking the jewelry valuation every two to three years. But it is difficult for the value of a jewel to fluctuate strongly in a short period of time, so these terms are not to be considered rigid. But if you have jewelry of great value, periodic appraisal may be a good idea.

The estimate of an expert. In every major city there are individual professionals or companies that value jewelry and precious stones. Of course, you pay for this service. How much? It depends on the number of jewels and their value. There are also those who offer online assessments, but these services must be taken with a good dose of skepticism. Of course, a simple jewel of a well-known brand and sold in many copies will be able to obtain a fairly credible evaluation, but it will always be approximate. Furthermore, a free appraisal probably means that those who value your jewelry are also willing to buy it. And do you think it will offer you a high price? In addition, the evaluation of a jewel with a stone, for example a diamond, must contain an exact description of the piece and an identikit of the stone: weight, color, purity, cut. A serious appraisal can also cost a lot if the jewel is complicated or of great value. But it can be money well spent if you intend, for example, to insure your jewelry (read also: how to insure jewelry against theft https://gioiellis.com/come-assicurare-i-gioielli-contro-il-furto ).
Lavorazione di gioielleria

Keep an eye on the auctions. If you are unsure and think you own a valuable piece of jewelry, before proceeding to an appraisal you can browse (online) the results of the many auctions held every year. The auction price of a jewel similar to yours can give you an approximate idea of ​​what the market value is.

The offer of those who buy. A very authoritative certification, as far as stones are concerned, is a good result. A diamond ring accompanied by a certificate from a listed institution, such as the Gia in the United States or equivalent, is a starting point when you want to sell a piece of jewelry. The evaluation of those who buy, in fact, will tend to lower the value of the object. For example, in the case of a diamond, the buyer could consider the stone as a color G instead of E or F. Ditto for the degree of clarity: instead of VS1 it could become SI1 or SI2. So, if the valuation of your jewel is not “protected” by a very authoritative opinion, keep in mind that your idea could be optimistic: in short, do not expect a generic estimate to be respected at the time of sale. Among other things, keep in mind that a jeweler will never buy a diamond ring at the market price set in stores. In fact, jewelers buy stones wholesale, at a much lower price than that reserved for mere mortals. If you want to sell your jewel, take this aspect into account.

Duepunti turns ten

Bracciale in silicone fuxia con diamante bianco




Duepunti is ten years old, a brand born in early 2011 from the idea of ​​two historic Milanese jewelery companies: Blue Withe Group and Vai. The birthday is celebrated quietly, but Duepunti’s bijoux continue to be widely distributed: a sign that the theoretically crazy idea of ​​combining silicone and diamond works. Duepunti, in fact, offers rings and bracelets made of silicone, soft and elastic, set with a small diamond (0.02 carat) surrounded by an equally small silver border. An undoubtedly innovative idea.

But not only that: the bijoux of the Milanese brand also have the particularity of being super colored and offered in an almost infinite range of shades. Finally, the ace in the hole is the price, which is unlikely to exceed one hundred euros (just a little). And the idea of ​​buying a real diamond for 25 euros (the price of a ring) is a surprising marketing strategy. The Duepunti brand is managed by Blue White Group, a company that has been operating in the jewelry and diamond trade for almost half a century and is owned by the Joshach family.

Christie’s is selling a 100-carat Spectacle

Published on
The Spectacle, diamante D-color, Internally Flawless, da 100,94 carati




There are diamonds that can make life exciting. Just look at them and it’s a show. Like the one that Christie’s will present on May 12th and which has been called The Spectacle. In fact it is an exceptional diamond: 100.94 carat D-color Internally Flawless, with an estimate between 12 and 18 million dollars. The diamond will be the highlight of the Geneva Magnificent Jewewls auction.

The diamond was cut from a rare 207.29 carat rough stone. The incredible size and flawless quality made the rough diamond extremely unusual and precious. It was unearthed in 2016 in Zarnitsa in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in northeastern Russia. This is the first diamond deposit discovered in Soviet Russia in 1954.

This exceptional diamond is classified D-color, the best classification available for a diamond. The first purity scale to classify diamonds was introduced in 1953, but it was during the 1970s that the Internally Flawless grade was added. This classification gave diamond producers the ability to leave traces of nature on the stone’s surface and achieve a higher grade than VVS1.

The preparation and cutting process lasted one year and eight months and was performed at the Alrosa cutting workshop in Moscow. The emerald cut was chosen as it featured the perfect geometry of the diamond. The cut of the emerald, in fact, is incompatible with any imperfection, since it allows you to look inside the stone. The 100.94-carat Spectacle diamond is the largest stone ever cut in Russia.
This diamond joins the other two that Christie’s has put on sale in the last ten years: two spectacular D-colored stones, both in Geneva. The first was the 101.73 carat Winston Legacy diamond, the other Creation 1 was even 163.41 carats. They were sold for $ 26.7 million and $ 33.7 million respectively.

After the preview, the official presentation of the annual Tiffany high jewelery collection arrives, the Tiffany Blue Book 2021.

The collection includes over 500 high jewelery creations by Tiffany & Co and Jean Schlumberger and, after New York, was presented in Shanghai. Creating 500 unique pieces of fine jewelery is perhaps an absolute record. But attention is also drawn to the exclusive preview of the spectacular Empire Diamond of more than 80 carats before it is mounted in the extraordinary re-edition inspired by the 1939 Universal Exposition necklace.

Engagement ring: 5 steps

Five things you need to know first to buy an engagement ring ♦ ︎

When you’re sure you’ve found the right woman, the one you will not regret after a few months or a few years (and you assume that after she will not regret the decision), when you’ve chosen the strategy to ask her to marry you, when you assume she says “ok”, with some tears sticking out of his eyes, means that it is time to think about the ring.

2 The 10 etiquette rules for the engagement ring
3 How to choose the engagement ring
4 Engagement ring: 5 things to know
5 Women dissatisfied with the engagement ring
6 Women willing to pay for their engagement ring

It is not something to be taken lightly. The ring will remain on her finger for the rest of her life (hopefully). And it will always remind you of the moment when you asked her if she wanted to marry you. So, it is better to make the best choice.

Unfortunately, the problem is the cost. Almost always, those who get married are also at the beginning of their working career or at least have less income than those who already have more years of job behind them. How to choose an appropriate ring? Here are five tips for making the right decision.

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

1 Decide the shape of the ring

The first decision you need to make concerns the type of ring. Ok, the classic choice is the solitaire, the band of gold with a small or large diamond. In 90% of cases it will be fine. But are you sure it’s the right choice? Maybe she don’t want a traditional jewel: there are endless variations of engagement rings, maybe not with the diamond, but with colored gemstones, like sapphires and rubies. Kate Middleton and Princess Eugenia, for example, received engagement rings with sapphires at the center. It’s a more difficult choice, but keep in mind that generally, a sapphire costs less than a diamond.

2 Decide your budget

After identifying the type of ring you are looking for, set the amount you are willing to spend. Even better is to identify a minimum and a maximum, so that the research is wider. Time ago the cost of an engagement ring was based on the monthly income. For example, anyone who earns 2,000 euros or dollars a month can buy a ring for $ 6,000, three times the monthly income. But it is a rule that few continue to follow. The cost of a marriage is high and, therefore, we must not engage in expenses that then prevent other necessary choices. There are also those on the topic involving their partner, especially if they have a lot of confidence in the matter of money. But of course this ruins the surprise and it is not said that the topic is appreciated. Given this, it is good to remember that an engagement ring is an important jewel …

3 Go in search

First, to do is consult the pages of gioiellis.com. We have talked about engagement rings in many articles: for sure you will find interesting suggestions and suggestions. Then, search on the internet: you can easily compare prices and offers from many different brands. But before buying you should go to some jewelry store (at least three) to get an idea. Seeing a ring closely is always a good idea. By the way: please note that the engagement ring will often be worn together with the wedding ring, usually the classic gold circle. So the two rings must be combined fine.

4 Check the quality

Almost always the choice for an engagement ring is that of a solitaire, gold band and diamond, or more diamonds together. In this case check the classification of the diamonds: it is from their weight and their quality that the value of the jewel is established. Diamonds are classified taking into account the four “C”. Find all the explanations here. Keep in mind, however, that you do not have to choose a diamond of the best quality, that is color D. A F or G diamond will look great too.

5 Choose the weight

A ring with a large diamond will certainly have greater success. But it is not said that it is the best choice. First of all, the weight of the diamonds is measured in carats (1 carat is equivalent to 0.2 grams) but it is not said that it corresponds to the size. It depends on the cutting of the stone: the classic is the brilliant, round cut with 58 facets. But there are shapes that make more, such as oval or pear cuts, but rarer for diamonds of small dimensions. But more than the weight, the value of the diamond is measured above all on the quality of the stone, determined in large part by the famous four “C”. What to do? A good compromise is to choose a smaller, but very good diamond, surrounded by a crown of micro-diamonds, which will make the ring brighter.

Can a perfume turn into a jewel? The magic succeeded in Chanel, who decided to celebrate the anniversary of her most famous perfume, Chanel N.5, in an exceptional high jewelery necklace. It is a unique piece, off the market. But it is a jewel capable of making the eyes of lovers of gems and one-of-a-kind pieces shine. The necklace has a name 55.55, which alludes to the perfume. In the center there is an octagonal diamond with an emerald cut, which evokes the shape of the perfume bottle, cut to weigh exactly 55.55 carats. The value is not determined but, in fact, it is not for sale: it will remain in the Maison’s premises in Place Vendôme as a testimony to the glory of the French brand.

The diamond is of impeccable quality, color D, and is surrounded by 104 round diamonds and 42 baguette diamonds. The design of the necklace resembles the profile of the perfume bottle cap and the shape of the bottle, but adds a cascade of pear-shaped diamonds of various sizes.

In short, a way to strengthen the brand with a marketing operation, but out of the ordinary. It is also a way to link the entire family of Chanel branded products to the world of luxury, with perfume No.5 which turns 100 this year. It was invented, in fact, in 1921, by Ernest Beaux and Gabrielle Chanel. And 11 years later the first jewels of the Maison arrived, with a collection of diamonds in platinum and gold, called Bijoux de Diamants.

The jewels are largely played on the contrast between the pearly shades and the color of the small colored stones, such as emeralds and diamonds, or with the use of dehydrated jade and flowers and then covered with a special resin. As in the Euphoria collections in gold, diamonds and Australian pearls or by Thaiti and the Puppies line. FrancsV collections can be found all over Italy, for example they are distributed in jewelers such as Maria Cristina Gioielli in Milan, Fallaci in Florence, Boncompagni in Piazza San Marco in Venice, the Anthares Goldsmith Workshop in Luras, the Tarasconi Goldsmith Parma.
