New Venetian princesses for Roberto Coin




What girl wouldn’t like to be a Venetian princess? The idea appears attractive to a large number of women fascinated not only by the noble title, but also by the atmosphere of the most magical city in the world. And this is the idea behind the Venetian Princess collection by Roberto Coin, which is now being renewed. The collection, presented years ago, has over time added new pieces to its vast catalog. Now it’s the turn of new jewels with malachite and lapis lazuli inserts. The semi-precious stones are set in pink or white gold, accompanied by diamonds and the classic ruby ​​placed inside the jewel (a characteristic of the Maison). Furthermore, next to the gold with twisted thread there is also a process called style titanium.

The style, which is similar to that of the Princess Flower collection, is based on the motif of the four-lobed flower derived from the flowery Gothic used for much of Venetian architecture. This motif occurs in the oldest buildings in Venice in the openings between small close columns, in the openings above quadrilobate openings, in the decorations along the roof line. Jewels, like the palaces of Venice, communicate a sense of wealth and abundance. Worthy of a Venetian princess.

Lo stile, che è simile a quello della collezione Princess Flower, si basa sul motivo del fiore a quattro lobi derivato dal gotico fiorito utilizzato per buona parte dell’architettura veneziana. Questo motivo ricorre nelle costruzioni più antiche di Venezia nelle aperture tra piccole colonne ravvicinate, nei trafori sopra aperture quadrilobate, nelle decorazioni lungo la linea del tetto. I gioielli, come i palazzi di Venezia, comunicano un senso di ricchezza e abbondanza. Degno di una principessa veneziana.

Punk Rock with S’Agapò




There is a luxury that no billionaire can ever buy: age. This is why some bijoux are a complement to that inaccessible luxury that is being young. A luxury accessible, of course, to those who really are young. For them, the Bros Manifatture group proposes the bijoux of the S’Agapò brand, a name that some Greek students not too deeply immersed in the vision of Tik Tok can translate with the expression “I love you”. That said, the S’Agapò brand specializes in very low-priced bijoux lines, where the idea and style matter rather than the materials used.

This is also the case for the Punk Rock Expression line, which brings together a series of unisex steel bracelets, necklaces and stud earrings, with the addition of black PVD coloring and, in some cases, hematite crystals. The style is sober, simple, rock. They are accessories that are easy to combine, and above all within the reach of all savings: true luxury, in fact, is being old enough to wear them.

Yeprem’s Couture jewels




If you still think that wearing jewelry is the same as putting a ring on your finger, wearing earrings, showing off a necklace or surrounding your wrist with a bracelet, you are left behind. The world is running and jewelry is evolving, even the high-end one. Proof of this is Yeprem, a high jewelery Maison that has long since embarked on a new path, as in its Couture line. Alongside traditional jewels, Yeprem proposes compositions of white gold and diamonds that embrace parts of the body with unusual shapes and aesthetic effect. They are defined as “jewels for the hand” in the case of pieces intended to cross the back and appear on the palm.

As for the earrings, even Yeprem has chosen to evolve them into one of the many new shapes that have met the favor of the public. And bracelets are no longer just a circle that is worn at the end of the wrist, but jewels that snake around the arm and hand, with surprising autonomy. The jewels also increase the sensation of movement thanks to the dual choice of diamond cut, brilliant and marquise.

Pandora Signature is now in 14K gold




From jewels in silver only, to those in gold-plated silver, up to a line made of 14 karat gold: Pandora has now entered the category of fine jewelry. Witness the Pandora Signature collection, which now presents itself for the first time with 14-karat gold jewelry. The style, shape and basic idea are the same as the jewels of the Signature collection, presented for the first time four years ago, with curved lines and an immediate brand recognition, with the logo engraved in a clearly visible way in the metal. Obviously, in this version, 14-karat gold also increases the value of the jewel.

Belle Époque Reel, Damiani at the cinema with Instagram




We all hope to live in a Belle Époque and perhaps many are experiencing it, albeit in a different way than in the late nineteenth century. Either way, that period has become a symbol that continues to inspire. This was the case, in the last century, for the founder of the Maison Damiani, who conceived the Belle Époque collection also fascinated by the contemporary birth of cinema. And it is still the case today, with the collection that was revived in a new version years ago and which is now updated with the addition of a new line.

Belle Époque Reel also returns to the theme of cinema, with a name that nowadays also evokes the short videos of a popular app like Instagram. In short, a historical era is transformed into something contemporary, immediate and fast. On the other hand, cinema is also less and less enjoyed in a room and more and more distributed online. In any case, the new Belle Époque Reel line includes new rings and necklaces in white, yellow and pink gold, enriched by top quality diamonds in the most precious versions.

The shape of the jewels (rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings) recalls that of the articulated cross in two elements which is the symbol of the historical collection. In this case, however, it is a central circular band that can rotate within two side bands. And, since the geometric pattern is made up of circles and rectangles, the rotation of the central element evokes that of the reels, of traditional cinema with film.

How to wear the stud earrings




Stud earrings: they are back in fashion. Here is how and when to wear the ear studs ♦ ︎

Stud earrings, mon amour. Years pass and the little jewels to be fixed to the lobes never go out of fashion. Indeed, there are those who remember how the icon Jackie Kennedy, although more than 50 years have passed since she was in the White House, is still a teacher of trends. And Jackie often wore button earrings: light, low-profile, discreet. According to the Wall Street Journal, there is a great return of button earrings. Although perhaps the authoritative American newspaper exaggerates when it defines the return of the round earring “the most unexpected new trend in jewelry”.
Who knows if it’s really unexpected. In any case, it is good to know some things about button earrings.

Watch your hair. Of course, the stud earrings are elegant and discreet. But it is useless to wear them if your hair covers them completely. If you have very thick and long hair it is perhaps best to choose larger earrings.

When to wear them. The answer is short: always. The stud earrings are perfect for important occasions, for ceremonies, for the evening, combined with the best clothes.

Careful with nickel. The stud earrings have a larger metal surface in contact with the ears than the ring ones. If you suffer from nickel allergies, make sure that the metal of the earrings does not contain this metal.

The shape of the face. While dangling or circle earrings are better suited to certain particular types of face, button earrings have the advantage of being able to be worn almost by anyone. But it is better to consider the effect of the earrings only if you have particularly large ears and pavilions that are not parallel to the head. In short, who has protruding ears.

Which earrings to choose. The gold ear studs are the classics, perfect for wearing on work occasions. Those with the pearl are more suitable for official occasions, ceremonies, anniversaries. But there are button earrings also with colored stones, suitable for evenings and cocktails, and with the gold of different colors. Finally, there are those who choose to wear them unpaired, different from one ear to another. It’s a fun idea that adapts to a young look and an unconventional atmosphere.

Daring Sarkisyan




The irresistible career in the jewelry store of Arman Sarkisyan ♦

If you have a few thousand dollars (or euro, does the same) and you want break free of desire to wear an exclusive jewel, you can consider the production of Arman Sarkisyan. It is one of the most popular designers of the moment, and perhaps not by chance: his creativity is the result of the Armenian blood flowing in his veins. Apparently, he tells that even his father, a jeweler with 53 years of profession, he looked at him with surprise when Arman has taken the first steps in the jewelry. His father taught him the secrets of the trade, and Arman did the rest. With some aspect to emphasize: for example, Arman uses gold to 22 carats, particularly softer than normally used in jewelry.

K/ller, jewels that challenges America




While in the US there are episodes of violence in schools and offices, the jewels with the K / ller brand, shock New York ♦

The name K / ller immediately recalls a thriller or a television series based on serial murderers and detectives. However the name is a fusion of the two designers: Katie DeGuzman and Michael Miller, former students of the Parsons School of Design in New York City. The K / ller Collection has, in any case, an aggressive style, rebellious, deliberately crude. Katie began her career in the world of jewelry when it bought a bracelet to hide a tattoo from maternal criticisms. So she met the partner with whom she started to work.

It is a transgressive couple: you can tell this even from the materials used. Ok, there is gold, but they also use oxidized metals, crude, and fish maw, arrowheads, horns, skin, stalactites, petals, porcupine quills and feathers. They say to merge a process of deconstruction with sculpture, decay and renewal, androgyny and femininity. Most of the pieces are handmade by Katie and Michael at the CFDA (a fashion incubator), a studio in downtown Manhattan. And so, this work like. Their brand is recognized globally and is sold by Helmut Lang, international flagship store. The jewelry is currently distributed in more than 50 outlets around the world.

The magic of Arunashi




Arunashi, the tradition of India, western design and colors of California (and a trunk show on Moda Operandi) ♦

He is an Indian of America. But true Indian, born in Jaipur in a family of jewelers for eight generations, though now working in California. Arunashi designs jewelery for modern maharaja, very little classics. He is, in fact, an Indian who does not follow too much of the traditions: his Maison at Berverly Hills, for example, is named Arunashi. The name comes from the synthesis between his name, Arun Bohra, and that of his wife, Ashita Shah.

Being grown up in a family that works in precious stones at least since 1841 (the first officially registered date) was of course an advantage: when he was a child he began playing with gems. The first diamonds sold them when he was ten, he tells now. Then, he moved to Tokyo, always in the business of trading gemstones. After ten years in Japan, he moved to America with his wife, first in New York and then in Los Angeles. The curious aspect is that, among all these trips, part of the processing of its jewels also takes place between Italy and Switzerland.
But the most interesting aspect is the personal style of the Indo-American jeweler. She loves the unmatched earrings, upside-down stones, unusual materials such as titanium, carbon fiber, and Corian. Besides, of course, colored stones with a strong personality and are used with equally strong creativity.

Since then he has never looked back and, after a few years won Le Bon Marché in Paris, as well as Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. It is not fine jewelry. It is a good jewelry, especially with ideas and a great portability. It’s modern design without being extravagant.

Satta Matturi in the kingdom of ancient Nubia




Expert in jewelry, professional in the diamond trade: Satta Matturi, British passport, founded the Maison that bears her name almost 20 years ago. But she decided to combine her experience with her commitment to enhance her African roots. It is an aspect of the great continent that is little known, commonly underestimated: the traditions of ancient cultures, combined with mineral resources ranging from gold to the most precious gems, are elements that have always been available to Western jewelers. And Satta Matturi combines European goldsmith skills with African icons.

An example is the Whispers of Meroë collection, the third by Matturi Fine Jewelery. These are jewels inspired by the lost Nubian kingdom of Kush and its stories of female power, resilience and opulence lost during ancient Egypt. The jewels, especially the earrings, are made of gold, layers of enamel and custom cut gems. The shapes refer to the more than 200 thin pyramids discovered in the Nubian capital of Meroë mixed with an Art-Deco style, deconstructed using linear shapes in rich 18-karat yellow and white gold. The jewels are enriched with triangular and round brilliant diamonds (of ethical origin), black onyx discs, pastel morganites, deep red rhodolites and golden pearls, which reflect the colors of the landscapes along the high Nile delta. Inside each piece of the collection is the eye of Horus, which symbolizes protection, royal power and (for those who believe in it) good health for the wearer.

How choose earrings




Each type of face must be paired with the right earrings. In this article we explain how to choose earrings and match them to the shape of your face ♦

If you plan to give as a gift a pair of earrings (maybe to yourself), think twice before you choose. Not only at the price (of course) and the shape of the jewel (also obvious), but also the kind of face that will accommodate earrings. Not enough that they are aesthetically beautiful when you look them when they are displayed in the store. And it’s not important only even that is just precious. Any form of the face, in fact, must be accompanied by earrings that are required to exploit the wearer. Here, then, four tips on how to match this kind of jewel.
Oval face. Who has expanded cheekbones and a narrow silhouette, with a face oval, it has greater ease in wearing almost any style of earring. But, in reality, are better the earrings not too long, but those that focus attention to the height of the mouth.
Round face. Women with face which tends to be close to a circle, will look better with a longer earrings, which stretch their lines. For example, earrings drop, make more slender contour of the face.

Heart-shaped face. Narrow chin, wide forehead: women with faces shaped heart-shaped earrings can opt for short and wide earings, with large volume, which helps to expand the part of the face that narrows too quickly.
Square face. Do you have a face with accentuated angles, very outlined? In this case you can choose earrings from the circular shape, a ring, which help to soften with the own curve the corners of the face.

Sharra Pagano, life is a theater

//




Sharra Pagano, over half a century of one of the historical Italian jewelery brands and still capable of innovating ♦

Fashion & Jewelry. Or, more correctly, Fashion & Bijoux: the Sharra Pagano brand is associated with the roaring years of Italian fashion, when labels such as Armani, Moschino, Versace were imposed. In 1969 Lino Raggio and Gianfranco Signori launched this brand that still plays with the theatricality of the jewel composed without using precious materials, but precious ideas. With resins, for example, and more rarely with amethysts, topazes, tourmalines, citrine quartz, aventurine, rock crystals, obsidian, garnets, pearls.

But in reality most of the fashion bijoux that have become part of history are glass, plastic and rhinestones. In addition to having collaborated (and still collaborate) with some of the great fashion brands and designers, such as Walter Albini, Enrico Coveri and Francesco Moschino, Sharra Pagano has played a role in the world of theater and lyrical music. Famous fans were the soprano Renata Tebaldi and the historic rival Maria Callas. The brand has always had a recognizable style: jewels with accentuated, showy, almost theatrical volumes, with a curious marriage between Baroque and Art Deco. Large necklaces, tiaras, chandelier earrings: they seem inspired by a life in the front row. They will not please those who want to go unnoticed, but those bijoux are loved from those who aspire to a life as a protagonist.

The company also produces jewelry for third parties: the turnover of licenses weighs 55% and that of the Sharra Pagano brand 45%. Today the brand is owned by Giuseppe Fredella, president of the Italian Fashion Jewelery Association. But the production is still entirely carried out in Italy, in the Milan laboratory, by expert craftsmen who, in some cases, are the children of those who started producing 50 years ago.

Maria Black for the Millenials




Simple, clean design, with some original touches here and there. Simple materials, affordable. And a simple, easy-to-remember name: Maria Black. The Copenhagen brand, together with those born under the sign of Nordic design, does not aim to amaze with special effects, but to present jewels with a precise identity, suitable for Millennials and those who have at least one tattoo on their body. In reality, this last prerogative is not necessary, but the kind of jewel is likely to appeal to the younger ones.

Lots of single earrings and piercings make up the bulk of Maria Black’s catalog, which is distributed by several online shopping sites. The jewels are in gold-plated silver, with the addition of freshwater pearls. But there are also 14-karat gold pieces with lab-created diamonds.
The Maria Black brand has such an easy-to-remember name that it suggests it’s a lucky marketing idea. But no: Maria Black founded her eponymous jewelry brand in 2010. She is a Danish-Irish woman, born in Copenhagen, with training in the workshop of a Danish master goldsmith, where she was an apprentice for four years, with intermittent training in specialized sectors at Copenhagen Technical College.

Geometrical Cadar




The geometries by Cadar: here is the Maison who won the Couture Design ♦ ︎

In 2016, Fashion Group International had named Cadar as the Rising Star of jewelery. And in 2017, the New York brand won the Couture Design Awards as Best in Gold at its second appearance in Las Vegas and in 2018 it was the turn of the Gold Design of the Year at the Town & Country Magazine Jewelry Awards. Where will goes the maison created by Michal Kadar, former fashion designer in Tel Aviv and art scholar, come? The designer’s second life in the Big Apple seems a triumphal march. But creating objects in three dimensions is not new to her. Her father was a sculptor and Michal picked up shells for him, that he then used for his works.

But her cultural background also includes the simplicity of Japanese tradition, the mystery of the North African desert and the Florentine Renaissance: not by chance a part of the processing of her jewels is made in Italy. Unlike other designers, the Cadar’s founder chose a rigorous and precise style: gold, with some small contour diamonds. But the geometry and the volumes of jewels are the ones that distinguish the style of the little Maison. Simple but very effective shapes, combined with the ability to create easily wearable jewels.

Federica Tosi queen of Rome




The jewels of the Roman designer Federica Tosi: Nina Zilli, Illary Blasi and … like them ♦ ︎

“Jewelry is the natural completion of the clothing collection,” explains Federica Tosi. And it is a common opinion that, in this case, has a different flavor. Because she is the designer of the clothing and jewelry lines that bear her name. Federica Tosi is one of the new names, but with several fans already, of Roman fashion. And it is one of the few cases of designers who deal with both the clothing line (she has presented his collections also at high fashion shows in Rome) and jewelry.

The rings, earrings and necklaces are in brass or silver bathed in rose, yellow and burnished gold. But behind the designer has the appreciation of a series of characters from the world of Italian entertainment, such as Nina Zilli, Ilary Blasi, Fiorella Mannoia, Laura Pausini, Rocío Muñoz Morales, Nicoletta Romanoff, Camilla Filippi, Lucia Mascino, Valentina Romani, Matilde Gioli and Stella Egypt. Federica Tosi’s career, she says, began by chance after a trip to the United States in 2006, where she discovered the art of composition with crystals, which she then used for her jewelry collections, now also sold from online stores such as LuisaViaRoma. After a period of professional growth, the Federica Tosi brand was born in 2016. But it has already been successful.

Baiyang on the fancy wire

The intricate draws of jewelry designed by Baiyang Qiu, a goldsmith of Chinese origin who works in the United States ♦

The roads of design run more and more globally: fantasy has no boundaries. And it does not even have Baiyang Qiu, a goldsmith of Chinese origin who works in the United States, in San Jose, California. Despite being active only for a few years, she has already received several awards (the latest at the Couture Show in Las Vegas 2016) and her work has been described in numerous publications, including the book «The Art of Jewelry: plastic and resin».

Baiyang Qiu has a very personal style: all the jewels are made using very fine gold or platinum, which form jewels that seem wrapped in a spider’s web. In order to make these jewels both light and strong, and to take surfaces of unprecedented curves, Baiyang uses a combination of traditional methods and new technologies. The design of such jewels, on the other hand, can only come first through software and special precision instruments. In short, the mechanics subject to the imagination, but capable of giving dreams and reflections that the normal craft work can not achieve. And also this is jewelry design.

The embroideries of Laurent Gandini

//




In Milan, a designer who follows the popular tradition of ex votos and interprets it in a refined way: Laurent Gandini ♦

The popular tradition, like that of ex-votos (precious objects that are found in Catholic churches for a grace received from some saint) is transformed into jewels: Laurent Gandini is a designer who loves the present looking to the past. He lives and works in Milan since 1990, with a style in contrast to the minimalism of many of his colleagues. Gandini takes inspiration from the folk tradition  but, of course, reworked to create very complex jewelry, which require a long and precise work. Symbols and myths have become metal embroidery, precious lace that make earrings, necklaces or rings.

They are not only related to the sacred environment, but also from profane superstition or, perhaps, the nineteenth-century iconography. It is almost obvious that such jewelry is the result of a work which is also anchored to the past, from the traditional manual realization, through the technique of lost wax. Farewell galvanization: here files are used on the metal, and the stones are popular ones, such as rock crystal. Prices: it depends on the version of the jewelry, if silver or gold. For example, a pair of earrings in silver filigree cost 350 Euros, while for the same model, but in gold, you go up to 1350 euro.
