How to disinfect earrings




Is it necessary to disinfect the earrings? And, if so, what is the best way to disinfect earrings? Many women (but also many men) wonder if a quick refresh is enough or if it is really necessary to disinfect the earrings. Let’s try to find out in this article. But let’s anticipate the answer: yes it is necessary to disinfect the earrings often. There are, however, different ways to get earrings that are clean, microbe-proof and, above all, safe for the wearer. Because the earrings are a much loved jewel, but they can reserve some pitfalls and even cause infections (in addition to allergies. Read also: What to do if the earrings cause allergy).

When should earrings be sterilized?
If you wear them often, it would be a good idea to sterilize the earrings at least once a week. The reason is simple: even if they don’t appear dirty, earrings can hide dangerous bacteria. On the other hand, the earrings are located near the hair, which can attract dust, dandruff, sweat: a fun fair for bacteria. But before sterilizing the earrings, remember to wash your hands well.

How to sterilize earrings
Method 1. Don’t worry: the simplest system, which works in most cases, is to clean the earrings by immersing them in a bowl of soapy water (never in the sink, sooner or later you will lose them!), Or a couple of drops of dish soap. The jewels are left in the bath for about ten minutes and then rinsed. But if the earrings are dirty or have not been washed for a long time, leave them to soak longer, even a couple of hours. If the earrings have an elaborate shape, a soft-bristled toothbrush can also be used to gently scrub the less accessible metal parts. This is the general rule. But it doesn’t apply to all earrings.

Method 2. Another method for sterilizing earrings is simply by using a cotton swab or microfiber cloth soaked in denatured alcohol or hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide). After cleaning all parts of the earrings, rinse them thoroughly in water and dry them with a cloth. This system has the advantage of being fast: you can sterilize the earrings just before wearing them.

Method 3. This way of disinfecting the earrings is less precise than the previous ones, but on the other hand it is still quite effective and, above all, it can be used when cooking. Immerse the earrings in a tea or coffee cup filled with warm water (warm, not hot) in which you have dissolved half a teaspoon of salt. Leave to soak for about ten minutes. Do not overdo it with salt, a little is enough. Rinse and dry. This system is used in particular for piercings.
Things to watch out for
• Pearl earrings are very delicate. Too vigorous washing can damage pearls: use only a drop of neutral soap and dry with a soft cloth. Same goes for the coral.
• Earrings with some types of stones can be damaged more easily. Pay attention to stones such as opal or agate, which are particularly soft and can get scratched if rubbed too hard.
• Always check the cleanliness of the hook that slips into the lobe or the locking pin: these are the areas where bacteria can nest and should be cleaned more carefully.

Rosato with cube colors

///




Founded in 2004 by Simona Rosato, the eponymous brand has always focused on pendants to add to bracelets and necklaces. With the purchase by the Bros Manifatture group in 2011, the range of jewels offered by Rosato has expanded to include rings, bracelets and earrings. But without forgetting new collections of charms. Now, however, Rosato offers a completely different line, which uses silver in its natural color, or with a PVD rose gold plating. But not only that: the jewels of the Cubica collection stand out for their very geometric design, completely abstract compared to the pendants.

The name Cubica has a double reference. In fact, it alludes to the precise geometries of the jewels, composed of small elements with a squared volume, but also to the use of cubic zirconia, synthetic stones with the appearance of a crystal, which increase the brilliance of the jewel. Soft band bracelets, band rings and small or long wire earrings, together with silver necklaces make up the collection, which is well suited to even unconventional clothing.

Comets of aquamarine

//




Summer and the sea are a de facto couple. And the aquamarine goes perfectly with this season, even if it certainly doesn’t clash at other times of the year. In any case, Comete Gioielli offers a line dedicated to aquamarine that can combine a classic style reserved for special moments in life with more informal clothing. Aquamarine, in fact, is a stone that adapts well to all occasions. The jewels proposed by Comete from the Aquamarine Fantasia collection also have another peculiarity: the stones use the so-called antique cut.

In jewelry, the stones classified with this particular method of processing are usually diamonds that have a smoothing of the corners and edges. The aquamarine stones used in the collection therefore have a so-called cushion shape, square and soft at the same time. The stones are set in 18-karat white gold and surrounded by small G-colored diamonds. The jewels in the collection include rings, necklaces with pendants and earrings.

The little works of Gabriella Rivalta




Handcrafted bijoux, hand-painted pendants, fairy tale book fantasies: Gabriella Rivalta’s new jewels

In Cascina Centofinestre, an old renovated rural building in the heart of Piedmont, in Monferrato, Gabriella Rivalta revives those atmospheres found in those places where traditions are jealously cultivated. White lace tablecloths, a candelabra, a solid wood table: if you like vintage style, popular culture, almanacs and glass jars with candies inside, you will be fascinated by the small Gabriella Rivalta jewels.

Except that in this case his creations are not only the result of a taste for the jewel of a century ago, but a graft between a popular style, made of angels and flowers, with an artisan creativity, which composes each piece with patience, skills and an inexhaustible series of variations on the theme. From this working method it also follows that each piece is something that is unique. There may be similar jewels, but not the same. Also because the miniatures, which are the heart of the jewels, are made up of experts who paint the individual pieces that are joined to chains and supports in gold. Finally, to protect the small works, it is spread over a transparent enamel. The result is necklaces, pendants, rings: small works of art to wear.

From Vhernier earrings for Aladdin




Aladdin is a character who is part of the folk tales in the East. The best known is the one contained in the Thousand and One Nights, although not everyone knows that the fable with the 40 thieves was not part of the original text, but was added to the collection by the Frenchman Antoine Galland, who transcribed a folk tale by the narrator Syrian Maronite Hanna Diyab. All this magic serves to introduce Aladdin, a ring that is part of Vhernier’s Trasparenze line.

The novelty is that new earrings are added to the collection. The jewels, rings and earrings, are made of rose gold, with jade, lapis lazuli, turquoise or mother of pearl, associated with rock crystal. The processing makes the jewel opaque and semi-transparent. But, alongside the refined proposal of materials, the jewels of the collection stand out for their clean, soft, delicate design, in perfect Vhernier style, a Maison that is famous for its jewels suitable for women with a sophisticated taste.

PdPaola extends the fine jewelry collection

//




One year after its debut in the fine jewelry category, the Spanish brand PdPaola is expanding its collection, which uses 95% of the jewels in the collection of recycled gold. Combined with 18-karat gold, they are lab grown diamonds, that is, created by man through complicated procedures, but from a chemical point of view very similar to those extracted from the earth. With the second release of the PdPaola collection, it introduced rigid bracelets, solid gold chain necklaces and ear piercings, again with diamonds.

The idea of ​​adding a higher level collection to affordable jewels must have been appreciated by buyers, given that the Maison expects to increase its turnover, which in 2021 was almost 30 million euros. The brand expects to close 2022 with a turnover of 52 million and, in addition, announces that it will continue to focus on its international expansion with the opening of new stores and flagship stores.

Little H’s sandwich pearls

//




Pearls that hide rubies or emeralds: the jewels of Little H are really different from the others ♦ ︎
The cult of pearls originated in Japan, but not all Japanese consider pearls as an untouchable symbol of the perfection of nature. Pearls can be used, worked, opened, excavated, modified: and that’s what Hisano Shepherd does. Born in Japan, but growing up between Tokyo and Los Angeles, where she resides today, the designer began designing jewelry as a girl. “My grandmother took me to the Takarazuka theater, a female theatrical group and wore her most precious jewels. In particular, I remember his emerald engagement ring and cocktail rings with opals”, says Hisano Shepherd.

His contact with jewelry began with the study of goldsmithing techniques during high school and then with specializations between Los Angeles and New York. She then started to practice in a repair and polishing workshop for a fashion jewelry producer, until she focused his creative path and founded his Maison, Little H. Today she works mainly with pearls, round or baroque. But in an absolutely original way: the spherical fruit of the oysters is worked up to house rubies, sapphires and emeralds. They are sea pearls or freshwater pearls, perfectly round or with irregular volume, white or colored. And maybe split in half. A collection, for example, is called Pearl Geode, for which it has also filed a patent application.

The jewels of Bali 1987




Bali1987: the brand name can evoke a past of travel, exotic beaches, oriental charm. But, in reality, Bali1987 has nothing to do with all this: the small jewelry Maison is based in Bergamo (Italy) and was born from the initiative of the jewelry designer Leila Bali and Mara Cividini, with a degree in architecture. To tell the truth, there is a bit of foreign flavor in the brand: Leila Bali was born in Rome, from a Roman mother and an Armenian-Lebanese father, while Mara Cividini dealt with real estate but also with art in Los Angeles and then in London at Christie’s auction house. For the rest, the jewelry brand has been from Bergamo since the year of its foundation, indicated in the name itself.

The rounded world of Susana Vega




She was born in Venezuela but lives and works in Houston, Texas. If Susana Vega started creating jewelry, however, it is because she observed the work of her father, an established goldsmith, from an early age. In 2008, Susana attended the Industrial Design and Art course at the University of Los Andes, in Mérida, Venezuela. Instead, she learned the ability to create jewelry at home and in 2015, she moved to the United States, where she created her own brand. And she has created a very personal style of hers, a fashion jewelry with rounded and consistent volumes.

Earrings, rings and bracelets are composed of small porcelain tiles, glass beads, semiprecious stones, golden threads, while the jewel is made of 24 carat gold plated brass. What matters, however, is not the material with which the jewels are made, but the original shape with which they are presented. So much so that in a few years Susana Vega, almost the same name of the musician very popular in the eighties and nineties, has landed up to the large online marketplaces.

Lalique, the name still counts




Lalique collections are again ready for fans of one of the great names of the jewelery history  ♥
Death and resurrection. Or, if you like it more: a good revival. The history of the Lalique brand goes back more than a century and a half ago, namely on April 6, 1860, the birth date of René Jules Lalique. One of the greatest designers, but the term is very reductive, which marked an era and, incidentally, the Belle Epoque, in Paris and in the jewelery. His creations had as their subject, above all, natural elements, animals and women, with the style of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

Lalique was not only an expert in gold and precious stones, but also a glassmaker and object designer. He worked for Cartier, designed jewels for Sarah Bernhardt and was a star of the 1900s Universal Exhibition in Paris. In 1945, his company, which had expanded its activity to crystal objects, was pursued to A bit from his nephew, Marie-Claude.

The multiculture of Nana Fink

The new jewelry collection by Nana Fink, from Switzerland to Los Angeles, via London and Beirut ♦ ︎
From old Europe a stone’s throw from Hollywood, Los Angeles. But the path of Nana Fink is different from the usual one of many other designers for another reason: as a girl, the designer has studied clinical psychology and management in Basel and Zurich. Then, she completed his PhD in the field of maternal health. In short, she started working for science as a researcher at Harvard Medical School. What does this have to do with jewelry? Only Nana Fink has the answer.

But perhaps it is precisely the mix of science, art and culture that has stimulated creativity. The result is, in any case, an international success, given that her jewels are sold in Los Angeles in the Paul Smith flagship store, as well as in Basel, Beirut or Sankt Moritz, in London as well as in Tinos, Greece.
Even the style testifies to a transversal spirit, able to cross different experiences, between modern lines and icons of the classical age. Like the jewelry proposed for the 2018 season, made exclusively by hand, in Switzerland.

Villa Milano lights up summer with Lumen




Villa Milano is a jewelery shop founded in 1876 by Benvenuto Villa, goldsmith, sculptor and alchemist, who exhibited his jewels and sculptures at the great World Expositions of the time. Now, now in its fifth generation, it continues to be one of the most refined Maison in the city. It is famous, in particular, for its large production of cufflinks. But it would be unfair to neglect jewelry production. For example, summer 2022 marks the arrival in the catalog of two new jewelry lines: Lumen and Botanic. We will talk about the latter in another article. Here we are dealing with Lumen instead.

Anelli in alluminio, oro e diamanti della linea Lumen

Even if, as mentioned, the roots of Villa Milano lie in a past of 150 years, the brand does not give up on offering jewels of contemporary design and conception. This is the key to reading the Lumen line, made up of rings and earrings in aluminum, white gold and precious stones. Aluminum is a material recently rediscovered by several jewelers, but not everyone knows that until the beginning of the twentieth century it was considered a precious metal. Today it is used for its ease of processing and for the possibility of being interpreted with bright colors, as in the case of the Lumen line: fern green, royal blue, fuchsia, or more muted like old rose up to red. The jewels are also enriched with diamonds, sapphires, rubies.

Christina Alexiou on the moon

//




On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 was the space flight to land a man on the moon. Commander Neil Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle and Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the Moon’s surface. A historic moment for humanity and an important date for jewelry as well. Celebrating that event is now the collection that Christina Alexiou presented at the Couture in Las Vegas.

Bracciale de Lunar Eclipse, in oro, diamanti, zaffiri
Bracciale de Lunar Eclipse, in oro, diamanti, zaffiri

The collection consists of earrings, rings, necklace and bracelets but, above all, translates the surface of our satellite into jewels. Slightly irregular gold spheres, with lunar craters composed of precious stones: white or brown diamonds, but also blue and pink sapphires, emeralds peek out from the surface of the Moon in a jewel version. In some pieces, in addition to the lunar spheres, the classic shape of the crescent is also used, which perhaps the astronauts have never seen, but those who wear the jewels do.

Alison Lou’s new amusements




She hasn’t lost her irreverence, which has translated into a pop style, with the now famous emoticon jewels. But Alison Chemla, founder and designer of the New York brand Alison Lou, has also decided to introduce more classic jewels, alongside those that represent a box of fries or a small robot. Although, in reality, the hoop earrings in 14-karat gold, with sapphires or other pavé stones, are mainly used to be connected to the new pendants.

This does not mean, however, that they cannot be worn alone. Alison Lou became famous for her debut collection, Emoticore. Then, the line has evolved to include collections based on other themes, such as Casino and Secret Garden or Mama Mia, conceived after a summer trip to Italy: the collection is made up of designs inspired by favorite pastas: farfalle, penne and spaghetti. Then came the signet rings, necklaces, pendants and hoop earrings, with diamonds or enamel, also worn by Emily Ratajkowski, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Gigi Hadid, Tracee Ellis Ross, Celine Dion.

Unoaerre in color with Holi

///




Holi is a traditional festival held in India, but also in other countries where there is a strong Hindu presence, and is also known as the Spring Festival or Festival of Colors. The festival of Holi celebrates the eternal and divine love of Radha Krishna and the triumph of good over evil. But it is also an opportunity to play and laugh, forget and forgive. The party lasts one night and one day and those who participate throw (harmless) colors with water guns and balloons. Play and struggle with colors occurs in open streets, parks, outside temples and buildings. Introduction necessary to explain the name of the Unoaerre collection called Holi.

The company from Arezzo (Italy), which is famous for its production of gold jewelry, chooses in this case a fashion jewelery style, which focuses entirely on shape and color. The jewels offered, in fact, are made of bronze dipped in gold, with the addition of colored shades of enamels that make the line very lively, as well as at affordable prices. A few examples: the earrings with a rose gold bath, pendant link and black and white enamel, are offered for 69 euros, the gilded bronze ring with light and dark orange enamel for 54 euros, the bracelet with a T-bar closure. 99 euros.

New Anniversary of Recarlo with the Taper line

//




Anniversaries related to love are, perhaps, the most traditional occasion to give a jewel. For this reason, the Recarlo Anniversary Love collection continues over the years to propose new variations on the theme of the jewel linked to the story of a couple. Although not necessarily young. The novelty for 2022 is called the Taper Line, which uses the heart-cut diamond, which is the distinctive element of the Anniversary Love collection, which is combined with the geometries of the taper cut and the baguette cut. For those who are not experts, it is worth remembering that the taper cut refers to the trapezoidal shape, that is, a kind of rectangle with one side shorter than the other, while the baguette shape provides a stone with a perfectly rectangular surface.

These two shapes coexist together in the collection to form clusters that offer a pleasant contrast between the soft heart cut and the geometric volumes of the taper and baguette cut diamonds. The creation of the jewels by the Maison of Valenza is equally sophisticated. The heart diamond ring used as a solitaire and held in place by only three prongs.

Clip High Jewelry with Gismondi 1754

//




How many things can you do with a paper clip? In an office several. But even in jewelry the shape of the clip can give life to many dreams. As in the case of the Clip collection launched just a year ago by Gismondi 1754 and which now arrives at the launch at the Couture in Las Vegas in a version of high jewelery. The shape is always the same: a double line in pink or white gold that folds back on itself and matches the end. In short, a soft but, above all, precious staple. Even in the ideal concept behind the collection: something that unites without losing the single individuality as it is (or should be) in couple relationships.

The new version, Clip High Jewelry, maintains the style of the Genoese Maison of ancient roots (as the name indicates), with the addition of precious stones such as white or fancy diamonds, emeralds and pink sapphires, offered in different combinations. Rings, bracelets and earrings are thus added to the flagships of the line, high jewelery necklaces and earrings presented months ago and with top-of-the-range prices (126,000 and 60,000 euros respectively). On the other hand, at the recent DJWE 2022 in Doha, the Genoese company concluded direct sales for 615,000 euros, including a gold and diamond ring for 240,000 euros, a set consisting of a necklace, earrings and a ring of 200,000 euros and a necklace from Abbraccio collection for 134,000 euros.
