Emoticons

The silver emoticons

/




The modular bracelets are for years one of the most popular choices: they are now also able to evoke emotions and messages with the emoticons. The idea of the designer Sandro Bessi, creator of the collection Argenesi Emoticons made in silver 925. The charms are in fact inspired by the icons used in the Facebook chat and WhatsApp to synthesize a state of mind. The designer, who decided to adopt the way of communication used by his daughter through his smartphone, has created 17 pieces, even in the golden version and rosé. Each item is marked with the brand Argenesi and has within it an innovative locking system, which allows you to attach it to the desired location along the bracelet. The bracelet is equipped with a system of clip closure. It is available also in ruthenium and in three sizes 17, 19 and 21 centimeters. Margherita Donato

Michele della Valle online with Sotheby’s




Sotheby’s organizes an online sale exclusively dedicated to the great artist-jeweler Michele della Valle. Who tells when Sophia Loren … ♦ ︎

He is one of the artists lent to jewelry that can boast a nucleus of enthusiasts spread all over the world. And, as someone who makes his own life to the art, creates only unique pieces. But, attention, what distinguishes Michele della Valle from others (few) eclectic jewel designers is the ability to combine exceptional creations with an equally exceptional sense of humor.
Proposed several times at Sotheby’s auctions, Michele della Valle from 21 September to 1 October 2018 will be super protagonist. The auction house, in fact, has planned the first online sale of jewelry created by Michele della Valle. The sale includes the designer’s pieces with different subjects, animals and nature, but also modern emojis. The jewels will be exhibited in Geneva in September. On the occasion of the event, Sotheby’s also took the opportunity to interview Michele della Valle. And the interview has reserved several surprises (the following sentences are extrapolated from the interview you find here.

“Many years ago my favourite gemstones were rubies and multicoloured sapphires. Today I no longer look at the value of a stone, but at its beauty. There are semi-precious stones that attract me and communicate strong emotions. I like color combinations and I don’t hesitate to surround a precious emerald with beautiful amethysts . Green and purple is a wonderful juxtaposition! ”
“As a gift a jewel must contain an explicit or non-explicit message. A brooch with the color of your loved one’s eyes for example; a heart-shaped pendant… I had the wonderful pleasure of giving Sophia Loren a small bracelet which spelt – with a line of diamonds and in Neapolitan dialect – the words “A GUAGLIONA CCHIU’ BELLA RO MUNNE” (the most beautiful girl in the world). Precisely what I think of her”.
“Jewelry must bring joy… The word gioia in Italian clearly says so! The same word stands for joy and for jewel as well. So yes it must bring joy and beautify those who wear it. This collection wants to demystify classical jewels, that nowadays can be very difficult to wear”.
“I built a necklace with leaves made of engraved blood jasper and diamonds, I used kunzite, a beautiful light pink stone, I combined some wonderful ruby baguettes to a briolette of pink quartz for some earrings, but I also used ebony wood set with diamonds for a necklace”.
“Despite my age, I am a boy at heart and am always interested in up to date and modern stimulations. When Sotheby’s suggested the project of an online sale, I was delighted to take up the challenge. I think web communication is such a big part of our present and probably of our future. The first piece I designed for this collection was the pin with the smile. Pavé of yellow diamonds for the face, diamonds for the teeth, ruby cabochon for the tongue and finally two hearts of rubies as eyes . Then the “Like” and the “Kiss” emojis came to mind”.
“To design and make a jewel, from conception to the finished object, typically it take three to four months, but there are more complicated (complex) jewels that can take up to a year of work”.

Pomi’s jewels, Vicenza brand that smiles at the Millenials trend with the smile’s rings ♦

Claudio Pomi, owner of the jewelery company that has his name, he emphasizes that her craft business is “all-male, but very attentive to the needs of the female universe.” Difficult to establish a strict link between the two issues, but the fact is that Pomi only produces jewelery for women. The brand is one of many who flock to the area around Vicenza and specializes in the production of rings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces and earrings through processing slab, cast, pressed, electroforming, as specified in the identity card of company. In any case, Pomi has cut its market niche. She was born in 2004, with the aim of “creating something that was recognizable, and only made by Pomi.” And the road appears linked to that of a patent: the Lapplesite, ie a special material created by a natural resin used to recompose natural powders ebony type, cocoa, coffee, turquoise, agate powders whose mechanical characteristics are such to allow various applications. This patent is applied, in particular, to the line of jewelry Silver (the other is the Gold Line). As the name implies, the Silver Line is entirely made of silver, handmade, “reproduces sculptures where hearts, circles, ovals, spirals are the background and frame to create earrings, jewelry necklaces and rings very original.” Lavinia Andorno
