Eugenie’s Venyx launches the Sos Terra

Collana in oro giallo e bianco, diamanti, azurmalachite

Saving nature means saving the Earth. The planet needs attention, solidarity, respect. And perhaps even the jewels can help raise awareness of those who still do not pay too much attention to the fate of the environment. These are the assumptions that prompted Venyx, the Eugenie Niarchos brand, to conceive its Mother Earth collection. That leaves no doubt: the jewels, which are mainly necklaces, depict the Earth, like small globes, made of 18-karat yellow and white gold, diamonds and azurmalachite, a natural stone that combines azurite and malachite. Blue and green, the colors of our planet. Another special piece, on the other hand, uses an opal sphere to represent the Earth, with a vaguely lunar effect.

Eugenie Niarchos, who is a trendsetter as well as a designer, worked in the fashion industry before diving into the world of jewelry. She studied at the Gemological Institute of America and worked in the Christie’s Fine Jewelry department. By the way, the name Venyx is a mix of the words Venus and onyx, onyx.

New jewels by the Greek designer Eugenie Niarchos and her Venyx, which also launched a collaboration also in the fashion industry ♦ ︎

Eugenie Niarchos and fashion designer Saloni Lodha return to work together (and it’s the second time). The duo’s new collection is called The Bond girl and is dedicated to all the women who feel like Ursula Andress and Grace Jones. But alongside this exploit, Eugenie Niarchos with her Maison Venyx continues to design jewelry.

Recently, for example, the Greek designer collaborated with Muzo creating a necklace in 18-karat yellow gold, with 18-carat of Muzo emeralds, fancy diamonds, tsavorites, amethysts, blue, pink and orange sapphires, opals, as well as 26.41 carats of emeralds. Or he designed pieces made of unusual materials, such as earrings made with mammoth ivory. The style is always the same: chic, ethereal, new age, with some elements reminiscent of the ancient culture of the Hellenic country, as in the pendant with marble insert from which emerges the profile of a face.

Those shoes are jewels

Shoes-jewel designed by five jewelry designers for Aquazzura: a strange experiment ♦ ︎

Gioiellis.com is a vertical site: it writes, that is, about only one topic, the jewels. For once, however, we make an exception, but only partially. Because we talk about Sabine Getty, Noor Fares, Eugenie Niarchos, Anissa Kermiche and Ana Khouri: all jewelry designers, all young, cute and full of creativity. All, however, were called to express their imagination with another type of accessory: shoes.

For Net-a-porter Edgardo Osorio asked the designers to design a pair of shoes for the Aquazzura brand.

In some cases, as was reasonable to expect, they are shoes that do not forget the main activity of the designer, that of jewelry. In other cases it is less experimental and more traditional shoes. The form, in short, also reflects the style that designers express with their jewels. For example, the Memphis Wave motif of Sabine Getty, which was made of crystals, with the perspex strap. Noor Fares, instead, preferred to focus on a special heel, covered with a pavé. But perhaps the shoe that is most noticeable is that of Anissa Kermiche with a heel made up of three gold and pearl hoops. Price: $ 1,152. Giulia Netrese

The Elementa collection by Eugenie Niarchos and her Venyx, now also in the middle of the Aegean ♦ ︎
She come from a dynasty of shipowners, and Eugenie Niarchos obviously loves the sea. As well as the jewels, that is. In mid-July, she opened a boutique of her Maison, Venyx, a name that is a fusion between the words Venus and onyx, in Mykonos (Cyclades Island, Greece), It was also the occasion to present his latest collection, entitled Elementa.
The name has a simple explanation: the designer was inspired by the four elements that in ancient times were thought to be the basis of life: earth, wind, fire and water. Eugenie used a stone to represent each element. In the first part of the Elementa collection, earrings and pendants with the shape of the sun are made of opal and other precious stones. A ring, in particular, Aruna, which inside the central stone is chiseled with a sun. The collection continues with the moon. In short, it is not necessary to follow a logical thread in all of this, but to observe the jewels and judge their shape, which certainly has its character, much appreciated. Several pieces of the collection are sold out. Giulia Netrese

The spiritual jewels of the Akash collection by Noor Fares.
Spiritual jewelry. But above all jewelry with personality. The new collection of Noor Fares, Akasha, is inspired by the symbols of Hinduism, as the Sri Yantra. The name comes from a word in ancient Sanskrit, the symbol used in meditation to balance and focus the mind. For the truth now will be in focus even a little ‘of female vanity. The geometric shapes of the collection using white diamonds, white topaz, iolite, green tourmaline, rubelite to draw triangles, circles and diamonds with a soft hypnotic effect. “Spirituality has always been a personal interest, I do a lot of research, I’m interested in different attributes of the stones,” said the Lebanese designer, but with atelier in London. Even if you are not particularly interested in doing meditation while are watching a ring or earrings, in any case, this collection can have a beneficial effect on the spirit, even if a bit ‘less on the portfolio (a pair of earrings costs about 9,000 Euros).
The collection inspired by Indian religious philosophy could also be the effect after a year of marriage: the designer, in fact, she married Alexandre Al Khawam, an entrepreneur in the field of art and finance. The ceremony, celebrated in Normandy, has had media coverage, in part because the party for the wedding was organized with great luxury and Arabic style in the family estate (the theme was One Thousand and One Nights). Many of the celebrities present, as Andrea Casiraghi, Beatrice Borromeo, Pierre Casiraghi, Eugenie Niarchos, Dana Alikhani, Margherita Missoni, Bianca Brandolini D’Adda, the designer Mary Katrantzou. Who knows if now they will buy the new jewelry collection. Lavinia Andorno

Eugenie Niarchos dives into the Oseanyx

Eugenie Niarchos deserts the earth and let Reptilia (her collection dedicated to reptiles), to dive into the sea with the third jewelery collection of the brand Venyx, named Oseanyx. A fantastic and whimsical underwater world, this is the key style of the Greek designer, inhabited by mysterious and hybrid creatures: there is an imaginary tiger-ray fish and the depth of the abysses is captured in detail the tail of the feline that looks like a Tribal accessory, the paw of the bear hunting fishes, shells symbol of Venus, which obviously have nothing of Botticelli’s classicism, but instead suggest tropical seas with multicolored stones. And, again, a golden parrot fish with a star between the fins. Because cosmos is one of the favorite themes of Niarchos, here too in this collection proposes star pendants earrings with Akoya pearls, and adds Lunoor, a half-moon with a human face as in fairy tales, originally designed for the wedding of her best friend Noor Fares, a jewelry designer too. Gold is never polished: brushed or rippled like waves or chiseled like the lunar seas. In short, the in Venyx’s universe there is no boundary between heaven, land and sea.
