Extraordinaire

Mosaic cocktail with Antonini




There were several extraordinary things that happened in 2022: from reprehensible events, such as the war in Ukraine, to moments of emotion due to the disappearance of great personalities, but also the exciting new images from space, the (almost) end of covid in many areas of the world, enthusiasm for the protection of the environment. In short, the world is extraordinary, for better or for worse. And jewelry can be extraordinary too. Indeed, if we are talking about Antonini Milano, Maison that has made design its flag, we must speak of Extraordinaire, a name that the creative director Sergio Antonini has provided to his line of high jewelry.

The upper surface of the ring is composed of a pavé of black diamonds. A pair of earrings with an elongated shape, like lanceolate leaves curved by the wind, is made with the same materials.

In the meantime, however, here is one of the new features that will be presented.

The new Extraordinaire jewels by Antonini

//





New unique pieces for Antonini, a Milanese brand that stands out for its rigorous and innovative jewelry design. In short, Antonini’s jewels are included in two lines: those of collections of large proportions and the one-of-a-kind gathered under the name of Extraordinaire. It is this a line of haute couture that every year is enriched with new jewels out of the ordinary. While not giving up the classic lines, with a clean design, these jewels focus on the uniqueness of the stones used.

They are jewels personally designed by the creative mind of the brand, Sergio Antonini, starting from extraordinary precious stones chosen by expert gemologists. For 2020, for example, the Extraordinaire line includes a shiny yellow gold necklace, choker, with a simple square-cut 17-carat emerald in the center. A simple but effective idea. Also with emeralds are a pair of earrings and a ring in satin pink gold and diamonds. Finally, earrings with sapphires arranged in the typical irregular pavé that characterizes Antonini’s jewels.

Antonini presents new pieces, with pearls, of the Extraordinaire haute couture line ♦ ︎

With small steps in haute couture. These are the ones performed by Sergio Antonini, designer of the Milanese brand of the same name, who adds new pieces to the Extraordinaire collection every year. Little at a time. On the one hand there are the variations on the theme of the pavé, with concave rings that host precious stones of different sizes and with an apparently casual disposition. For example, the leaf-shaped pendant with emeralds presented at VicenzaOro September is added to this series.

On the other hand, there are also pieces with a different style, such as a ring and a necklace with a pendant that recall almost a Victorian era, but updated with a modern design. The two new jewels that are added to the Extraordinaire line are made of black rhodium-plated gold, in which lines of small diamonds are set, and with a large white pearl. Unique pieces, like the others from the Maison’s top line.

Antonini, luxury is green

Earrings with 12 emeralds by Antonini and other Extraordinaire jewels made with the green gem ♦ ︎

One thing is certain: green is an extraordinary color. It is the hue of the leaves, of the woods, of the forests. But also some sea beds, many foods and, last but not least, emeralds. Perhaps this is why Antonini has dedicated some pieces of his Extraordinaire line to this precious stone.
This is the haute couture production of the Milanese Maison. These are unique pieces that every year Sergio Antonini combines with other collections. Sophisticated design and particularly fascinating stones are the ingredients of these jewels.

For example, a pair of earrings with 12 round-cut emeralds, ending with a rhodium-plated white gold pendant covered with diamonds, is the latest Extraordinaire creation.

And that the emerald is one of the stones that most stimulate the designer of the Milanese house is witnessed by the fact that other haute couture jewels use the green gem. Like the ring that has a cushion-cut emerald in the center, surrounded in turn by a surface covered by other small emeralds, a mosaic that seems to have come directly from the forests of the Amazon.

A few more pieces of Antonini’s Extraordinaire line presented at the Couture Show in Las Vegas ♦ ︎

New unique pieces by Antonini. They are jewels of the Extraordinaire line, which the Milanese Maison has also presented this year at the Couture Show in Las Vegas. The extra pieces at the most important event organized in the USA, high-end jewelry made to measure of the selected stones, are now a classic for the brand of creative director Sergio Antonini. Even if unique pieces, however, the new rings and necklaces do not deviate from what is the stylistic signature, with pavé with stones of irregular size, as in the tested Etna or Matera collections. In addition, however, extraordinaire stones are used, such as the large sugar loaf-cut emerald. Extra pieces also three necklaces with pearls in white or yellow gold, earrings and ring always with emerald set in the center, with oval cut or cushion. Lavinia Andorno

Antonini Extraordinaire again

//




The unique pieces of Extraordinaire, the haute couture line by Antonini ♦ ︎
What is not usual, though precious, is Extraordinaire. The philosophy of Antonini, in fact, has for some time alternated collections such as Syracuse or Etna in unique pieces, which obviously present the same design style, but constitute separate jewels. In VicenzaOro January, for example, Sergio Antonini, creative mind of the Maison in Milan, presented a new sortie of this non-collection. The haute couture line includes jewels in yellow gold or white satin, in which are emeralds of different cuts and sizes, placed on a concave surface. Or rings with a rough diamond in the center surrounded by other smaller whites. It’s Extraordinaire also a necklace adjustable in length with emeralds set in gold this time shiny. The two black laces end with small pyramids made with a pavé of diamonds. Unique pieces, in fact, like small planets that about once a year enter the orbit of the jewelry brand to transit in a fleeting apparition.

I pezzi unici di Extraordinaire la linea haute couture di Antonini ♦︎

Quello che non è abituale, seppure prezioso, è Extraordinaire. La filosofia di Antonini, infatti, da tempo alterna collezioni come Siracusa o Etna a pezzi unici, che presentano ovviamente lo stesso stile di design, ma costituiscono gioielli a se stanti. A VicenzaOro January, per esempio, Sergio Antonini, mente creativa della Maison di Milano, ha presentato una nuova sortita di questa non-collezione. La linea di haute couture comprende gioielli in oro giallo o bianco satinato, in cui sono incastonati smeraldi di diversi tagli e dimensioni, posti su una superficie concava. Oppure anelli con al centro un diamante grezzo circondato da altri più piccoli bianchi. Sempre Extraordinaire è una collana regolabile in lunghezza con smeraldi incastonati in oro questa volta lucido. I due lacci neri terminano con piccole piramidi realizzate con un pavé di diamanti. Pezzi unici, appunto, come piccoli pianeti che circa una volta l’anno entrano nell’orbita del brand di gioielli per transitare in una fugace apparizione.

Antonini white version

Antonini in white with a ring to remain still Extraordinaire.
Here is the image of the new single piece of Antonini Extraordinaire collection, which was presented to VicenzaOro. It is a ring made of natural white gold, with white diamonds (totaling 1.97 carats) round and rosette cut The ring is added to the collection Mosaici presented a year ago and that includes jewelery in diamonds and natural sapphires of different colors. Its peculiarity is the different diamonds, rosette and round cut, and of different sizes: this incoherence creates a concave surface with a thousand facets that absorb and reflect around the large central rosette a diamond never the same light. The name of the line of these jewels, which also includes a pendant, is indicative: they are creations not duplicated, numbered, certified, personally designed by Sergio Antonini. The price of this ring is 18,000 euro.

Extraordinaire Antonini

The Collection Extraordinaire by Antonini is enriched with new creations. The name of the line of these jewels is indicative: the pieces are not duplicated, and are numbered, certified, designed personally by Sergio Antonini. New features include the capsule collection Mosaics, which includes four cocktail ring with diamonds and sapphires and a pendant with a black braided chain. Antonini emphasizes the creative character of the pieces: rings have a concave rose gold surface, matt and polished by hand. Inside this little recess is a diamond champagne pavé, where are placed natural sapphires. The effect is of a bright basin in which float small islands colored. The pendant and a ring are made with the use of sapphires of various sizes blue and blue on a structure in white gold matt natural. The second ring includes intense pink sapphire, the third green and blue sapphires. Then there is the Mosaic Diamonds, a ring with a pavé diamond with 113 silver mist of varying sizes and more 20 largest diamonds rose cut. “For these rings I worked with curved surfaces and a base of cobblestones to emphasize the beauty of pastel-colored sapphires. The result is incredible, their color changes with the different angles of light. I experimented with different finishes of gold, using the rhodium black under the pavé diamonds and gold opaque in its natural color, “says Sergio Antonini. These jewels were presented in preview at the Russian press in early October in the boutique Antonini in Moscow Smolensky Passage. And they are now available to international audiences. M.d.B.
