Filigree jewelry with Filienna

Jewelery made with the filigree technique: enthusiasts of the genre can find what they are looking for in the Filienna brand from New York. The name has a distant origin: it is inspired by the Latin word Filia, which means daughter. Ana Martins, founder and creative director of the brand, used this origin to indicate the direct relationship with filigree, a technique that was once much more used than today in jewellery, and with the word henna or henna, color applied as an art form and expression associated with body art, widespread in Eastern countries. From the union of these two words, here is Filienna.

On the other hand, Ana Martins also uses words professionally, because alongside her jewelry business she also founded a lively public relations agency based in Manhattan. A creative and multi-tasking woman, in short.
Filienna uses filigree jewelry in four variations of 14k gold: pink, yellow, white and with black rhodium. The new collection takes up one of the brand’s most iconic and best-selling models: the Heart Statement earrings, in 14k rose gold.

Since the beginning, Filienna jewelry collectors have asked for solid gold filigree pieces, especially our best sellers like the Heart Statement Earrings. Our new gold pieces stay true to our bohemian heart while offering a luxurious new interpretation of our versatile filigree jewelry designs.
Ana Martins, founder of Filienna

Jewels which, with their heart shape, can be appreciated on Valentine’s Day, but not only. The perforated filigree design ensures lightness and ease for the wearer. Among the intricate designs of the watermark you can spot the “f” logo, the initial letter of Filienna. Each new Filienna gold piece of jewelry, including the new 14K Personalized Heart Statement Earrings, are made to order, with an approximate lead time of four to six weeks for delivery after an initial deposit.

The new jewels of Caterina Murino




While acting on the stage of the Théâtre de la Madeleine in Paris, where the comedy Le Tourbillon was scheduled, Caterina Mourino did not stop taking care of her second profession: jewelry design. After making her debut in 2017 with a collection centered on coral (we talked about it here) her creative vein has expanded to other forms of jewelry. But without forgetting what was the starting point of her brand Caterina Murino Jewellery: the actress’s collections are always made in her native land, Sardinia.

Jewels, for example, often use the traditional filigree technique, with gold threads intertwined to form the design of necklaces, rings, bracelets or brooches. And next to the coral, the actress-designer has added the traditional ingredients of the jewelry menu: gold, diamonds, semi-precious stones. The Caterina Murino Jewelery brand also supported the Stand Up for African Mothers campaign, which aims to raise funds to train midwives in Africa.

Vittorio Cenzi in the tradition

/





Gold finished in the tradition of Vicenza jewelery: it is the philosophy of Cenzi Vittorio ♦ ︎
Among the many jewelery companies that crowd the area around Vicenza, Cenzi Vittorio, founded in 1960 by Vittorio Cenzi, represents a classic story. Born in the years of the economic boom, it has consolidated by marrying craftsmanship with industrial production. He has produced and still produces jewels for third parties, the private label of jewelery.

But Carla and Franca Cenzi, who continued their father’s business, added alsothrough jewelery lines with the brand My Vice (accessories prêt à porter) and My Cleo (which according to the company evokes Cleopatra), constantly renewed for update the taste and the contemporary style. The processing of gold, with complicated and elaborate decorations, with the finely worked metal and with the use of the filigree technique represent the characteristics of the company activity.

The romantic filigree of Allgold




The romantic story of AllGold, from the Italian province to the international market ♦ ︎
The story begin (almost) always just with little or nothing. But when the talent and the passion are there, then it happens that it goes on, up to goals that no one would have imagined. Like the story started in 1951, in a city of the Marche province, with Oscardo Aguzzi. A child who unfortunately became deaf at the age of three. A handicap that, however, became the main resource of Oscardo, who developed a special artistic sensibility. And it was therefore the special creative spirit that convinced the owner of the oldest goldsmith workshop in Fossombrone to take on the apprentice the young Oscardo to the Artisan Factory Orafa Bordoni Alfio.

The talent of the young goldsmith then manifested itself with the winning of the first prize at the Goldsmith Exhibition S. Eligio of Milan, a very popular competition at the time. The story continued with the casual specialization in the technique of filigree (thanks to a goldsmith from Senegal). It is one of the most difficult goldsmith techniques, but Oscardo has learned to master.

The story, very romantic, has continued with the younger brother of Oscardo, Giorgio, who has joined his brother, for a certain period seriously ill. Having found an affinity, the Aguzzi brothers, Oscardo and Giorgio, have opened their first goldsmith workshop together in Fossombrone. The business grew rapidly, the two brothers in the eighties gave birth to the AllGold brand.
In the year 2000, Flavio Gregorio Topi joined the two: from talented apprentice to an entrepreneur. Since then, the company has reaped international successes and awards, exhibitions and prizes. Between Harrods in London and the Rockefeller Center in New York, passing from India, AllGold has conquered an international stage. And the story is not over yet.

Also in this case, of course, the jewels do not abandon the style of the New York-based Maison: the silver filigree workmanship with the addition of natural pastel colored stones and pearls. Thus, earrings, rings and necklaces are in perfect nuance with the seasonal pantone colors: neo mint, purist blue, cantaloupe, cassis and mellow yellow, between shapes inspired by flowers or butterflies flying in the spring air.

New silver filigree jewels from Fantasia collection by Yvone Christa, with natural stones and small pearls ♦ ︎

The silver filigree of Yvone Christa New York is back, the mark of the two Swedish designers working in the American city. At VicenzaOro January the small and lively Maison decided to present the Fantasia Collection. An imagination that has as its subject an exotic landscape: atolls and waters of the Caribbean, with flowers and tropical plants.

The collection created with the technique of filigree includes rings, pendants, earrings, collier, with natural stones with shaded hues, cubic zirconia as well as some bead.

That the jewels of Yvone Christa remember those places with warm temperatures and crystal clear sea is a suggestion. Certainly the style is the usual one of the brand, which uses the ancient Venetian filigree technique, with thin threads of gold and silver that form airy and light textures. Prices are on average under 200 euros, up to about 400 for pieces with stones like aqua lemuria, blue or green gem that comes from the island of Sumatra. Giulia Netrese

Watermarks from the Hoops Retrò collection by Yvone Christa New York ♦ ︎

VicenzaOro September is an opportunity to launch the new winter collections. This is the case of Yvone Christa New York, a brand that presents the new Hoops Retrò line at the Vicenza Fair. As the name of the collection indicates, these are jewels designed on the timeless idea of the circle. The two designers of Swedish origin, Yvone and Christa, who founded the jewelery brand 30 years ago, still offer their style based on the use of filigree, silver, crystals, pearls and natural stones. Elements that make light and airy jewelry, even when the volume of the individual pieces tends to widen. The style of Hoops Retrò also winks at the fashion of the past, with the proposal of earrings and necklaces vaguely Belle Epoque. Lavinia Andorno

An Edelweiss for Yvone Christa

To the Edelweiss is dedicated the new collection made in silver filigree by Yvone Christa.
The duo of Yvone and Christa, at VicenzaOro January has designed a new collection. It is dedicated to a flower rare and threatened from extinction: the edelweiss. The Edelweiss line is inspired by the simplicity of nature, but perhaps also to the delicate balance that is established in the relationship with the man, or in this case, with the woman. The technique is always the one tested by the brand led by the two Swedish designers transplanted to New York: the subtle and complex silver filigree with which are woven jewelry. But, in this case, there is with a variant in addition: the collar necklace, a mini silver filigree sculpture paired with a leather ribbon. The silver embroidery is in some cases combined with pearls or colored crystals, pastel tones. A jewel that has an air a little ‘vintage, to be combined with a romantic outfits. Giulia Netrese

Eleuterio filigree

The complex filigree jewelry of gold and diamonds by Eleuterio, a Portuguese brand That uses this technique goldsmith antique.
Around the World on the watermark. It’s something like this the story of Eleuterio, a brand born in Portugal in 1925 by Eleuterio Antunes. The filigree technique is ancient and difficult: to maintain this tradition goldsmith, especially at a high level, as in the case of Eleuterio is even commendable. The goldsmith filigree technique originated over 5,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, where the ancient Sumerians wove the golden threads to realize complex and light fabrics and jewelry. From the Middle East, by sea, this way of interpreting the jewelry came up on Portuguese coast and is now kept alive by two grandsons of the founder, Luis Antunes, and the creative director Rosa Antunes. Thin wires like hair intertwine to form bracelets, pendants and rings. The jewelry can remember certain complex geometric patterns of the Arab cultures, but Also flowers and figures. Among other things, Eleuterio jewels in 2016 have had a place of honor to the sophisticated Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève: especially the Couture collection, with a necklace made with 177 diamonds. As well as in Portugal, the brand is present Also in Russia. Lavinia Andorno
