The interesting summer of Merci Maman

Published on July 10, 2021

La collana Duchessa, ispirata a quella indossata da Kate Middleton

The idea is original: a summer campaign starring a future mother who is part of the team. The Merci Maman campaign aims to convey vitality and optimism for a new life to come and to celebrate a long-awaited summer. The collection, also sold online, is very simple and includes the popular double ring on the flat bracelet and the pearl necklace. Merci Maman is a brand founded in 2007 by Béatrice de Montille, who created her first bracelet in 2007 on her kitchen table in Fulham, London. The brand’s jewels are addressed, in particular to the world of the family, with pendants bearing names and special dates.

From the first bracelet, and with the help of her husband Arnaud, the company expanded to include a team of 45 people, including the protagonist of the summer campaign, who work in London, Paris and Berlin. The brand became even more popular when Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was spotted in 2014 wearing a Merci Maman necklace that her sister Pippa had given her after Prince George was born. The pendants were hand engraved with Prince George’s name, date of birth and a small charm with Prince William’s initial. The pieces are plated in 18-karat gold or in sterling silver, with prices starting from 39 euros up to 179 euros. However, there is also a collection in pure 18-karat gold with prices ranging from 390 to 890 euros.

Lisa Nik story

Lisa Nik, jewels, stones and a bit of Italy behind the history of the brand ♦ ︎

Lisa Nik is a New York fine jewelry brand. But it was also born thanks to a pinch of Italy. Founding the company in 2009 was Lisa Nikfarjam. Graduated in economics, Italian and French at Pepperdine University, California, she moved to New York for a master’s degree in management. But, obviously, her interest was on jewelry: after following the canonic gemology course at Gia (Gemological Institute of America), in 1998 she was cast as executive vice president of Roberto Coin. For the Italian jeweler she worked as a manager from January 1998 to February 2009, 11 years and two months. Just enough time to learn all the secrets of the craft and think it’s time to try it alone. And so it was.

The collections are made of 18 carat gold, colored stones, silver and diamonds. The Colors collection uses vibrant colored stones to create an emotional response. Rocks uses the heat of colored stones to enhance the setting of jewelery. There is no extravagance, but innovation in tradition. But it would be trivial to say that the idea is the result of its previous experience.

The blow of design for Adel Chefridi

The jewels by Adel Chefridi, from Tunis to New York City ♦ ︎

Jewelers are born in Tunis too. This is the case of Adel Chefridi, who fell in love with jewelry as a child, as he says, in what is a city with an ancient history, which starts from the Carthaginians. A mix of cultures, such as Roman, Byzantine, Andalusian, Jewish, Ottoman, Islamic and French, which also influenced the style of Adel Chefriti, who left Tunisia and the mysterious glimpses of the Sahara, settled in the USA in 1998, in New York, although he now works in the nearby town of Rhinebeck. One of the distinctive elements of his design is engraving, one of the first techniques historically adopted to make jewelry.

As often happens, the culture and taste of those who move to another country creates a hybrid between tradition and the aesthetics of the place of arrival. The designer attended Gia to study gemology, specialized in goldsmithing and diamond setting, but he is also self-taught. In addition, he went to India to look for gems to setting them on gold and silver. The result of all this process included, also, participation in the Couture in Las Vegas, the most exclusive stage in the USA, where the most refined Maisons meet. After all, the Sahara and the Nevada desert have some aspects in common. His last jewelry production it’s Secret Garden collection.

Noor Fares, a refined jewelry designer, married the artist and businessman Alexandre Al Khawam in 2015, with whom she had a child. She lives in Belgravia, an exclusive district of London. Not only. She comes from a wealthy family: her father is Issam Michael Fares, a Lebanese businessman, former member of parliament and deputy prime minister of Lebanon. Noor’s happy life also includes a childhood in Paris, studies of art history in Boston and gemology in London, where he earned a master’s degree in jewelry design from Central Saint Martins with a thesis focused on the importance of fiction in jewelry.

A lucky story, which is hardly the result of the subsequent series of evil eye necklaces made by her Maison. The Lebanese designer is more linked to the symbols of the Indian tradition, with jewels that are inspired by the symbols of the chakras or ancient designs related to meditation. The transparencies of the stones, the geometries with oriental motifs, the references to a spiritual and magical dimension are her guides in the composition of her collections.

Gil Zohar’s Babylon Jewels

The icons of ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon revive in the jewels of the designer Gil Zohar ♦ ︎

The Bible tells of how in ancient times the Jews fled from Egypt, chased by Pharaoh’s army and led by Moses. But pyramids and sphinxes do not arouse distrust in Gil Zohar, a designer from Tel Aviv who took the style of the ancient Egyptian civilization together with the Babylonian one for his jewels. Her story about her is unusual: she has a degree in Business Administration and History of Art, Criticism and Conservation. You worked as a journalist and stylist in the capital of Israel. But she was dissatisfied. In 2016, while she was making a jewel for herself for fun, the designer became aware of her passion for ancient Egypt and ancient Mesopotamian civilizations.

She added the two passions: the goldsmith’s art and the world of the pharaohs. The result is the small Maison that has her name and that, of course, produces jewels with icons that appear on hieroglyphics, such as sphinxes, bulls and deer. The jewels, undoubtedly original, are in 24-carat gold plated silver and with 4 microns of the thickness (more than most of the platings). Prices start at around one thousand dollars to go up to 3,000. If you too love the world of ancient Egypt, moreover, Gil Zohar also offers statues of about 50 centimeters on the same theme, but in plated bronze. Just like those deprecated by Moses.

Atelier Zobel’s art jewels

Published on June 28, 2021

Showroom

Peter Schmid. A very common name in Germany. But the skills of Peter Schmid who lives and works in Costanza, a town overlooking the lake in the south of the country, are by no means common. Peter Schmid is an artist and a goldsmith, who relaunched Atelier Zobel. His jewels are creative and small works of art, different from all the others. And he did not become an artist who works with gold and precious stones from a family inheritance: he was born in a rural area in Ostrach, where his father had a lumber yard.

Spilla in oro, argento, acquamarina intagliata, diamanti — Brooch in gold, silver, carved aquamarine, diamonds

But Peter’s curiosity and vivacity pushed him further. He started studying economics. But reading, travel, culture, art pushed him to study goldsmithing. After a brief experience in the Atelier Zobel he decided to specialize at the Vocational College of Design, Jewelry and Tools in Schwäbisch Gmünd. A scholarship then led him to the Escuela Masana in Barcelona.

Apilla in argento sterling, oro 24 e 22 caeati, ambra, diamante taglio pincess, diamanti grezzi — Brooch in sterling silver, 24 and 22 carat gold, amber, pincess-cut diamond, rough diamonds

Schmid then returned to Constance, where he worked for Atelier Zobel for 11 years, before taking over the studio in 2005. In his laboratory-studio, together with his team, the jeweler-artist loves to carefully evaluate stones, a source of inspiration for their history, as well as their quality. He starts from stones, in fact, to create unique pieces that are also objects of collection, as well as jewels to wear. The jewels thus take on imaginative, irregular and certainly original aspects. To do this, he combined metals in new ways, with a refined technique of goldsmithing and welding.

24 karat gold jewelry as an investment with Generation

Published on June 26, 2021

Showroom

The story of Generation Collection, a brand of Generation Investment Jewelry, is a surprising story. Let’s face it right away: if for you buying a jewel also means investing in an object of value, this is the story for you. Because Generation aims to do just that: to produce 24-karat gold jewelry, which is an investment that is considered safe in the long term. Generation uses recycled gold which saves 99% of the environmental impact and, above all, 24 karat. That is, pure gold such as that of ingots (usually 18-karat gold is used for jewelry, which is an alloy with other metals). Pure gold jewelry is considered by Generation to be a solid investment for women, who can easily sell the jewelry in case of need. It must be added, however, that gold does not necessarily mean that it will certainly increase in price, even though it may be so in the long run.

Anello esagonale unisex in oro 24 carati

There is another surprising aspect, which caresses the so-called American dream. It all starts in a small Bulgarian town and ends in Nevada, on the border with California. Boryana Straubel, raised by a single mother in Bulgaria, was educated for hard work. She graduated from high school in 2000. And as a gift, her mother gave her a 30-gram 24-karat gold necklace. Giving gold to a child in Bulgaria is equivalent to opening an investment account. At that time, Boryana recounts in her bio about her, the price of gold was $ 280 an ounce. But 20 years later, that same necklace is worth 580% more. In short, the investment was excellent.

But this is a consideration that many can make. The difference lies in Boryana Straubel’s abilities: in addition to Bulgaria, she lived in Germany, Austria and Russia, up to the United States, where she earned a degree in Economics from UC Berkeley, a degree in Management (Sloan) and one in Industrial Engineering (MS&E) from Stanford University. Then, she spent over a decade at Tesla and the Wikimedia Foundation. She is an analytics and operations expert, she has led key functions such as People & Business Analytics, Systems, Operation and M & A Integration, she sits on the board of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association. In short, she is a decidedly uncommon type.

Charm con le lettere dell'alfabeto — Charm con le lettere dell’alfabeto

Other pedigreed senior managers work alongside Boryana Straubel, such as Ian McMilan, who led key Olympic teams for Nike and Nike Retail’s global strategic teams. Prior to Nike, he was at PwC and also co-founded a management company that ran global marketing campaigns for brands including Gucci, Chanel, Prada, MAC Cosmetics, Sephora and Miu Miu, studied Economics at Princeton University , and holds an honors degree in Accounting from the University of Washington and an MS in Management from Stanford.

There are also Alessandra Jekova twice finalist at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014 and Korea 2018, with 17 FIS Snowboard World Cup Tour titles: she has been among the top 10 women for over a decade. But, above all, she holds degrees in Sports Management, ambassador for brands such as Tag Heuer, Audi, Re / Mind, Burton, Avon, Bioderma and Moroccanoil. Finally, designer Erica Bello and marketing manager Julie Middleton also work on Generation.

The world of jewelry has set out on the green road, at least in words. But there are those who have encouraged environmental sustainability for years, to the point of making it a distinctive feature. This is the case of Jennifer Dawes, a designer who works in Sonoma County, California. Jennifer has always been a supporter of nature and ecological balance. A concept that she reiterates now with the Kingdom collection. The kingdom you allude to is that of animals, from the butterfly brooch made with watermelon tourmaline to compose the wings, to bees with rutilated quartz bodies.

The butterfly, among other things, has a symbolic meaning because a species has been included among the endangered species in the California area, news that upset the designer, so much so that it took action to protect the insect. Another feature that concerns the collection is the presence of pieces with moving parts. The butterfly, for example, can move its wings. They are almost all unique pieces, except for the dragonfly and the lucky eye, which can be produced in different copies.

The myth of Gaya colors Paris

Anello in oro, diamanti e crisocolla arcobaleno

In Greek mythology Gaia is the personification of the Earth. In Paris Gaya by Garnazelle is inspired by that myth. The founder, Céline Rivet, defines herself as free, wild and radiant, as well as a lover of nature and her balance. Before Gaya, Céline founded the Garnazelle brand, a name that derives from Solarnazelle, which in the dialect of the Sologne area (central France) indicates a particularly widespread frog. And Solarnazelle is the designer’s nickname. But, of course, the designer is also in love with jewelry. However, she began her career by working for a diamond dealer, a very useful experience for her later profession.

Collana con oro giallo e corallo inciso, opale, rubellite, turchese, tormalina, corniola, giada verde, lapislazzuli

The Gaya by Garnazelle brand was launched in 2017, with romantic, bohemian and colorful collections. The jewels are made exclusively in 18K gold, designed in France and produced in Europe. In addition to diamonds, Gaya uses a vast repertoire of stones, such as opal, rubellite, blue and green turquoise, tourmaline, carnelian, jade, lapis lazuli. Stones that come from the “most environmentally friendly mines” and, for diamonds, with the guarantee of the Kimberley Process (responsible sourcing and anti-corruption laws).

Baselworld returns in 2022. But will be different

Published on June 23, 2021

news

La cupola aperta che sovrasta la piazza che unisce i padiglioni della Fiera di Basilea

Baselworld is back. The largest jewelry and watch fair, however, will be different. How different? The point is precisely this: there are still, inevitably, many undefined aspects, as explained in an online meeting Michel Loris-Melikoff, CEO of the event, which is managed by the Swiss company Mch.

The last edition of Baselworld was that of 2019. But it was a smaller-scale event than in the past, after a long series of goodbyes by the big brands. The reason? Above all, the costs that have now become unsustainable: for a company, the presence at Baselworld could mean an expense of over 1 million euros, as the manager himself admitted. To the exorbitant costs has been added a lot of competition and, above all, the spread of communication via the internet. Ok, it is not the same as having direct contact with the manufacturer or viewing the object. But it facilitates contacts and, above all, it costs almost nothing. Above all, a physical space at the fair can now be obtained for about 20 thousand euros/dollars, which goes down to 5 thousand to participate in the digital platform alone.

Reasons that led Baselworld to a deep reflection, which has also lengthened due to the covid. So much so that at some point Mch had decided to eliminate the Baselworld brand altogether. Fortunately, the decision was changed. Now the fair returns. When? Between 31 March and 4 April 2022: but essentially there is still an agreement with Watches and Wonders, as it is now called Fhh, an event held in Geneva and reserved for haute horlogerie. The idea is to coordinate the two events, as was already planned for 2020. The uncertainty also testifies to how long and tiring the work of convincing companies to return to Baselworld will be long and tiring. According to Loris-Melikoff, the new Baselworld will primarily be a B2B platform in the mid-range luxury segment. A concept that profoundly changes the philosophy followed up to here, which favored brands such as Chopard, Rolex or Bulgari. All companies that have decided to leave the event in the Swiss city.

As explained, the future concept combines market trends of experience marketing with the needs of the entire community in the middle and upper segment of the watch, jewelry and gemstone industry.

After the coronavirus pandemic has stalled Baselworld in the past two years, we have taken a long time to speak with our partners and exhibitors. One thing has become very clear: the brand must remain, but it must radically change.
Michel Loris-Melikoff

Baselworld 2019. Copyright: gioiellis.com

The intention is that the new Baselworld will be less glamorous and more of a platform on which small watch and jewelry manufacturers and gemstone dealers will be able to showcase their products and retailers will have efficient and easy access to diversity of manufacturers. Not only that: it will also become a digital platform, complemented by live events, which will be available to the jewelery, watch and gem industry 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, around the world.

Il talk show di apertura di Baselworld 2019

The digital platform will be launched in the autumn, and is expected to be a forum for exchange between all relevant representatives of industry, the public and the media at Baselworld 2022. The goal is to use new tools for content creation, to enable maximum experience providing the opportunity to expand your network and exchange information on the latest trends. It will be the first independent platform that combines digital and live events.

According to Loris-Melikoff, everyone will meet on the platform: brands, manufacturers, retailers, fans and the media. “We will offer attractive conditions and prices for all brands that want to benefit from this unique platform”, assures the manager. Finally, the new orientation of Baselworld is in line with the strategy of the Mch Group, “confirmed by the new board of directors. on community platforms in selected ecosystems (international or national), the provision of experiential marketing solutions with holistic support for customers around the world and the management of the group’s infrastructure in Basel and Zurich ».

Collana Serpente d - Jar in oro, argento, ametiste, zaffiri, diamanti

Men and beasts. Or, rather, creatures that are part of the world of nature. And jewelry. Animals are at the center of an exhibition in New York called Beautiful Creatures, which brings together some of the most spectacular jewels inspired by the world of animals. The exhibition is organized at Melissa and Keith Meister Gallery within the American Museum of Natural History. Over one hundred precious jewels created by the greatest jewelry houses have been selected, from the iconic panthers of Cartier to the butterflies of Suzanne Belperron. With rather rare pieces, such as the necklace by the American designer Joel Arthur Rosenthal, better known as Jar: the one on display, one of the few made by the legendary jeweler, is from 1990 and is made with precious and semiprecious stones and with pavé diamonds set in silver and gold. The selected jewels have been crafted over the past 150 years, in line with the museum’s recent 150th anniversary celebration.

The selected jewels exclude pets, while they include those somehow present in some corner of the museum. There are many great Maison present, from Bulgari to Van Cleef & Arpels, as well as contemporary designers such as Bina Goenka. The exhibition, which was actually announced in autumn, but then postponed due to the covid, is present in the new permanent rooms of Allison and Roberto Mignone and is free and to visit it requires health safety measures (i.e. a little distancing ).

The hunters of vintage jewels, of great Maison, of prestigious pieces, point their binoculars on 21 June, the starting date of an online sale of Christie’s, which will last until 5 July. By now high jewelery auctions online have become a habit and it is not surprising that with one click you can buy pieces of great value. In this case, the top lot of the sale is a Jean Fouquet necklace from 1925, which had been lost since its creation.

Furthermore, in 1925, Jean Fouquet received the award at the Exhibition of Decorative and Industrial Arts, an important event for the Art Deco period. The necklace symbolizes the transition from fine jewelry to sculptural jewelry, juxtaposing geometric shapes. It is made of white gold and silver, with the striated disc of the necklace that evokes the work of the painter Fernand Léger, entitled Les disques de la ville (1918). The stone is an aquamarine.

For Art Deco enthusiasts, the auction also offers a Cartier Jabot brooch with Colombian emeralds and diamonds, estimated at 30,000-40,000 euros.

Anello con meraldo centrale, diamanti e rubini by BG World

Of course, style is far away from that a little ‘dry aseptic proposed by Western brands, even the most traditionals. But at the same time it is easy to see how even bracelets, necklaces and rings of this brand India have approached to an international taste. Sure, they are rich in gold and stones, but less anchored to traditional ethnic jewelry of the past, although certainly not deny the origins. Jaipur is one of the flags of jewelery world, which employs hundreds of gem cutters. And these jewels of Bridhichand Ghanshyamdas well testify the skills of the artisans. The latest collection presented by the brand is named Aks, Reflection of time: reflection of past and present, to capture the essence of the cultures of different eras. Between that of the maharajas, who in Rajastan have reigned until the seventies of the twentieth century and the era of the Internet: a link is allowed only to the jewelry.

The bold curves and rigorous geometries of Myrto Anastasopoulou, designer in Athens ♦

Myrto Anastasopoulou she is a Greek designer. The country that originated an architecture that is imitated until today and is considered to be the cradle of Western civilization, now is curiously the cradle of a modern design, which has nothing to do with the past. Myrto Anastasopoulou is among the jewelers who have gone through the road of renewal, with sometimes indefinite lines and volumes, amazing curves, bold approaches.

Anello con tormaline e diamanti taglio rosa

Small sculptures that are far removed from the classicity of ancient Fidia master: maybe could be inspired by Anish Kapoor. The other thing you notice right away is a rich, eclectic style. Myrto Anastasopoulou don’t has only one track on which to shows creativity, but plays his music on different instruments. Combine, in other words, different styles: from earrings with tourmaline drops, quite pleasing and all-in-class, with rings of tormented curves.
Jewelry is made of sterling silver, 18k gold, or in combinations of different metals. The designer has her showroom in Athens, in Kolonaki quarter. Rudy Serra

At the seaside with a futuroRemoto

Anello balena in argento, oro con diamanti e zaffiri

Wearing jewels on the beach or, worse, during a bath in sea water is inadvisable and, in many cases, dangerous (see also: Sea and jewels, here’s what to do). But nothing prevents you from wearing jewelry that is reminiscent of the marine environment. Maybe with a little humor, as in the case of the jewels designed by Gianni De Benedittis, founder of the futuroRemoto Apulian brand. The Takerisks collection, for example, includes a triple ring featuring the sea, the motorboat and a shark. Because the sea can also reserve surprises.

Other marine-themed jewels, from the same collection, snorkeling ring and necklace, which recall the pleasure of exploring the hidden seabed. The jewels are available in two versions, a prêt à porter line in silver and enamels, or a luxury one, made of 925% burnished silver, 750% gold mask lenses with white diamonds and rubies. Or, again with a marine theme, there is the whale ring in 925% silver and 750% gold, with blue sapphires and white diamonds.

All the singularities of Alexander Laut

Collana in oro con perle, diamanti e zaffiri

Alexander Laut is a special type. Born in 1967 in Russia, jeweler in Hawaii, he loves water and loves to swim. He once explained that his surname translates into Indonesian and Malay as sea, sea in English, and his zodiac sign is (obviously) that of pisces. And the jewels? He prefers cocktail rings, but above all pearls grown in the sea. Does he seem a strange guy to you? Maybe you don’t know that he studied medicine, he worked as a journalist, photographer and gallery owner, until he approached the jewelry and the world of gems.

Even its namesake brand has a different history than usual. He was born in 2003 after his meeting with Ronald Winston, son and heir of the great Harry Winston. It was he who convinced Alexander Laut to put his talent to good use. Particularly large and rare stones, colored diamonds, rubies, sapphires, spinel and tourmalines are the colors of his palette, alongside equally exceptional pearls. Each jewel made is unique, has its own identification number and signature of the author. The jewels are obviously all handmade, one piece at a time, by Japanese jewelers.

Orecchini in oro bianco 18 carati con ametista, smeraldo, turchese e diamanti

For centuries, men have been able to express their creativity, together with absolute power. Things change. Alexia Gryllaki, a Greek born in Athens, has a degree in philosophy and history of science, a master’s degree in corporate finance and, as if that weren’t enough, in 2012 she obtained a diploma in gemology and jewelry design from the Gemological Institute of America in London. With this curriculum she worked for three years designing collections for Greek and Italian high-end jewelery brands and at a high-end gemstone retailer in London. Finally, in 2015 an official recognition arrived: the victory of the President’s International Design Award from the Cultured Pearl Association of America. It was time to enter the market.

Orecchini in oro bianco 18 carati con zaffiro rosa, smeraldo, turchese e diamanti

Alexia Gryllaki lives between Athens and London. She designs jewels that are in balance between aesthetics and geometry, between nature and architecture, composition and restlessness. Some of her pieces seem to come out of a kaleidoscope, where the symmetry is always composed of surprising combinations of colors, which in this case are delicately alternating gems.
