Nigel O’Reilly’s Irish ballad

Published on December 8, 2020

Anello Rosa Damascena con rubino, tsavorite e diamante

In Castlebar, a small town in the north of the Republic of Ireland, Nigel O’Reilly works. It is not a place renowned for fine jewelry, yet O’Reilly does just that, and with success. Sotheby’s has just auctioned off a ring in the shape of a damask rose paved with rubies and 757 tsavorites for $ 25,000. Sotheby’s also sold another ring, Plato’s Garnet, with a 10.69-carat garnet surrounded by 220 orange and pink sapphires, pink and green diamonds and tsavorites, for $ 18,900.

Another surprising aspect is that, unlike designers born in circles already introduced to the gemstone or jewelry industry, O’Reilly comes from a family of cattle ranchers. He spent his youth on a farm in Claremorris in the west of Ireland. Passionate about football and David Bowie’s music, the designer followed a four-year apprenticeship in precision engineering and automation, and later worked for a company that manufactures heart valves.

Falling in love with jewelry is the consequence of falling in love with Tracy Sweeney, a young artist who has become Mrs. O’Reilly. For her, thanks to the mechanical expertise, he made a ring with the steel used for the heart valves. He did quite well, it seems, because Tracy advised him to start the profession of jeweler. After a jewelry course, to learn the art of gold and precious stones, the study of famous setters and an apprenticeship, O’Reilly began the life of the jeweler with difficulty. First as a setter for other Maison, and then finally with his own business, and he moved to Castlebar. He has several admirers. Her rings and earrings were worn by Saoirse Ronan and Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, the eldest daughter of Prince Albert II of Monaco and granddaughter of Grace Kelly, whose family had roots in County Mayo.

Verdi’s Swing

Published on December 7, 2020

Rings/bracciale/Showroom

What would Giuseppe Verdi have said about swing? Perhaps the famous Italian opera composer would have been perplexed. The namesake founder of Verdi Gioielli, Maison in Valenza, on the other hand, can only be satisfied: Swing, in fact, is the name of the collection that is currently among the ones that shines the most in the sky of the Piedmontese company. Swing, in fact, is a word connected to rhythm and, therefore, to the musical environment, such as the one frequented by Giuseppe Verdi (the other, the composer). Furthermore, swing music is linked to the jazz genre and thus fits in well with the vaguely retro artistic motifs of the collection.

The jewels of the Swing collection are made of white gold and diamonds but, above all, they have a soft and elaborate style, which seems to come directly from certain decorations of the first half of the last century. Stylized flowers and butterflies, but also volumes reminiscent of a ballerina, as in the case of the necklace, alternate with geometric motifs for large bracelets, rings and earrings.

Gamma Creations, high jewelery in Thai sauce

Published on December 7, 2020

news

It is known to those who work in the world of jewelry that a large part of the jewelry sold in the world is produced in Thailand. And not only mass-produced jewels such as those of big brands, for example Danish ones (just to give an example). Even large Maison entrust part of the production to the skilled hands of Thai artisans, perhaps reserving the right to put the final finishing touches at home. One of these realities, which are active behind the scenes, is Gamma Creations.

Anelli con diamanti, smeraldi, granato, rubini, zaffiro

The company designs and produces exclusive jewelry and works for third parties. Also facilitated by the fact that the founder is a Frenchman, Jacques Prades, who gave birth to the company in 1984, and now the factory actively works with French and Italian companies. Jacques Prades understands it: he learned everything about the jewelry trade thanks to his father, a master craftsman, much appreciated by the crowned heads of his time.

Prades combines a sensitivity for jewelry with the skill of business: he was graduated with honors from the Ecole Du Louvre, while at the same time worked as an apprentice at Templier-Fontana, one of the leading world laboratories of the time. He then embarked on a journey around the world that lasted ten years, starting with a jewelry workshop in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. In short, he is an adventurous. Gamma Creations thus manages to combine traditional Thai craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create valuable pieces for the Western market. As these images testify.

The freedom jewels of Karma El Khalil

Published on December 6, 2020

Showroom

She studied psychology. And for this she became a gemologist and jewelry designer in New York. It seems strange? It is. But it is the story of Karma El Khalil, who received her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Tufts University in Boston. Then, she wanted to do a master’s degree in London, but a random mistake on the part of the school’s admissions department delayed entry. So Karma spent the summer designing jewelry for fun. As can be easily deduced from the name, Karma El Khalil is of Arab origin. Lebanese, to be precise. And the makeshift designer showed the jewelry design to a family friend in Beirut, which is one of the centers of Middle Eastern jewelry.

Result: they liked them. The designer’s parents invested $ 10,000 to make 15 pieces, which were immediately sold. And Karma El Khalil’s professional history began. She moved to New York to study design and graduated from the GIA, immediately sold 80% of the jewelry at the first opportunity and found admirers in Madonna and Brad Pitt, who gave Angelina Jolie a Karma ring (they were others times), Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera. The mix of cultures that she brings with her, between Europe, America and Africa (where she lived as a child with her parents), stimulated and conditioned her creativity. And, perhaps, the degree in psychology helps her understand the desire of others.

The success convinced her to take the next step and look out to the open market. “I have noticed a lack of color in jewelry,” she explained to describe his creative philosophy. On the other hand, Sweta Jain has worked with the precious stones from childhood: the merchant father of gems has taken her around the mines in Africa to find the best bits. When she is become adult, she enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology to study jewelry design. It’s all right, in fact. There is only to explain the meaning of the name, Goshwara. It was a term used in India and Persia to describe a perfect teardrop shape. A silhouette of perfect proportions that, according to Sweta, embodies the essence of femininity. The luxury curves, in fact. Giulia Netrese

The influencers who sold fake jewelry

Published on November 17, 2020

news

What if the influencers, men or women, weren’t all little angels? It is known that the varied army of influencers, usually beautiful girls or self-proclaimed experts on something, aims to make money by advertising, more or less hidden from the products they show on Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok and the like. But it is also good to know that this activity is not always within the limits of the law.

One case brought up this problem. Amazon in the United States is suing Kelly Fitzpatrick, a former member of its influencer program, along with colleague Sabrina Kelly-Krejci. The accusation: Amazon claims that influencers have promoted counterfeit items, including jewelry. Jeff Bezos’ large online store has filed a complaint with the federal court in the western district of Washington. According to this accusation, influencer Fitzpatrick, in collaboration with Sabrina Kelly-Krejci and a variety of Chinese producers, would have used a “sophisticated false advertising campaign” on social networks such as Instagram and Tik Tok so that Amazon would not find out that they were selling illegal counterfeits.

The fake luxury items, actually made in China, include a Dior J’Adior bracelet, as well as fake bags and sunglasses. Amazon also claimed that Style and Grace’s social media accounts claimed they had sold items that may only have similarities to a branded item. The list, according to the indictment, often contained hidden links that allowed buyers to purchase counterfeits.

Anello Art Déco in platino con diamanti e rubini

Like good wine, jewels can increase in value and charm over the years. Not only that, vintage jewels, if they are of high quality, are also extraordinarily modern. Fortunately, in addition to jewelry auctions, you can get vintage or antique jewelry in specialty stores. There are not many, but there are brands, such as Stephen Russell in New York, on Madison Avenue, which guarantee the high quality of the jewels on sale. The company opened the shop in 1984 and is aimed primarily at collectors.

The founders are two, Stephen Feuerman and Russell Zelenetz, and the name of the brand is a summary of their names. They have spent over 35 years building their incredible collection of rare Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco era jewelry, earning a first-rate clientele (fans include Kate Moss and Nicole Kidman). The two jewelers have selected jewels from the last three centuries, all one of a kind and in perfect condition. Prices have at least five zeros. And they are also sold online, in perfect harmony with the times. Federico Graglia

Louis Vuitton’s mascot becomes a jewel

Published on November 7, 2020

COLLANE/Showroom

In common opinion, a mascot is a person or an animal that brings good luck. Louis Vuitton, however, did not need the brand’s mascot, which is called Vivienne, to be lucky: success had achieved it even before. In any case, years ago the company of the LVMH group introduced the Vivienne mascot, originally conceived as a decorative object, and which has subsequently been transformed into bags, accessories and, now, into jewelry.

The design of the jewelry is inspired by the two Monogram flowers, the round ones and the pointed ones, always with four lobes. They are the flowers that make up the logo of the French company. Vivienne, however, has a similar appearance to a small puppet: she stands on her legs with her eyes wide open. It also has two movable arms, free to swing. These precious little puppets are used as pendants. They are available in two sizes and in different styles, in the three colors of gold, with diamonds and red or black lacquer. Finally, a larger, medium version can also be used as a brooch.

Do you remember Joan Collins? Today she is 87 years old, but she has been one of the sex symbols of Hollywood cinema, even if in reality she is British, Londoner.

Gurhan, fable with 24 carat

Orecchini in argento sterling stratificato con oro 24 carati e pietre di quarzo druzy

A 24-carat gold and hand-crafted worked by the jewelry designer Gurhan.

As in fairy tales, there is a humble artisan who lives in a distant country, Istanbul. And there’s a romantic woman who comes yet to farther, from Australia. The two fall in love and after a few months is born a jewelery. The story started in this way. And now the jewels from the city of Turkey are moved to the lobes, fingers and neck of an impressive array of celebrity, from actresses like Angelina Jolie to public figures like Hillary Clinton. It is the story of Gurhan, who calls himself a “citizen of the world, Renaissance thinker, inquisitive explorer, fashionista, fond of rock music, traveler, photographer, political junkie, a tech geek, an inventor, a theoretical mathematician, and a great cook ».

Although modesty is probably not among the virtues of the designer, you have to admit that with his jewels he knows what he does.

The strange thing is that the passion for jewelry Gurhan has discovered when he was 40, after the he worked as disc jockey and managed bars and restaurants. But then he went to Switzerland to study horology. Then, he says, everything changed the day he met a pure gold leaf. And the 24-carat gold (except the closures, which are at 22 carats) in its collections is beaten with the hammer, and leaves the classic signs on the metal. Since then he designs jewelry in a continuous stream. Today its boutique more popular is the one that has opened in New York. Lavinia Andorno

From the Etruscans in Tuscany to the Tefaf in New York: the elaborate jewelry by Otto Jakob.

The end of October coincided with Otto Jakob’s return to Tefaf in New York, this year in an online version (1-4 November). From Karlsruhe, a city in southwest Germany, the German designer has won legions of admirers. Her recipe calls for 70 percent of fantasy, 25 percent of design and 5 percent of the Teutonic spirit instilled in her jewelry. That of Otto is not a job, but a vocation: he began at age 17 with the study of Etruscan art, Celtic and classical: influences that are still present in his unique pieces, plus a kind of medieval soul. From 1977 to 1980 he studied painting. Then, it is dedicated exclusively to jewelry making. But is not jewelry that you can be bought in any jewelry: are special pieces, exposed only to Tefaf or in an art gallery. Nor is it surprising that in previous editions Jakob was assigned to Tefaf in an area reserved for ancient jewels.

His real teachers, in fact, are Italians goldsmiths like Benvenuto Cellini in Fortunato Pio Castellani.

There is no trace of modern design in its rings, earrings or bracelets. They are special pieces. For example, he can use crystals of Pakistan rock and, simultaneously, with gold inclusions, oil, tar and gas, red spinel, ruby and diamond. On average, each piece is made with about one hundred hours of work by nine craftsmen. 70 percent of production are unique pieces, the rest is made up of small variations of already proposed jewels. The prices of her jewels start at around 7,000 euro and arrive in tens of thousands. And they are reserved for those who truly love his style. Rudy Serra

Collana Mesh in oro giallo con 66 diamanti taglio brillante per un totale di 3 carati

Elsa Peretti, jewelry designer and former model, has just turned 80. But she is still young. This is demonstrated by the idea of Tiffany & Co. to re-propose some of the most famous pieces of the designer born in Florence, created for the New York jewelry house. A tribute to a great designer, but also the testimony that the jewels designed during Esla Peretti’s long career are still current. Elsa Peretti’s jewels are offered in a limited edition jewelry collection, as well as nine unique ones. If you like them, you can choose: prices range from $ 2,800 to $ 125,000.

In addition to coinciding with the designer’s special birthday, 2020 also marks the 50th anniversary of the Bone bracelet. A jewel that, half a century later, is still very popular. The jewels repurposed by Tiffany include pieces from collections such as Mesh, Silk, Cabochon, as well as Bone. These are collections that run through the history of the collaboration between Elsa Peretti and Tiffany. The Mesh collection, for example, was inspired by a trip to Jaipur, India, in 1974: a design that made 18K gold and diamond jewelry more wearable.

There are women who tend to extreme judgment on themselves: they feel like Cinderella or princesses. Sometimes a jewel is enough to help the former to consider themselves better. And Roberto Coin‘s Princess collection can be the right way, also because the series of jewels, divided into different product lines, is designed to be clearly visible and, therefore, self-rewarding. The Princess collection is now enriched with tassels, fringes and pendants that accentuate the romantic style, with art deco accents of the jewelry. Necklaces, bracelets and rings are available in rose, yellow or white gold, with brilliant cut diamonds set nicely in the metal.

Each jewel is engraved by hand through a delicate manufacturing process, which is inspired by the decorative lace of the flowery Gothic, used by the ancient Venetian palaces. The articulated structure hidden in the inner part of each jewel was also used in the Venetian Princess and Princess Flower lines.

Azza Fahmy’s jewels from Egypt, inspired by ancient traditions ♦

Jewelery seen from the banks of the Nile: the Egyptian Maison Azza Fahmy. The founder of the Maison, Azza Fahmy, is a woman designer, an unusual role in Egypt: she was the first to practice in the Egyptian jewelry district, Khan El Khalili. Fabrics, jewels, architecture, but also the ritual signs that Africans paint on their bodies are among the reasons that inspire the jewels, with the idea of reinterpreting the spirit of the past, translating the essence of traditions into earrings and bracelets. They are, however, jewels suitable for modern women.

Traditional motifs become silver and gold earrings, with geometric designs on rings and bracelets adorned with semi-precious stones. Probably the women of the African tribes would never have suspected that the large earrings used on special days among the huts of the Nubian villages, Mali or the Masai jewelry could be transformed into designer jewelry, with a necklace that mixes beads with jade, amber, carnelian , turquoise. Another source of inspiration are the decorative motifs of ancient monuments. But some time ago Azza Fahmy also created a collection of bespoke capsule jewelry for the British Museum in London. Amina Ghali, head of design and daughter of Azza Fahmy, took on the task of creating the collection, inspired by ancient French coins and pocket watches, with handcrafted 18-karat gold elements. The collection consists of necklaces and a pair of earrings. The coin pendants depict the cross and Arabic calligraphy with the words “God is One”.

In short, the American designer has plans to develop more and more what stands beside the classic production of clothes. It is no coincidence that the brand has long begun to offer its jewels, like the ones you see on this page. It is not yet clear, however, if Ralph Lauren will try his hand at a more demanding jewelry, as other fashion brands have already done, often with excellent results. For now, most of its flagship jewels are in silver, but also in rose gold and diamonds.

The jewelry by Paul Flato was a favorite of Hollywood actors for so many years and it is not surprising: the designer, in fact, has loved from the world of cinema, for his ability to combine luxury with originality. With a good dose of humor, an element not too popular among jewelry designers. Edmund Paul Flato (born September 1, 1900, and died at 99 years), was an American jeweler who has worked in New York City from 1920 to early 1940. It has long been a favorite from celebrity, with admirers like Greta Garbo , Mae West, Rita Hayworth, Joan Crawford, Doris Duke, Ginger Rogers, Carmen Miranda, Marlene Dietrich, Katharine Hepburn, and Gloria Vanderbilt.

And to say that from the bottom Texas, where his father had a cattle farm, he went to New York to study medicine. But because of financial problems he turned as a watchmaker. His decision to focus on the jewelry was the trump card. Flato had one pop style and at the same time very luxurious, with use also of symbols, icons, but made with quality materials and precious stones. As said, her jewelry reach high prices in auctions at Christie’s or Sotheby’s. But he was also a character with some shade. In 1943 he was convicted of embezzling jewelry that had been entrusted to it and falsification: he was for 16 months in Sing Sing prison. And after he was released, fled to Mexico to avoid further trouble. He’s back in the US in 1990, in his Texas when now no one remembered him. Federico Graglia
