High jewelery with alexandrite in the collection by Rubeus

Published on January 16, 2020

Spilla in oro bianco, diamanti, alessandrite, rubini

Nataliya Bondarenko is playing the most important match in Milan. And it is getting lasted eight years: since the former tennis player of the Russian national team founded Rubeus, a high-end brand, which from the Italian design capital wants to conquer the world.

Rubeus is not only a jewelry brand, but also a fashion and leather goods brand. But with unique pieces sold at a price with five zeros. For bags, for example, Nataliya Bondarenko considers Hèrmes to be a competitor. Indeed, she proposes Rubeus as something more exclusive.

Rubeus has opened a showroom in the center of Milan, in the luxury shopping area. And, in addition to clothes and bags, it also offers jewelry, always of the highest quality. Although Nataliya Bondarenko, in addition to being the founder of Rubeus, is also a designer, for the jewelry collection she has relied on one of the best French creators, Frederic Mané.

The result is a collection of unique pieces that have in common a rare precious stone: alexandrite. It is a rare variety of chrysoberyl, which changes color according to the time of day. Or rather, it appears red when illuminated with artificial light and green when illuminated with sunlight. Rubeus jewels enhance the stone with a design reminiscent of a stellar explosion. And the prices of these jewels are also stellar: an effect that is desired.

Weapons transformed into jewels

Published on January 13, 2020

Pacifist jewelry, made with the metal of bombs used in Laos or in the Vietnam War: here is the PeaceBomb jewelry line for Article 22, a name that refers to the Declaration for Human Rights. The idea likes also to Emma Watson and model Angela Lindvall, who have agreed to wear them.

From bombs to bracelets: this is how a line of jewels, named PeaceBomb, can serve to transform a tragedy into something positive and useful. The idea of designer Elizabeth Suda was born during a trip to Laos to see villagers melt bits of bombs (unloaded by the Americans during the Vietnam War) to turn them into spoons.

What a beautiful idea to turn something so negative into something positive.
Emma Watson

If cutlery can be made from metal, why not use the skill of local craftsmen to make bracelets and pendants? Suda wondered, which in the name of Buy Back the Bombs (we buy back the bombs thrown) founds in New York Article 22. The company, which takes its name from the article of the Declaration of Human Rights on social security, produces, markets and it donates part of the proceeds to finance demining operations: for example, with a bracelet costing $ 35, 3 square meters of earth are freed, with a $ 1,100 necklace, a surface of 78 square meters is cleared. They may seem too small numbers, but in a country, Laos, where there are an estimated 80 million unexploded mines, it is already something. Matilde de Bounvilles

Japanese kimonos transformed into earrings in the Tan-Mono collection by Lebole Gioielli

Published on December 27, 2019

/Orecchini

Lebole Gioielli is a brand so tied to the world of fabrics. And it is not a news that Japan‘s charm is the leitmotif of its collections, given Barbara Lebole’s preference for the Land of the Rising Sun. Here, then, is the Tan-Mono collection.

Lebole Gioielli, orecchini della collezione Tan-Mono

The tan-mono, in fact, is a roll of fabric from which a kimono is obtained, the traditional dress of Japanese women. The fabric is 36 cm wide, i.e. the maximum width of a traditional Japanese loom. Precisely for this reason the kimono is packaged in strips. The length of the tan-mono instead varies according to the size of the kimono. Even today, in traditional kimono shops, the customer chooses and buys the tan-mono and the garment packaging is separate.

In the case of Lebole Gioielli, on the other hand, Japanese tan-mono are spread on leather with a particular procedure. And then they are transformed into earrings. In the Tan-Mono collection the pair of earrings is made up of two equal elements. In the symmetrical composition geometric figures are used decorated with stones of different colors and mounted in gold galvanized brass.

The collection is designed by Paolo Perugini, an eclectic Tuscan artist, who extends his art from sculpture to architecture to arrive at fashion as in this case. Public price: under 70 euros.

The diamonds of the debs ball

Alcune partecipanti al ballo delle debuttanti

Once the debutante’s ball marked the entry of 18-year-old girls into society. The dance was reserved for girls and boys of rich and aristocratic families. The girls debutantes bowed before the queen (in Britain), they wore white clothes, gloves and tiaras. This tradition has been forgotten for many years, to come back into vogue in the late 1980s. The problem is that now the girls don’t wait 18 years to attend parties and living rooms. The arrival of social networks, like Facebook or Instagram, has also made sociality a universal phenomenon. So what’s the point of a (almost) debutante’s dance today? Yet from Vienna to Paris they are still organized.

Ralph and Russo for the wonderful gown-of HRH Princess Maria Carolina (da Instagram)

In France, for exemple, the traditional debutante ball was organized from 1957 to 1973. But in 1994, Ophélie Renouard invented a modern version, which he called Le Bal. It is a dance evening which, in addition, aims to raise funds for charity. And, given that the girls have largely attended parties and social events, the real debut thanks to Le Bal is the media one, including photos published in gossip magazines and specialized websites. The idea has its own logic.

Le Bal also smells of exclusivity: only about twenty selected young women and as many cavaliers can participate, along with guests (non-debs) willing to pay for the event. By regulation, the knights wear the classic white tie, while the haute couture houses dress the Debs.

In a world that is always connected without borders, the Debs and the knights come from around 12 different countries and include the sons of famous managers, entrepreneurs, aristocrats, with a splash of the entertainment world. Some names to give an idea: Princess Fawzia Latifa of Egypt, Princess Sarah Poniatowska, Princess Adishree Singh, Princess Gauravi Kumari of Jaipur, Princess Akshita Bhanjdeo, Ananya Panday, Isha Ambani, Ashna Mehta, Elisabeth Senghor, Diane and Chloé Bouygues, Caroline and Nadine Ghosn. Or, this year, Jane Li, daughter of the iconic star of the Chinese action movie Jet Li.

What does the debutante dance have to do with jewelry? Well, for 2019 the official jeweler of the event, organized at the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris, was the Indian Harakh Mehta. His House, Harakh, a word that means joy, has provided high jewelry with pear-cut diamonds. The Maison is famous for its diamonds, mounted on platinum or 18k gold, and stones of color D, E, F and VS, VVS or IF (internally impeccable).

Harakh Mehta is a fourth-generation diamond specialist: family activity began in the early twentieth century between Gujarat and Rajasthan, and is currently based in Mumbai.

The Gloria De Lor’s jewels

The jewels of Gloria De Lor: a few steps from Venice, the collections of the Maison founded by Riccardo Orsato.
Riccardo Orsato started its activities in 1986. The company he founded, however, has indentified with another name: Gloria De Lor. She is a partner? No, the name is a pun: in Venetian dialect means “golden glory.” And, indeed, it is the jewelry that made Riccardo Orsato, from over 30 years in his farm in Noale, near Venice. Orsato must be an entrepreneur who loves the words, in addition to gold jewelry because he has published the presentation of his collections with quotations and aphorisms by poets, writers and philosophers.

The philosophy of Gloria De Lor, however, is the classic of Venetian area in which they operate many companies dedicated to jewelry, more or less craft industry. The pieces of the House of Noale are made of gold (with this name could not be otherwise) with small stones, mounted on a piece with a modern design, but don’t are proposals too strange. In short, in the tradition, but with a modern outlook, as can be expected. Aurora, Love, Firmament, but also Venice, are the names of some of the collections made a few steps from the most famous lagoon in the world. Alessia Mongrando

Elizabeth Taylor con collana e pendente di rubini e diamanti firmata Van Cleef & Arpels

Here is an anecdote: while Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were shooting a movie in Rome, the actress suspected that the partner had a flirtation with Sophia Loren. Furthermore, Liz had to undergo urgent appendicitis surgery. Burton then presented himself with a pendant in the shape of a heart, with pavé diamonds, by Van Cleef & Arpels, which soon became one of his favorite pieces, because he was given so much love by Richard.

In the movie High Society, Bing Crosby watches an engagement ring of his ex-wife (on screen) Grace Kelly. “It’s a beautiful stone, Sam,” he says to her fiancé, John Lund. “Do you have a solitaire mine, George?” The ring you see in the film has mounted a 10.47 carat emerald cut diamond by Cartier and it is the engagement ring given to Grace Kelly by Prince Rainier III (we talked about it here). But what most people don’t know about this ring is that it was the second engagement ring for the prince. The first was a ruby with diamonds, but the prince discovered that it would not be enough to win Grace’s heart. Federico Graglia

Winter is frozen for Roberto Coin. The Italian brand has decided to get on the sequel to the animated film Frozen with a special collection. Presented in the USA, the collection is called Disney x Roberto Coin Frozen 2 and includes pendants, earrings, rings and bracelets obviously inspired by the main characters of the film and, more generally, the theme of snow and ice. In short, most of the pieces can be worn even without a connection to the film being immediate. Even though it is linked to the launch of the film’s sequel to the film, therefore, it is not a collection of simple bijoux, as in similar combinations between jewelery and film marketing.

Pendente in oro, zaffiri gialli e arancio

Among the jewels, in fact, there are pendants in the shape of a snowflake in white gold with diamonds, earrings with amethyst and tourmaline in the shape of a kite, earrings with the shape of crystals. The collection is coordinated on two shades: an autumn one, with yellow and orange sapphires, and an ice-colored one, in white gold and diamonds. But there is also a pendant that represents the snowman Olaf, one of the characters in the Disney movie.

Balconi di Sicilia is, instead, a tribute to the art, history and beauty of the island and is enriched with new jewels and new colors, including earrings, necklace with pendant and round purple rosette ring that refer to the colors of the sunset seen from behind the stained glass windows of a baroque palace. The Queen of the Mori Bracelet and King of the Mori, the latest additions to this series of which earrings and rings already exist, recall an ancient legend of love and passion: the head of a young girl and the head of Moro, they become jewels to be given as a token of love.

Finally, Isola Bella has created Christmas packages with the 1 kilogram panettone with Modica Chocolate and Sicilian Orange and with Pistachio and Candied al Limone, in an original by Giulio and Vincenzo Bonfissuto, protagonists of the Sicilian pastry scene. It is a 36-hour Sicilian panettone with natural leavening, made with mother yeast, free-range hens’ eggs and high-quality raw materials in two colored boxes and, in addition, an American Isola Bella Gioielli placemat.

Some examples of perfect jewels for Halloween: all in shades of black ♦ ︎

From Rome to New York, from London to Berlin: once a year Halloween heats a whole night. The ancient day dedicated to the dead, a tradition that originated in ancient Celtic rituals, has turned into a party in the dark style. Ghosts, zombies, skeletons and vampires are the protagonists of the events. In short, as happens at carnival, often disguises are required to those who want to participate in theme parties.

That’s why you need the right jewels for Halloween evening.

But what to choose for the evening of October 31? The style of the evening indicates a preference for black and white jewelry. More black than white, if possible. Black diamonds are the most suitable stone, but also the onyx fits well. Always black is the jet, very used in the Victorian era. It is not a true mineral, but has a plant origin. In fact, it is a variety of bright black lignite. It is used in jewelry for rings, earrings, bracelets. Through a brushing and cleaning system it acquires a brilliance that does not diminish over time. Black spinels are more rare.
Do not forget, moreover, that there is also burnished silver and even gold, when it is finished with ruthenium, takes on an almost black color. Here are some examples of jewels that adapt well to the theme of the evening. Lavinia Andorno

The Cologni collection of watches and jewelery goes to auction in Milan by Sotheby’s. An opportunity for Cartier enthusiasts ♦ ︎

Precious jewels for a good purpose. The collection of watches and jewels belonging to Franco Cologni, writer and entrepreneur passionate about watchmaking and jewelery, and his wife Adele Tamiso Cologni go to auction in Milan. Jewels and watches will be sold by Sotheby’s: a total of 72 lots with pieces dating from the early twentieth century to the year 2000. The proceeds will go towards a new project of the Cologni Foundation in Milan: an exhibition and cultural space dedicated to the excellence of art professions, at an important Milanese museum.

The collection also boasts the presence of several jewels from the 1930s, such as the splendid Cartier brooch / clip dated 1930 and estimated at 20,000-30,000 euros. The Cartier diamond bracelet, estimated at 40,000-60,000 euros with an original case, is from 1932. Dated 1962 is the Bird Flight brooch in gold, emerald, rubies and diamonds, estimated at 30,000-50,000 euros. The auction will also present the Cartier Panthère Collier, with housing, estimated at 9,000-13,000 euros. The two splendid panthers are removable and convertible into a brooch.

It is no coincidence that there are many Cartiers in the collection. Indeed, Cologni, Cavaliere del Lavoro and Officier de la Légion d’Honneur, was the founder and director of the international magazine Cartier Art. For forty years he collaborated with Cartier to become president of Mondo and, following the incorporation of Cartier into the Richemont Group, has become executive chairman of the entire jewelery and watch sector of the Group. He is also the founder and President of the Cultural Committee of the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva. In 2016, together with Johann Rupert, Chairman of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA, he founded the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship, also based in Geneva, whose purpose is to enhance creativity and art professions at an international level creating emp

loyment, supporting culture and enhancing the savoir-faire of the territories.

The Cologni Foundation of the Craft Professions is a private non-profit institution, established in Milan in 1995. Its initiatives are aimed above all at young people: training new generations of Masters of Art, saving the excellent craft activities from the risk of disappearance that threatens them, is in fact one of the objectives that the Foundation pursues. Thanks to the new exhibition space, the Cologni Foundation will thus be able to give visibility and value to the work of the art masters, giving young people new vocations.

The collection also consists of many collector watches. There are dozens of copies signed by Cartier, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Piaget, Frank Muller, Jaeger-LeCoultre and other prestigious brands. In some cases the watches are limited editions or dedicated to the collector. Among the most appealing lots in the collection are the La Monégasque wristwatch by Roger Dubuis from 2012 in pink gold, presented at auction with an estimate of 17,000-25,000 euros.

The Rose Petals collection by Ellebi Gioielli, designer Livia Bonanni brand ♦ ︎

Petali di rosa is the name of the new collection by the Roman designer Livia Bonanni, who founded the Ellebi Gioielli brand. Obviously the jewels are in silver, are inspired by flowers and are designed and made entirely by hand with the lost wax technique: an ancient sculptural practice originally introduced in the Bronze Age and used for fusions in Greek, Roman and monumental sculpture. Livia Bonanni has decided to bring the collection to Artistar Jewels 2019 Fall Edition, an annual Contemporary Jewelry project that brings together artists from all over the world. The event is scheduled from 24 to 27 October during Milan Jewelry Week.

The designer lives and works in Rome. In 2014 she attended the city’s Academy of goldsmith Arts, where she learned the techniques of fusion and banquet processing, the study and creation of classic handmade jewelery. In 2018 she decided to study the history of contemporary jewelery and its evolution at the Rome Academy of Costume and Fashion. And this last experience was a prerequisite for the creation of the line inspired by the beauty of flowers.

The Enchaînements Libres jewelery collection signed by Hermès: wild chains ♦

Free from chains, or free despite the chains? You choose how to interpret the name of the new Hermès jewelry collection: Enchaînements Libres. In fact the collection alludes to two different meanings. The first refers to the shape of the jewels, which are based on variations on the theme of the chain: large, small, intertwined. But it can also allude to the inequalities that afflict the female world.

The fact is that Pierre Hardy, creative director of Hermès’ jewelery division, chooses a third explanation: the chain as a link between cosmetics and the cosmos, “words that share the same origin and are linked to order and harmony.” In short, it flies high, even if a fourth interpretation indicates the chain as a return to the origins of the Parisian Maison, since they were used for harnesses and saddles, the first activity of Hermès.The collection consists of six thematic variations on the chain. Adage Hermès, for example, is an oversize necklace composed of elliptical rings studded with diamonds of over 110 carats Hermès Voltige recalls the surplice, the metal mesh used by knights in the Middle Ages to protect themselves in battle.

Madalina Ghenea con una collier della colelzione Vulcania, alta gioielleria Damiani

Damiani jewels shine in the images of Italian cities, which see Madalina Ghenea as the protagonist ♦

Tall, beautiful, brown and with a Mediterranean appeal that does not go unnoticed. A perfect aspect to become the face of a Maison like Damiani: Madalina Ghenea is the protagonist of the new advertising campaign of the Maison of Valenza. A thoughtful choice, but also helped by the natural charm of the model, which is for a long years the face of the jewelery brand.

Madalina Ghenea will celebrate the 95th anniversary of the jewelry brand, founded in 1924. On the eve of the most important birthday, the century of life, the Maison can with good reason be defined as a symbol of the Italian Lifestyle. And the communication campaign has chosen the symbolic scenarios of Milan, Venice and Portofino to match the model’s face.

A very talented friend, a “real woman”, Madalina Ghenea is the face of our new campaign. Madalina interprets the Mediterranean beauty: a seductive and elegant femininity that recalls the style of the sophisticated and unforgettable divas of the times of the Dolce Vita but also the independence of contemporary women!
Silvia Damiani

Here, then, are the images of Milan with Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, in the shopping streets around Montenapoleone, at the entrance to the Teatro alla Scala. In Venice, they are the protagonists in Piazza San Marco with its Art Nouveau cafés, but also in Punta della Dogana where the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute overlooks the waters of the Lagoon. And then, in the colorful Portofino where the luxury of yachts meets the luxuriant nature of Liguria, with its nineteenth-century alleys where you can ride on a Vespa, the Camogli clubs, the flavors of the cuisine to be enjoyed by the sea.

Damiani, indossato della collezione Margherita

The jewels of the D.Icon collection were chosen for the campaign, in ceramic, diamonds and gold, Eden with the sinuous shape of a snake that wraps and seduces, from the Margherita collection, inspired by the first Queen of Italy, and the Metropolitan collections , the Belle Epoque, D.Side and Minou jewels.

Alongside the jewels of everyday luxury, high jewelery pieces have also been chosen, with the creations of the Vulcania, Emozioni, Mimosa and Notte Di San Lorenzo lines: unique pieces created to celebrate the beauty of women and their charm, custodians of precious dreams that are revealed in the pure light of diamonds and colored stones.
