At the Met in New York the history of jewels





An exhibition at the Met in New York tells the history and art of jewelry ♦ ︎

Are you planning a trip to New York or, if you are lucky, live in the most famous city in America? Do you love jewels? Then mark your date on your calendar: November 12, 2018. It is the day when a major exhibition on jewelry is inaugurated. History, meaning, styles: the exhibition, entitled Jewelry: The Body Transformed, is organized at the Met and brings together about 230 objects of all kinds. Ethnic, fashionable, luxurious created between 2600 BC and today: earrings, brooches, belts, necklaces, rings, but also sculptures, paintings, prints and photographs. The exhibition is scheduled until 12 November 2019. The jewel, in fact, seems to be the common denominator of all cultures and of any people. From those who in ancient Egypt served to accompany a powerful man in the hereafter, to those who have become status symbols, to jewels that are combined with a spiritual meaning. For those who like to know better what they wear, the exhibition is an interesting opportunity. Margherita Donato

Lions under the sign of Chanel

//




A new collection of jewelry roars with Chanel: Sous le Signe du Lion ♦ ︎

The lion roars for the third time. And the majestic sound of the king of the forest spreads from Venice to Paris. The most admired feline of all time was the favorite animal of Coco Chanel, who not by chance adored the lagoon city, which has as its symbol the lion. In addition, the founder of the fashion house was just under the zodiac sign of the lion.

Chanel has therefore decided to propose a new collection dedicated to the animal with its tawny mane.

The new collection is called Sous le Signe du Lion and follows the one presented last winter, which was called L’Esprit du Lion. Over the years the lions of Chanel have appeared on buckles, clothes and jewelry, in brass, gold or marble. In this case the collection uses 18-carat yellow or white gold, diamonds, rock crystal, onyx, lapis lazuli and rutilated quartz. The lions are sculpted in a proud pose, as if they were guardians of the jewels. Prices: from 7700 euros for the ring in white gold, diamonds and quartz, to the 126,000 euros the ring with a lion resting on a star and a large central diamond.

Luxury for sheikhs

The jewels of the drawn sheikhs and implemented by Ahmad Kurdi, in Dubai.

Who does not know the story of Aladdin’s lamp? Who has never fantasized about the sheiks jewelry? Here they are: are those of the most classic designer who works for the rich Arab Gulf: Ahmad Kurdi founded the Maison that bears his name and works in the center of Dubai. His goal is to package jewelry as luxurious as possible with which to please the wives of sheikhs who live in the Emirates. For 20 years, therefore, he strives to compose with large precious stones and diamonds galore rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets from the luxury flavor.

But to create such complex jewelry is also required great craftsmanship. In any case, there is no concession to savings: the necklaces have hundreds of stones, the bracelets can also be seen from a kilometer away, earrings shine as lights in the night. But this is not an excess of ostentation. It’s all back to the context in which these jewels are worn and exhibited. It is said that the wealth of stones and gold can not be appreciated by Western women. Rudy Serra

Artist’s jewelery in glass





In New York an exhibition organized by Adornment with glass jewels created by artists ♦ ︎

Glass is not precious, unless it becomes a jewel. This is witnessed by Adornment, a company that deals with projects dedicated to contemporary art jewels, which from 12 to 17 November organized for the occasion of the New York City Jewelry Week, a special edition of Cutting Edge. It is a design exhibition and search for glass jewelry, held in the spaces of R & Company (64 White Street). The exhibition is called Cutting Edge – Contemporary Glass Jewelry and is dedicated to the creations of artists and designers who use glass as a vehicle for expression.

Rings and necklaces of creative glass are seen with the eyes of Paolo Marcolongo, Biba Schutz and Agustina Ros, as well as pieces made by the special guest and ambassador in the field of Linda MacNeil glass jewelery.

The selection aims to provide an unusual and avant-garde perspective on glass jewels, an affirmation of the identity of a research that today is increasingly independent, even if still connected to tradition. Various processes and techniques are used, then customized by each of the creators through experimental techniques: from the processing of Murano glass, to the processing of hand-blown borosilicate glass; from the union and mixing of different chemical components, to the combined processing of glass and metals.

In Linda MacNeil’s jewelery, for example, metals (both precious and non-precious) and glass have equal dignity and functionality.

Power & Jewels, an exhibition discovers the intertwining





The symbols of power: tiaras and crowns in an exhibition at the Museo del Gioiello in Vicenza ♦ ︎

Not only do jewels serve to emphasize the wearer’s body, they not only show the taste of those who choose them and not only are an index of wealth. They are also, on some occasions, symbols of power. Like tiaras and crowns, medals and brooches, rings and tiaras. The new exhibition at the Museo del Gioiello in Vicenza, inside the Basilica Palladiana, is dedicated to them, to the jewels of power. The museum is the first in Italy and one of the few in the world dedicated exclusively to jewelery and is managed by Italian Exhibition Group (a company that also organizes VicenzaOro) in partnership with the City of Vicenza.

The new temporary exhibition is titled The Jewels of Power: Crown and Tiaras and is curated by Alessandra Possamai (22 September-17 March 2019).

Under the display cases there is a careful selection of crowns and tiaras from different times and contexts, from high fashion jewelery to fashion. “The exhibition represents an excursus between the crowns and tiaras of the past and the present, and focuses on what they are and what they have been. A real leap in the taste and style of different eras through works by great artists “, explains the curator, Alessandra Possamai. “A world of creative interest, a testing ground for goldsmiths and contemporary designers. The precious artifacts protagonists of the exhibition are a sign of the excellence of the goldsmith’s art, characterized by attention to detail and quality of work, which has made Made in Italy great in the world “.
“Fashion has always been absorbing and giving birth to strong iconic values ​​and crowns are powerful inspirations for their immediate and universal symbolism. We are very proud of this new temporary exhibition: Alessandra Possamai has been able to weave different times and contexts, presenting crowns and tiaras from high jewelery to fashion, confirming and expanding the pluralistic and inclusive spirit of the Jewelery Museum “, adds Alba Cappellieri, director of Jewelery Museum.

The jewels of the Millenials





A survey on Millenials reveals the jewels preferred by young people. The most worn type is … ♦ ︎

There are jewelry company giants that are in alarm: the Millenials, the generation born at the turn of the year 2000, will still love diamonds, expensive sets, necklaces with precious stones? An international research, conducted by the Milan Polytechnic, dedicated to the Millenials, has tried to answer the question. The research was conducted on over 500 young people (351 girls and 170 boys from 30 countries, for 65% Italians). The result was presented at Homi, the fair (also) of bijoux that took place in Milan from 14 to 17 September, with 650 exhibitors in the pavilions dedicated to the fashion jewel.

The conclusion of the study should reassure those who produce jewelry: more than two thirds of the young people interviewed wear them.

But, attention: it is not clear what the venal value is attributed. Indeed, according to the research, young people are indifferent to the material with which the jewels are made: precious and bijoux. The value that young people seek is not in the material or in the shape, but in the pleasure that each accessory evokes. In short, the emotional side is more attractive, the story that a piece of jewelry can tell.

Il 52% delle ragazze sceglie di indossare orecchini

The choice falls mainly on earrings (52% chosen for their practicality), followed by rings (44%), necklaces (37%) and bracelets (32%).

It is not surprising, however, that the younger ones wear jewels in their spare time, at school or at work. Apart from the purchases of bijoux in the street markets (28%), probably also due to lower costs, it is interesting that they like the jewels of independent designers (25%) who are followed through social profiles or the web, are first evaluated online , but also in specialized shops. In short, less bijoux of an industrial type, and more exclusive products or with unique characteristics.
A less positive figure, however, is the tendency of boys to buy basically on impulse. In short, with less information they tend to buy the first thing that moves them. Millenials girls will have different tastes but, like their mothers, they like to receive jewelry as gifts (it happened to 39% of the interviewees), even if some (about 24%) choose to buy them personally.
Which style prefers a Millenials? Nobody in particular, even if the choice is mainly on minimal or classic jewelry. For two thirds of the boys interviewed, jewels and bijoux have a special meaning and also represent a memory, the symbol of a relationship or a special moment of their life. But this also applies to their parents.

DiaColor and the colors of titanium

A titanium collection with many shades comes from India: it’s by DiaColor ♦

Those who still think of India as the country where you move on the back of an elephant must change your mind. India is not only a global economic power, but is also rapidly changing its culture and, therefore, its aesthetic standards. This collection it’s the evidence: it’s called The Many Shades of Titanium. It’s proposed by a New Delhi Maison, DiaColor.

To establish DiaColor was a third-generation jeweler, Rishabh Tongya.

Although most of DiaColor’s production is rather traditional, with large floral motifs, such finely chiselled gold, and with many colored stones, The Many Shades of Titanium collection is innovative in the Indian jewelry scene. Meanwhile, it does not use as a base the metal adored by the Indians, gold. Perhaps also because the Indian government’s policy has long discouraged the importation of the yellow metal. But in any case, using titanium is not easy for anyone. And the DiaColor collection presents bracelets, earrings, rings made by hand, with many colors (it is a characteristic of titanium to be colored) and with diamonds of first choice.
In shades of pink, deep blue, deep gold and aquamarine, the collection stands out in the jewelry scene of the great Asian country, but it can also be interesting for the western market. It is worth taking a look. Alessia Mongrando

It’s a boom for men’s jewelry





Increases the business of men’s jewelry. And many jewelers do not lose the opportunity ♦ ︎

There are men who do not want to hear about it. There are women who do not like men who wear them. Yet the New York Times has dedicated a long article to jewelry for men. Starting from an incontrovertible fact: you can like it or not, but global sales of luxury jewelry for men reached 5.3 billion in 2017, with an increase of 22% from 4.3 billion in 2012 (data from Euromonitor International, a market research company). Of course, explains the American newspaper, the figure remains far below that for women, estimated at $ 31.9 billion in 2017. But the male jewelry is a trend that increasingly affects the budgets of companies in the sector.

In the foreground, according to experts, there are rings.

In the US, for example, men’s rings generate a third of jewelery sales and are on the rise. In second place there are necklaces, usually chains, which generate a quarter of sales. Actors, rappers and successful athletes contributed to the trend, thanks to an intensive use of showy jewelry for men. There is, however, a problem: men are not (usually) used to wearing bracelets, rings and necklaces. After a few minutes they are annoyed. For this reason, there are producers who have started to offer comfort-fit jewels, that is, easy to wear. An idea that probably would not mind too many women. The trick consists, for example, in creating rings in which the metal band is arched, so that it is not completely in contact with the skin.

Many listed jewelers, such as David Yurman, have been offering men’s jewelery lines for some time.

The rings of David Yurman are also made of titanium, carbon, black diamonds and reach almost $ 8,000. And there are those, like the Italian Marco Dal Maso, who started by focusing more on jewelry for men than for women. Stephen Webster introduced his men’s line for the first time 20 years ago, and came out with a unisex collection last year. Furthermore, on the catwalks of the men’s fashion shows, big fashion brands such as Gucci, Dior or Chanel paraded models wearing showy necklaces. The Alexander McQueen men’s collection also included necklaces with black Swarovski crystals and medallion pendants.

Parades and experiences

But it seems that, apart from the larger dimensions, the philosophy that accompanies jewelry for men is also different. For example, there are many who seek jewels that have not only a decorative function, but also a meaning. This is why the American Maison Dune Jewelry introduced a collection of transparent discs containing sand ten years ago. But it is not any sand: it comes from around 3,300 specific places all over the world, such as Yankee Stadium, Dubai and Maldives beaches, or golf courses in Ireland. The pieces then become personalized and Dune calls this type “experiential jewel”. This also does business. Cosimo Muzzano

The secret inscription

Yeah, but what does Tanabata refer to? It is the name of the seventh night of the seventh month, ie July, and celebrates the meeting of two deities, Orihime and Hikoboshi, represented by Two Stars Innamorate Vega and Altair. In fact, each pair of earrings is attached to a strip of colored paper called Tanazaku, which symbolizes a silk thread intertwined by Orihime. Above the strip will be written a phrase to be discovered, as they use to do the Japanese on the day of Tanabata. To celebrate the love of the two stars, in fact, they hang from the bamboo trees of the tanazaku in which they write poems, prayers and desires turned to the stars.

Japanese legend

If you are curious to know the Japanese legend, here it is: in ancient times on the shores of the Celeste River (the Milky Way), lived the ’emperor of the sky, Tentei, whose daughter Orihime (Vega) spent his days weaving. When she reached adulthood, her father chose a husband: Hikoboshi (Altair), who was also a hard worker, whose job was to feed oxen through the shores of the Celestial River. For the two young people it was love at first sight but taken from love and passion, they also forgot about their duties. As a result, Orihime no longer wove his canvas, leaving the gods without clothes, and Hikoboshi’s oxen roamed uncontrollably across the sky. This unleashed the anger of Tentei and the two lovers were separated on the two sides of the Celestial River and forced to return to their duties. The princess was so desperate that Tentei, moved, allowed the two to meet, only once a year, the seventh day of the seventh month. Since then, a flock of magpies come every year, and they create a bridge with their wings, so that Orihime can cross the Celestial River and re-embrace his beloved Hikoboshi.

The jewels at the Venice Film Festival




Jewels and bejeweled on the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival. Here are the choices of the stars ♦ ︎

Let’s face it: not everyone at the Venice Film Festival goes to enjoy a good movie. The show, like in Cannes and at the Hollywood Oscars, also takes place outside, on red carpets and under the flashes of the photographers. Actresses and actors, necklines and high heels, hairstyles and, of course, many jewels: they are also the protagonists of these kermesse. So, at the Festival number 75, an actress with undoubted charm as Caterina Shulha matched the dress with white gold and diamond rings from the Piaget Possession collection.

Elisa Isoardi con anelli e bracciale di Pasquale Bruni

The presence of Pasquale Bruni’s jewels was massive at the Festival.

Elisa Isoardi, television host, wore the earrings and the Vento Flora and Zephyr ring, rings and bracelet from the iconic Giardini Segreti collection (“A dance of light leaves to live on one’s skin to feel like a flower in the most precious garden of life” , describes Eugenia Bruni, creative director of the Maison of Valencia). Also by Pasquale Bruni, the Ghirlanda earrings chosen by Georgina Rodriguez, with a dance of diamond petals “that give sensual and romantic gleams”.
The model Paola Turani is paraded on the red carpet with a Giardini Segreti Haute Couture ring, with emerald embraced by emerald paved leaves, the Stelle in Fiore earrings, and Giardini Segreti rings, in total gold and pink gold with pavé diamonds.

Violante Placido

Again Pasquale Bruni for the Italian actress Ilenia Pastorelli. For the red carpet of the film The Sisters Brothers, she wore rings and bracelets of the Sensual line, while Violante Placido chose the collar-jewel 4th Chakra: light diamond flowers, a heart woven with white gold threads and enriched by a drop of emerald and then the Lakshmi collection in total gold, with rose gold leaves inspired by the divinity that gives joy and luck.

Fiammetta Cicogna, on the other hand, wore a pendant in yellow gold with diamonds and aquamarine of more than 40 carats of Tiffany and earrings in platinum and diamonds from the Soleste collection of the same Maison.
At the opening ceremony Sveva Alviti, heroine of Lukas’ new film with Jean Claude Vandamme, wore the high jewelery necklace with Messika’s Marquise Firebird earring. Also from the Parisian queen of diamonds, the jewels of the British actress Claire Foy, known for her interpretation of Queen Elizabeth, winner of the Golden Globe in the original Netflix series, The Crown. For her, Messika’s three-fingered Mermaid ring. In Messika also Cristiana Capotondi, who paraded on the red carpet wearing Kashmir earrings. The famous Spanish actress Paz Vega chose the Calypso fine jewelry earring and the North Wind ring, while Melissa Satta the Glam’Azone XL rims, the double ring from the same collection and the My Twin Trio ring, also by Messika.
Chopard earrings, however, for Natalie Portman, protagonist of Vox Lux with a Gucci dress. The twin actresses Giorgia and Greta Berti, on the other hand, matched the Manila Grace look (Giorgia opted for a red jacket and trousers suit while Greta chose to wear a mermaid gown in shades of blue) to Marco Bicego’s jewels.

The diaphanous jewelry Kim Poor




Kim Poor, a Brazilian woman who works in Rio and London, is an artist who does not neglect any field, including jewelery ♦

From Brazil to New York, London and back: Elizabeth Kimball de Albuquerque Poor, or simply Kim Poor, is an artist and designer of the most famous between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Has obtained many awards, and in due course even compliments of Salvador Dali, who baptized his work with a word, Diaphanism, subsequently introduced in the Oxford Dictionary. She is an artist who paints in a style all his own, often inspired by the Amazonian nature. But Kim has also turned its attention to the world of jewelry. At 12 she had already participated in an exhibition in Brazil, then at 17 she moved to New York. The design school, in fact, Kim has attended in the American city, at the prestigious Parsons School of Art. Now works in London and Rio. As jeweler, Kim Poor is a perfectionist, who has the ambition to create works of art in miniature. The designs are inspired by nature, the emerald green reminiscent of Brazil, the iridescent opals like the wings of a butterfly. Sure, her jewelry do not seem very in tune with his paintings. But this, if you will, is not a bad thing. Lavinia Andorno

Repossi unisex




The basic collection Staple designed by Gaia Repossi and intended for both women and men ♦ ︎

Unisex. It’s very simple or, better, Staple. This is the name of the new collection of Gaia Repossi, minimalist designer of the Maison that bears her name (but it was founded in Turin by her grandfather, Costantin Repossi, in 1920). Now that Repossi is a brand that gravitates in the galaxy of giant Lvmh, which boasts a boutique in place Vendôme designed by the archistar Rem Koolhaas, and it’s been opened boutiques from Dubai to Macao, the new step is the Staple collection, proposed for women and men, at least to those who would wear a gold and diamond earring. It seems that the idea is also due to the partner of the designer, the artist Jeremy Everett. Also this mini collection is faithful to the essential style that distinguishes Gaia Repossi.
The search for lines reduced to a minimum and, at the same time, new, does not derive from the inspiration of other jewelers, from the past or the present, but from artists and architects such as Alexander Calder, Cy Twombly, Franz West, Richard Serra and Le Corbusier, the brutalist, minimalist movements and the Bauhaus. And she, before dedicating herself to jewelry, studied painting at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Then, at 19, he signed his first collection for Repossi, a diamond necklace to wear on a t-shirt. And in 2007, when she was 21, she was appointed creative director and designer of all Repossi collections. We can not say that she wasted time. Lavinia Andorno

GemGenève, here are the dates of the second edition




Registration is already open for the second edition of GemGenève: it will be held from 9 to 12 May 2019, they are now 140 firms ♦ ︎

The Swiss, according to a widespread opinion, are punctual. It is not right: they arrive well in advance, especially if it is jewelry. Here, then, is the new date set for the second edition of GemGenève: 9 – 12 May 2019. Ever at the Geneva Palexpo. After the success of the debut, at the end of May 2018, the organizers decided to replicate the experience, also at the request of the exhibitors who took part in the first edition. And, even if the dimensions of this jewelry fair are hardly comparable with those of nearby Basel, GemGèneve is in fact added to the ranks of the disgruntled “secessionists” of the management of Baselworld. To promote the event, in fact, are jewelers and merchants of Geneva, with over 70 years of experience: Thomas Faerber, owner of the fourth generation of the Faerber Collection, and Ronny Totah, co-owner of Horovitz and Totah. Both ex-exhibitors at the great Basel fair, but dissatisfied with the costs and management of the fair.
GemGenève, on the other hand, as well as a more accessible price for the participating jewelers, also offers a different, simpler atmosphere. His goal is to complete other fairs the EPHJ (high-precision watch fair) and the SIHH (fine watchmaking hall), which are always held in the Swiss city. GemGèneve, on the other hand, focuses on a mix of ancient, 20th-century and contemporary jewels and precious stones. The first edition was attended by some big Maison, like Gorgoglione, and small avant-garde boutiques, such as Nadia Morghentaler or Fabio Salini, as well as a small army of stone dealers. The announcement of the date of the second edition indicates that there are already those who have booked a place among the booths: currently there are 140 companies registered. The second edition starts with a bang.

Click: the jewels seen by Milena Mazza





The jewels seen by a top photographer: Milena Mazza ♦

It is not enough to produce jewels, we must also know how to show them. Let’s face it: 99 percent of jewelers choose the classic way to show them on a neutral background. It is usually a white or black surface, sometimes gray or of an indefinite color. In this way, attention is focused on the jewel, in agreement, but the emotion or the feeling that the object can connect with whoever buys it is not communicated. In short, it is the simplest solution, not wrong, but not even original. There are, however, other ways to portray jewels. For example, that of the great photographer Milena Mazza, who has chosen to combine the jewels with a glam, strong, emotional, dynamic and colorful image. Milena is one of the rare professionals who is able to show a jewel in a strong context without making it disappear but, on the contrary, exalting it. The idea of ​​this series of images was that of a shooting in which rings, bracelets and necklaces were worn by a model struggling with food & drink. The contrast in the images is strong: rings and bracelets in white gold and diamonds are worn while a woman rubs the dough for the pizza, with a hand full of strawberries squeezed rings. Or rings and bracelets with diamonds sparkle on hands that break the ice with an awl. The surprising effect is assured, and it is also a bit sensual.

From movement to the still life

Milena Mazza, a photographer, was born in Bologna, but started working in the cinema: “I was the first woman in Europe to be the assistant operator, that is the camera assistant when she was filming: a very important role technical”, she says. “For years, I’ve always worked, every day, until I found myself taking pictures at the request of a client and I found out that I liked it a lot more.” A wise choice. “I started working with the images because, as soon as I finished my studies, I decided to devote myself to what I was most passionate about, since a great part of life is spent working”. A profession in which, however, there are no surprises: “I had a thousand special requests, but the most unusual was to photograph a model on the toilet for an advertisement,” she says.

Malena Mazza also adds a tip to the readers of gioiellis.com: “If you want to try to photograph your jewel, it’s better to put it in direct sunlight”. The jewels, on the other hand, are not just a job: “What I most willingly wear are my emerald and brilliant earrings. I always wear them “, she smiles.

These gold rings are made in 3D




Gold or silver jewelery created with a 3D printer and with the design you prefer. By Spring and Wonder, a service of Shapeways ♦

3D Jewelry made in gold 14 carat? This is what Shapeways offers its customers (only in U.S.) by Spring and Wonder. And it does so through a process that is a mix of old and new techniques combined together. How it works: as for all other materials, namely silver, brass, bronze and steel, we start from the drawing. Which takes the form of wax with a 3D printer with high resolution. The next step is to put the model in a container where it is poured liquid plaster. When the plaster settles, the wax is dissolved with heat and remains a mold which is subsequently filled with molten gold. Once cooled and hardened, just break the chalk and then wipe and polish by hand the object to give it that sheen typical of gold jewelery. Where is the news? In the material. In fact, if the 3D technology has now become a habit for jewelers and designers to prototype, design complex shapes with geometries that are not possible through the traditional molds, now this option is also extended to the most precious metal. With some adjustments in the printing process. So did Nervous System, an art and design firm based in Somerville specialized in jewelry and accessories, to produce a bracelet in 18k gold.The process is based on interlocking components.

It is a system, called Kinematics, for printing 4D that creates complex foldable shapes, composed of a minimum of ten up to a thousand articulated modules that fit together to construct mechanical and dynamics structures. Each component is rigid, but the aggregate becomes a flexible set. But the assembly is not manual: hinge mechanisms are directly connected and printed in the 3D machine. The use of gold has been made ​​possible by the Direct Metal Laser Sintering technology of Cooksongold, which transforms the metal powder in indivisible compounds. There remains a problem: cost. For example, a pendant Shapeways 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm will spend about a thousand dollars. Not exactly cheap. Then you can settle for a 24-carat gold plating as that of Shootdigital, which produces 3D prints in nickel, black nickel, silver, copper and rhodium (platinum) and gold.

By Anastazio a mythical collection

//





The ancient myth of Meander in the jewelery collection of the Greek designer Anastazio ♦ ︎

Greece, in addition to being a popular tourist destination, is the country where western culture was born. There is no need to disturb the philosophy of Plato & c., The architecture of Fidia, the literature of Homer, the theater of Aeschylus, the mythology of Olympus (the list could go on) to know that this small country overlooking on the Mediterranean sea it is a sort of navel in the history of humanity. A necessary premise to explain how, even today, ancient Greece arouses interest and strong emotions. And that’s why even modern designers do not escape the desire to look for their roots.
Anastazio Kotsopoulos, founder and creative director of the Athens jewelery fair of the same name, Anastazio, has dedicated his new collection to the myth of Meandro, but with a modern design. If you don’t remember Greek mythology, you must know that Meander, son of Oceano and Thetis, on the occasion of the conflict with the city of Possene, vowed to the goddess Cybele to sacrifice the first person he would saw when he returned home if, in exchange, he had granted him the victory. But Meandro was unlucky (or punished for his request). In fact, he met his mother, sister and son Archelao. He killed them all three, as promised to Cybele, even if he then repented of his gesture and tormented by remorse he killed himself by throwing himself into the Anabenone river.
Looking back on the myth, Anastazio has now created a small collection of eight pieces. Seven pieces are in silver and 18-carat gold, while one piece is totally in gold. The jewels are enriched with orange and pink sapphires, amethyst and rutilated quartz. Please, if you wear them you do not make wrong requests to the gods.

Ippolita returns to Ippolita





Ippolita buy Ippolita. In New York Ippolita Rostagno returns to the brand guide she founded in 1999. Here are the autumn-winter jewelry ♦ ︎

Ippolita is back to being Ippolita. More precisely: the Italian designer Ippolita Rostagno, founder of the Maison that bears her name in New York, has returned to lead the company. Ippolita Rostagno, in fact, has acquired a majority share of the brand and holds the role of chief creative officer as well as Ceo. In essence, Ippolita bought back the brand that it had founded and then sold in 2007 to the private equity fund Castanea Partners.
Ippolita Rostagno launched her jewelery line in 1999. The philosophy of the brand is to create wearable jewelry on any occasion, for a woman active in society. Among other things, Ippolita Rostagno in 2015, has launched an e-commerce site for home decorations difficult to find and centered on luxury craftsmanship called Artemest. With the change of ownership Ippolita has also revolutionized the management of the Maison. What does not change, however, is the style of jewelry, as evidenced by the latest arrivals designed for the autumn-winter 2018. Cosimo Muzzano

Meghan Markle, boomerang effect for Birks




The other side of the Meghan Markle effect on the Canadian Birks ♦ ︎

Meghan Markle is in the spotlight. The people love the casual way of moving, the smile, some small transgression to the rigid label that surrounds the royal family. And, consequently, it also likes what she wears, including jewelry. We have already told about the Sussex Duchess’s preference for a Canadian jewelery brand, Birks (we talked about it here). When this predilection for the “Canadian Tiffany” was discovered, the jewels of that brand worn by Meghan Markle snapped up.

The earrings of Birks that Prince Harry’s wife wore at the time of the official engagement announcement were sold out in a few minutes
Do you think the Birks is satisfied? Yes and no. In an interview with Maclean’s, a Canadian magazine, the marketing manager and vice president of Birks, Eva Hartling, explained that the Meghan Markle effect is a double-edged sword for the jewelry company. “On the one hand is a textbook example of what should be the work of organic pr: a consumer in love with the brand (Meghan Markle) becomes the best known person on the planet. Obviously we do not complain. But all the image related to Birks right now has to do with the Duchess wearing our pieces. We are launching new collections for the fall, but nobody cares if the duchess does not decide to buy a piece and wear it”. In short, Birks suffers from dependence on the Duchess of Sussex: from his choices will depend on the success or a boomerang effect for the Canadian Maison. A truly royal power. Cosimo Muzzano

High jewelery, the Régalia of Vuitton

/




Louis Vuitton presents the new collection of high jewelry, Régalia, which marks the debut of Francesca Amfitheatrof ♦ ︎

It was a surprise to many the release of Francesca Amfitheatrof from Tiffany and the subsequent landing at Louis Vuitton, in April. And, still, many they were curious to observe the first steps of the new creative director for jewelry. Here they are satisfied, even if the new collection of fine jewelry, Conquêtes – Régalia, is likely to be the result at least in part of the previous work, since jewels of that type are made in long weeks of work, preceded by an equally long selection of stones.
Régalia is, therefore, a new chapter in the Conquêtes collection, and is inspired by the signs of kings and emperors, that is to say, to the heraldry (the codes of the coats of arms) and the study of the honors, orders and decorations. That said it looks like something a little dusty. But it’s just an inspiration. In reality it is the classic collection of high-end jewelry typical of Vuitton, where the emblem refers to the Maison, the letter V that repeats itself in the form of gold covered with diamonds and becomes the design around which the jewel rotates, or the four lobes of the flower of the Vuitton logo, always mentioned, but without the brand overwhelming the balance of the jewel.
The collection is quite large: Régalia consists of seven sets and around 60 pieces. A falls of diamonds, of course, but also an accurate research of the colored stones, around which the different pieces are composed. Large emeralds, but also red spinels, mint green tourmalines, large yellow sapphires, tsavorite. They are the same stones to be an emblem, of luxury and wealth. Giulia Netrese
