Ioanna Souflia, jewelry and myth

Published on October 15, 2016

Showroom

From the architects of ancient Greece to jewels stores of today: the collection by Ioanna Souflia.
Have you ever visited the Acropolis of Athens? Or, at least, some greek classical age temple? You dwelt on the decorative elements of the friezes, between one column and the other? Often it consist of a shape that in Italian is defined as palmettos, ie leaves of small palm. If, maybe, you don’t ever noticed it, here they are transformed into rings or earrings. And always with the same material of the greek temples, the marble. To make these jewels with classical motifs, is been Ioanna Souflia, Greek designer who works among London and Paris. In truth she had taken the first steps to become a lawyer. But as she studied Law in Athens, Ioanna also began his studies at Central Saint Martins in London. The result are these jewels in gold, diamonds and marble, or a gray stone from Sardinia. The stones are sculpted by her. The marble is hand carved and juxtaposed to the precious materials. The contrast is striking. They can please even those who are not interested in classical architecture. Rudy Serra

Ferragamo new Wedge

Published on October 15, 2016

Showroom

The Wedge collection by Ferragamo, inspired by the famous shoe with a wedge rainbow.
Already in the eighteenth century Venetian ladies used shoes with wedge, the thick sole capable of elevating the stature of the wearer. This special kind of shoe has had mixed fortunes but, in essence, has never gone out of fashion: it also bears witness to one of the objects of desire signed Ferragamo, the Rainbow Wedge, wedge shoe and rainbow colors. That shoe so different from the others, and for this so coveted, has turned into jewelry with the new Wedge Collection. The collection consists of ring, bracelet, pendant and earrings. The pieces are made of silver or the innovative combination of yellow gold, 18k rose gold and sterling silver. Let’s face it now: the design is reminiscent, in fact, the rolling movement of the Rainbow Wedge, but the reference stops there. Colors and impact of the jewels are completely different compared to the shoe that inspired them. Much more sober, the jewelry collection does not seem to be popped up since 1938, when the rainbow shoe was designed. He hopes, however, to become famous as the object to which it inspires.

Golden Nemesi

Nemesi: from Arezzo making jewelry consisting of a myriad of golden threads.
What revenge thought the six Boldi brothers when, in 1993, they founded Nemesi? To the jewelry company in Arezzo, who knows with what intention, has been assigned the name of a Greek goddess of justice, but punitive and excessive, able to upset the universe. Fortunately the production of Nemesi, now led by Simone Boldi, does not bother anyone. Meanwhile, because a large part of its production is sold under the labels of others Maison. And then, because the production of its brand jewelry, Nemesioro, is rather delicate: interweaving of golden threads forming surfaces of solids and voids, in the tradition of embroidery, but in random version. Signs collection, for example, has the noble metal wires composing earrings, rings, bracelets and pendants, in some cases also with the addition of small precious stones, such as rubies. Recently yellow gold has also added processing with white gold, creating curls of contrasting colors. Alessia Mongrando

Bjorg back to Milan with a new jewelry collection.
The new proposals by Bjorg go through also at White in Milan, an event somewhere between trendy fashion and accessories. The right time to the collections of the Maison with roots deep in northern Norway, but with residence in India and business in London. In short, the right mix to play the role of design devoted brand, but with a global soul. The company was founded in 2004 by Bjørg Nordli-Mathisen, after living, among others, in Paris and Milan. The artisan tradition with pieces one-of-a-kind along with the desire to translate the Nordic design in jewelry collections have helped spread the fame of the brand outside of the scope of the avant-garde fashion jewelry. As often happens in this type of jewelry, they are not precious stones or the carat of the metal to be important, but the very idea of the pieces. Made of silver and gold-plated with a desired raw finish, ie crude, the Bjorg jewelery were worn by David Bowie, Madonna, Rihanna, Robyn, J and Röyksopp. And with the years it has not lost its charm.

The globetrotting jewelry products in Valenza by Costantino Rota.
Do not expect to find around jewels with the brand Costantino Rota. Yet this company, which produces excellent pieces, will perform soon a century old. It was founded, in fact, in 1921 by the goldsmith Costantino Rota in Valenza. It seems that in addition to being a skilled craftsman, Costantino Rota also possessed a good sense of smell as an entrepreneur and, which is not bad, it was also appreciated. Its activity lasted until 1955, when he passed the helm to his son Dario, who continued his father’s business with the same attention to quality. On the other hand, in Valenza it is not difficult to recruit artisans with almost superhuman capacity and for this Maison from many other countries are turning to Valenza businesses to achieve their collections, which will then be sold under their brand name. And it is more or less what happens to Constantine Rota, detected by Cremonini & Malfatti, who sells her jewelry primarily abroad, in Europe and in Japan. The company transformed from a craft laboratory in a factory, did not want to give up their initial prerogatives. So if will pass under the eyes the jewelry products from Costantino Rota, you’ll never know. Giulia Netrese

Gizmodo: do not buy jewellery on Amazon

Published on August 30, 2016

news

Want to buy jewelry on Amazon? Beware: some time ago on one of the most popular technology websites, Gizmodo, an article appeared that accuses the jewels sold on the Amazon platform. Will it be just like the site writes? In any case, this article is worth reading ♦

"Do not buy jewelry on Amazon”. The frontal attack comes from a site well known to fans of technology: Gizmodo. The site has decided to charge headlong the largest online store founded by Jeff Bezos. The initiative is really strong. Gizmodo published an article under the lens by putting the offer of Amazon in terms of jewelry. It pointed the finger on trade policy. "We have asked the Gemological Institute of America to evaluate some of the articles," pressed Gizmodo. And the result was not encouraging. The first charge is a set of engagement ring with diamond". It is being sold for half its official price, 2 thousand dollars, but what you did exactly?" Asks Kristen Dowling, the expert gemological institute consulted by Gizmodo.

The expert has many doubts, from karat gold, 10K. "It means that there is only 41.6 % gold in the alloy, compared to 58.5% of 75% of 14K or 18K," notes the gemologist. Another objection concerns the diamonds: they are many, but tiny. "There are 25 diamonds! As you can imagine, small diamonds are much more common than large ones. If there was only 1 diamond weighing 0.99 carats then the price would be much higher." And the color ? The diamonds are graded G -H. " This means that there is very little yellow. In short, they have a good color, but unfortunately the classification I1-I2 Clarity means that they have many inclusions. It is natural minerals, which are imperfections inside the diamond." In short, it seems like a bargain " price does not signal an opportunity, but simply the value of the material used."

The judgment does not improve for a couple of gold earrings with garnets.

"The original price, $ 380, is outrageous," says Dowling. In fact, Amazon has lowered the cost to $ 150, which is "a relatively reasonable market value." But the devil is in the details: "The Sterling silver is very cheap and with the small amount of 14K gold in the value of the metal is very poor. Also, the garnets are a gem from the very low cost." Finally, thumbs down even earrings with white topaz and diamond blacks offered by large online retailer. Here too, the price is sure to impress: $ 200. But according to Gizmodo not be fooled. "I'm always impressed by the marketing techniques in the jewelry industry. Just as the definition of Diamonds Cognac and Champagne Diamonds (Diamonds that are of low quality, that no one would have bought before that marketing does not turn into interesting stones) Black Diamonds are very popular right now. But diamonds blacks are essentially low-quality stones, treated to turn into a vivid black. And the white topaz is a stone very common at low cost. A nice alternative to diamond, but does not have the fire and brilliance of diamonds. " Conclusion: " All three of these pieces have a beautiful appearance and a relatively good price. Many people tend to shop online for convenience and because it costs less. But those who seek quality is better to get into a jewelry store. "

Schermata della vendita online di gioielli su Amazon

Finally, the site launches into advice for those who want to buy their jewelery online. Here they are:

1) The credibility of the seller: go see the real dealer. See if it has a different site than Amazon, for example, there is an engagement ring with no user reviews on Amazon. But perhaps the actual site of the retailer and try the same jewelry you can find other information, as well as on social networks.

2) Watch out for details: many adjectives or definitions are the result of clever marketing. Words such as " Tiffany " or " emerald " can be misleading. For example, " Tiffany assembly " does not mean that it is a ring from Tiffany. Similarly, " emerald " does not mean that it is a real emerald, but green glass. Examine well the words of the description.

3) Quality: The value of jewelry are made of silver, gold or platinum. " Gold colored 'is not a precious metal. The symbol means a PVD coating (acronym of Physical Vapour Deposition) with which there are carryovers metal surface in the form of films very very thin.

4) Seeing is believing: Diamonds are judged by the four C's: cut (cut), color, carat and clarity. There are things you can try until you can not see. Do not you know what you're buying until you're holding lA.

5) Shipment: It is a good idea to make sure when you pay several hundred dollars or Euros via the internet. And make sure you can return the jewelry if it does not meet your expectations

Where it will arrive Thomas Sabo? It’s right question given the flurry of initiatives of the German designer, who has built an empire on accessible jewelry. The latest move is the opening of the first flagship store in New York. In a nutshell, it has the Usa in the viewfinder. But the brand is also expanding in Europe, including Italy. Born in 1961 in Nuremberg, Thomas Sabo studied by precision engineer. But (the cases of life …) began to import jewelry from Asia. With the years then he decided to produce jewelry, and more, up to expand the business. Now it is one of the leading companies worldwide in jewelry, watches and beauty products. The jewelery is mainly in sterling silver, with an oriental design, or with minimal forms and structures. Charms, Karma Beads, individual beads to combine with bracelets Love Bridge, but also earrings. The models Georgia May Jagger and Marlon Teixeira, are the faces of the brand. In Italy, the German company has just initiated an agreement with Partners, a Neapolitan company that should accompany the expansion in the Mediterranean market. To give an idea of size, Thomas Sabo (1400 employees) cooperates internationally with 2,600 jewelers and business partners, 275 retail outlets (119 shop-in-shops and 156 stand-alone stores) on five continents, with a list that includes 2,000 products. In short, a panzer of jewelery. Federico Graglia
