Shiva does not live, as you might think, with his wife Parvati and her two children, and his two sons, Ganesha and Kartikeya, somewhere in a remote area of India. For three generations Shiva it is in the Caribbean, specifically in Aruba and St Maarten, and produces jewels. The name of the Hindu deity was chosen by Alwani, a family from the Asian sub-continent, for the company that deals in diamonds and precious stones, and also jewelry. “Our extensive network”, they explains, “it allows us to buy stones in large volumes directly to Israel, Amsterdam and Switzerland, thus eliminating the brokerage commissions and this translates into savings for our customers. Our stores offer a wide range of certified diamonds from 1 to 10 carat in any form and size, and diamond jewelry. ” In a nutshell, if you’re planning a Caribbean vacation you also have the opportunity to take a look at Shiva jewels, intended as jewelry. Here they are. Lavinia Andorno

In Turkey, in fact, begins the story of this company of jewelry is no accident that the Phrygian kingdom was at the center of Anatolia. It all starts with Sait Altundag, a boy born in Midyat in 1960, with great artistic talents and began conme young apprentice in a small jewelry store. His passion for jewels led him to design a belt to his wife Nicme, to wear on the wedding day. Very romantic.

The company, named Midas in 1985, has expanded: the shops in Australia are managed by Emanuel and Andy, the Istanbul store is entrusted to John, to New York to Ben. The story continues.

Tracey Emin and Stephen Webster

Showroom

She is an English artist Tracey Emin known to turn her autobiography into a work of art, a kind of intimate diary in which mixes objects of real life, with effects very, very provocative. He is the British rock-and-roll jeweler Stephen Webster. Together they collaborated on a collection that promises to be controversial. For example, a gold bracelet with kitten-shaped pendants, a badger, a hare but also a penis. Are you fainted? It’s not the case. There are also jewelry that do not cause scandal, made in gold and diamonds, although inspired by the neon shapes designed by Tracey Emin. Or words, in gold, as “With you I breathe”, “I Promise To Love You,” which is a neon created six years ago to the Webster boutique, and “More passion”. What is linking a jeweler with an artist transgressive? Well, the friendship in private life: they are friends from forty years, both are grew up in Kent, are both sponsors of the two younger daughters Mick Jones, member of the legendary punk band The Clash.

Nina Ricci, the rebel

Published on January 9, 2016

Showroom

Maria Nielli, born in 1883 in Turin, Italy, has become one of the biggest names in French fashion with the name of Nina Ricci. The name comes from his childhood nickname, Nina, and the surname of her husband, Luigi Ricci, a descendant of a Florentine jeweler. It is therefore not surprising that, in addition to clothing lines and perfumes, the French brand also propose jewelery collections. To achieve them, however, it is not directly Nina Ricci, but a French history as old, the GL Group, a leading provider of jewelers and watchmakers. First major French manufacturer, has received the label of Living Heritage Company and Joaillerie de France. It is they who create jewelry collections as Insoumise (meaning not submissive, rebellious), mostly amde with metal rhodium yellow gold or silver. The collection is certainly not high jewelry, but still they retain a own personality and, above all, a style that is inspired by the brand’s parent company. Margherita Donato

Jacqueline Kennedy, con il marito, il presidente degli Stati Uniti, John Kennedy

Americans love myths: one of these is Jacqueline Kennedy. She has been the wife of the assassinated US president, John Kennedy, and then Mrs. Onassis, and she is still a model of elegance combined with richness. Jacqueline still has many fans and admirers. For this, perhaps isn’t too surprising to find that there are those who sell reproductions of jewelry that belonged to the former first lady. If you want to buy earrings, necklaces and bracelets, all realy fake, you can go on www.thejacquelinekennedycollection.net, which offers a wide selection of jewelry, or rather reproductions of jewelry made of faux pearls and Swarovski crystals, with golden plating. The jewels were made by Camrose & Kross and “every piece reflects the impeccable taste and charisma radiating from one of the most enduring legacies of this century.” They do not cost much, but manufacturers warn to avoid direct contact with cologne, perfume, hair spray, or cosmetics. And to use a soft cloth to remove any sweat or cosmetics that have accumulated on your pearls from general wear and tear. Another tip: Keep pearls separately from other jewelry to protect their surface. Margherita Donato

There is a date on which Cindy Chao has become a myth: 2004 year. In that year the designer of Taiwan has established her brand. She has set up her jewelry, 36 pieces a year, not one more, not one less.

The mother, a businesswoman, has instead donated to be capability of stay on market. After attending the Gemological Institute of America in New York, Cindy is back on the island and founded Asian Cindy Chao, The Art of jewel. He has forged ahead: in 2007, became the first Taiwanese jewelry designers to participate in a Christie’s auction in New York. Her jewels are mostly unique pieces.

The high jewellery shine less?

Published on November 19, 2015

money

The trend recurs every time someone points out that fashion is not a fashion. Or, at least, that isn’t chic to be chic. The thesis, reported by the magazine online Jck, is by Sarah Quinlan, senior vice president and head of the group of analysts on the market of MasterCard Advisors. That means a company that studies where they go consumption. According to the expert, while total sales of jewelry have increased in recent months, the high end of the market shows weakness. According to Quinlan, spending is held back by high volatility in equity markets, by the decline of tourists in the United States, because of the strong dollar, and the re-emergence of the so-called “sin of luxury.” “It is no longer chic to be chic,” says Quinlan, according to which “the people have chosen not to show off their wealth.” The jewelry industry, in any case, will continue to go well, also because to receive as a gift a ring or a necklace is an experience that generates memory and, therefore, remains fixed in time. So, while clothing sales are falling, the jewels are supported by something that goes beyond fashion. Although the generation of Millennials watch the jewels of the medium price range.

The bracelets armed by Ai Weiwei

Published on November 18, 2015

Ai Weiwei is a Chinese artist best known. His statements and his cultural proposal are discussed, but it is indisputable the fame conquered in the West. Among his most famous installations are works made with 99 tons of steel, or 8 million sunflower seeds. Now the Chinese artist, surprisingly, has made a collection of jewelry. For the debut was chosen London, in the gallery of Elisabetta Cipriani: the British city is more receptive to the ideas of Ai Weiwei than Beijing. “I have always loved jewelry, history, the sense of the past,” explained the creative Chinese. The result are armors of gold in miniature, bracelets of different lengths. Armor in the sense of the iron rods which support the concrete pillars of buildings. The idea of the collection, in fact, refers to a tragic event: the earthquake in China in 2008 killed 90 thousand people under the rubble. Ai Weiwei has visited the disaster sites and it remained troubled. And he collected 200 tons of twisted steel bars. A form that has now decided to turn into jewelry, in memory of that event tragic. In any case, “I loved working with the 24-carat gold, because it is very malleable,” he told at New York Times. Federico Graglia
