The first Petra by Giovanni Raspini

///




Petra, one by Giovanni Raspini new collections, focuses on volume and the sense of matter. As always, silver is the basis of the collections of the Tuscan Maison. But on some occasions, such as in the Petra line, alongside the natural metal jewelry, there is also a version in gold-plated silver. The texture of the worked metal, with wrinkles and small folds, suggest a studied minimalism. But the name of the collection, Petra (poetic variant of the Italian word stone), alludes to the choice of creating an apparent roughness of the surfaces of the jewels.

The remarkable volume of the jewels, almost oversized, to underline a strong character of the collection. But the inside of the circles of bracelets and earrings is empty, and this allows you to wear these voluminous jewels without feeling their weight. The silver version collection includes a pendant, a ring, an earring and a bangle, while the gilded silver version is limited to an earring and a rigid bracelet.

Sicily by Giovanni Raspini

///




Tuscan silver goes to Sicily. It is the silver of Giovanni Raspini, who chooses the Italian island as the source of inspiration for his new collection: Sicily. With a novelty by the standards of the Florentine brand: burnished silver and worked as always with a sculptural style, in the Sicily collection is also accompanied by small freshwater pearls. Pearls and silver alternate on bracelets and necklaces for a contrast that enriches the jewels and adds a baroque tone. It is no coincidence that Sicily boasts a rich heritage of architecture and art from this artistic style.

Not only that: in homage to the Mediterranean Sea, which surrounds the coasts of the island, alongside the pearls there are also silver castings in the shape of shells, sea urchins, starfish and small luminous spheres. A style that, in addition to paying homage to Sicily, recalls the upcoming summer atmospheres. Giovanni Raspini’s Sicily collection offers two necklaces, three bracelets and four earrings.

Giovanni Raspini on the Silver Thread

///


x



One of Giovanni Raspini‘s new collections for spring 2021 is called Fili (threads) and is made, like others, with the lost-wax casting technique. As it is known, it is an ancient technique used for sculptures that was even introduced in the Bronze Age. According to archaeological findings, the lost wax technique was used as early as 3500 BC. by the Sardinian populations and has known a considerable diffusion especially in the art of Sardinia (Italy) and then in Greek and Roman art and in monumental sculpture.

Pendente della collezione Fili

The Fili collection uses the lost-wax casting technique to sculpt the volumes of the silver jewels, with an accentuated burnishing to accentuate the design. The jewels, in fact, are designed as if a silver thread were wrapped around it. In this way the movement is enhanced and the repetition of the stylistic concept achieves an interesting chiaroscuro effect. The collection features two necklaces, two bracelets, two rings and two hoop earrings.

Giovanni Raspini, silver scales

///


x



A silver jewelry collection inspired by a fox’s skull. It is a rather unusual idea. But it must be added that Giovanni Raspini’s Skin collection for spring-summer 2021 is, in reality, the continuation of an artistic creation by the Florentine jeweler: the Skull of Fox necklace, one of the pieces that were part of the Jewels from a Wunderkammer. In the exhibition, Raspini’s creativity was expressed in unique pieces in which gilded silver was used together with hydrothermal quartz in various colors and, in the case of the necklace, together with a fox skull that had belonged to a Florentine painter.

The Skin collection takes up the motif of juxtaposed scales, used for the jewel that appeared in the exhibition, and adapted to the design of two necklaces, two bracelets, two rings and two earrings. The jewels are made with blackened silver, the slightly irregular contours add a hint of naturalist realism in the reproduction of the scales inspired by the animal world.

Giovanni Raspini, Autumn Flat

////




Flat, without corner. But with curves. A new collection of silver jewelry by Giovanni Raspini, a Tuscan brand specializing in white metal processing, is called Flat in homage to simplicity. Not everyone is looking for elaborate silver workings, or a design that is too elaborate. Sometimes it is better to opt for the more immediate route which, in this case, seems to have been largely achieved.

Anello Flat a spirale

The jewels of the Flat collection represent the essentiality of circular shapes, together with the strength of the effect generated by the hand-hammered metal, which gives silver a particular brightness. The silver jewelry line offers a necklace, five bracelets, three earrings and two rings. In a bracelet and a ring, there is a special spiral shape that multiplies the movement of the jewel. They are simple jewels, which can be combined with any type of dress and worn on virtually any occasion.

Giovanni Raspini Ad Astra

///




An ancient Latin motto says: per aspera ad astra. That is, through the asperity until to the stars. It is a good saying that needs to be repeated, especially in this difficult period. In short, the stars are an ideal destination, until they truly will become a tourist resort like many others. But, for now, you have to be content with looking at them from afar, or wearing them.

Collezione Ad Astra

In this last case we are dealing with virtual stars, symbols, such as those of the Ad Astra collection by Giovanni Raspini, a Florentine jeweler and silversmith. The crescent moon is the star of this collection. In this is case it’s made of partly burnished silver. The collection takes shape from the stylistic synthesis between small silver spheres and natural freshwater pearls, in a classic and at the same time contemporary mix. The Ad Astra collection includes a pendant, a bracelet, a double necklace, three types of earrings and a ring. In addition to a good dose of fascination for the stars in the sky.

Giovanni Raspini, Petra collection

//




Petra is a Latin word that means rock. It is also the name of an ancient city with buildings carved directly into the mountain in Jordan. But now it is also a collection by Giovanni Raspini, a Tuscan brand specializing in silver jewelery. Predictably, the Petra collection is inspired by nature and, in particular, by the world of minerals. But it does not use gems: to show the bond with stones and rocks, the jewels of the collection instead show a particular texture, which appears as carved and engraved by light.

The jewels in the collection are made of investment casting and include a necklace, two bangles with spring opening, two earrings and two rings, all in silver. The same objects, apart from the two rings, are also offered in gilded silver, with a process that completely changes the effect of the metal. Even if of generous volumes, in any case, the jewels of the Petra collection are rather light to wear. Prices: the necklace costs 690 euros in the silver only version, 790 euros in gold-plated silver.

Giovanni Raspini in chains with Caesar




Chains are perhaps one of the oldest models of jewelry. In addition, of course, a way to transform metal into a robust connection system. But the chain links are not all the same. And this consideration applies above all to jewelry, where designers and simple craftsmen have been trying for centuries to reinterpret the concept of chain in an innovative way. The latest in order is the Italian jeweler Giovanni Raspini, focused on silver.

Bracciale e collana indossati
Bracciale e collana indossati

The designer proposes Caesar, a new type of crushed Byzantine link chain, with great visual impact and extraordinary wearability in contact with the neck and wrists. Curiously, the collection was dedicated to the great leader of ancient Rome. But this name is not related to its shape. Caesar is declined in a necklace and two bracelets, with mesh sizes proportional to the type of jewel. Obviously the jewels are in silver.

The three Fuego bracelets by Giovanni Raspini

/




For Giovanni Raspini 2020 is a year of Fuego. This is the name of the new collection proposed by the Tuscan jeweler specializing in silver. Raspini’s jewels are always designed to enhance the bright reflections of shiny silver together with the dark shades of oxidized metal: a contrast that increases volumes and gives movement to the surface of the jewel. It is, however, a mini collection consisting only of three pieces: bracelets of the large, small or medium size.

Bracciale Fuego grande
Bracciale Fuego grande

The Fuego bracelet is, however, a unique jewel in the panorama of “slave bracelets”. It has origin from a silver plate that is modeled and transformed by fire, creating a different texture for each creation. Silver and flame, an entirely manual, almost primitive and ancestral manufacturing defines it as the Maison. And, in fact, the basic shape of these bracelets is reminiscent of ancient jewels, of the Etruscans, of the Romans, of the Greeks. A sign that there are models that challenge fashions, but also centuries of history.

Giovanni Raspini’s Berries for spring 2020

///




Environment, nature, woods: in spring 2020 Giovanni Raspini lets himself be enchanted by the sylvan atmospheres, naturally interpreted with the use of silver. An organic plant-naturalistic inspiration is, in fact, the basis of the Berries collection. Berries were one of the main sources of nourishment for ancient men and still are for many wild animals. In short, they are among the fruits of nature that have the greatest ties with us.

Orecchini in argento Berries

To create these jewels Giovanni Raspini used the ancient technique of lost wax casting which went alongside that of burnishing. The organic element of the small stylized berries is used as if it were a pattern, with an interpretation linked to the most figurative and romantic soul of the Giovanni Raspini brand and it is what gives life to the Berries collection. With a stylistic choice characterized by the strong chiaroscuro between the polished and burnished areas, Berries offers three necklaces, three bracelets, two rings and three earrings.

Giovanni Raspini on the lunar surface

///





Giovanni Raspini brings the surface of the moon to our earth. Or, more precisely, it presents a collection inspired by the appearance of the lunar surface, all covered by craters. The Moon Bowl collection is also a legacy from the Super Bowl best seller line, from which it takes some aspects. Bracelets and earrings are offered in three sizes and in two versions: gilded silver or simple silver. The design is designed to make jewelry pleasant: the bracelets have a “half moon” section with spring opening.

The silver plate is hammered by hand, while the design of the jewels is rather simple. The collection consists of three silver bracelets and four earrings, both in gilded silver and in natural metal.

Silver hearts for Valentine’s Day with Giovanni Raspini. The Tuscan company, which last year opened a store in London and one in Milan, in via Spiga, for the feast of lovers offers a selection of jewels from its most important collections.

The Moon Flower collection by Giovanni Raspini: silver and labradorite

//

Is it time to think about spring too for jewelry? The Moon Flower collection by Giovanni Raspini, it’s truth, can be adapted to all seasons. But it is a fact that flowers are almost always associated with spring. Hence, Moon Flower can easily be connected to the season in which nature awakens.

Pendente Moon Flower

But not only that: there is also the idea of the moon, which brings flowers across an unusual horizon. Moon Flower is a naturalistic collection made of silver, but the iridescent reflections of the rainbow labradorite, also called moonlight stone, shine among the burnished metal petals. The combination of the silver floral decoration and the delicacy of this natural stone (ranging from blue to blue and gray) makes the collection very elegant. Moon Flower is proposed in a necklace, a pendant, two earrings, a bracelet and two rings.

Giovanni Raspini’s silver bamboo

////





Bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings in the shape of bamboo in the collection of Giovanni Raspini ♦ ︎

Bamboo, in nature, includes about 650 genera and 9,700 species. In short, it is one of the most common plants, especially in Asia. It is also one of the most used in the world, and thanks to its robustness this plant has been defined as vegetable steel, for its extraordinary mechanical resistance to compression and traction. Bridges, houses and even bicycles were built with bamboo. But, of course, a bamboo jewel is not exactly what every woman wants, even if there are bracelets and necklaces composed thanks to this ductile vegetal. But if the bamboo turns into silver, the liking increases.

Giovanni Raspini, orecchini a cerchio grandi
Giovanni Raspini, orecchini a cerchio grandi

This is exactly what happened with the Bambù collection by Giovanni Raspini, which includes a bracelet with the shape of bamboo in silver fusion, but also a necklace and earrings. The jewels are created by mixing the bamboo texture with the electroformed tubular element. The result is a very light and luminous jewel. The collection includes two necklaces, three bracelets, four earrings and two rings, both in silver and gold silver versions. Prices: the silver necklace costs 580 euros, the ring 150 euros, the maxi earrings 180 euros.

A crocodile for Giovanni Raspini

The texture of crocodile skin in a new collection of silver jewelry signed Giovanni Raspini ♦ ︎

The animal terrifies anyone when the beast is in an African river or in the Florida swamps. But when it is transformed or, more precisely, forced to turn into bags, shoes and belts, the crocodile is also appreciated by humans. The scaly skin of the reptile, in fact, properly worked has always been considered a luxury in the fashion world. But also jewels.

In this case, however, true crocodiles can sleep quiet dreams, since their thick skin is only evoked. As in the case of the Coccodrillo collection by Giovanni Raspini, which refers to one of the classic themes of the brand, offering a luminous jewel, made in electroforming. The textures of the crocodile skin integrate with the simple elegance of the non-burnished tubular elements, giving life to a play of reflections. The collection is offered in two versions, in silver and gilded silver, and includes three necklaces, three bracelets, six earrings and two rings. Prices: a Crocodile ring costs from 125 (mini version) to 170 euros. The Crocodile light necklace 580 euros, earrings 125 or 160 euros. Lavinia Andorno

The jewelry of sea




The jewels inspired by the sea: perfect to be worn in August, but even better in the other months of the year ♦

The month of August, in the northern hemisphere (ie the one that goes from the North Pole to the equator), coincides with the hottest month, often destined for all or part to holidays. And often the holidays have a color: the blue of the sea. Waves, fish, crabs, starfish, hedgehogs are also the symbols that jewelers from all over the world and from all ages have used to bring the taste of the sea into a jewel. Brooches, rings, earrings, pendents with the symbols of the sea, including waves, are for this reason one of the most recurrent sources of inspiration. In short, the sea is a reason that shows no sign of passing out of fashion. And marine-themed jewels are not necessarily be worn in the summer.

Anello Wirnpa, oro giallo, zaffiri, acquamarina
Daniela Villegas, anello Wirnpa a forma di granchio in oro giallo, zaffiri, acquamarina

In any case, here are lobsters, crabs, octopus, shrimp, a red fish and even a shark. In jewelery the seabed is populated by many precious fish with different names: Tiffany, Sicis, Pippo Perez, Lokman Kursunlu, Misis, Stephen Webster, Chopard, Lydia Courteille, Chantecler, S’Agapò, Ayala Bar … Some take up the mythology Greek, as associates of the god Neptune, others seem to come from the book of Jules Verne 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and still others resemble Dory, Brutus and Randa, Marlin’s traveling companions in Finding Nemo. In silver and enamel, or in gold, platinum and diamonds, colorful and playful like in animated or stylized and luxurious films, fishes are friends, non food. G.N.

The hammered silver balls of Giovanni Raspini’s Mini Bowl bracelets ♦ ︎

Spheres, balls, globes: which other geometric element is more used in jewelry? Maybe the ring. If you then join the balls to the rings, here are the jewels of the Bowl and Mini Bowl series, with many variations, by Giovanni Raspini.

They are jewels designed for a young audience and for everyday use. Nothing to do with ceremonies or anniversaries, but to wear while going to school or work. Mini Bowl, for example, is a bracelet made up of many small balls in hammered silver, proposed in eight different types. The jewel is inspired by the Super Bowl collection, and despite its small size it retains the same visual impact. The bracelet was designed for multiple use, mixing the eight variations, including the use of black volcanic stone and various decorations. Alessia Mongrando

Giovanni Raspini with Paillettes

The Paillettes collection by Giovanni Raspini: silver to offer a moment of lightness ♦

Sequins, or paillettes in lingua francese, are associated with parties, moments of fun, frivolity. Therefore, it’s ok combine sequins with wearable jewels, perhaps for those moments of leisure. Light, bright, brilliant: the sequins are also the protagonists of the silver collection signed by the Maison of Florence Giovanni Raspini.

The Paillettes collection is composed of jewels that use the shape of small ovals, those that make up sequins, as a pattern.

Giovanni Raspini, anello in argento

The small silver lenticular elements do not form figures, but are scattered irregularly on the jewel, even with different dimensions. The jewels are in silver, entirely handmade by means of lost wax casting, with a design that is attentive to wearability. A pendant, a necklace, two bracelets, two earrings and two rings were made.

The Panthers by Giovanni Raspini

Giovanni Raspini’s panthers: silver becomes a shining sculpture ♦ ︎

Sometimes the jewels roar. The big cats, in fact, are among the favorite subjects of designers, artisans or big Maison. Difficult to escape the charm of the big cats that live in wild spaces and hunt the prey with an innate elegance. Giovanni Raspini is also part of this group of admirers.

The Tuscan Maison, in fact, launches the Panthera collection: jewels that focus on the sculptural aspect of the jewel.

Giovanni Raspini, orecchini Panthera

It is not the first animal that becomes the subject of a collection of the brand specializing in silver jewelry. But unlike other animal jewelry, made of burnished silver, Panthera offers a hand-hammered tubular element on which a completely smooth and shiny silver-plated feline lies. A dazzling white, in short, to emphasize the lines of the feline. The contrast between the support and the reproduced animal is of great impact. The Panthera collection is offered with a necklace, a pendant, three bracelets, and an earring.

Giovanni Raspini at the sea with the Nautilus

The sea seen through the Giovanni Raspini Nautilus collection: silver, opal and rock crystal ♦ ︎

You do not have to be Sherlock Holmes to guess what is the leitmotif of the Nautilus collection, by Giovanni Raspini. It’s elementary: it’s about the marine environment. In view of spring and summer, the sea returns to occupy the thoughts of women, assuming that the charm of the waves and beaches has never been abandoned.

The Nautilus collection by Giovanni Raspinisi is inspired, in fact, the marine world, but also the submarine one.

Giovanni Raspini, anello della collezione Nautilus
Giovanni Raspini, anello della collezione Nautilus

In the large necklaces or earrings there are, in fact, figurative elements that recall the environment of the water: they are made from microsculptures in wax, which then give rise to the fusion in silver. Nautilus depicts corals, madrepores, shells, anemones: a coral reef transformed into a jewel, thanks also to the deep and iridescent blue of the opal dubbed with rock crystal. In the collection are a necklace, a pendant, two bracelets, a ring and two earrings. Lavinia Andorno
