How many things can you do with a paper clip? In an office several. But even in jewelry the shape of the clip can give life to many dreams. As in the case of the Clip collection launched just a year ago by Gismondi 1754 and which now arrives at the launch at the Couture in Las Vegas in a version of high jewelery. The shape is always the same: a double line in pink or white gold that folds back on itself and matches the end. In short, a soft but, above all, precious staple.

We close the year with strong growth and with great enthusiasm we are projecting ourselves towards the objectives that will see us as protagonists in the coming months. We are facing extraordinary results, despite the fact that the context, between Covid and the international situation, was not the easiest to deal with. We are aware of the global difficulties and will continue to work with great attention, but we are equally convinced of the affirmation of the brand globally. All sales channels have performed and contributed positively to the achievement of these data and we cultivate a rational optimism that 2022 can also be characterized by growth and expansion in strategic markets where we are already present.

The result was driven by the growth of the Wholesale channel, both at European level (+1.9 million euros compared to 2020) and in the United States (+1 million compared to 2020), but also by special sales, the “tailor-made” of the brand, which close 2021 up by 16%, with sales of almost 4 million.

Situation “made extremely difficult by the exceptional nature of the events that characterize the current context, of which the Russian-Ukrainian conflict represents a new strong element of instability at the geopolitical, economic and financial markets”. Despite this, “the excellent performance of the months of January, February and March, with strong growth compared to the first quarter of 2021, bodes well for the 2022 trend”. The company also envisages “the continuation of the expansion policy in the various channels, with particular attention to the American market, which is in great expansion, to that of the United Kingdom and to the Gulf area, which has already given the first flattering results already in 2021 and in the first quarter of 2022. The opening of the new directly managed shop in Rome, inside the Regina Baglioni Hotel in Via Veneto, is also expected, following the framework agreement with the well-known hotel chain. Also with Baglioni, the opening of a new directly managed store in Milan is planned “.

Clip Mia and Sintesi for the springtime by Gismondi 1754

///




Variations on the Clip theme. Spring music for Gismondi 1754 plays new notes that start from the music of the Clip collection, presented last fall.

Clip Mia is proposed as a young and dynamic collection, which reflects a contemporary lifestyle.

A deconstruction that keeps only the essential elements, reaching the minimalism of the form and the purity of the sign.

We are very satisfied because these results are part of a very difficult market context globally and in a sector, that of luxury, which is recording widespread losses overall. Gismondi 1754 grows against the trend and for this reason the value of + 7% in the first 9 months of 2020 acquires an even more significant value because, beyond the economic aspect, the Company today has its own recognisability that allows us to maintain our standards without compromising our characterizing principles, both in the artisanal creation of our collections and in the highly loyal relationship with our customers, which goes beyond the sale of a jewel.

In fact, the Maison is from Genoa, a seaside city. The jewels, in fact, are inspired by the fossils seen by the Ceo Massimo Gismondi at the Natural History Museum.

From the East, however, the new entry is Nicholas Lieou, a high-end jewelry designer based in Hong Kong. We already saw her jewels last year in GemGèneve, but theis fair won’t be held this year. Nicholas Lieou started out as an apprentice for London-based jeweler Shaun Leane. And he was also design director for high-end bespoke jewelry for Tiffany & Co.

Finally, another new name for Tefaf is that of Tatiana Verstraeten, a Belgian designer who prefers jewels with long fringes, such as the earrings with a shower of pearls of the image on this page. Tatiana practiced at Chanel under the supervision of Karl Lagerfeld and acquired the secrets of French master craftsmen. A year ago she opened a showroom on Place Vendôme and, as if that were not enough, she allocated part of the proceeds from the sale of her fringed earrings to UN Women France, with the aim of promoting gender equality and the emancipation of women. women. Cate Blanchett and Eva Longoria, who bought her jewelry, appreciate it. Federico Graglia
