Officina Bernardi becomes Hyper

Published on December 4, 2021

Orecchini Enigma in oro e rondelle in rubini

The history of Officina Bernardi began 35 years ago by two Venetian goldsmiths, the brothers Francesco and Carlo Bernardi, first with the production of silver jewelry and more recently also in gold. Successful jewels, such as those of the Moon line, have also been offered in the United States and now they also have a home in Milan with a new single-brand store, which is added to the other 800 points of sale including jewelers, boutiques and department stores. But in addition to commercial expansion, Officina Bernardi has also expanded the marketing dictionary, adding the definition hyper to its production.

In short, necklaces, bracelets and earrings have become Hyper-Jewelry. According to the company, being Hyper means “always questioning the present, maintaining the constant desire to improve, experiment and create, pushing matter beyond the limit. They are so statement jewels, which remain impressed not through a simple logo, but in the shapes full of meanings that compose them and in the quality of their workmanship ». Alongside the original faceted spheres, Officina Bernardi’s jewels now offer a soft structure, in white or yellow gold, with the addition of precious stones, such as diamonds, sapphires and rubies set in small crowns.

The new gold jewels of the globetrotter designer Ivi Kyratzi ♦ ︎

From Cyprus to England, from England to New York, from New York to Los Angeles, from Los Angeles to Tuscany, from Tuscany to Milan. And New York. The designer Ivi Kyratzi is a globetrotter who, she says, has been in contact with the world of luxury since birth, because her family runs a high-end chain of stores on the island between Greece and Turkey.

Before turning to jewelry, just three years ago, she studied economics in the UK and fashion design at Parsons in New York City. The conversion to the world of jewelry took place through her experience in retail: she discovered that customers are looking for a jewel that can stand the test of time, but without spending a fortune. A reflection quite common to other jewelers.

A concept that the designer communicated to Gabriele Veneri, of Beads & Co by Semar, a company based in Arezzo specialized in gold components for jewelry. Creativity and managerial experience, in short, have come together for the launch of Ivi, the jewelery brand Ivi. Style? The presented collection is defined as strongly inspired by vintage jewelry and recalls the old color of gold, as well as the fashion of the late seventies, eighties and early nineties.

The metals that are friends for the skin

Guide to Choosing the right metal for earrings and piercings ♦

Navel, the nasal septum, and, of course, the ears: earrings and piercings can be the kind of jewelry that you prefer, but have contraindications. Your skin, in fact, sometime could not tolerate the contact with some types of metal. How to know? For starters, if your skin turns black when you wear jewelry in silver or other metals, it is likely that you are allergic to nickel, element used very often alloyed with other. This problem can become more serious if the metal comes into contact with parts of the body irritated, or worse, not be fully healed. Here are some tips to prevent an earring or a piercing become an annoying problem.

The first rule is: choose safe metals.
To a piercing the better surgical steel (that is, Surgical Stainless Steel, with the initials SSS). This metal has several advantages: lasts a long time, it does not react with bodily fluids. It is distinguished by the initials 316L or 316LVM. Caution, however: this steel contains a small percentage of nickel. Those who are allergic can choose a more expensive product, but safer: titanium. It is a super-resistant metal and, usually, contains only small amounts of nickel. Among other things, you can also find in different colors. Another preferred metal is niobium. It is little known, but it is recommended for those suffering from allergies and is also less expensive than titanium. If you own a skin sensitive to contact with any metal, you can fall back on the Tygon, a surgical plastic that can be used for the piercing.

Attention to these metals.
Silver: never wear silver jewelry, earrings or piercings if the skin is not completely healed. Sterling is composed for 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent for by another metal, usually copper. This metal is added because it makes the most durable silver, but copper can cause allergic reactions. In addition, the Sterling silver oxidizes when in contact with body tissues and fluids.
Bijoux: not worn inexpensive jewelry, with metals that use amounts of nickel, if the hole in the on ear lobes in other parts of the body is not perfectly healed.

Gold plated jewelry: usually plating is very, very thin. The sweat or friction with the skin can eliminate the plating in a short time, and the skin is in contact with the underlying metal.
Gold: a piercing better to choose what to 14 and 18K. The reason is simple: pure gold, that is 24 carat, is very soft and could allow the microbes to more easily lurk. Beware, though: gold in 18 or 14 karat is an alloy with other metals, often nickel, palladium and copper. Then it can cause allergies. Remember: the 24 carat gold is pure, what 18 carat consists of 18 parts pure gold and 6 parts of other metals, the 14-carat from 14 parts pure gold and 10 parts other metals, and so on.

Gold has stopped in Eboli

Published on November 19, 2021

The art of goldsmith work for jewels and unique pieces by Rosmundo Giarletta ♦ ︎

Eboli is a small town in the province of Salerno, in the south of Italy. It is more known for being the protagonist of the book written by Carlo Levi than a school for goldsmiths . But perhaps this judgment will be rectified by the skill of Rosmundo Giarletta, who founded Rosmundo Orafe Arts. His professional history, he tells himself, begins at 14, but in Varese, where he studied art and was fascinated by a book from the work of Benvenuto Cellini, the tutelary godness of all the sculptors of metal.
Rosmundo then began working as an apprentice at the Lido Bacci lab, based in the Casa degli Orafi near Ponte Vecchio, in Florence.

Back in Eboli, he founded his workshop, Rosmundo Bottega Orafa, and graduated as Diamond Grader at Gemmological Institut of America, Gia. He also tightened up a particular friendship with the Principality of Monaco: he was received at Monaco by former Prince Ranieri and Princess Carolina nominated Rosmundo as Knight of Art and Culture. In addition to traditional jewelery pieces (rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings), the virtuous craftsman of Eboli has made a number of unique pieces using the difficult technique of the tunnel, with an effect that in some cases recalls intricate geometric motifs of the traditional Arab architecture.

The production of C.P. Gioielli in Vicenza, from silver to gold and precious stones, which doubles with the Afrodite brand ♦

In the great sea of Italian jewelry, C.P. Gioielli. The company already has a history of over half a century: it was born in Vicenza in 1965. It was founded by Pietro Castegnaro, who immediately specialized in the production of silver jewelry. Not only white silver, however, but also plated, worked as if it were gold and combined with colored stones. The idea was successful and C.P. Gioielli has expanded its catalog to become truly vast, which includes numerous variations of the tennis style.

Over time, gold, diamonds and pearls have been added to silver, as well as precious stones, from rubies to sapphires, as well as semi-precious ones such as peridot and aquamarine or topaz. Today C.P. Gioielli is run by the founder’s son, Marco Castegnaro, who has modernized the production cycle with the use of new technologies and materials and the introduction of the Afrodite brand, which doubles the offer with silver and cubic zirconia jewels. The result, for customers, however, has remained the traditional one as always.

Salvini’s latest signs

Rings/Showroom/COLLANE

The latest Segni (signs) by Salvini. Because life is made up of actions, but first of all by signs. From the time the clock indicates when your sleep is interrupted in the morning, to every letter of the alphabet, and even what we listen to on the radio or watch on Instagram: a sign, in fact, is anything that communicates a meaning, but which is not the sign itself. The meaning can be intentional, like a spoken word with a specific meaning, but also unintentional, like a symptom, which is a sign of a particular medical condition. Signs can communicate through any sense, visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, or gustatory. And, here we come to the point, they can also communicate feelings.

A jewel, in effect, “speaks” to others indicating the body of the wearer, but also a social status, or an emotional bond. The Segni collection by Salvini (brand of the Damiani group), is proposed again two years after its launch with new jewels that have the shape of symbols such as the star, the moon and the heart. The jewels are in yellow, pink and white gold with small diamonds set. Ready to turn into signs of affection.

Mystery Black collection for Nanis

Published on November 9, 2021

COLLANE/bracciale/Showroom/Rings

The Dancing in the Rain collection by Nanis changes music again. The dance in the rain, which is repeated over the years with different combinations, this time takes on a vaguely mysterious rhythm. The new variation on the theme is called Mystery Black. The aesthetic context remains the same as the collection from which it derives, but the dark shade of the onyx now contrasts with the yellow of the 18-karat gold boule scratched by hand with a special burin. The gold boules thus alternate with black onyx pearls, in a play of chiaroscuro that also includes a clasp of diamonds intended for the necklace.

This closure, in particular, is designed to hook into every point of the necklace, so as to be able to vary the geometry and wear it in the Chanel version, or as a choker or chocker. Even the earrings and rings follow the same logic, with the alternation of yellow gold and black onyx elements, together with the introduction of pavé diamonds. In addition, the collection also includes a ring that replaces the onyx with a pavé of small black diamonds.

Liliana Guerreiro, the pleasure of design in Portugal ♦

Years ago she won the Best Piece of Jewelry Award at the Inhorgenta in Monaco thanks to her special design: an intertwining of threads and tiny circles that form gold and diamond jewelry. But not only. As in the Elementos collection, which uses the element of thread in an innovative way and small rounds that make up a sort of puzzle, or Malha (inspired by traditional nineteenth-century reliquaries), Cheio de Ramo (ironic use of filigree) and Fio , with the gold thread or in gilded silver used in different combinations of thicknesses, materials (gold and silver) and three textures.

Another peculiarity concerns the material it uses: 19-karat gold (instead of the usual 18-karat one), but also completely oxidized silver. Liliana Guerreiro is one of the best known Portuguese jewelry designers. She was born Viana do Castelo, Minho (north of Portugal), a land with a centuries-old history in the production of jewelry. Her work is inspired by one of the most traditional craft techniques, filigree.

It is not always necessary to think big. Indeed, there are times when you need to think small. For example, when you want to keep costs down or make something the appropriate size. As in the case of the new collection of the Florentine brand Annamaria Cammilli. The Maison, in fact, has studied a tailor-made line for the youngest, but without losing the style and characteristics that distinguish the jewels of the usual collections. The new collection has an explicit name: Les petites.

These are small-scale jewels, but with the most well-known collection designs, such as the Desert Rose series and pieces from the Dune Assolo and Velaa Star lines. All the jewels share an essential design, enhanced by the precious alternation of shiny and velvety gold surfaces, which are used for all the collections of the Florentine brand. In addition, there are small diamonds that sparkle inside the jewels and provide an extra touch of light. In short, small, but brilliant.

Gold, silver, platinum: will they cost more or less?

Published on October 23, 2021

news

What will the price of gold be in 2022? And that of silver? What about platinum? Questions that all jewelers ask themselves, but also those who plan to buy a jewel or to sell it. The reason for so much curiosity is due to the increase in prices which in recent months has involved almost all raw materials, including metals. Gold, silver and platinum were also affected by the covid-19 pandemic, which for months partially held back mining and sales. Then, the economy restarted almost suddenly along with the demand for jewelry. So some prices went up a lot, but they also went down. How long will the uncertainty last?

Prezzo dell'oro, 1 anno — Prezzo dell’oro, 1 anno

Gold is a symbolic metal, and not just for jewelry. But it is not easy to predict the yellow metal. After hitting $ 2,000 nearly a year ago, the price per ounce dropped to just over $ 1,700 in October, its lowest level since March. A fall that was accelerated by the strength of the US dollar (when the dollar rises, gold usually falls). And, at the moment, it seems that the trend of weakness in prices is destined to continue, with the dollar being worth more (compared to the euro and the yen) and the cost of gold floating. Translated: in the coming months it should not increase, unless there are upheavals now not foreseen.

Prezzo dell'argento, 1 anno — Prezzo dell’argento, 1 anno

Silver followed the price of gold, as is almost always the case: it rose to a peak of $ 28.89 per ounce, arriving in autumn 2021 with an average of $ 22.64 per ounce. In short, it has deflated, but the operators of the metals market expect that the price will rise again. It seems, in fact, that silver jewels are the protagonists of a boom that is destined to last: they cost less, they sell more. There are those who predict, in fact, that silver will reach $ 30 per ounce next year and then rise to $ 50.

Collana in platino e pavé di diamanti by Boucheron

It must be borne in mind that the price of gold, silver and platinum is not only linked to the world of jewelry. Metals, even precious metals, are also used for some industrial productions. In the case of platinum, palladium and rhodium (often used in jewelry together with gold or silver), for example, the price has dropped. The cause, according to industry experts, is linked to the global shortage of chips, the processors used for electronics, but also for cars or household appliances. The shortage of chips slowed the production of automobiles and, as a result, depressed the cost of metals used in catalytic converters.

The price of platinum fell from $ 1,008.29 an ounce in August to $ 988.67 in October. On the other hand, the price had risen a lot last year, reaching 1,214 last May. The strong demand from the world of jewelry (with a 48% increase in demand), however, could keep the price of platinum at high levels, albeit at a lower than record level. Same trend for palladium and rhodium. Palladium dipped below the $ 2,000 mark for the first time since mid-2020, below the high of $ 3,000 it hit in May. And experts predict it will continue its descent. Rhodium was also affected by the shortage of chips and dropped from the level of previous months: it went from a price of 10,205 per ounce in February 2020 to 25,981 per ounce in April. Then it dropped to $ 12,850 in October.

The Lovely collection by leBebè they have already written about also includes colorful rings with an innovative design. In this case, colored stones are used, defined as eco-sustainable (translation: synthetic), supported by a metal band defined as comfort-fit. The icons that marked the birth of the brand are engraved on the inside of the circumference, that is, the silhouette of a boy and girl. Another feature concerns the prongs that enclose the stone: instead of the usual metal hook they have the shape of a heart.

The ring is made in three versions: in 9-karat yellow gold with a rose quartz-like stone, in 9-karat white gold with a blue topaz-like stone and 9-karat rose gold with a burgundy rhodolite-like stone. The retail price is 390 euros. The collection marks a step forward for the brand, which expands its proposal by exiting the comfort box consisting of pendants in the shape of children.

The adrenaline-filled jewels of Caroline Gaspard, designer of Akillis. Also with the Capture collection ♦

In this turbulent periods of time, marked by painful and bloody episodes, a bullet is not really an object that you puts at ease. But Caroline Gaspard, who founded the French Akillis in 2007, continues to offer the Bang Bang and Ak collection (which is the name of famous gun), alongside new less aggressive collections, such as Capture in motion.

Come herself she likes to describe, “The designer loves to have fun and create her style to satisfy her nature.” The truth is that the taste of provocation, with pendants, rings and bracelets in the form of bullets, gold and diamonds, is accompanied by a rigorous creative process, starting with the craftsmanship of jewels with traditional production processes such as fusion wax lost along with the most advanced technology, such as welding laser. And to say that she never attended a design school even though, in truth, jewels and precious stones have been near since she was a child, thanks to his father, gem merchant. She followed, instead, a business school, but embraced the jewelery after to create some pieces that were successful.

Orecchini Capture Me in oro bianco e diamanti

“The idea for the Ak collection came to me when I was in Russia,” she said. “Once I was in high heels and leather jacket, and I fired with a gun in a shooting range. There was a lot of adrenaline. I have collected empty shell casings as souvenirs, and they are the ones who then inspired the collection. The unisex bullet line is our bestseller in the collection”. But if you’re astonished to know a designer who inspires a Bond Girl, read here: “I like to live life to the limit. I do a lot of sports activities, such as tennis, skiing, water skiing and kite surfing. I also participate in jumping competitions. I like everything that is fast and dangerous, like very fast cars. I drove 320 kilometers an hour last Sunday, in northern France. I could go to jail.”

The word downsizing is the one that runs the most on operators’ lips.

The three days organized by Italian Exhibition Group in Arezzo, the Italian capital of gold processing, does not return due, in essence, to the still unconcluded pandemic emergency, which slows down movements, especially those at an international level, in particular those of Asian and American buyers. In place of Gold / Italy, in mid-November, a summit with the leaders of the jewelery and goldsmith sector will be held in collaboration with the Municipality and the relevant trade associations. Objective: to discuss the strategies in this relaunch phase. Obviously it is not the same thing, but one must make a virtue of necessity.

It is well known that Marco Bicego is attracted to the stars. Less known is the passion for botany, and in particular for the lunaria, a plant with round leaves, reminiscent of the full moon (in italian language the word luna means moon). The Lunaria collection, presented in 2014, has recently been renewed with new pieces. The surface of the jewels, in 18-karat gold, remains slightly irregular, because it is hand-engraved with the ancient Florentine technique of the millerighe burin. A process that produces a soft and natural effect.

She studied Art History in Amsterdam, then she moved to London, where she lives, but she spends a lot of time in the mountains of Switzerland, and she loves Italy. But most of all, Sheila Westera loves nature. In her way. Her jewels, in fact, are dedicated to the natural world through the use of semi-precious stones and a folded and intertwined gold thread that forms a kind of nest around gems that resemble eggs laid on a straw cushion.

Before becoming an artist who makes (many) rings and (few) necklaces, Sheila Westera worked in the jewelry industry for many years. The artistic studies and the love for innovative design pushed him to study non-repetitive jewels, with a new style of setting, and the use of sterling silver and 14 or 18 carat gold, which surround semi-precious and semi-precious stones. . The rings are large, showy, it is impossible not to fix the eyes on these nests resting on the fingers. In short, the opposite of the classic diamond ring, which the designer simply considers a status symbol. But she has created minimalist earrings that are easier to wear, especially for those on the go.

The symbolic dreams by futuroRemoto

Published on September 18, 2021

COLLANE/bracciale/Showroom/Rings

An old Italian film from the 1950s was called It’s not true … but I believe it. The story revolved, with humorous intent, on superstition. Little has changed since then: the amulet remains, in Italy and in the rest of the world, one of the favorite types of buyers. “Who knows it doesn’t really work?” And so almost all jewelers provide a version of lucky charms. A new contribution to the idea that a small metal sculpture has who knows what powers comes from FuturoRemoto, an Apulian brand founded by designer Gianni de Benedittis.

The Dreamers’ Room is a collection that uses ancient symbols such as the pentacle pendant, a symbol of strength and beauty, the two-tailed Milk Mermaid (in the Middle Ages they believed she converted her milk into gold), the protective lions of the world, the Wheel of luck with the signs of the zodiac and the phoenix, back in the news with the Harry Potter films. The jewels are in gold-plated silver, but on request it is possible to obtain a version made entirely of yellow metal.

Even in this case, however, there is a film involved, that of presenting the jewelry collection, directed by Stefania Rocca, leading actress Serra Yilmaz and the participation of Gabriele Greco.

Anelli in oro rosa e diamanti della collezione Les Petites

According to mineralogy, the desert rose is a sedimentary formation found in desert countries. It has a color that fades from orange to yellow-ocher and is an aggregate of gypsum crystals. Annamaria Cammilli is inspired by this creation of nature for her new collection Les Petits. On the other hand, the Maison has created the Dune collection, the most famous of the Florentine brand: the reference to the desert is almost mandatory.

Les Petits is a collection that, as the name indicates, offers jewels with very low volumes, and consequently also with a more affordable price even for the youngest. The new line includes the Desert Rose series and the new pieces that enrich the Dune Assolo and Velaa Star collections. They are jewels that share an essential design, enhanced by the alternation of shiny and velvety gold surfaces, typical of Annamaria Cammilli. The collection consists of rings of different sizes, rigid bracelets, pendants with diamonds, earrings: a synthesis of the production of the Maison, on a reduced scale.

Aria and Vento on the fingers with Antonini

Published on September 16, 2021

Rings/Showroom

Two rings waiting to return to Las Vegas and Vicenzaoro: Antonini anticipates the debut of two new sculpture-rings in July. The two jewels of the Milanese Maison are a limited edition and are inspired by two natural elements: Aria and Vento (Air and Wind), which are also the name chosen for the pair of rings. The design, the strong point of the ultra-centennial Maison (it was born in 1919), seems inspired directly by the rocks and sand that take on sinuous curves in particularly windy locations. Aria, in particular, wants to remember the mark left by the waves on the beach, but also the expanses of tall grass that move pushed by the air currents.

The Vento ring, on the other hand, is more massive, but with an elongated shape that makes it tapered. It recalls those rocks found near deserts, but also in neighboring Sardinia, where the incessant flow of air digs tunnels and crevices in the hard stone. The two rings are in yellow gold. Vento also features black grooves made with a black rhodium bath.

Fabergé celebrates its birth with 1842 collection

Published on September 9, 2021

Rings/bracciale/Showroom

What is better for a company than being proud of its origins? Especially if, as in the case of Fabergé, they are illustrious, famous, historical origins. The jewelry brand known above all for its artistic and precious Easter eggs collected by the tsars, but obviously also for its jewels, has its origins in 1842, the year in which Gustav Fabergé opened his jewelry boutique in St. Petersburg. A story that, with complicated corporate vicissitudes, continues today, with the Fabergé brand returning to its former glory thanks also to the new owner, Gemfields, which took over in 2013 after the company had returned to being identified with the world of high jewelry in the Nineties, at the end of a complicated carousel for brand ownership.

The fact is that Fabergé has decided to underline its noble origin with a collection consisting of 11 pieces, which is inspired by the gold jewels and precious accessories that the Maison started producing in the years before the birth of the first Imperial Egg. The collection is called 1842 and shows the iconic egg-shaped mark by Fabergé, in 18-karat yellow gold. It is a fine jewelery collection, ready to be worn every day. The line consists of necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings, in 18-karat gold. The design of this Fabergé hallmark was originally inspired by the Cyrillic letter F Ф, as seen in many of the house’s pre-1917 masterpieces. The oval shape has been slightly modified to form the shape of an egg, an iconic symbol and lasting history of Fabergé.

In line with the idea of Fabergé’s surprise (as inside the Easter eggs), a ruby extracted from the Gemfields Montepuez mine in Mozambique is hidden inside the jewels of the collection.
