New high jewelry bu Sutra

The high jewelery of Sutra Jewels, with extraordinary pieces created by designer Arpita Navlakha ♦︎

It didn’t take long after its birth to see the Sutra Jewels collection on the red carpet at gala dinners, film festivals or fashion shows. Sutra jewels have been worn by Michelle Obama, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Adriana Lima, Catharine-Zeta Jones, Oprah, Olivia Wilde and Mila Kunis to name just a few celebrities. And to think that the Maison based in Texas, but founded in Mumbai by designer Arpita Navlakha, has just turned 15.

Since its foundation, however, some things have changed. For example, in the last two years Sutra has introduced the use of jewelry ceramics in its pieces: a choice that has expanded the number of combinations of materials used. However, alongside the gold and ceramics, the intensely colored gems remained, together with the geometric textures that recall art deco style mandalas. A style that embraces Western taste, but with oriental grace and meticulousness in the creation of jewellery.

Mariani 1878, an encore a century and a half long

In 2017 it won the Design Couture Awards in Las Vegas in the People’s choise category. And in 2021 Mariani 1878 did it again, this time in the Best in Gold category. The Maison based in Monza, a town a stone’s throw from Milan, is preparing to celebrate 150 years of a life full of awards, which testify to a goldsmith’s skill across the board. The previous prize, for example, was awarded thanks to Pon Pon, a three-dimensional drop pendant with 27 carats of very high quality diamonds. in the jewel each diamond was set individually and inserted in a sort of network that surrounds the central solitaire.

A jewel, the one presented at the Couture, which seems to have also enticed Melania Trump, at the time first lady with domicile in the White House. On the other hand, Mariani jewels in the US have also convinced celebrities Sylvester Stallone and Denzel Washington, in the mood for gifts to their partners.

Four years later, however, it was been a pair of long earrings with a burnished gold and diamond link that convinced the jury. The Maison, as its name indicates, was founded in 1878 and is managed by the brothers Carlo and Federico Mariani, graduates in economics and masters in gemology, under the guidance of their father Giuseppe Mariani, direct descendant of the founder Camillo Mariani.

Pomellato high jewelry inspired by Milan

Born in 1967, at the same time as the success of the great Italian fashion houses, the Milanese Pomellato has climbed the steps of success by bringing the concept of prêt-à-porter into jewelry. Luxurious, yet understated. Design, but without exaggerating. Simple shapes but not simplistic. Jewels that immediately appealed to the Milanese ladies and, later, to those of other cities. over the years the ability to interpret a fashion without excesses has crossed the Italian borders in parallel with the identification of Milan as one of the world capitals of design. Pomellato was bought by the French group Kering about ten years ago for this reason.

Castello ring in pink gold, diamonds, rubellite

Something has changed since then. Pomellato, thanks to the thrust of the Parisian luxury giant, has been brought to international markets and, in part, has added to its sobriety an increasingly marked flavor of high-end jewels. Now the creative director, Vincenzo Cataldo, has decided to combine the high jewelery line, introduced three years ago, with the echo of the brand’s roots. For this reason, the new collection is inspired by Milan.
Orecchini Terrazza Duomo in oro giallo e diamanti
Terrace Duomo earrings in yellow gold and diamonds

The pieces in the range, which combine precious stones with design tradition, are named after places known to tourists too, such as the Duomo (the neo-Gothic cathedral) or the city’s Castle, but also to the most modern skyscrapers. The collection consists of four lines: Vertical Landscapes, Contemporary Heritage, Creativity on Stage and Terrazza Duomo. One of the most striking pieces is probably the Castello necklace, made up of pink gold plates connected by links studded with diamonds of different shapes: over 28 carats of brilliant, baguette, princess and round cut gems, plus five rubellites for 29 carats. A chain, attached to the choker is removable.

Joseph Gad, life in green

The green philosophy of Joseph Gad: at the center of great jewels put great emeralds ♦

Green is the color of grass, of hope and of emeralds. And it is the color that the Gad family has chosen, which continues the tradition of the founder, Joseph Gad, who in 1960 embarked on the path of high jewelery. With a marked preference for green, ie for emeralds, even if it offers jewelery with other gems. And, more particularly, for the emeralds of Colombia, occasionally combined with diamonds or sapphires and rubies. Since then it has become the world’s leading source of precious and rare and rare diamonds.

In 1968, the Gad family became an exclusive partner of the Muzo Mine in Bogata, Colombia. In 1975 the Gad family was instrumental in legalizing the export of emeralds from Colombia to the United States. As a pioneer member of the Responsible Jewelry Council, in any case, the Maison of New York City is committed to ethically finding all the materials, all of which are traceable.

All emeralds are cut and polished at home, with the aim of enhancing their qualities.

However, jewels made with large emeralds are not the only ones. Joseph Gad also designs and manufactures great jewels with other precious stones. In addition, the company also buys vintage jewelry, especially those with exceptional emeralds. Margherita Donato

Tenzo, spells of a gem-hunter

The magic of Tenzo, a Russian gem hunter able to excite with his jewels ♦

There are those who call him a gem-hunter, a sort of Indiana Jones in search of the extraordinary stone to be set in his jewels. Certainly Alexander Tenzo, a high jewelry designer based in Tallinn, Estonia, but with constant ubiquity, from Switzerland to the United States, is part of the small patrol of gem artists. He is able, for example, to carve an emerald with a unique ability, or to use precious stones with unusual shapes. In addition to choosing lesser-known gems, such as alexandrite, chrysoberyl, spessartite, along with tourmalines, rubies or diamonds.

Platinum ring with 10.9 carat tsavorite, sapphires, diamonds. Copyright: gioiellis.com

For each creation, Tenzo tries to show the hidden soul of the stones. “I always have to start from what a stone can tell me”, confirms the artist-jeweler to gioiellis.com on one of the rare occasions when he agrees to talk about his work. The designer founded his small workshop in 1996 and soon the fame of his ability has managed to cross national borders. His unique, teased pieces unite the ancient traditions of jewelry, which in Russia are often Fabergé’s legacy, his eclectic compositional ability.

Alexander Tenzo’s professional career began with a trip to Sri Lanka. On the large island located south of India, he discovered a passion for gems. For several years, Alexander has been involved in the extraction and cutting of gems, from Asia to Africa. An experience that led him to transform himself into a jewelry designer, capable of carving stones to transform them into surprising works of art.

Mikimoto’s Marine High Jewelry

Mikimoto = pearls. This simple equation remains valid at 130 years in the anniversary year of the founder of the Japanese Maison Kokichi Mikimoto. Who is also the one who understood that pearls can be cultivated, precious spheres that were once very rare because they were the result of the whim of the sea. Mikimoto is also a jewelery brand that offers surprising high-end collections. Like Praise to the Sea, which is inspired by the natural environment in which pearls are formed. The jewels recall the foam, the waves, the billows, the marine flora and fauna, but do not use only the precious pearls of the South Seas or the Akoya selected by Mikimoto.

Anello Shool of Fish con diamanti taglio rosa, perle, zaffiri
School of Fish ring with rose cut diamonds, pearls, sapphires

Praise to the Sea fine jewelry also includes rose-cut diamonds, beryl, tanzanite, tourmaline, amethyst, garnet, sapphire, spinel, alexandrite and aquamarine. One of the most interesting jewels, for example, is a necklace of white gold and Akoya pearls that evokes a mother and child blue whale swimming together. In the center is a 41.54-carat tourmaline that symbolizes the aura of the creature, around which schools of fish are depicted, composed of sapphire, aquamarine, garnet and diamond gems. Or the ring with a South Sea pearl in the center, with a corolla depicting the waves with sapphires and diamonds, in a shade that refers to the depths of the sea.

Why Boucheron offers revolutionary high jewellery?

Between classic and avant-garde, between tradition and innovation, between past and future: Boucheron is one of the great jewelery Maisons which, alongside the rings, necklaces and earrings that are part of its historic heritage, manages to offer surprising collections. Like the new high jewelery collection, Carte Blanche, More is More. The creative director, Claire Choisne, has chosen a communication format and a stylistic interpretation that recalls sixties pop graphics, with models portrayed with photographs cut out against a background of bright colors. But also the geometries of the Memphis movement founded by the Italian architect Ettore Sottsass in the late seventies. But the iconographic presentation must not deceive: at the heart of Carte Blanche, More is More there are jewels.

Il gioiello-tasca applicabile In The Pocket
In The Pocket

Above all, the surprises are here, starting with the huge (29 centimeters) Tie the Knot bow hair ribbon. It is red on one side, with black and white stripes. The jewel-ornament is described as flexible like a cloth and fairly light: it weighs 94 grams. It is made with diamonds and white gold: it is considered a technical feat. The collection also includes rings reminiscent of the Rubik’s cube. Like This is Not a Ring, made with Murano glass, diamonds and lacquer on a resin band. Or supermaxi necklaces and In the Pocket, a pocket made up of diamonds and onyx on a lycra and titanium fabric, which can hold a smartphone and attaches to any item of clothing with magnets.

Many inventions seasoned in a menu of high jewelery that amaze those who consider the couture of jewelery in the classic interpretation of a variety of necklaces or rings in gold and diamonds, more or less precious unique pieces, but faithful to a tradition that comes from centuries-old habits. Instead, Boucheron’s high jewelery wants to attract the attention of digital natives and entire categories that have never approached traditional stylistic models. But who obviously have enough money to buy high-end jewels.

Piaget high jewelery with Metaphoria

Piaget’s new high jewelery collection tells something in different words. The collection is called Metaphoria. And if a metaphor is a word or definition used to express something other than the literal sense, likewise Metaphoria dips its pen in this ancient art of expression. A metaphor used by Metaphoria? Here it is: the collection is made up of rivers of precious stones. A pure metaphor (precious stones are not liquid, but the comparison works). Alongside this dialectical game there is, of course, fine jewelry, which is the result of the industrious Genevan craftsmanship.

Piaget - Villa Salviatino
Piaget – Villa Salviatino

The collection consists of 52 pieces, entirely made in the Maison’s ateliers and presented in Florence, in the Renaissance villa with Italian garden (today a hotel) Il Salviatino, on the hills of Fiesole, just outside Florence. Also a metaphor of architectural meanings. Now the collection.

Piaget, presentazione di Metaphoria
Piaget, presentation of Metaphoria

In 1969, Yves Piaget presented its 21st Century Collection, with jewel-watches of very unusual shapes and with ornamental stones set in their dials, as well as engraved gold sautoirs and bracelet watches. Collection which, according to the Maison, laid the foundations for Piaget’s unmistakable style. Metaphoria is 2023 a reworking of that 21st Century Collection. It is divided into 41 jewels and 11 watches, in two chapters, Azureia and Beautanica. Names that evoke an equally metaphorical nature.

Experimentation, innovation and cheerfulness are part of the Maison’s DNA. Since the 1960s, Piaget has dared to introduce coral, turquoise and lapis lazuli into watchmaking and unique jewellery. This desire to use unexpected materials in pieces created to high jewelery standards is still at the core of our identity.
Benjamin Comar, CEO of Piaget

Mineralis
The highlight of the collection is the Mineralis set. It is made up of jewels which, again using a metaphor, seem to have come out of the waters of a mountain river. An asymmetrical necklace is made with diamonds, sapphires, aquamarine and rock crystal. Piaget jewelers combine the transparency of rock crystal (representing the brilliance that lines the edges of rivers), with intensely blue sapphires, whose inverted settings give the piece an ultra-modern look. A 13.25-carat lagoon-blue cushion-cut aquamarine sparkles at the center. The piece is paired with earrings and rings, one of which is set with a 4.1 carat Sri Lankan sapphire.

Mineralis, collana asimmetrica realizzata con diamanti, zaffiri, acquamarina e cristallo di rocca
Mineralis, asymmetric necklace made with diamonds, sapphires, aquamarine and rock crystal

Our goal was to emphasize details that bring to mind natural phenomena, such as the flow of a waterfall or the sun’s rays, while at the same time arousing a particular emotion. The materials we use, from the insect elytra to the precious wood, have been selected to give an unpredictable and alive element to a 21st century piece of fine jewelry.
Stéphanie Sivrière, creative director of Piaget

Aqua Summa
With the Aqua Summa set, the Maison intends to convey a vision of frost and ice with the unusual combination of aquamarine with Akoya pearls and diamonds. The collar necklace, fully articulated with an invisible closure, features pear-shaped cerulean aquamarines, the largest of which weighs over 4 carats. The piece can be paired with earrings and an exquisite cocktail ring, the white gold body of which is paved with a frost of shimmering diamonds and set with a 12.48-carat cushion-cut aquamarine.

Alata
With the Alata set, Piaget transforms leaves into gold, mother-of-pearl and diamonds on rich and unstructured pieces, in the shape of a necklace, earrings and a watch. A gold and titanium earcuff has gold leaves engraved with the Decor Palace pattern, golden mother of pearl, white gold flecks and diamonds come together to dress the outer edge of the ear in a spectacular piece. Piaget jewelers have also created an engagement ring. On this piece, the center of the leaf is accented with a 2.23 carat pear shaped diamond. The set is completed by a cuff watch, the body of which is embellished with an inlay of mother-of-pearl and engraved gold, mixed with marquise-cut diamonds. A piece that demonstrates Piaget’s perfect mastery even in the smallest details.

Terrae
The Terrae parure has a bold design, inspired by the colors of the forest. The brown of tiger’s eye and rutilated quartz is used together with the green of tourmaline. The pair is accented with vertical rows of square tourmaline beads and features a cushion-cut tourmaline weighing approximately 16 carats at its center. A ring, bracelet and earrings complete the set.

Essentia
Goldsmith skill is at the heart of Essentia, which includes jewels in rose gold and diamonds, defined by natural lines. An iconic piece of this set, the flat-knit necklace is made up of oversized links, whose irregular shapes recall those of driftwood found on the beach. Earrings and wristwatch complete the set.

Adrivea
Following the tradition of secret high jewelery watches, the Maison now unveils one of its greatest signature pieces, Adrivea, a ring that tells the time. Beneath a 10.88-carat aquamarine cabochon, its dial sparkles with diamonds, joined by waves of lustrous stones and blue sapphires that adorn the setting of this oversized piece.

Foliatura
Another unique piece is Foliatura, a jewel-watch set with a magnificent cushion-cut Colombian emerald weighing 6.59 carats. Its white gold body reveals incredible craftsmanship, fusing stylized chrysoprase leaves and intertwined diamonds on a background of engraved gold Decor Palace. Ingeniously positioned at the bottom of the strap, the face of the watch allows the wearer to discreetly read the time.

Watches
Alitura features a mosaic dial composed of ornamental stones, reminiscent of the precious damask fabric. The dial of the Undulata watch, on the other hand, was created by the Parisian inlay specialist Rose Saneuil. The dial is iridescent green, with an inlay of straw, wood, leather, parchment and elytra, and houses an ultra-thin tourbillon, caliber 670P, all made entirely by Piaget. It is surrounded by two circles of baguette and brilliant cut diamonds. Last, but not least, Piaget watchmakers present an ultra-jewellery version of the famous cushion-shaped Black Tie watch, made famous by one of the Piaget Society’s most loyal customers, Andy Warhol. The piece combines a petrified wood dial with a baguette-cut emerald bezel and hour markers. It is a one-of-a-kind piece powered by the Manufacture’s ultra-thin mechanical caliber 534P.

Allegoria is the new Gucci high jewelry

According to the dictionary, an allegory is a rhetorical figure through which the author expresses and the reader recognizes a hidden meaning, different from the literal one. Gucci has used this idea for the new high jewelery collection, which follows by only six months the one presented in January with the second part of the Hortus Deliciarum line. The new collection made up of 135 unique pieces is called, instead, Allegoria. What is it alluding to? At the four seasons. Also in this case it is the seasonal mutations of nature that inspire the jewels. But sometimes they use the classic Gucci clamp at the center of the jewel.

Orecchini con diamanti, smeraldi, tormalina Paraiba
Earrings with diamonds, emeralds, Paraiba tourmaline

For example, spring, which inspires jewelery with the iconic Flora motif. The collection makes extensive use of tourmalines, a stone that can take on different colors. There are, for example, a 226-carat cushion-cut green tourmaline with an openwork setting and adorned with star motifs and baguette-cut diamonds and a necklace with a 161-carat pink tourmaline, surrounded by diamonds and multi-layered colored enamel, all set in a chain with 72 88-carat multicolored tourmalines that create a degradé effect.

The other seasons are just as colorful. With the red of spinels, the intense green of emeralds, the blue-green of Paraiba tourmaline, as well as yellow sapphires, mandarin garnet. Naturally, the collection also includes the classic diamonds, including some with an old cut, less faceted than those normally used today.

Austy Lee’s psychedelic high jewelry

Austy Lee makes high jewellery,, but psychedelic. It is not a usual combination. Psychedelic art, which flourished in the late 1960s, referred to the abstract and surprising use of colors to represent the hallucinations caused by taking drugs such as LSD or DMT. Over time, the psychedelic style is no longer linked to those specific experiences, but has taken on its own independent characteristic. A style that does not hinder the imagination and that always manages to amaze. Like Austy Lee’s high jewelry. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Austy Lee is a high-end jewelery designer with nearly 20 years of experience in the industry who started out as a graphic designer before focusing her creative mind on the world of jewellery.

But to further broaden her perspectives, and mostly out of curiosity, she decided to get a diploma in Product Design, to learn the art of gemstone setting and chiselling, bone and jade tooth carvings, artifacts and restorations ancient. Due to his exceptional drawing and design technique, he was offered the opportunity to work as a jewelry design apprentice at Adler Jewelery in Hong Kong.

Experience in Adler Jewelery increased experience as a jewelery designer and gemstone buyer. Austy was then Chief Designer for Wendy Yue. His designs are worn by many Hollywood and international celebrities and famous personalities around the world.

His style is unique. It is the representation of new age, graphics and fashion in jewellery, but which he himself also defines as industrial, pop-punk, angular, rigorous, audacious, symbolic and colourful. The jewels use many colored gemstones often carved such as sphene, paraiba, padparadscha, star sapphire, indigolite, pink diamonds and the different colors of jade, as well as less usual materials, such as abalone.

Il suo stile è unico. È la rappresentazione in gioielleria di new age, grafica e moda, ma che lui stesso definisce anche industriale, pop-punk, spigoloso, rigoroso, audace, simbolico e colorato. I gioielli utilizzano molte pietre preziose colorate spesso intagliate come sphene, paraiba, padparadscha, star sapphire, indigolite, pink diamonds e i diversi colori della giada, oltre a materiali meno usuali, come l’abalone.

Viren Bhagat: the genius of Mumbai




The extraordinary jewels of the Indian master Vivren Bhagat.
If you like the jewelry you see on this page you don’t look for the website of Viren Bhagat. There is not. And if ever there is a luxury most luxurious of others in the age of ever-network connection is just to not have a website. It can mean two things: you’re nobody and you do not feel the need, or you are so famous as you can snub the usual web brochure. Viren Bhagat, as you may have guessed, is part of this second species of human beings, those who do not need a business card to represent them. It is considered by some the Cartier India but from others has approached to Jar. Maybe it’s a bit ‘of both: he make a few pieces, fifty, a year, but with a lot of genius.

His headquarters is in the affluent district of Mumbai. Heir to four generations of a jewelry business, he open in 1991 his store along with his two brothers. He has an ability to interpret the jewelry that sends in the attic of the Maharajah the myths of the past, poetry and Mughal tradition. It is not that India is not present: is felt in all its creations. But it’s not a jewelry store that proposes the old days, if anything is a fusion between Indian style and art deco. “I’m not really inspired by art deco, I grew up with her,” said the jeweler. But perhaps it is the power of tradition that makes him bend metal lightly, with stones that seem to live its own life. Transparencies and thin conjunctions between different parts of a jewel are the constant stylistic. Sure, it takes time and perseverance: to create the bracelets may take six months, including research of the stones, cutting, embedding.

Karen Suen, high jewelery in Hong Kong







At the 2019 Couture Design Awards, Karen Suen won the Best in Pearls category award. The designer, among other things, has a predilection for rare conch pearls. But the jewelry designer does not need this recognition to get on the jewelery stage. Karen Suen made her debut in 2007, and has been very successful since then. The elements of the recipe are those typical of fine jewelry: excellent stone, scrupulously executed goldsmith’s, attractive design. But in addition, Karen puts her own personality into it.

A creativity that allowed, in 2013 and 2014, to get another award, this time at the Outstanding Greater China Design Awards. Her brand was renamed Karen Suen in the same year. Between glam and classic jewelry, the design of the brand based in Hong Kong is popular in China, but also in the US and Europe. And there is a reason: her Maison was created in the likeness of the European ones of the early twentieth century, where each jewel is unique in its kind and produced according to the standards of fine jewelry.

Design, gems, Etcetera




Edmond Chin’s extraordinary and rare jewelery, from as expert manager for Christie’s to jeweler for collectors ♦

For five years, Edmond Chin managed the department of jewelry at Christie’s in Hong Kong. The experience and knowledge of the market has suggested, in the 2000, to found his own brand: Etcetera. The Latin word, which means “and other things”, has become a brand in the jewelry world, thanks to the recognition during the best appointments, as years ago in Baselworld. Edmond Chin has focused on two aspects: technical innovation and the quality of the stones used. But now Chin, who was born in Singapore, has become creative director of Boghossian: Etcetera’s jewels have therefore become collector’s items.

According to experts polled by Gioiellis, Etcetera collections often use new methods of assembly to expose the gems. A skill that can surprise more than once. And even if the headquarters of the brand remained in his native Hong Kong, the jewels of Mr. Chin are becoming increasingly popular in Europe and America from private collectors. Like is demonstrates by the auction where his jewels are sold.

In the design of L’Dzen




An international background, a family tradition in jewelry, a great desire to enter the Olympus of luxury designers: with these premises Payal Shah founded L’Dzen. The designer’s mother and father worked as consultants for the diamond market in Singapore and Hong Kong, where Payal Shah established his Maison (but sells worldwide). This training started when she was a little girl served her to combine the commercial aspect with the creative one. By the way, the name L’Dzen literally means The Design By Payal Shah. Before creating jewelry, in fact, Payal Shah obtained a degree in architecture and design from the University of Westminster, London, and a diploma in Interior Design, also obtained in the English capital. Not only that: she started working as a designer for luxury hotel furniture.

Until the desire to merge the cultural roots of India with the Chinese tradition emerged: the result is L’Dzen Jewelry, founded in 2011, when Payal Shah was 21 years old. But, in reality, the style of the Maison has nothing of the traditional Indian and Chinese elements, except an explicit desire to offer luxury jewelry. One of the most recent collections, for example, is called Gun’s N ‘Roses, like the Californian rock band. One of the aspects that distinguishes L’Dzen jewels is lightness: even with larger earrings you can barely feel the weight. Michelle Obama, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Nick Jonas were spotted on the red carpet with L’Dezen jewels.

Luxury flies with Diacolor




Rishabh Tongya traveled alone by plane for the first time at age 11. Destination: New York. Since then he has never stopped visiting airports around the world, starting from Delhi, the capital of India where Diacolor, the family business, is based. Rishabh Tongya is the creative director of the brand and is a frequent flyer, with 150-180 flights per year between Europe, the Middle East, the Far East and Africa. He made one exception when he met the girl who would become his wife, Divya: he postponed a trip to Bahrain for her. Rishabh is a citizen of the world: as a city he loves London, Sardinia for the beaches, the reserves between Tanzania and Kenya for nature and fauna, the Alps for the mountains. Without ceasing to love India, of course.

Starting with a small team of five members, Diacolor has grown over the years into an internationally renowned jewelry production house, and also produces on behalf of global jewelry brands.

Diacolor’s jewels reflect Rishabh Tongya’s relentless search for precious stones, often large gems, which are cut and set into jewels that fascinate American sheikhs and billionaires, wealthy Asian tycoons and Russian oligarchs. All jewels of super luxury and also super visible, with generous dimensions. Years ago, for example, Diacolor bought a 5655-carat raw emerald from Zambia, a Guinness record stone.

Harakh high jewelry




Diamonds and not only in the collections of Harakh, a new high jewelery brand ♦ ︎

There is a new high jewelery brand in America. It’s called Harakh and, to tell the truth, it is new only for the United States, because in Bombay they have known it since 2017. The name is that of its founder, Harakh Mehta, who represents the fourth generation of a family of jewelers. But in India the word Harakh also has the meaning of joy: which is also that of those who can afford to buy a jewel of the Maison, which has prices ranging between 20,000 and 100,000 dollars. Among the latest creations of the Maison there is, for example, a set of 150-carat diamonds, specially created to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Bloomingdales luxury department in New York.

Orecchini a cerchio in oro bianco e diamanti

Diamonds are one of the strong points of Harakh’s jewels, also because the activity of a jeweler comes after that of a gemstone merchant, and also thanks to his studies at the Gemological Institute of America. Use only diamonds classified D, E or F and clarity VS / VVS and IF. Each piece is handmade by the 15 artisans who work with ancient jewelery techniques. But this does not prevent a quality control particularly attentive also to the use and pleasure of wearing rings, bracelets and earrings. As in the Cascade collection, which is made with a blaze of stones. The shapes of the jewels are modern, but in some cases they reflect the traditional Indian figures, such as the elephant or the peacock.

The waves of the sea for Chaumet high jewelery

//




For over a century, Chaumet has been a pillar of Place Vendôme, the Parisian square that is the temple of high jewelery. The Maison, famous among other things for its tiaras, however, has an even older date of birth: in 1802 it was already Napoleon’s official jeweler. Chaumet is also one of those Maison that can present extraordinary collections of high jewelery once a year. That of 2022 is called Ondes et Merveilles and is dedicated to the sea. And, indeed, there are jewels with a wavy movement and wonderful gems that embellish the refined design of the jewels. Like the other collections of high jewelry, Ondes et Merveilles is also composed of chapters that also divide the jewels aesthetically.

Anello À- leur d'Eau  in oro bianco, con un diamante D VVS2 taglio ovale da 3,03 carati

The lines of the collection are three: Ondes animées, Rivages vus du ciel et Mille et un habitants des mers. Each is characterized by a design and the stones used. There are, for example, rings such as Escales, which features a pear-shaped Paraiba tourmaline framed by diamonds and spinels, which evokes the idea of ​​a tiara, Chaumet’s signature piece.

The À Fleur d’Eau ring, on the other hand, is in white gold and uses only diamonds: a 3.03-carat oval-cut D VVS2 gemstone, together with three 1.92-carat marquise-cut diamonds. There are many variations: the Gulfstream ring in white gold is adorned with a 3.52 green octagonal brilliant emerald from Colombia, round and baguette sapphires, round emeralds, Paraiba tourmalines and brilliant-cut diamonds.

Among the stars with Chanel in 1932

///




Time travel has always been a human being’s dream. Together with another fantasy, that of space travel, among the stars. Put these two aspirations together and you can understand the meaning of 1932, haute joaillerie collection by Chanel. Because the high jewelery presented in Paris during the haute couture week is a tribute simultaneously to the founder of the Maison, Coco Chanel, and to her passion for high jewelery and the stars. Bijoux de Diamants was the name of the first Chanel high jewelery collection: they were jewels inspired by the constellations and marked an era. Some of those jewels were exhibited in Paris, at the Grand Palais Éphémère on the occasion, almost a century later, of the launch of 1932, which revisits the founder’s debut, instilling new ideas.

Allure Céleste, collana con diamanti taglio brillante, uno zaffiro ovale blu intenso di 55,55 carati e un diamante colore D, FL, taglio a pera da 8,05 carati

The collection is the result of the creativity of Patrice Leguéreau, director of Chanel Jewelery. In all there are 77 unique pieces, 12 of which are transformable (a trend now common to all the great Maison), which use gold adorned with diamonds, sapphires, yellow diamonds, rubies, spinels and tanzanites.

It is high jewelery and, therefore, a collection with pieces that compete with each other for richness, design and, of course, price. Like the Allure Céleste necklace, which uses brilliant-cut diamonds, a 55.55-carat deep blue oval sapphire and an 8.05-carat pear-cut D, FL color diamond. The two diamond elements detach and turn into brooches, while the central part can be worn as a bracelet. Another necklace, Comète Volute, has a spiral shape that encloses a 19.32-carat white oval diamond.

A natural woman for Boucheron

//




A natural woman is not only impervious to prejudices and prepackaged roles, but also sensitive to the elements of nature. The basic ones: wood, sand, wind. Starting from here Boucheron, through the hand of the creative director Claire Choisne, presented the new high jewelery collection called Ailleurs, that is places that are not Paris. Deserts, mountains, oceans, other worlds to be explored through combinations of new materials. For example, rattan combined with white gold and diamonds. But, beware: it is not a simple revival of traditional jewels made with a new material.

Bracciale Feuillage in alluminio, diamanti,  tormalina verde da 37,97 carati

The large necklace used for the Femme Sable (Sand Woman) line refers to the desert, to the large spaces represented by the soft curves of wicker. Wood, on the other hand, serves as a starting point for a brooch. It was called Bois Diamant (diamond wood): the rosewood and diamond flower petals were scanned from authentic petals, so that every detail could then be rendered in rosewood. Not only that: some parts of the perforated gold brooch, surmounted by pistils embellished with diamonds made of titanium are en tremblant, they move like in a real flower.

Animals are also part of nature, which in the collection become rings or bracelets with surprising combinations of materials. As in the case of the titanium snake bracelet with lacquer, tsavorite and onyx. Or the Magpie ring in white gold, studded with diamonds and rock crystal. Or, again, the Feuillage bracelet in aluminum that looks like woven wood, with a 37.97-carat green tourmaline and diamonds.

The Indian Song by Lydia Courteille

////




In 1300 there was Marco Polo. Today, there is Lydia Courteille. With one fundamental difference: the first was a merchant who had gone to the East with the aim of bringing spices and fabrics to Venice. The second, on the other hand, brought sensations, images, emotions of India to Paris, in this case through the memory of a 17th-century traveler, Jean-Baptiste Tavernier. Ingredients used by Lydia Courteille to create sculptures which, among other things, can also be considered jewels.

The new stage of the French designer’s world tour was India. After touring Guatemala, China, Turkey and many other places, the new collection is dedicated to Gandhi’s homeland and is called Indian Song. Name that adds a touch of musicality to the symphony of colors that make up the collection. India is, in fact, a fascinating mystery for Westerners and, perhaps, also for those born there. Hindu mythology and religion reserve surprises that are not always immediately understandable, but that involve.

The jewels of the Indian Song collection cover some of the stages of Indian culture. Like the Khajuraho temple, built between AD 950 and 1050, which is located in Madhya Pradesh and is famous for the erotic sculptures that surround it. Because spirituality doesn’t have to be far from the joy of the body. The same sculptures, but made of sandalwood, surround a ring with a large red tourmaline, also inspired by the heart of the Indian temple. In an era permeated by a return of Puritanism, Lydia Courteille’s ring is a cry for freedom, cheers.

Another temple, Madurai Gapuram, this time in the state of Tamil Nadu, is dedicated to the god Shiva and the goddess Parvathi: it offered the inspiration for another ring that is reductive to define a jewel. It is, in effect, a small temple, with one side that opens and offers the view of an elaborate interior that features the face of the deity. The whole is made up of cabochon sapphires, rubies and spinels, as well as a carved emerald evoking the splendor of the Mogul era. It should be added that the references to the pantheon of Hinduism are also precise. For example, a red tourmaline snake represents the semi deity Naga, who rules the underworld.

Could the Taj Mahal be missing on the trip to India? Of course not. The monument erected by Shah Jehan, Mughal emperor, in memory of the deceased bride, in the Indian Song collection is transformed into a necklace with sapphires and emeralds. Another monument, the temple dedicated to Shiva Mahabalipuram, a Unesco World Heritage Site located near Chennai, is famous for its bas-relief sculptures that surround it. They represent the descent of the Ganges which is intertwined with the epic of the Mahabharata, which tells the story of the gods.

For example, Sarasvati, Brama’s consort traditionally depicted accompanied by a swan and a peacock. The two birds are used by Lydia Courteille to form an elaborate jewel. Furthermore, the peacock is the decorative protagonist of a palace in Jaipur, the Peacock Gate of the City Palace, and the subject of a gold necklace with 11 tanzanites, ten opals, 11 emeralds, 40 apatite pearls, 60 emerald pearls and tanzanite, 39 yellow sapphires, diamonds. An opulence that would be appreciated by a maharaja. A ring, on the other hand, is dedicated to the temple of Karni Mata, where thousands of mice are considered sacred and are fed by devotees.
