Iris

The Irises bloom on Ponte Vecchio




Ponte Vecchio Gioielli, a Florentine company that has chosen the name of the famous place in the Tuscan city, was inspired by a flower, Iris, for its collection made of 18-karat gold, diamonds and semi-precious stones such as garnet, citrine, topaz, amethyst. All stones with bright colors, just as the character of the Tuscans is notoriously exuberant. Starting with the founder and current owner of the Maison, Ugo Calà.

It is worthwhile to open a parenthesis on a world that no longer exists: the story of the company tells that Ugo Calà was little more than a child when he helped his father in the barber shop, which was located right next to the Ponte Vecchio. Obviously the workshop was frequented by the goldsmiths who worked precisely in the workshops that are located near or right on the famous bridge. Ugo then decided to become an apprentice of one of the most famous jewelers of the Ponte Vecchio. The result is called Ponte Vecchio Gioielli, a goldsmith company that also works on behalf of third parties.

The Iris collection is one of the latest creations and is made with the use of dégradé cuts and colors of the stones, which increase the volumetric depth of the jewels and ensure their lightness.

The Tuum’s rainbow

Tuum, the brand of jewelry that engraves a prayer on rings and bracelets, add a new line: Iris. It is inspired by the colors of the rainbow. In essence, this is a colored version of the previous models that they have been successful. In the Iris collection, for example, there are rings and bangle of collections Decem and Origin. The jewelry are made of silver and rhodium, and enriched with topaz in the colors of the rainbow. The stones, explain at Tuum, they are not accommodated as the standards of traditional jewelry, the center, the point most visible: are embedded in the letters ‘o’ of a prayer, the Pater Noster. The explanation is that it give more value and emphasis to the message, making also of course, the most precious jewel. Do not are missed the biblical references: in the holy book of Christianity the rainbow is the symbol of the covenant between God and man, the promise to Noah that he would never send a flood to destroy mankind. In short, the rainbow is a synonym of serenity. The price of jewelery varies between 195 and 345 euro. Here are pictures and prices. Cosimo Muzzano
