The protagonists are the rigid necklaces: maxi-hearts, stylized roses and ginkgo biloba leaves, also available in earring versions, but also key rings and house-shaped bookmarks with a contrasting little heart in red enamel and star earrings. They are handmade jewellery, the sale of which goes to support training courses and work preparation projects, intended for some young inmates of the Nisida juvenile prison.

The proposals by Burma, the French queen of bijoux: fake jewels that seem true ♦

About the twenties, in Paris, they have written many, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and of course, the French authors. But several pages of the Jazz Age has also was been written by a Maison specializing in jewelry: Burma. In Paris is a synonym of jewelry created with elements that seem valuable, but they are in half. For example, vermeil (gold-plated silver), or cubic zirconia instead of diamonds. But Burma has specialized in this capacity to bring large pieces of jewelry without the need to use always real gemstones: its jewels are from nearly a century of valuable pieces with a zero in the least.

If a large ring with sapphires and rubies might cost, say, 20,000 Euros, by Burma with the same appearance it could cost 2,000 or 200.

Collana, bracciale, anello in oro bianco e burmalite — Necklace, bracelet, ring in white gold and burmalite

From Gaston Doumergue, who inaugurated the Maison, to Josephine Baker and the Folies Bergères, something has changed nowadays. For example, Burma invented and patented Burmalite, a synthetic stone, zirconium oxide, similar to diamond. But it costs a lot less and doesn’t look like an unnatural gem to an untrained eye. The colored stones of the Maison, with this material, are a real show. Seeing is believing.

The 10 rules for buying a jewel on the internet

Published on April 3, 2024

Campus

Do you want to buy a jewel on the internet? Know that you are not alone. In 2020, web searches involving jewelry increased by 28% and online jewelry sales are expected to steadily increase. But is it safe to buy jewelry on the internet? What are the dangers? How to defend yourself from scams?

Unfortunately, even if most of the people who buy jewelry on the internet have no problems, the scam is always lurking. But, thankfully, it’s not that hard to avoid getting cheated. Just follow the rules and do a few small checks before typing in your credit card number.

Acquisti su internet — Shopping on the internet

What are the dangers when buying a jewel on the internet? In 2019, for example, in the US, the FBI received an average of 1,300 reports of online theft per day (not just about jewelry, of course), for a total of $ 3.5 billion illegally stolen. The worst scam is to buy a fake jewel, perhaps a ring with the brand of a famous Maison. Or, simply, with diamonds that are not diamonds. Or diamonds born in the laboratory and not natural. Or, again, gold jewelry that turns out to be simply covered with a thin plating. Finally, the most frequent disappointment is that of finding a jewel that does not correspond to the idea suggested by the site (or the jeweler) who sold it. For example, with tiny stones, less brilliant than those in the photograph and, above all, of Lilliputian dimensions.

Shopping online in tutta comodità — Online shopping in complete convenience

So why do internet jewelry purchases keep increasing? The dangers listed are possibilities, but fortunately they are not the rule. In addition, it is very convenient to receive a ring at home (when you are not mistaken in choosing the size). For many people it is not easy to approach a jewelry store for the embarrassment of having to admit the availability of a limited budget. Or because, simply, the desired jewelry brand is not available in physical stores in your city or locality. So, don’t worry too much: following the rules for buying jewelry on the internet can make you have the advantages of online shopping without running any dangers.

1 Check who the seller is
A well-known brand will surely avoid selling pits. And it does not need to be one of the largest companies in the world, as long as the brand is large enough and well known in the area in which it operates: a company is unlikely to risk losing its credibility. But it is also important to check that the site on which you are about to make a purchase is a reliable one, that of the brand of jewelery you want to purchase or a reliable online shopping site, Luisaviaroma, Modus Operandi, or a well-known jewelery company and, above all , which really exists. To avoid unpleasant surprises, check that you are not a victim of phishing.

Meglio un controllo attento — Better to check carefully

2 Beware of mistakes
It seems trivial to say, but one of the dangers involved is to misspell the company name in the browser’s address bar. If you google Tiffany, you can be sure that the search engine will show you the right link. But if, by mistake, you write Tifany (for example) in the address bar, you can run the risk of ending up on a site that mimics the famous jewelry brand. Or, even worse, on a site built to resemble the authentic one in every way. Obviously to take possession of your data.

Non sbagliate a digitare il nome — Don’t misspell the name

3 Find out the identity of the company
If you buy a jewel from a company in your country, it will be easy to check on their website what the name of the company behind the brand is. The name of the jewelry brand, in fact, does not always correspond to that of the company that produces them. A quick web search by typing the name of the company can confirm that the company really exists, the address, the name of the owner. All information that is an extra guarantee. And if you want to be even safer, make a phone call to the company.

Controllate le «impronte digitali» dell'azienda — Check the company’s “digital footprints”

4 Beware of easy lucky
Before making a purchase, compare similar jewelry from different companies. Carats of gold, the weight of the stones, the quality of diamonds: these are all elements that affect the price of a jewel. When you have an idea of how much the jewel you want to buy can cost, you can discard incredible discounts, unmissable offers, stratospheric discounts that are about to expire on sites other than those of a well-known manufacturer. It is probably fraud.

Diffidate dei colpi di fortuna — Be wary of lucky breaks

5 Avoid public wi-fi networks
You are at the airport and you have boring hours in front of you waiting to board the plane. To distract yourself, decide to go shopping with your smartphone. Mistaken. If you use public wi-fi networks, the danger is around the corner. There may be a cybercriminal around you just waiting for some gullible to enter your credit card number. The public networks, in fact, are very convenient, but also at risk if you venture into shopping. Fortunately, however, there is a remedy: use a VPN: a virtual private network makes your connection impenetrable. It is a service that can be purchased for a few euros or dollars a month.

6 Beware of passwords
It seems incredible, but even for 2020 the most widespread password worldwide is 123456. An invitation to dinner for those who want to steal your data. Use passwords that are difficult to guess, with a mix of lowercase and uppercase numbers, letters, and symbols. Avoid birth dates and names of children and partners. Think of a movie, place or book that is important to you and start from that. Don’t use the same password for different sites.

File che contiene alcune password criptate — File containing some encrypted passwords

7 Pay attention to the abbreviation at the top left
E-commerce sites, as well as banks or where money passes, must have the web address preceded by https: //. These letters indicate that the site is protected with SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. If an e-commerce site starts with http only, it means that it is not secure and is probably very suspicious.

Shopping con lo smartphone — Shopping with smartphone

8 Credit card is better
A credit card does not allow the seller to directly access the money in your bank account. Additionally, most credit cards offer refund liability in the event of fraud. Therefore, a credit card is better than a debit card (such as an ATM).

9 Consider a virtual credit card
To purchase a jewel, you can use a virtual credit card, basically a temporary card number that is linked to the real credit card account. In this way, in the event of data theft, the damage will be limited.

10 Size matters
One of the biggest disappointments is to receive a jewel that turns out to be much smaller than expected. Yet on the site it looked so big … Before buying a jewel, check the dimensions described carefully and try to compare them to a jewel you already own. You will realize the differences and avoid bad surprises.

Kalevala, the jewels from the big chili

Published on November 6, 2023

The Finnish brand Kalevala Jewelry presents, among others, the Kosmos collection designed by the Italian Antonio Mazzamauro ♦

The big chill jewelry. Or, if you prefer, the favorite jewelry by the Finns. Kalevala Jewelry is one of the most popular brands ever in the Scandinavian country. The company has a long history: it was founded by a writer, Elsa Heporauta, in 1930, in a fairly random fashion. In fact, her goal was to raise funds to erect a statue in honor of the Finnish woman.

Elsa and other women have decided to make and sell jewelry inspired by those from the Viking era. They started with the selection of 40 models from the historical collections of the National Museum of Finland. The first collection was in 1937 and debuted at a tea party with the First Lady of Finland, Kaisa Kallio. But the Second World War interrupted the project. The company, however, was reborn in 1947 and the brand has focused on new designers. The business took off. This is not a small craft brand: is a company that produces jewelry with Nordic design, but mass. With some differences, it is a kind of Ikea of jewels. Everything, however, is produced in Finland, bronze, silver or gold. With the success the dream of Elsa Heporauta finally came true and the statue of the Finnish woman resides in the premises of Kalevala jewelry factory in Pitäjänmäki, Helsinki. If you like, the jewelry are also sold online.

Design, technology, innovation. They are three elements in one in the design of Laura Santi, who founded the Ellesanti brand in Padua. Where Elle stands for the initial of Laura, but also for the feminine personal pronoun she, in French. Laura Santi, like other designers, also began her professional life in another world.

Brosway Wishes

Published on March 16, 2023

Desire, according to the definition found in the dictionary, is an acute feeling of need to achieve or obtain what is believed to be indispensable for the satisfaction of one’s physical needs, in particular referring to the sexual or spiritual sphere. And who in the world has no desires? Indeed, desires are usually much more numerous than we can satisfy. But there is one aspect that knows (almost) no limits in achieving desires: that of jewels. True, the very expensive ones are perhaps unattainable, but the wishes concerning more easily accessible jewels can be satisfied.

Perhaps Brosway was thinking of this when he launched the Desideri collection. The collection consists of steel chains in natural color, or with a golden finish made up of many small spheres. Blue, white or purple cubic zirconia are also added to bracelets and necklaces. Desires that can be achieved with a budget limited to 24, 29 or 39 euros.

Boccadamo is increasingly green

Published on March 7, 2023

news

Is it possible to create green jewels even if they are other colors? It is the path that more and more companies are taking, convinced and aware that the aspect of environmental impact is no longer secondary, even in the choice of who buys. Boccadamo, a company specialized in affordable bijoux based in Frosinone, has also decided to follow a green path. Pushing on a decisive turn towards sustainability is the owner of the company, Tonino Boccadamo, who claims attention to the green ahead of its time, that is, already present for several years. Now the company has decided to underline the stages of the journey that began in 2013, with the decision to invest in photovoltaic systems.

The panels were used to use clean energy and make production self-sufficient, limiting energy supplies and reducing carbon dioxide emissions during plant operation, with minimal environmental impact. Then, Boccadamo also decided to use recycled silver and bronze, choosing certified suppliers, companies of reference in the trade, recovery and refining of precious metals, which have accreditations and certifications obtained from the main national and international authorities, concerning product quality , process, attention to the environment and safety.

Gold and silver are materials that can be recycled indefinitely, without losing their quality. The use of recycled silver and bronze, underlines the company, for Boccadamo jewels involves a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, water consumption and other impacts on the environment, since the use of recycled metals requires a much lower amount of resources than those extracted. Furthermore, the percentage of extracted silver still used for Boccadamo creations comes from transparent extractive mines, which respect and protect workers’ rights and encourage responsible commercial practices. The Chain of Custody and Code of Practice (CoP) certifications of the Responsible Jewelery Council (RJC), held by Boccadamo suppliers, constitute a guarantee of the integrity of the products and materials used, allowing the company to know the complete history of how they have been sourced, tracked and processed, from mine to retail. Finally, the crystals and semi-precious stones used do not contain lead and are all certified nickel free.

Paviè earrings, necklaces and rings are available at a very affordable price, with the idea of offering bijoux that can be changed often without too many problems. To contain costs, Paviè uses resins worked with artisan techniques, Swarovski crystals and brass, but also silver.

The type of material used also allows us to propose a large number of models, including earrings with cubic zirconia, crystals or resin, which are suitable for the creation of classic or more fashionable shapes. The brand has also organized an online shop to reach the widest possible audience. The brand was also present at the winter edition of Vicenzaoro.

In any case, the Brescia-based brand is launching two collections of bijoux every year, or perhaps it would be better to say two editions, which are on display in the showroom in Corso Venezia, in the heart of Milan. From the costume jewelery, the brand moved on to the production of silver jewelery, distributed through a sales network that includes Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, which has more than 500 customers worldwide.

The jewels are, as mentioned, in 925 silver, but with elaborate shapes and with a wide use of zircons, white and colored with the shades of tourmalines, or hard stones and mother-of-pearl in all shades. Silver is also available in a gold-plated version in yellow or rosé tones. In short, something more than just bijoux.

Valentine’s crystals for Boccadamo

Published on January 22, 2023

Crystals and bijoux, a close-knit couple. It is therefore normal that on the occasion of Valentine’s Day all the brands of fashion jewelry, that is jewels that focus on the shape rather than on the precious material, take the field to please couples or, more precisely, to suggest a gift to be presented on the 14th. February, Valentine’s Day. Boccadamo, a company specializing in whimsical and high-impact bijoux, suggests taking a look at collections such as Caleida, Sharada and Allegra, classic lines of the Lazio brand.

They are bijoux with sinuous volumes and pendants with a heart-shaped design, with details in cubic zirconia and crystals in soft nuances. The heart shape, for example, is used by the Caleida line. Sharada focuses on the briolette, teardrop cut of its colored crystals with cubic zirconia details. Finally, the Allegra collection focuses on light with a palette of colors which, also in this case, underline the heart-shaped cut.
