Bernard James picks flowers in Brooklyn

Published on November 24, 2022

Anello con oro di diversi colori e diamante nero della collezione Flora

Brooklyn is a city within New York City and has developed its own characteristics. And also improper jewelers. In the emerging category is Bernard James, a black designer who has gained good notoriety. Started in 2010 with the idea of creating jewelry for a male audience, Bernard James then expanded his proposal to include women’s jewelry. But also, as is used today, unisex. The leather bracelets were then followed by rings and earrings in 18 or 14 carat gold, alongside those in silver. And diamonds of different sizes accompany jewels with precious gems such as sapphires, rubies and emeralds.

Alongside jewelery with a rather traditional design, James has also introduced collections that are inspired by the natural world, such as Flora and Fungi. Flora, for example, was inspired by a walk in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The jewels are composed of five distinct flowers: a lily, a petunia, a sunflower, a daisy and a rose, crafted in 14-karat white, pink, yellow and green gold and black diamonds.

As often happens in the United States, moving from one city to another, often even changing the time zone, is not unusual. Rachel Quinn, however, has made a lot of moves. Born in a small town in the deep south of the USA in contact with nature, she moved to Scotland to study at the School of Art The Glasgow School of Art. Back in America, she continued her art studies in Boston, and then Metal and Jewelry Arts in the Bfa of New York, the city where he followed his apprenticeship in jewellery. Finished? No, because she now lives and works in Ojai Valley, Southern California, where she has founded her jewelry brand since 2011.

Orecchini a cuore in oro 14 carati, zaffiri rosa e onice

Her premise on her school curriculum serves to explain why Rachel Quinn’s jewelry seems inspired by pop art and surrealism. Lips, hearts, skulls: 14-karat gold, together with mother-of-pearl, or precious and semi-precious stones are used to create modern jewelery with a special creative touch. Her jewels are also sold through online platforms, such as Moda Operandi.

Halloween jewels

Like every year (except 2020, perhaps) Halloween is an opportunity to party. A dark party, of course, which therefore requires suitable clothing. But not only that: even the jewelry department of each woman adapts to the general context. Here, then, are high-class jewels, or with a price that suits anyone, to celebrate the day of darkness.

By the way, maybe not everyone knows that the word Halloween is the contraction of All Hallows’ Evening, but it also has other names such as Allhalloween, All Hallows’ Eve, or All Saints’ Eve. The celebration was born in the countries of Christian worship on October 31, the eve of the feast of All Saints. In fact, the festival was dedicated to the memory of the dead, including saints and martyrs. Although, according to many, the festival is a legacy of ancient Celtic festivals, in particular the Gaelic festival of Samhain, which marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Today, however, for many Halloween has lost its original meaning and is above all a good reason to party.

Sophie Joanne’s good flowers

Anello in oro 14 carati, opale rosa intagliato, opale di fuoco

Today it is no longer enough to create beautiful jewels. They must also be good, fair, ethical, sustainable, ecological, inspired by the best feelings. All intentions perfectly interpreted by Sophie Joanne, a Dutch brand named after its founder. After a career as a creative director in the fashion industry, Sophie Joanne chose jewelry to express two passions: flowers and art. The production of painters such as Henry Matisse or Andy Wharol are accompanied by a careful, scrupulous, attention to the social impact of jewelry.

Orecchino in oro 14 carati e tormalina intagliata

Maybe she too because she, as a self-taught designer, started producing her jewels with the help of Indian goldsmiths. Another aspect that the brand cares a lot about is transparency, usually not used too much in the jewelry industry: the main brands, explains Sophie Joanne, apply a price difference between cost and sale of eight to ten times. The designer tries to keep margins lower and prices clear, with a full breakdown of the retail price for each item. And it’s almost obvious that the jewelry is made from 100% recycled gold, salvaged from other jewelry. In addition to usually 14-karat gold and semi-precious stones carved in the shape of a flower

Alice Waese between painting and jewelry

Published on October 25, 2022

Many jewelry designers call themselves artists. For some, the definition is right. Alice Waese, Canadian living in New York, is a painter of excellent watercolors, but at the same time she also designs and creates jewels with a material style. And her artistic training is reflected in the form of rings, necklaces and earrings. The jewels are handmade in sterling silver or 14 karat gold, along with diamonds or precious stones such as emeralds, sapphires, rubies and pearls. The appearance is deliberately irregular, as if even the jewels were the expression of a brushstroke of color.

Alice Waese debuted in 2011 with a unisex jewelry collection in Paris. A father is an artist and a stepmother who deals with fashion, from both of them she took something: the creative vein and the ability to work with their own hands. But she also studied creative writing in Montreal, fashion design in Toronto and sculpture and textiles in London. Her jewelry is also distributed through many online platforms.

Orecchini in oro e smeraldi by Larissa Moraes

Vincent Van Gogh is famous for his paintings, which have as their main subject the countryside around Arles, in Provence. But now the colors of her palette have been reborn in Brazil thanks to Larissa Moraes and her jewels. It is no coincidence that the designer from Brasilia, who gave her name to her Maison, was born into a family of artists. One of her collections is, in fact, dedicated to the Dutch painter in love with the sunny landscapes of southern France.

Orecchini Sunflower, in oro, citrini e diamanti gialli

For example, with the Rosebush necklace, inspired by Van Gogh’s Rosebush in Blossom work and the Sunflowers earrings, which showcase the many yellow shades of this flower in a series of citrines and yellow diamonds. The precious stones overlap creating a 3D effect, reflecting the idea of sunflowers and their numerous layers, to emulate the painting. A matte finish with lines represents the leaves while a glossy finish is used to represent the branches.

Although the vocation between jewelry and painting is testified by impeccable jewelry, Larissa had chosen to pursue a career in the law: she worked for many years as a legal assistant in the Brazilian Senate and in the federal government in Brasilia, the capital of the state. South American. But, in the end, she won the law of her passion: she started designing full time in late 2018 and in March 2020 Larissa won gold in the Design Award and Competition and later in the same year she won MJSA Vision Awards First and Second Place in the Professional Excellence, in the Business category and honorable mention.

GemGenève does not forget Ukraine. Also in the new edition of the event scheduled from 3 to 6 November there will be jewelry creators operating in the country under attack by Russia. In GemGèneve, the organizers planned the Strong & Precious project, which aims to make Ukrainian jewelers known on the international scene. Alongside contemporary creations, the antique jewels of the most famous Ukrainian jeweler of the 20th century, Joseph Marchak, will also be exhibited. He was Fabergé’s main competitor, yet Marchak was called the Cartier of Kiev. Now his jewels occupy a special place in private collections and auction houses.

Ukrainian goldsmith art has very deep roots and every phase of its history, from antiquity to modernity, deserves our careful attention. We are making every effort to organize this exhibition in order to amaze the foreign public with its originality and be remembered for a long time.
Natalia Kietiene, curator of the Strong & Precious project

Among the Ukrainian jewelry brands present on display are Nomis, Inesa Kovalova, Bevza, Rockah.brand, Sergey Zhernov Art & Jewelry, Drutis Jewelery, Lutiki, Gunia, Denis Music.

The dissemination of Ukrainian culture – cinema, art, music, literature or jewelry – is our duty today. We want to be recognized and seen through the prism of our truly brilliant cultural tradition. Our first exhibition was a real success and I have no doubt that this time too demanding and professional visitors will appreciate our goldsmith artists

Men with pearl necklace by Assael

Published on October 14, 2022

In the seventeenth century, gentlemen did not disdain brooches or pearl jewelry. Likewise, Indian maharajas have often used pearls, along with precious gems, to decorate turbans or embellish brooches. Understandably, jewelers today are aiming for a return of the male audience to high jewelery. This is the case of Assael, a New York Maison specializing in pearls and coral, which presents a 2023 communication campaign in which the man wears a string of pearls and a flashy brooch.

Anello della collezione Bubble con perle di Tahiti

It is not the first brand to try to persuade men to wear high jewelry: before Assael also brands like Mikimoto or Boucheron presented models wearing precious jewels instead of the usual chains with plaques and leather bracelets. The Assael campaign was shot in Miami by fashion photographer David Benoliel and involves models Michaela Kocianova and James Lorenzo, who wear Assael jewelry. A precious consensus to the style of the campaign came from the jewelery historian Vivienne Becker. Will it be enough to convince a manager to show up at the bank with a pearl necklace instead of a tie?

The ancient tradition of the chisel in the laboratory of Massai Orafi in Florence ♦

The art in Florence is not only one found in the halls of the Uffizi, under the arches of Santa Maria Novella, or of many masterpieces that constitute a unique heritage in the world. There is also the art passed down for generations and applied to objects such as jewelry. The goldsmith’s art of Florentine artisans, in fact, is one of the most famous and appreciated.

Anello in oro bianco e giallo, con tormaline rosa e diamanti

If you want to have a testimony, look Massai Orafi in Firenze. The company was opened in 1950 by master goldsmith Franco Massai, and now managed by his sons Gianni, Andrea and Enrico, using traditional processing methods (you can see them in the movie) and, above all, it preserves the style that characterizes the city of jewelery lily, with fretwork and engraving, typical Florentine goldsmith’s art, together with the use of precious stones and pearls. And more, the company has kept the laboratory in the historic center of Florence, on the top floor of a tower house of the 16th century that you can visit. There are no ghosts, be calm, but experts craftsmen which are alive and well.

Gaia Repossi does an encore for Robert Mapplethorpe

Published on September 23, 2022

Showroom

Robert Mapplethorpe’s photographs continue to fascinate Gaia Repossi. The American photographer, who passed away in 1987 and author of transgressive portraits, especially of the LGBT community, was at the center of a collection presented in 2021 by the Italian designer. A year later, the Paris-based designer (the Maison has entered the orbit of the LVMH group), proposes new pieces inspired by the work of the photographer, in collaboration with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation. The jewels are inspired not so much by photographs, but by the artist’s cultural context, reinterpreted in the minimal stylistic key of Gaia Repossi.

Anello in oro bianco Gaia Repossi-Robert Mapplethorpe

But not only. Because Mapplethorpe in the sixties had also created jewels himself or, more precisely, bijoux. Gaia Repossi was inspired by more than 150 references of the artist preserved in the archives of the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation in New York. They are necklaces of shells, pearls, crab claws, nails, nuts, parts of engines, made between 1965 and 1968 in New York.

He has worn several Patti Smith, his travel companion. The jewels in the Gaia Repossi collection are of different types: rings in mirror-polished white gold, but also in black gold, with a contrast that recalls the black & white images of the photographer. But there is no shortage of diamond necklaces. In all there are 11 new pieces divided into six themes, with names related to the work Robert Mapplethorpe: Dagger, Black x Cross, Bullseye, Relic, Chain and American Eagle.

Butterflies by Chopard for Mariah Carey

In 1997 Mariah Carey made her debut with the album entitled Butterfly. A quarter of a century later, in 2022, the butterfly turned into a Chopard jewel. The Maison presented two lines: Happy Butterfly of high jewelery and the Happy Butterfly x Mariah Carey Collection, designed with the accompaniment of the American singer. Obviously the jewels have the silhouette of the butterfly. Winged moths, in fact, are one of the topos of jewelry. But they don’t go out of fashion for this: a jewel in the shape of a butterfly always offers an image of lightness and joy.

The collection is also due to the relationship between Mariah Carey and Caroline Scheufele, co-president and artistic director of Chopard: the singer performed for the Swiss Maison at the Cannes 2019 Festival, when traditionally the brand presents the Red Carpet Collection of high jewelry. The Happy Butterfly collection includes three pieces of high jewelery with pavé diamonds: a pair of earrings, a necklace and a ring, all set in ethical and Fairmined certified 18K white gold, in addition to the Happy Butterfly x Mariah Carey Line, which is a line of fine jewelry in 18-karat gold, diamonds and carnelian.

A little color with Armiss

Mono-orecchino in oro 9 o 18 carati e smalto con topazio azzurro cielo taglio marquise

Armiss is an acronym of the name of the team that two years ago gave life to the brand: Arianna, Michele, Silvia and Stefania. Michele Elettro, with thirty years of experience as a goldsmith in Valenza (Italy), in 2004 founded his first atelier, Modellart, which worked on behalf of established jewelry brands. Silvia Raselli, on the other hand, has a professional experience with Damiani behind her and, before that, a diploma as a gemologist at Gia in New York. They are the two engines of the creative side of Armiss. The brand, born in the period of the pandemic, perhaps for this reason is proposed as a cheerful reaction to the gloomy atmosphere of that period.

Anello Infinito in oro rosa 18 carati con diamanti bianchi e smalto fucsia

Armiss’s jewels are of quality, in gold and diamonds, or semi-precious stones such as malachite, but also a touch of color thanks to the enamel inserts, which make the production of the young Maison suitable for forgetting the sadness and misunderstandings that accompany the life. A touch of vivacity that, without being excessive, can be in tune with the style of those who love to get out of the usual patterns.

Seaman Schepps story

Orecchini con rubini sintetici e diamanti

Short history of the great American designer Seaman Schepps, a master of color ♦ ︎
There are designers who have a resounding success for a shorter or longer period. And there are designers who enter history. One of these is Seaman Schepps. Son of immigrants, he became famous for his vintage-style jewelry. From the East Side of New York, at the end of the nineteenth century, Schepps moved to California, with its own shop in Los Angeles that also sold antiques in addition to jewelry. In 1931 he returned to New York, where he finally had a good success with a store on Madison Avenue.

Anello di Seaman Schepps in oro e lapislazzuli

Schepps, like many Americans of that time, regarded Europe as the beacon of creativity. Therefore, when he visited Paris, he studied Verdura’s jewels for Chanel, Suzanne Belperron, René Boivin and Jeanne Toussaint for Cartier. These great designers have contributed to the professional growth of Schepps, which has found its artistic path: large jewelry, super retro-style bracelets, many colored stones. He was not a revolutionary of jewelry, but a painter who used the colors of the palette in an original way.

Collana con tormalina rosa, perle, zaffiri, diamanti

The stones were often cut irregularly, they used little diamonds, while they preferred pastel-colored stones like blue sapphires, emeralds, yellow topazes, citrines, rose quartz, jade, turquoise and lapis lazuli. In short, he has reworked already used geometries, such as the Maltese cross, but with his own style. His work continued until the late 1960s. Then, the Seaman Schepps brand was sold to Jay Bauer and Anthony Hopenjam and still exists. But the designer’s original jewels are still very sought after. Cosimo Muzzano

Jewelery becomes gender fluid

Published on September 12, 2022

news

Boucheron, orecchino freccia in oro bianco e diamanti

If Mikimoto launched the pearl necklace for men two years ago, if Tiffany never misses an opportunity to emphasize the wearability of her jewels for male representatives, if Fope has also extended her elastic gold shirt to the misters of the planet (l ‘list can go on and on), does it mean that men’s jewelry is the current trend? Not really. In Vicenzaoro, the usual appointment with Trendvision Jewelery + Forecasting, the independent observatory of Ieg (the company that organizes Vicenzaoro) on the world of jewelry, took note of a widespread trend among young people, gender fluidity. Of course, it can also be considered confusion, not everyone likes it. But it is undeniable that some of the new generations tend to blur their identity. Any judgment you can give to this gender smoothie is a godsend for jewelry companies. In short, it is a market that is expanding, in proportion to the blurred boundary between man and woman, at least for those who follow this trend.

But beware: we are not talking about traditional military-style bracelets or skull-shaped rings designed for the man who never has to ask. The concept of the trend is summarized by Lynn Yaeger, contributing editor of Vogue USA, that is a collaborator of the monthly: «Everyone can buy everything. Among young people we find a freedom and fluidity that once did not exist. Today, genres are also mixed in jewelry: silver with very precious stones, for example. That young people no longer define themselves in a gender has an impact on the jewelry industry: men also use women’s necklaces with diamonds and pendants “.

Erin e Nicole con la figlia Goldie, famiglia non tradizionale con gioielli Tiffany

In any case, there is not only gender fluidity, mostly represented by the tendency of men to use feminine accessories, rather than the other way around. The trends identified this year by the creative director and co-founder Paola De Luca take note of this identity babel. But there are also nano-ceramics and 3D, sustainable, circular and recycled materials, shapes inspired by the textures of nature and surfaces kept in their raw state, but also jewels that tell sentimental stories kept inside them. Trendvision Jewelery + Forecasting was also an opportunity to talk about metaverse and jewelery. A topic to which we will dedicate an article in the coming days.

The Venice International Film Festival, number 79 in history, is one of the world events that offers greater visibility. It is therefore logical that the actresses try to show their best, helped by the great jewelery houses that lend their jewels to sparkle on the red carpet.

A jewelry slam for Serena Williams

It sounds strange, but in the jewelry collections launched a few years ago by Serena Williams there are no real tennis bracelets. Or, better, there is a jewel defined as a tennis bracelet, but which does not have the shape of the bracelet launched half a century ago by another tennis player, Chris Evert (find the history of tennis bracelets here). Serena Williams is also a great tennis player, who she has now decided to devote herself to something else. Also to jewels, in fact, with her brand Serena Williams Jewelry. The website through which the American tennis player sells jewelry under her name has recently undergone a redesign and has also launched a collection of high jewelry with diamonds and precious metals “ethically sourced and conflict-free”.

The collections have names inspired by the world of tennis: Queen of Your Court, which includes bracelets and necklaces defined as tennis, even if they do not follow the classic model. Unstoppable is the name of another collection, which alludes to Serena’s many tennis successes. The defined tennis shape could actually be defined as riviera, that is, with stones of different sizes to climb. The tennis star has also launched a line of costume jewelry called S by Serena.

From Ukraine to California, but well before the eastern country was invaded by the Russian army. Svetlana Lazar moved to San Francisco when she was only eight, then she graduated from high school and attended courses in sculpture and jewelry, to learn the goldsmith technique needed to start her own business. But she, before her, she had a lot of practice: for 11 years she worked at the counter of a jewelry retailer, with the carving and setting of stones. A hard work which, on the other hand, has endowed Svetlana with precision and awareness in her own means.

Anello in oro 18 carati con tormalina e piccoli diamanti

As with many other American designers with roots in distant countries, it is legitimate to ask whether Svetlana Lazar’s jewels also reflect her history and culture of origin. The answer is no. The jewels are made of 18 karat gold, with the addition of stones such as tourmaline, or opal, aquamarine or sodalite, together with small diamonds or sapphires. Some stones are set in such a way as to suggest movement across the translucent surfaces of the gems.

The sea is the source of inspiration for Katey Walker, a jewelry designer who grew up on the Connecticut coast. Even when she moved to New York, the vastness of the ocean remained in the mind and heart of the designer, and she transfers this imprinting to her jewels. But it is a path that you have taken step by step. After a degree from Suffolk University in Boston, she majored in jewelry design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Then, she worked as an apprentice for one of the last major high jewelry manufacturing companies left in New York’s diamond district, working on pieces for Tiffany and David Yurman. In short, first the study, then the practical experience.

She uses high-carat yellow and rose gold and a variety of natural gemstones, such as opals, all handcrafted from start to finish by her in her studio in the Connecticut River Valley, where she is back. The jewels are modern and cheerful, without unnecessary extravagance.

Milamore was founded in 2019 by the CEO and creative director George Root. The brand, Milamore, is a tribute to Root’s grandmother, Milagros, word which in Spanish means miracle. But for the family members was called Mila. The abbreviation, combined with the Italian word for love, amore, has turned into Milamore. But the curious aspect is another: the jewels are designed in New York, but handmade in Japan.

There is one reason: George Root was born in the Philippines, but grew up in Japan and moved to New York only in 2014. Since then he has decided to become a bridge in the luxury sector between East and West. Before becoming the creative director of Milamore, he worked for publishing in the fashion sector, and published a book on globalization in the Japanese market. In short, a man with multiple interests. Finally, Root took on the role of CEO and creative director of Milamore. The brand creates high quality jewelry, without compromising. Prices range from $ 600 to $ 13,000, again in 18-karat gold and precious stones.
