Traveling through geometry with Ele Karela

Published on June 8, 2022

Born in Athens, raised (professionally) in London: Eléftheria Karela, who founded the Ele Karela brand, is a Greek jewelry designer who loves to innovate. Maybe even amaze. She can. She graduated from Central Saint Martins and has been producing jewelry since 2008. But only with small collections and, preferably, she works with bespoke orders. Her jewels are unique pieces inspired (also) by ancient myths and symbols, which she transforms into stories told through gold, diamonds, but also less precious stones, such as quartz or iolite. However, they are always stones with particular qualities.

Another characteristic aspect of Ele Karela’s jewels is the search for elaborate geometries, which really have the quality of being unique. Necklaces and rings, in particular, are often built with proportions determined by the reflections of the stones, with volumes finding a balance even outside the usual shape. On the other hand, Greek architecture is historically the basis of that with which western cities are built. Finally, a certain new age scent adds character to the jewels, like a spice with a surprising taste.

Barbara Heinrich, from bunches to jewels

Published on June 6, 2022

Children often use small bunches of grapes to simulate a jewel and Barbara Heinrich grew up next to a vineyard in Heilbronn near the Black Forest. Maybe that game inspired her career as a jewelry designer. The rest was done by her very German education: she followed a three-year apprenticeship with a master goldsmith in Waldorf, so rigorous that apprentices were not allowed to speak or listen to music during the day. Afterwards he continued his university studies at the Academy of Pforzheim, the capital of jewelry in Germany.

In 1983, Barbara Heinrich received a Rotary scholarship, which allowed her to study in the United States, where she completed her Masters of Fine Arts degree at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Then, finally, the designer devoted herself full time to her passion: she founded a studio and moved to Pittsford, New York.

He works with a team of jewelers, with pieces that use multilayer finishes, mainly in 18-karat gold. Gold is brushed and combined with tastefully chosen stones. He has received many national and international awards, including the Couture: Best of Gold of 2009, MJSA Vision Award 2011, the Fashion Award and Luster Award from the International Pearl Design Competition from the Cultured Pearl Association of America.

An example of Barbara Heinrich’s work is the pendant with a large black marquise cut diamond set between golden leaves and scattered diamonds, with a black shark leather strap. It can also be worn alone or as a brooch. It was presented at Couture 2019.

Ana-Katarina’s confidential eyes

Do you want to have close or, better, wear the glance of your lover? At the end of the eighteenth century the fashion spread of making jewels that had a small reproduction of the lover’s eye, to be worn clandestinely. And this is what Ana-Katarina Vinkler-Petrovic proposes, an American designer who creates the jewels of the Eye Love collection with the shape of the eyes. And, if you want, you can also replicate the look of a loved one if you send a photo of the eye to the designer, who then will transmit it to his craftsmen to create a bespoke jewel.

Ana-Katarina was born in Boston to Serbian and Slovenian parents, an architect and a painter. Before becoming a designer, when she was studying at university, she was also in Belgrade to write war correspondences, during the conflict of the early nineties and, moreover, she embarked on humanitarian activities. In 2007 she started dealing with jewelry.

Her jewels-eyes, to which were then added the lips, also seem to have liked some royal families of the Middle East. Ana-Katarina also chose to use recycled, fair-trade reused materials. It is part of Ethical Metalsmiths and Agta (American Gem Trade Association), passionately supports ethical and sustainable practices in the creation of its collections. His Eye Love collection is made up of cameos carved in the shape of an eye in blue agate on 18-carat yellow gold and embellished with sapphires and diamonds.

André Marcha’s jewels, fantasies in the ancient Phoenician land with the Drape collection ♦
He is a jeweler, son of jewelers, with jewelers sons and, from mother, nephew of famous jewelers like the Boghossians. Family traditions are important. Especially if you live and work in that country that was once called the Middle East Switzerland: Lebanon. Despite the difficulties that has crossed the ancient land of the Phoenicians, Beirut has always been the cradle of many jewelers of value, as André Marcha, now helped by his daughter Stephanie and his sons Bruno and Jeff, who work with him. Their kingdom is located inside the Hotel Phenicia, where for almost 20 years there is the shop with André Marcha standing ovation jewelry. However, his debut as a jeweler took place earlier in 1969. Do not think of an oriental style.

The jewels of the Lebanese Maison show that open fantasy that could have sprung from the mind of a London or Paris designer. As in the case of the Drape collection, in which gold and pavé of precious or colored stones are worked in such a way as to represent a moving fabric. A precious drape that is not only an original interpretation of pins and rings, but also a testimony of the goldsmith’s skill that is still in the country. Now the jewels of André Marcha can be found from Los Angeles to London, and sometimes even at Christie’s or Sotheby’s auctions. Family traditions are important also for this.

Films, plots, interpretations. But also many jewels: as always, the Cannes Film Festival reserves a spectacle in the show, that of dresses combined with necklaces, earrings and rings of high jewelery. On these occasions there are Maison more active than others, such as the Parisian Messika. With the jewels designed by Valérie Messika, the model Lori Harvey was on the show, wearing the High Jewelry Shards Of Mirror necklace combined with the Illusionistes diamond clips. And on her hands the two-fingered Danseurs Aériens ring and an iconic Toi & Moi ring. In Messika also the former Miss Universe and actress, Urvashi Rautela, with Exotic Charms earrings, ring and bracelet from the Messika by Kate Moss High Jewelry collection.

Also with Messika jewels also the French actress Anne Parillaud, with the Desert Bloom earrings, from the Born To Be Wild High Jewelry collection, the Lebanese Alice Abdel Aziz, with the Diamond Catcher earrings and the Desert Bloom ring, from the Born To Be collection Wild High Jewelry and the Italian actress Margherita Buy, with the Move 10 necklace for the premiere of her film. Finally, the French actress Luana Bajrami wore the Desert Bloom necklaces combined with the Toi & Moi My Twin ring.

Messika should be mentioned first because it is the Maison most massively present at the Festival. Suffice it to say that a small army of celebrities showed up under the French brand’s banner in Cannes. Like the German model Toni Garrn, with her husband Alex Pettyfer, with earrings and ring by Twisted Wave, Rockefeller Double ring mixed with the famous Toi & Moi High Jewelry ring. Another model, Josephine Skriver, chose the brand’s iconic Zelda choker, combined with the Illusionistes asymmetrical earrings and the Concorde ring and the Twin Souls double ring. The supermodel Jasmine Tookes walked the runway with the Messika High Jewelry Magnetic Love single earring on one side and the Equilibristes earring on the other, paired with the Equilibristes ring and the Danseurs Aériens rings for her red carpet moment. Again: also from Messika the French TV and radio host Laurie Cholewa with My Twin Spiral. And Eva Longoria showed up with several Messika rings: Released Sun, the Independant Icon ring, the My Twin ring and the iconic Glam’Azone double ring for the Global Gift Gala.

Another Maison present in Cannes is Piaget. Katherine Langfrod and Forest Whitaker presented themselves with the creations of the Swiss Maison. The actress chose a high jewelery necklace from the Limelight Sunny Side collection in white gold, a large cushion-cut emerald of 12.20 carats and diamonds. In addition, she chose ring and earrings in white gold and diamonds. Forest Whitaker, actor and producer, opted for a refined Piaget Polo Emperador Tourbillon Watch.

The Italian Maison Damiani chose the Paralympic athlete Bebe Vio, present in Cannes as L’Oreal Paris ambassador, to wear the Mimosa collection earrings in white gold, with white and black diamonds and Damiani classic tennis shoes in white gold.

The American actress Chelsea Harris, on the other hand, chose to wear Pianegonda’s Tecum collection for the screening of her latest film Top Gun: Maverick. Chelsea is known for her roles in hit TV series such as Designated Survivor, Snowpiercer and Start Trek.

The conversations with the moon of Karma El Khalil

Orecchini in oro bianco con apatite e diamanti

She is a designer with a degree in psychology, of Lebanese origins, but with life and work in New York: Karma El Khalil is one of the most imaginative representatives of the new jewelry. Her new collection is called Conversations with the moon and for the designer she represents the positive turning point after the long pandemic season. It is also a collection with an immediately recognizable temperament, which uses large semi-precious stones, in particular morganite, opal, topaz and apatite. Gems are best used, with surprising effects, often with clusters on chandelier earrings.

Anello in oro bianco con morganite e diamanti

The gems are set in 18K gold, along with small diamonds set in the metal. In some cases the stones have been left in their original, rough state, but most of the time they follow traditional cuts. The idea is that the stones can recall the reflections of the moon on the large skyscrapers of the city but, of course, those who wear a jewel of this type are likely to soon forget the combination. Prices range from $ 1,200 to $ 21,000.

Minty Sky jwl jewels in the sky

Anello in oro bianco con zaffiro giallo e diamanti

At a time when Russia is not enjoying great popularity in the West, designer Elizaveta Chaykina left Moscow to participate in GemGèneve, Switzerland. It cannot be said that the designer lacks resourcefulness: her jewels were exhibited a few meters from those of Strong & Precious, an initiative to present the work of some Ukrainian jewelry designers. But politics (and sad war events) do not have anything to do with the work of Elizaveta, who founded the Russian jewelry brand Minty Sky jwl, originally from “a Siberian city in the middle of the steppe”.

Liza Chaikina says it took seven years to create her own style, to develop an inner vision of beauty and an extraordinary ability to distinguish gems by touch. She is also the author of the book Russian Emptiness, and has chosen the sky as her main source of inspiration and as a reference to her brand. She uses only natural stones. For example, even gray, yellow, pink, salt and pepper diamonds, which are new in Russia. The jewels are in gold or silver, without plating, the metal “is what it seems”. In addition, together with the classic emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds, she uses rarer stones such as andesine, andalusite, iridescent garnet, tanzanite, accompanied by certificates of the gemological laboratories, attached to most of the jewels. «Our values», explains Liza Chaikina, «are ethical production located in Russia, love for nature and the world around us and emotional involvement in the process of creating a product». These are values that everyone can share, even in the West.

«Dear Americans, we will explain to you what Italian jewelry is». This is the goal of a three-day workshop scheduled in New York, at the headquarters in Piazza Italia (346 Madison Avenue, New York City) from 18 to 20 May. The event also has a name: The Italian Jewelry Manifesto. It is an educational moment that offers the opportunity to get in touch with over 50 companies in the Italian gold-jewelery sector. The event was organized by ICE (the government export agency) together with Federorafi and the Italian Foreign Ministry. The creative direction has been entrusted to Paola De Luca, who every year proposes analyzes on jewelry trends, and to her team The Futurist.

Palazzo Italia, 346 Madison Avenue, New York City

The companies that will participate in the event represent all the Italian goldsmith-jeweler districts, from North to South, from the more industrial one of Vicenza, to the district of Valenza, which has always been recognized for its diamond work, from that of Arezzo known for its rich production of goldsmith’s typical of this area, up to Torre del Greco which has always stood out for its craftsmanship in coral and cameos.

The Italian Jewelry Manifesto foresees meetings and events, with a press conference to be held on May 19th at 4.30 pm, at the end of which a tour of the stands of the exhibiting companies is planned, for meetings with press and buyers. On 19 May, at the end of the tour with the companies, there will be a gala dinner with a personalized cameo.

We are pleased to present to Italian companies this new form of jewelery promotion which combines traditional methods with innovative tools with a stable presence on a particularly advanced market such as the American one. The initiative not only aims to strengthen relations with key players in the area, but, as also highlighted by the title of the event, to present Made in Italy as a leader in terms of innovation, design, technology and the main driving force for industry trends.

Working for 40 years in the world of finance, between mergers and acquisitions, can be exciting. But in the end she gets tired. Thus, after having worked in several companies and having founded the Vator Investment Club as a business angel, Erin Flynn in 2021 turned the page to devote herself to jewelry, in San Francisco. After, however, having studied the market, Cad design and gained experience from Tiffany and Cartier. The result is Erin Flynn Fine Jewelry.

Rings, earrings and necklaces have simple, minimal shapes, but with a design that adds a defined style to the jewelry. Champagne Bubbles, for example, reproduces the visual effect of bubbles in sparkling wine glasses. The Megawatt line, on the other hand, focuses on alternating between different stone cuts and Defining Lines chooses the path of geometry, with the addition of brooches also for men.

European style, American DNA: Sidney Garber’s jewels

Published on April 28, 2022

Rings/Showroom/COLLANE

From Chicago to Valenza or Vicenza, but carrying their own precious stones: the story of Sidney Garber testifies to the scruple and precision of the American jeweler. Son of a watchmaker, Sidney opened his jewelry store in 1946. And Brook, his daughter, followed him on his travels and in the store. The founder of the jewelry disappeared, and in 2008 it was she who took over the reins of the company. Not only that: it has decided to relaunch the business with the opening of another boutique in the heart of Manhattan, on Madison Avenue, alongside the one in Chicago.

The link with the founder’s style has remained: gold, lots of gold, also used for tubogas bracelets and necklaces, stones and pavé, long gem-studded necklaces, very European design: Sidney Garber has convinced New Yorkers and beyond. And Brook Garber has won a prominent role: in 2015 she was elected to the Council of Fashion Designers of America, an exclusive group of the main American designers of fashion, jewelry and accessories. In addition, part of the Maison’s profits go to non-profit organizations dedicated to mental health and children’s education.

When he was 28, he founded Davidor, a Maison of jewelery and high jewelry: David Gusky, who is now 32, is a special type. American, the son of New York wholesale jewelry dealers, he settled in Paris, on rue de la Paix. But he also loves Italy. It is no coincidence that he chose an architectural element inspired by Italy as the iconic sign of his brand. To be precise, this is the arch that, says the designer, is the one used by Andrea Palladio in his 16th century Venetian villas, which he himself saw in Vicenza, where one of the jewelry industry districts is located.

Not only that: the love for the bow has also moved to a particular form of gems. The Maison has patented the Davidor Arch Cut Diamond and the Davidor Arch Cut Gemstone. The jewels are made in France using gold, platinum and precious stones. Quality is ensured not only by the experience accumulated in the family by David Gusky, but also by his studies at the Gemological Institute of America (Gia) in New York.

The psychedelic hexagons of ReRe Corcoran

Published on April 24, 2022

Rings/bracciale/Showroom

The name ReRe is not very common, not even in America, where ReRe Corcoran lives and works. The designer founded ReRe Jewelry, based in New York, although she is originally from Boston, where she studied. Her jewels are very fashionable in the New York that matters. But in addition to being fashionable, the designer is also an innovator: she has developed a revolutionary enamel manufacturing process. With the colors of this material ReRe creates jewels that sometimes allude also to the psychedelic season of the sixties, with a hypnotic mixture of shades. In addition to enamel, ReRe jewels are made of 18 carat gold.

One aspect that is probably related to the previous activity of ReRe Corcoran, who after studying painting at Boston College, worked in the fashion industry in New York. Another aspect that characterizes the Maison’s jewels is the almost obsessive repetition of the hexagonal shape. According to the designer, the hexagons at the base of the beehives are evidence of a highly efficient geometric shape. There is no lack of charity in the ReRe Jewelry business: the proceeds from a collection, Angel, go in part to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

From the press office of Giorgio Armani for the United Kingdom, to be founder and designer of By Pariah, a London brand specialized in quality jewelry, but not excessively demanding. Sophie Karg achieved success in a short time, because she founded By Pariah only in 2016. The name has nothing to do with the jewels: instead, it refers to a Caribbean beach that Sophie admired on the pages of National Geographic.

Anello in oro 14 carati, agata, diamanti

In any case, the designer has maintained an instinctive link with the world of fashion: before the Armani fashion shows, as a child Sophie used to parade her brothers on a home catwalk with her grandmother’s silk scarves. And even jewels seem to have a link with the fashion world. They are made of 9 or 14 carat gold, assists with precious and semiprecious stones: diamonds, dark red tiger’s eye, green amethyst, yellow citrine and lapis lazuli. The price is affordable, the most expensive jewels, those with diamonds, slightly exceed the thousand euros, but for those with hard stones and 9 carat gold the figure must be divided by five. An interesting detail: Pariah uses ecological packaging, so the bags and boxes are made to be 100% stored.

Peter Lam: the name sounds vaguely Teutonic, but in reality the designer was born and operates in Hong Kong. In addition to creating collections under the name of his own company, Peter Lam is a manufacture that works on behalf of third parties.

Gold and good feelings for Gumuchian’s jewelry

Published on March 19, 2022

Rings/Showroom/COLLANE

Three women of Armenian origin: Anita Gumuchian and her daughters Myriam and Patricia. It was they who continued the centenary history of the family in jewelry. Jewelry designed by women for women, they emphasize. And they do it in the center of Manhattan, New York. Diamonds and colored gems are the ingredients behind the Maison, which has the family name, Gumuchian.

Those of the Maison are all high quality jewels, in platinum or yellow, white and pink with 18 carats. The shape of the jewels, without being extravagant, is a mix of modern styles from which occasionally some oriental allusion emerges. Gumuchian also offers important pieces, such as earrings with emeralds or the ring with a large cabochon sapphire in the center. Furthermore, two collections are linked to philanthropic objectives. The first is dedicated to the protection of bees, insects that are fundamental for natural balance: the jewels use the hexagonal shape of the cells in the hives. The second also serves to finance the cardiology department of the Columbia Medical Center: it is no coincidence that the collection is called Tiny Hearts.

Bluemarine Fine Jewelry is born

Published on March 17, 2022

Showroom

Anello in oro rosa 18 carati, zaffiri rosa e diamanti

After rebirth, a new life. Which also passes through the world of jewelry. The strategy of Marco Marchi, founder of the fashion holding Eccellenze Italiane and owner since November 2019 of the Bluemarine brand is clear. Rehabilitate the company, including through a painful restructuring, to relaunch it also by expanding its field of action. Objective (war and geopolitical jolts permitting): to get the Eccellenze Italiane listed on the Stock Exchange. In this context, the announcement of the birth of Blumarine Fine Jewelry should be read, in synergy with Bruno Nardelli, CEO of Liu Jo (another brand of the group). In 2008 Nardelli had started to produce Liu Jo branded watches and jewels under license.

For the first time in its history, Blumarine enters the world of jewelry with a project that will land for the first time in international markets where the brand is particularly appreciated, such as the United States and the Middle East.
Marco Marchi

Bluemarine was bought by Marchi two years ago, after a period of crisis, sold by the founder Anna Molinari. Marco Marchi founded Liu Jo in 1995 in Carpi (Italy), the historic knitwear district. Blumarine Fine Jewelry is, therefore, a license developed within the group by the company. The first collection, presented on the occasion of Vicenzaoro, has butterflies as its subject. It includes 18k gold jewelry, natural black and white diamonds, pink sapphires and emeralds. It is therefore placed in a medium-high range.

This collection expresses the values of an iconic Made in Italy brand like Blumarine. It will be distributed in international markets from September 2022 and in Italy from 2023.

Lizzie Mandler says she has been involved in jewelry since she was 16 years old. A passion she hasn’t lost, so much so that she has turned her passion into a profession. She works in Los Angeles, but before founding the Maison that has her name he studied goldsmithery for six years, also in Florence. In 2012, finally, she opened a shop.

Liza has it in her blood: her mother, Marisa Mandler, is an established American painter. Liza, on the other hand, applied her creativity to the world of jewelry: she chose a simple but refined style. Very precise shapes, starting from the study of a simple chain, but interpreted in her own way. The individual rings are tapered on the edges: an effect that makes even the largest chains lighter. The jewels are made in the three classic gold colors: yellow, pink or white, with the prevalence of the first. Furthermore, rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces use small diamonds often cut into baguettes (but not only), to integrate into the rigorous design of the jewels.

Oberig, the jewels of Kiev that ended up under the bombs

Bracciale in oro bianco, diamanti bianchi e neri, rubini

The ancient Slavic traditions are transformed into the jewels of Oberig, a Maison based in Kiev. An art that risks being crushed by war ♦ ︎

The war devastated Kiev, with hundreds of deaths. Before the invasion, Oberig Jewelry was active in the capital city of Ukraine, which two years ago made itself known with a participation in GemGèneve. It is difficult to know now if the company and its artisans and designers survived it. For ten years the Maison has created jewelry using only the highest quality gemstones and 18K gold. High quality, but also roots sunk in the soil of the Slavic tradition: the jewels are made with a spirit that absorbs the ancient aspirations of that land, the decorations of folk art that Oberig transfers on the jewels with the use of pavé diamonds and stones precious.

They are jewels that the Maison has associated with talismans, the first objects worn by humans. Symbols that are repeated and that, even if they are no longer worn with the intent of driving away evil spirits, retain their authenticity. This Ukrainian jewelry also underlines it: it is not important to believe in the function for which the symbols were created. If the Oberig Jewelry designers and artisans survive the war, maybe we will be able to see their work again, but it won’t be easy.

GemGèneve is preparing to shine again with new and vintage jewels, precious stones and events related to the exhibition that will take place from 5 to 8 May at the Palexpo in the Swiss city. In fact, as the epidemic fades, even the jewelry fairs have resumed their usual format. The last GemGèneve event was last October, with 120 exhibitors from over 15 countries. The proposed mix is particularly stimulating because it combines young designers with ancient and consolidated Maison, precious stone dealers and jewelry boutiques of the past. In short, past and present, avant-garde and tradition in the same pavilion at the Geneva fair. The Design Nursery, for example, curated by Vivienne Becker, presents the creations of a group of independent jewelry designers from all over the world. And, with past editions, it has helped launch the careers of some young, now established designers.

In addition to the various booths dedicated to business, as always GemGèneve also includes a series of initiatives, such as the Flair project curated by Katerina Perez, which consists of an online gallery and an independent community of multimedia artists who create unique objects and works, inspired by jewels and precious stones. The Emerging Talents area, on the other hand, is dedicated to the new generations of designers, with a special exhibition space.

GemGenève’s collaboration with various art schools, jewelry and other educational institutions related to this professional sector also continues, testifying to the fundamental desire of the event to ensure that passion is passed down from generation to generation. The event agenda also includes conferences and seminars, as in past editions. There is also room for the art of Estelle Lagarde, a talented jewelry painter, who will present her most beautiful Prestige Jewelery tempera in a live demonstration.

Michael Kneebone, the jewels of the desert

From the California desert to Coachella’s atmospheres: the jewels of Michael Kneebone ♦ ︎
Withdraw to live in the desert, to draw jewels and (presumably) count the cacti from the window. This is what Michael Kneebone did, who together with his partner, interior designer Herbert Smalley, left Illinois to take refuge in El Paseo, California, not far from the Coachella Valley, where the famous festival takes place. The city is located in the Palm Desert, which in reality is not too desert, but a popular tourist destination.

Michael Kneebone designs jewels that are sold in his laboratory, or can be bought online. They are traditional jewels, unique pieces often with large stones, sometimes even sold to finance non-profit organizations.
Michael Kneebone’s career began in 1970 with a jewelery course in Deerfield, Illinois. An apprenticeship with the designer Harriet Dreisiger followed. The jeweler has therefore founded his brand, Michael K. Jewels, with a style that finds its proper place in the Californian atmosphere of Coachella and surroundings, but also well introduced in the high Californian society. Gold, but also semi-precious stones like citrines, amethysts and opals are flanked by emeralds, sapphires.
