The colorful, bright and modern jewels of Nam Cho, designer from New York ♦ ︎

In Tibetan Buddhism Nam Cho translates as sky / space dharma, a cycle of practices that is particularly popular in that spiritual discipline. But if you are interested in jewelry, Nam Cho is also the name of a designer based in New York. If you expect the usual, typical curriculum (study by designer, gemology with a diploma at Gia), you will be surprised; none of this: he studied violin, classical music and fine arts. After graduating from the Parsons School of Design, she designed clothing for some fashion brands, also in New York.

Then, from prêt-à-porter fashion, she moved on to accessories and accessories to jewelry. Finally, she decided to open his own business, with great success. Her jewels are modern, but not bizarre, luminous without being dazzling, colorful but not gaudy. Features that have put the Nam Cho brand in the choices of some large online market places.

New York-style Art Deco jewelry of rising designer Doryn Wallach, with her novelties ♦

Doryn Wallach was recently named Emerging Designer of 2016 by Centurion Jewelry and entered among the “rising stars” chosen by Jck in Las Vegas. And in 2017 she made his debut at Couture. And to say that she had specialized as an interior designer. Houses, apartments, furniture were his first interest: she, in fact, studied interior design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.

Then, he discovered the jewelry. In any case, his first interest transpires on the type of style that Doryn chose: geometric, with a stated preference for the art deco. Almost as necklaces, bracelets and rings were small luxury furnishings to wear. One way of interpreting the decidedly modern jewelry. She lives and works in New York and as a newyorker she is attracted by the atmosphere of his city, full of contrasts: perhaps this is why in his jewels are intersecting lines, unusual stones, with amazing texture. She use, for example, gold satin with a white or black diamond, onyx, agate, turquoise, red coral, pearls, sapphires and emeralds, but strictly separated into different jewelry.

Is it worth investing in jewelry? According to Credit Suisse …

Is it worth investing in luxury? How much does an investment in jewelry make? Is it a good idea to buy vintage jewelry? The answer is an analysis conducted by one of the main Swiss banks, Credit Suisse. The credit institution’s research department has examined the luxury sector, such as that of jewelry, along with art, wines and collectible cars. The total value of these collectibles has been estimated at around $ 1 trillion. Result: the purchase of jewelry is in second place, immediately after the investment in art, and represents about 5 billion dollars in sales volumes.

According to the Credit Suisse Wealth Report 2020, 44% of the very wealthy buy paintings and jewels, who devote 2-5% of their assets to collectibles. But 31% do even more and spend over 5%. Only 13% of the wealthy are not in the habit of buying collectible luxury goods. The most passionate about this kind of investment are the Americans, followed by the Asian millionaires. In the luxury landscape, jewelry and watches are stable. But this does not mean that the performance over time has been excellent.

How much does it make to invest in jewelry

Credit Suisse has also calculated the return on investment in jewelry (of course this is an average) over the last ten years. Result: the vintage jewels, produced from 1945 to 1975 had an annual yield of 4.8%. The art deco ones and pearls have increased in value by 5% per year, and wristwatches have done a little better, with an increase in value of 5.5%. On the other hand, the pocket watch market, outdated, with only 1.5% annual return is sluggish.

Another positive aspect of investing in jewelry, again according to the Credit Suisse Wealth Report, concerns volatility. This term indicates the price fluctuations (always on average) for a given asset. The higher the volatility, the greater the fluctuation in the value of a jewel, for better or for worse. The jewels, among all the luxury goods examined, are those that have the lowest volatility. In short, they are the ones that keep their value most constant. For example, while for impressionist art the volatility is 19.1%, for jewels from 1945 to 1975 it is only 2.4%. Or, if contemporary art has a volatility of 35.3%, art deco jewels and pearls always have a fluctuation contained at 2.4%. Provided, of course, that you choose what you buy well, as we have explained here.

How to avoid theft of your jewelry when you are on the road

Traveling with jewels: 10 ideas how to avoid theft of your rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets … ♦ ︎

All women want to take some jewelry with them when they travel. It can be a simple wedding ring, maybe a pair of earrings, a necklace. Or, perhaps, many others: on the other hand, when you are on vacation, you also want to spend some fun evening, in which to show off the best, isn’t it? But there is a problem: you risk that somebody steals your jewelry.

Read also: Traveling jewels: 10 tips

Trains, airports, cars, hotels, holiday homes that are not too protected: there are many opportunities that can favor a theft. But, fortunately, you can avoid the danger if you follow any suggestions.

Plane. Never embark the jewels with the baggage placed in the hold of the airplane: unfortunately, the theft of the contents of the suitcases happens more frequently than you think. Put the jewels in your hand luggage, and if you store it in the overhead hatbox, keep an eye on it.

Car. It seems trivial, but there are those who abandon jewels in cars, obviously in a suitcase, to go and drink a cappuccino or to satisfy their hygienic needs. It is precisely the unattended cars of those who are traveling to be prey to thieves. If you are traveling keep the jewelry in a small backpack that you can close well and take it with you when you exit the car.

Hotel. Thefts in hotel rooms are frequent. Read the sign that is often found in hotel facilities: “The management is not responsible for the loss or theft of objects left unattended”. In some countries, however, the law provides for compensation formulas. In Italy, for example, if someone steals a jewel in your hotel room, you are entitled to compensation that covers the value up to a maximum limit of 100 times the rate you paid for the room. In short: multiply by 100 what you paid for the room it is the maximum you can get as compensation. Of course you must prove that you have brought the jewels with you and that they have actually been stolen. If, instead, you entrust the jewels directly to the hotel, which will keep them in your safe, you will be safe. And, in the event of theft, you can get full compensation for their value.

Ship. If you have decided to give yourself a cruise you will less risk: it is more difficult for a thief to be able to steal your jewelry. Difficult, but not impossible. Also in this case, as in a hotel, it is safer to entrust your valuables to the custody of the company: on board, there is always safe for this very reason.

Clothing. Needless to hide the dangers: not all the places you visit are safe in the same way. And tourists are always the favorite prey for a robbery. If you find yourself walking on the street, avoid displaying your jewelry like in a fashion show. Hide the necklace under the shirt or dress, do not wear eye-catching rings or earrings that attract attention. Reserve your jewels to the spectators who can admire them, not to those who can steal them from you.

street — Ostentare gioielli in strada può attirare l’attenzione dei ladri

Beach. The sea is a friend of women, the sand is an enemy of jewels. Hands up who doesn’t know some woman who has lost a ring or a pair of earrings in the sand. Do not bring precious jewels to the beach if you do not also have those who can keep them, perhaps entrusting them to the manager of the structure, if you are in a paid area and organized. Also, avoid leaving them in your bag when you go swimming. By the way, sea water is not good for jewelry.

Read also: Sea and jewels: here’s what to do

Pack. A good idea, if you have to carry a jewel from one place to another, is to pack it with something unattractive, such as a newspaper. It’s hard to imagine that a ring or a pair of earrings is hidden inside that package. Furthermore, the card will prevent the jewels from being scratched during transport.

Theft Protection. Well, maybe you don’t know, but there are also portable anti-theft systems. For example, a battery-powered alarm with a 110-decibel siren. Its operation is simple: it has a plastic tab inserted in the slot on the device, which disables the acoustic alarm. The siren is activated when, following a tear, for example, a snatch, the tongue comes out of the slot. It can be used to protect against theft of bags, briefcases, luggage.

Social networks. Does anyone still doesn’t use Facebook, Instagram or other social networks? Maybe. But if you use social networks remember not to give directions while you are traveling. But this time for not to have thieves in your home.

The interesting summer of Merci Maman

Published on July 10, 2021

COLLANE/bracciale/Showroom

La collana Duchessa, ispirata a quella indossata da Kate Middleton

The idea is original: a summer campaign starring a future mother who is part of the team. The Merci Maman campaign aims to convey vitality and optimism for a new life to come and to celebrate a long-awaited summer. The collection, also sold online, is very simple and includes the popular double ring on the flat bracelet and the pearl necklace. Merci Maman is a brand founded in 2007 by Béatrice de Montille, who created her first bracelet in 2007 on her kitchen table in Fulham, London. The brand’s jewels are addressed, in particular to the world of the family, with pendants bearing names and special dates.

From the first bracelet, and with the help of her husband Arnaud, the company expanded to include a team of 45 people, including the protagonist of the summer campaign, who work in London, Paris and Berlin. The brand became even more popular when Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was spotted in 2014 wearing a Merci Maman necklace that her sister Pippa had given her after Prince George was born. The pendants were hand engraved with Prince George’s name, date of birth and a small charm with Prince William’s initial. The pieces are plated in 18-karat gold or in sterling silver, with prices starting from 39 euros up to 179 euros. However, there is also a collection in pure 18-karat gold with prices ranging from 390 to 890 euros.

Lisa Nik story

Lisa Nik, jewels, stones and a bit of Italy behind the history of the brand ♦ ︎

Lisa Nik is a New York fine jewelry brand. But it was also born thanks to a pinch of Italy. Founding the company in 2009 was Lisa Nikfarjam. Graduated in economics, Italian and French at Pepperdine University, California, she moved to New York for a master’s degree in management. But, obviously, her interest was on jewelry: after following the canonic gemology course at Gia (Gemological Institute of America), in 1998 she was cast as executive vice president of Roberto Coin. For the Italian jeweler she worked as a manager from January 1998 to February 2009, 11 years and two months. Just enough time to learn all the secrets of the craft and think it’s time to try it alone. And so it was.

The collections are made of 18 carat gold, colored stones, silver and diamonds. The Colors collection uses vibrant colored stones to create an emotional response. Rocks uses the heat of colored stones to enhance the setting of jewelery. There is no extravagance, but innovation in tradition. But it would be trivial to say that the idea is the result of its previous experience.

The blow of design for Adel Chefridi

The jewels by Adel Chefridi, from Tunis to New York City ♦ ︎

Jewelers are born in Tunis too. This is the case of Adel Chefridi, who fell in love with jewelry as a child, as he says, in what is a city with an ancient history, which starts from the Carthaginians. A mix of cultures, such as Roman, Byzantine, Andalusian, Jewish, Ottoman, Islamic and French, which also influenced the style of Adel Chefriti, who left Tunisia and the mysterious glimpses of the Sahara, settled in the USA in 1998, in New York, although he now works in the nearby town of Rhinebeck. One of the distinctive elements of his design is engraving, one of the first techniques historically adopted to make jewelry.

As often happens, the culture and taste of those who move to another country creates a hybrid between tradition and the aesthetics of the place of arrival. The designer attended Gia to study gemology, specialized in goldsmithing and diamond setting, but he is also self-taught. In addition, he went to India to look for gems to setting them on gold and silver. The result of all this process included, also, participation in the Couture in Las Vegas, the most exclusive stage in the USA, where the most refined Maisons meet. After all, the Sahara and the Nevada desert have some aspects in common. His last jewelry production it’s Secret Garden collection.

Noor Fares, a refined jewelry designer, married the artist and businessman Alexandre Al Khawam in 2015, with whom she had a child. She lives in Belgravia, an exclusive district of London. Not only. She comes from a wealthy family: her father is Issam Michael Fares, a Lebanese businessman, former member of parliament and deputy prime minister of Lebanon. Noor’s happy life also includes a childhood in Paris, studies of art history in Boston and gemology in London, where he earned a master’s degree in jewelry design from Central Saint Martins with a thesis focused on the importance of fiction in jewelry.

A lucky story, which is hardly the result of the subsequent series of evil eye necklaces made by her Maison. The Lebanese designer is more linked to the symbols of the Indian tradition, with jewels that are inspired by the symbols of the chakras or ancient designs related to meditation. The transparencies of the stones, the geometries with oriental motifs, the references to a spiritual and magical dimension are her guides in the composition of her collections.

Gil Zohar’s Babylon Jewels

The icons of ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon revive in the jewels of the designer Gil Zohar ♦ ︎

The Bible tells of how in ancient times the Jews fled from Egypt, chased by Pharaoh’s army and led by Moses. But pyramids and sphinxes do not arouse distrust in Gil Zohar, a designer from Tel Aviv who took the style of the ancient Egyptian civilization together with the Babylonian one for his jewels. Her story about her is unusual: she has a degree in Business Administration and History of Art, Criticism and Conservation. You worked as a journalist and stylist in the capital of Israel. But she was dissatisfied. In 2016, while she was making a jewel for herself for fun, the designer became aware of her passion for ancient Egypt and ancient Mesopotamian civilizations.

She added the two passions: the goldsmith’s art and the world of the pharaohs. The result is the small Maison that has her name and that, of course, produces jewels with icons that appear on hieroglyphics, such as sphinxes, bulls and deer. The jewels, undoubtedly original, are in 24-carat gold plated silver and with 4 microns of the thickness (more than most of the platings). Prices start at around one thousand dollars to go up to 3,000. If you too love the world of ancient Egypt, moreover, Gil Zohar also offers statues of about 50 centimeters on the same theme, but in plated bronze. Just like those deprecated by Moses.

Atelier Zobel’s art jewels

Peter Schmid. A very common name in Germany. But the skills of Peter Schmid who lives and works in Costanza, a town overlooking the lake in the south of the country, are by no means common. Peter Schmid is an artist and a goldsmith, who relaunched Atelier Zobel. His jewels are creative and small works of art, different from all the others. And he did not become an artist who works with gold and precious stones from a family inheritance: he was born in a rural area in Ostrach, where his father had a lumber yard.

Spilla in oro, argento, acquamarina intagliata, diamanti — Brooch in gold, silver, carved aquamarine, diamonds

But Peter’s curiosity and vivacity pushed him further. He started studying economics. But reading, travel, culture, art pushed him to study goldsmithing. After a brief experience in the Atelier Zobel he decided to specialize at the Vocational College of Design, Jewelry and Tools in Schwäbisch Gmünd. A scholarship then led him to the Escuela Masana in Barcelona.

Apilla in argento sterling, oro 24 e 22 caeati, ambra, diamante taglio pincess, diamanti grezzi — Brooch in sterling silver, 24 and 22 carat gold, amber, pincess-cut diamond, rough diamonds

Schmid then returned to Constance, where he worked for Atelier Zobel for 11 years, before taking over the studio in 2005. In his laboratory-studio, together with his team, the jeweler-artist loves to carefully evaluate stones, a source of inspiration for their history, as well as their quality. He starts from stones, in fact, to create unique pieces that are also objects of collection, as well as jewels to wear. The jewels thus take on imaginative, irregular and certainly original aspects. To do this, he combined metals in new ways, with a refined technique of goldsmithing and welding.

24 karat gold jewelry as an investment with Generation

Published on June 26, 2021

Showroom

The story of Generation Collection, a brand of Generation Investment Jewelry, is a surprising story. Let’s face it right away: if for you buying a jewel also means investing in an object of value, this is the story for you. Because Generation aims to do just that: to produce 24-karat gold jewelry, which is an investment that is considered safe in the long term. Generation uses recycled gold which saves 99% of the environmental impact and, above all, 24 karat. That is, pure gold such as that of ingots (usually 18-karat gold is used for jewelry, which is an alloy with other metals). Pure gold jewelry is considered by Generation to be a solid investment for women, who can easily sell the jewelry in case of need. It must be added, however, that gold does not necessarily mean that it will certainly increase in price, even though it may be so in the long run.

Anello esagonale unisex in oro 24 carati

There is another surprising aspect, which caresses the so-called American dream. It all starts in a small Bulgarian town and ends in Nevada, on the border with California. Boryana Straubel, raised by a single mother in Bulgaria, was educated for hard work. She graduated from high school in 2000. And as a gift, her mother gave her a 30-gram 24-karat gold necklace. Giving gold to a child in Bulgaria is equivalent to opening an investment account. At that time, Boryana recounts in her bio about her, the price of gold was $ 280 an ounce. But 20 years later, that same necklace is worth 580% more. In short, the investment was excellent.

But this is a consideration that many can make. The difference lies in Boryana Straubel’s abilities: in addition to Bulgaria, she lived in Germany, Austria and Russia, up to the United States, where she earned a degree in Economics from UC Berkeley, a degree in Management (Sloan) and one in Industrial Engineering (MS&E) from Stanford University. Then, she spent over a decade at Tesla and the Wikimedia Foundation. She is an analytics and operations expert, she has led key functions such as People & Business Analytics, Systems, Operation and M & A Integration, she sits on the board of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association. In short, she is a decidedly uncommon type.

Other pedigreed senior managers work alongside Boryana Straubel, such as Ian McMilan, who led key Olympic teams for Nike and Nike Retail’s global strategic teams. Prior to Nike, he was at PwC and also co-founded a management company that ran global marketing campaigns for brands including Gucci, Chanel, Prada, MAC Cosmetics, Sephora and Miu Miu, studied Economics at Princeton University , and holds an honors degree in Accounting from the University of Washington and an MS in Management from Stanford.

There are also Alessandra Jekova twice finalist at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014 and Korea 2018, with 17 FIS Snowboard World Cup Tour titles: she has been among the top 10 women for over a decade. But, above all, she holds degrees in Sports Management, ambassador for brands such as Tag Heuer, Audi, Re / Mind, Burton, Avon, Bioderma and Moroccanoil. Finally, designer Erica Bello and marketing manager Julie Middleton also work on Generation.

The world of jewelry has set out on the green road, at least in words. But there are those who have encouraged environmental sustainability for years, to the point of making it a distinctive feature. This is the case of Jennifer Dawes, a designer who works in Sonoma County, California. Jennifer has always been a supporter of nature and ecological balance. A concept that she reiterates now with the Kingdom collection. The kingdom you allude to is that of animals, from the butterfly brooch made with watermelon tourmaline to compose the wings, to bees with rutilated quartz bodies.

The butterfly, among other things, has a symbolic meaning because a species has been included among the endangered species in the California area, news that upset the designer, so much so that it took action to protect the insect. Another feature that concerns the collection is the presence of pieces with moving parts. The butterfly, for example, can move its wings. They are almost all unique pieces, except for the dragonfly and the lucky eye, which can be produced in different copies.

The myth of Gaya colors Paris

Anello in oro, diamanti e crisocolla arcobaleno

In Greek mythology Gaia is the personification of the Earth. In Paris Gaya by Garnazelle is inspired by that myth. The founder, Céline Rivet, defines herself as free, wild and radiant, as well as a lover of nature and her balance. Before Gaya, Céline founded the Garnazelle brand, a name that derives from Solarnazelle, which in the dialect of the Sologne area (central France) indicates a particularly widespread frog. And Solarnazelle is the designer’s nickname. But, of course, the designer is also in love with jewelry. However, she began her career by working for a diamond dealer, a very useful experience for her later profession.

Collana con oro giallo e corallo inciso, opale, rubellite, turchese, tormalina, corniola, giada verde, lapislazzuli

The Gaya by Garnazelle brand was launched in 2017, with romantic, bohemian and colorful collections. The jewels are made exclusively in 18K gold, designed in France and produced in Europe. In addition to diamonds, Gaya uses a vast repertoire of stones, such as opal, rubellite, blue and green turquoise, tourmaline, carnelian, jade, lapis lazuli. Stones that come from the “most environmentally friendly mines” and, for diamonds, with the guarantee of the Kimberley Process (responsible sourcing and anti-corruption laws).

Baselworld returns in 2022. But will be different

Published on June 23, 2021

news

La cupola aperta che sovrasta la piazza che unisce i padiglioni della Fiera di Basilea

Baselworld is back. The largest jewelry and watch fair, however, will be different. How different? The point is precisely this: there are still, inevitably, many undefined aspects, as explained in an online meeting Michel Loris-Melikoff, CEO of the event, which is managed by the Swiss company Mch.

The last edition of Baselworld was that of 2019. But it was a smaller-scale event than in the past, after a long series of goodbyes by the big brands. The reason? Above all, the costs that have now become unsustainable: for a company, the presence at Baselworld could mean an expense of over 1 million euros, as the manager himself admitted. To the exorbitant costs has been added a lot of competition and, above all, the spread of communication via the internet. Ok, it is not the same as having direct contact with the manufacturer or viewing the object. But it facilitates contacts and, above all, it costs almost nothing. Above all, a physical space at the fair can now be obtained for about 20 thousand euros/dollars, which goes down to 5 thousand to participate in the digital platform alone.

Reasons that led Baselworld to a deep reflection, which has also lengthened due to the covid. So much so that at some point Mch had decided to eliminate the Baselworld brand altogether. Fortunately, the decision was changed. Now the fair returns. When? Between 31 March and 4 April 2022: but essentially there is still an agreement with Watches and Wonders, as it is now called Fhh, an event held in Geneva and reserved for haute horlogerie. The idea is to coordinate the two events, as was already planned for 2020. The uncertainty also testifies to how long and tiring the work of convincing companies to return to Baselworld will be long and tiring. According to Loris-Melikoff, the new Baselworld will primarily be a B2B platform in the mid-range luxury segment. A concept that profoundly changes the philosophy followed up to here, which favored brands such as Chopard, Rolex or Bulgari. All companies that have decided to leave the event in the Swiss city.

As explained, the future concept combines market trends of experience marketing with the needs of the entire community in the middle and upper segment of the watch, jewelry and gemstone industry.

After the coronavirus pandemic has stalled Baselworld in the past two years, we have taken a long time to speak with our partners and exhibitors. One thing has become very clear: the brand must remain, but it must radically change.
Michel Loris-Melikoff

Baselworld 2019. Copyright: gioiellis.com

The intention is that the new Baselworld will be less glamorous and more of a platform on which small watch and jewelry manufacturers and gemstone dealers will be able to showcase their products and retailers will have efficient and easy access to diversity of manufacturers. Not only that: it will also become a digital platform, complemented by live events, which will be available to the jewelery, watch and gem industry 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, around the world.

Il talk show di apertura di Baselworld 2019

The digital platform will be launched in the autumn, and is expected to be a forum for exchange between all relevant representatives of industry, the public and the media at Baselworld 2022.

Collana Serpente d - Jar in oro, argento, ametiste, zaffiri, diamanti

Men and beasts. Or, rather, creatures that are part of the world of nature. And jewelry. Animals are at the center of an exhibition in New York called Beautiful Creatures, which brings together some of the most spectacular jewels inspired by the world of animals. The exhibition is organized at Melissa and Keith Meister Gallery within the American Museum of Natural History. Over one hundred precious jewels created by the greatest jewelry houses have been selected, from the iconic panthers of Cartier to the butterflies of Suzanne Belperron. With rather rare pieces, such as the necklace by the American designer Joel Arthur Rosenthal, better known as Jar: the one on display, one of the few made by the legendary jeweler, is from 1990 and is made with precious and semiprecious stones and with pavé diamonds set in silver and gold. The selected jewels have been crafted over the past 150 years, in line with the museum’s recent 150th anniversary celebration.

The selected jewels exclude pets, while they include those somehow present in some corner of the museum. There are many great Maison present, from Bulgari to Van Cleef & Arpels, as well as contemporary designers such as Bina Goenka. The exhibition, which was actually announced in autumn, but then postponed due to the covid, is present in the new permanent rooms of Allison and Roberto Mignone and is free and to visit it requires health safety measures (i.e. a little distancing ).

Furthermore, in 1925, Jean Fouquet received the award at the Exhibition of Decorative and Industrial Arts, an important event for the Art Deco period. The necklace symbolizes the transition from fine jewelry to sculptural jewelry, juxtaposing geometric shapes. It is made of white gold and silver, with the striated disc of the necklace that evokes the work of the painter Fernand Léger, entitled Les disques de la ville (1918). The stone is an aquamarine.
