Francis Chiu, Thai message

The precious jewels by Francis Chiu, signature of the classic Thai design ♦ ︎
It is no secret that much of the jewelry and high jewelery of large European Houses is made in Thai workshops and factories. The manual skills of the craftsmen of the Asian country, combined with a lower labor cost, has led several brands to rely on the industrious Thai workers. But, apart from producing jewels for third parties, what are they capable of doing? It is worthwhile, as an example of the ability to create jewelry of great value, to look at the work of Francis Chiu.

His professional history began in 1999. When most of the Thai jewelry companies focused on mass jewels, Francis Chiu chose to create an exclusive jewelery brand in Asia, for the most demanding public. Today its jewels are also appreciated in the West and are also sold through international auction houses. They are jewels based on large and considerable precious stones, from rubies to sapphires, to which jade is added. Around these stones, always of great impact, the jewel is built. The style is classic, sometimes with some concession to oriental taste. Margherita Donato

The anti coronavirus jewels




Jewels that are also amulets: for those who believe in luck, in bad luck, in the magical power of a pendant … Maybe also against the coronavirus

Beneficial, propitiatory and therapeutic: amulets and talismans were the first ornaments in human history. And, in fact, the belief that wearing jewels of spiritual or religious motives protects us from negative energy and favors healing also exists, with more or less intensity, always and almost in all cultures: from coral in horn shape that save against the evil, that’s typical of Mediterranean area, until the Fatima hand of Middle East, which drives away evil spirits, or the Asian lotus flower, way for enlightenment, and many others amulets you could go around the world.

In Italy the success of devotional objects such as rosaries, medals and Sacred hearts transformed into bijoux, a real trend is recent. Abroad, designers look above all at the Orient, at the “third eye”, at Buddha and at the chakras. All old symbols but in a modern aesthetic. Is it the symptom of a general lack of ideas, or the need for serenity in a fast-paced world? Who can say it. Meanwhile, here is gallery where to take inspiration to improve your karma.

The rings can also hide the coronavirus

/




Do jewels hide the evil coronavirus? Doctors sound the alarm. And, in fact, it would be enough to reflect: of course, they can constitute a danger, in particular the rings. So you don’t have to wear rings until the health emergency is over? The answer is no, but …

Lavare spesso le mani
Lavare spesso le mani

The alarm involving jewelry comes from the United States. Rochelle Walensky, head of the infectious diseases division at Massachusetts General Hospital, wrote an email, published by the Usa Today newspaper. “In a situation in which we are, with extraordinary measures to limit the Covid-19 transmission, I think the removal of jewelry rings when washing hands is a wise step forward,” he said. Watches are also part of objects that can come into contact with the virus and become dangerous vehicles of infection.

But there is no need to avoid wearing rings or watches, as long as you often wash your hands scrupulously. And, while we’re at it, you can take the opportunity to also clean the jewels, starting with the rings (on gioiellis.com you will find many tips on how to proceed in the section Da sapere).

Pulizia di una collana di perle

According to Walensky, in fact, studies on coronavirus have shown that germs can live between the skin of the finger and the metal of the rings for some time, even if there is no reliable data on how long the germs can resist in that condition. Another expert questioned by the newspaper, Nikita Desai, a pneumologist at the Cleveland Clinic, reiterates: “When health workers prepare to activate procedures in sterile conditions, such as surgery, the hands must be washed and without rings, watches and jewelry. This significantly reduces the risk of spreading the disease, thanks to the cleanest hands possible.” According to Desai, viable viruses were detected up to four hours after exposure on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to 2-3 days days on plastic and stainless steel, in short, clean hands and jewels.

Coronavirus, Recarlo’s donation to two hospitals




Coronavirus has affected people and the economy. And many companies have decided to give a concrete sign of solidarity. In Italy, Recarlo, specialized in diamond jewelry, has thus decided to support a significant donation shared between the Luigi Sacco Hospital in Milan and the Civil Hospital Ss. Antonio e Biagio and Cesare Arrigo in Alessandria, with the aim of creating new intensive care units, beds with pulmonary ventilator, monitor and everything necessary to assist those who need it most.

The choice to support the Sacco Hospital responds to the desire to make a contribution to Milan which is facing a real emergency bed. But we want to be present in a concrete way also at a more local level, in our district, with a donation to the Hospital of Alessandria, which is a fundamental point of reference for the whole province and which, thanks to the support of companies in the area, can increase its strength and give an ever greater response to the infected population. We hope that this gesture can also be an example for other companies in our sector. We are confident that by staying united we will be able to face this emergency, overcoming it and coming out better than before, ready to start again with the Made in Italy that distinguishes our country.

In the geometric garden of Annoushka Ducas

//




Annoushka Ducas studied at the Sorbonne, lived in Hong Kong, and moved to London. But now he has chosen to live in the garden. Not in a real sense, but ideal. Indeed, the designer launched the Garden Party collection. In fact, the British passion for gardening and greenery is known. But, in this case, the garden that inspired Annoushka Ducas is rather the one in Italian or French style. In short, those gardens that have hedges and shrubs cut with geometric shapes. And it’s also the designer’s home garden in Sussex.

The jewels are made of 18 carat gold, with diamonds and black rhodium lines that make the volume of the jewels even more geometric. For example, with earrings that take the form of ornamental trees, pendants of different sizes that can be worn on a traditional 18-karat gold chain or combined with the torque necklace inspired by the seventies. There is also a cocktail ring (limited edition) which represents a micro labyrinth framed by diamonds and golden beads.

The V by Laura Vann earrings worn by Meghan Markle immediately sold out

//





In ancient times there was King Midas, who transformed everything he touched into gold, while today Meghan Markle transforms the gold he touches into successful jewels. Or rather, the jewelry he wears. British newspapers report on the umpteenth miracle performed by the Duchess of Sussex before her self-exile in Canada.

The British jewelry brand V by Laura Vann, in fact, has seen an increase in business since Meghan Markle wore a pair of earrings during one of his last events in the land of His Majesty. Yes, she is a true influencer (not like many others who have followers but, in reality, they count for nothing).

In fact, the Duchess was spotted with a pair of Daphne earrings, made with synthetic emeralds and black agate, in the distinctive style of the brand, which is inspired by art deco. Proposed in autumn 2017, the earrings seem to be in perfect harmony with Meghan’s choices. Too much, in a way: the earrings were sold out in a few days.

Italian goldsmiths ask to suspend taxes due to coronavirus





In Italy the coronavirus also bites the jewelry sector. Many jewelers who have decided to close. Federpreziosi, the National Federation of Goldsmiths, Jewelers, Silversmiths and Watchmakers of Confcommercio, therefore calls for measures to deal with the situation. The first concerns the suspension of Irpef (tax), Inps (welfare) and Inail (accident insurance) payments. The measure is also the result of an online questionnaire proposed by Federpreziosi last Friday 7 March to 500 operators in the sector (83% retail companies, 8.5% manufacturing companies, 8.5% wholesalers).

Quanto calano le vendite
Quanto calano le vendite

In fact, among those identified in contrast to the economic damage of coronavirus, this is the first measure deemed indispensable by about 71% of the sample of Italian goldsmith operators who participated in the survey. The following are considered fundamental (59.9%) for the allocation of extraordinary contributions for business support, the extension of the payment of local taxes for all territories and all categories (58.2%), concessions for to favor corporate liquidity and a moratorium for the next installments on loans and leases (53.7%).

52.5% believe that the declaration of a state of disaster for the whole country and for all sectors and the consequent extension of the measures to support the red zones to the whole territory is almost inevitable. At the same time, a strong push to trade and to the image of Italy in the world is deemed necessary, with initiatives for the national and international promotion of Made in Italy (44.7%). Other measures considered more than opportune are: the establishment of an integration fund and a derogation fund also for micro and small enterprises in the service sector (36.4%) and the abolition of the limits introduced by the Financial Law of 30 December 2019 for the access and / or permanence in the flat-rate tax regime and restore previous requirements (25.3%).

The new Art Deco by Roberto Coin

//





Art deco is one of the styles most used by jewelers, as evidenced by the historic collection of Roberto Coin. Perhaps not everyone knows that the name is a synthesis of Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes, an event which was held in Paris in 1925 and which gave birth to this style that enhances geometric shapes. A fashion that, in particular, was in vogue in America until 1940. And that left deep traces in the world of jewelry.

Launched a few years ago with a good reception from the public, the Roberto Coin Art Deco collection has continued to renew that style made of zigzag lines, wide curves, pointed corners and soft tassels. The latest pieces have only been presented recently, but more or less every year the Venetian Maison adds some novelties. These are rings that do not go unnoticed, with tassels and inserts of black jade, malachite, mother of pearl and diamonds. Last year rings, earrings and pendants were added with diamonds and malachite or fossil coral: an unusual material, which presents on the surface like small inflorescences. Art Deco, in short, but completely original.

A springtime Liaison for Giorgio Visconti

//





What kind is a relationship if it’s not a liasison, which Giorgio Visconti interprets now with a line of jewels? The French word, which indicates a bond, is often used to describe that special union between two people. The Liaison line of the Italian jeweler, after all, is also a stylistic link with the history of the Maison of Valenza. The jewels, in fact, are completely faithful to the usual style of Giorgio Visconti.

The precious weave of Bottega Veneta

Although it is best known for its fashion and leather goods collections, Bottega Veneta, like other fashion brands, also offers jewelry. Of course, it is a luxury brand and luxury you must paid for got it. In short, jewels cost beyond what is the material used, in short, just as happens for clothes and accessories. The Bottega Veneta jewels, in fact, are largely made of gold-plated sterling silver, but they cost more or less as if they were only made of yellow metal.

But, precisely, it is the charm of Bottega Veneta, an Italian company renowned for its leather products, which owns a famous atelier located in an eighteenth-century villa in Montebello Vicentino, is based in Lugano, Switzerland, and offices in Milan and Vicenza. Acquired in 2001 by the Gucci Group, today the Maison is part of the French multinational Kering. But it is due to the creative director Tomas Maier, about twenty years ago, to reaffirm the original identity of the brand with the iconic woven motif. Just the same pattern that is found on the jewels with the Bottega Veneta brand.

The rich style and a lot of tradition in the jewelry of the Varda Goelka and her Diagold ♦

India is the country that loves most jewelry. It is logical, then, that has a long tradition. But there are also new brands, as Diagold, that without renouncing of tradition, now offer jewelry high class, with a style that also likes to Western women. In fact, Diagold opened a shop in London. If you go to India, any case, you can go to visit one of the stores (Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi), of this brand, which was founded by a woman, Varda Goenka, about 15 years ago.

It is not about ethnic jewelry: stones and materials go through a selection equal to that of the great Maison West. Just look at the jewels proposed by Diagold to realize immediately that the model that inspired jewelery is classic Italian or French, with an obvious imprint in some eastern parts. All the jewels are still very elaborate, with extensive use of colored stones next to diamonds and pearls, while gold is yellow, the color that is most appreciated by the Indians. This selection of branded jewelery Diagold can give an idea of ​​the style of the brand.

The elaborate jewels of Emeline Piot for Mathon

//





Mathon, Parisian jewelry founded in the seventies by the goldsmith artist Roger Mathon, proposes to another artist, Emeline Piot, to design a collection of jewelry. This is not just any collection, but a series of jewels that are the result of the particularly intense collaboration between Emeline Piot and the artisans of the Atelier Mathon. These are very elaborate jewels, with a style that for some reason recalls art nouveau, but also oriental art. Bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings are certainly different from the usual ones and are also looking for women capable of wearing them: they are not jewelry for everyone.

The themes of inspiration for the jewels are animals and plants, but without any idea of ​​representing natural elements. Rather, they are a rich elaboration of the original subject. The materials used are top quality with a large choice of gems, such as red and orange spinel, black cabochon spinels, Paraíba tourmalines, blue sapphires, GVS diamonds, emeralds.

The impact of the coronavirus on the world of jewelry and gold

/





What impact will coronavirus, aka Covid19, have on the world of jewelry and gold? Try to answer Juan Carlos Artigas, director for Research and Investments of the World Gold Council, association of the main gold mining and trading companies. In essence, the expert traces two scenarios: the most positive one, with an emergency destined to resolve itself in a short time, a few weeks. And a worse scenario, with a coronavirus that breaks down like a scourge even in the western world: this could lead to lower sales of jewelry but, at the same time, to a higher price of gold.

Le cinesi amano il lusso
Le cinesi amano il lusso

At the heart of gold consumption, however, it is inevitable to put the epicenter of the epidemic, China. With a premise: according to Artigas, it is wrong to make a comparison with SARS, another epidemic that hit China between 2002 and 2003. In that case, in fact, the impact on health conditions (number of infected and dead) is was clearly minor.
cin1
Acquirenti cinesi a Baselworld

As for China, for example, it can already be said that the Chinese demand for jewelry has been significantly lower than last year. Also because the Chinese buy jewelry especially in the first and fourth quarter of the year. The decrease in sales is currently around 10-15%. Then there is the reflection on the price of gold, which traditionally goes up when crises of various kinds face the world. Today China, explains the World Gold Council, is the largest gold market, contributing 30% of consumer demand in 2019.

Some of the effects of the coronavirus are already visible from the increase in trading volumes on the Shanghai Gold Exchange, the Chinese gold exchange, which has seen investor purchases. But eventually the potential deceleration in consumer demand could have a more noticeable effect on price than in 2003.
Precauzioni per il coronavirus
Precauzioni per il coronavirus

In summary, due to the coronavirus the demand for gold in the first quarter can drop by at least 10-15%. Whether demand resumes or continues to subside will depend on the duration of the epidemic and its impact on economic growth.

The two scenarios
1 If the situation is resolved relatively quickly and the global impact is contained, the result could be limited to a weaker Chinese demand for gold and a transitory impact on the price.

2 If, however, the epidemic spreads further and continues to influence investor sentiment, global flight flows towards quality, amid concerns of a global slowdown, could have a more sustained (positive) impact on the gold price.

The extraordinary Sicis necklace dedicated to Calipso

//





Calipso, nymph daughter of Atlas, who in the Odyssey welcomes the shipwrecked Odysseus on the island of Ogigia and, in love with him, holds him for seven years, until he receives the order from Zeus to let him leave. A woman undoubtedly fascinating also in the eyes of the Sicis designers, who dedicated some high jewelery pieces to Calipso.

Collana Calipso con 165 perle Akoya e diamanti

As always the jewels of Sicis, Maison based in Ravenna, combine gold and precious stones with a delicate micro mosaic work. The Calipso necklace, furthermore, use 165 special and precious Akoya Light Blue pearls woven in a gold weave, alongside brilliant cut diamonds that intertwine and embrace elements decorated with micromosaic. Hundreds of tiny tiles line up and create designs in shades of sapphire blue and white, sinuous play of color and imperceptible reflections. The necklace, in particular, is a piece of high jewelery and of great value, not only for the difficult processing of the piece, but also for the quantity of Akoya pearls used. Surely Calipso would have liked it too.

Jewels for the Cat’s Day

Jewels dedicated to the Cat’s Day, which is February 17th. For all tastes ♦ ︎
Maybe you do not know, but there’s a Day in February which, for many, is even more important than Valentine’s Day. It is the National Day of the Cat. The day dedicated to the most beloved feline occurs on 17 February. The idea is quite recent: it was born in 1990 thanks to the gattofila journalist Claudia Angeletti through the readers of the Italy magazine Tuttogatto. In the end the proposal by the reader Oriella Del Col was the winner.

Orecchini gatto
Orecchini gatto

The reason for the choice was indicated in the fact that February is the month of the zodiacal sign of Aquarius, ie free spirits, like cats. Furthermore, in the past, February it was defined as “the month of cats and witches”. Regarding the number, 17 in the tradition of some countries, is considered an unfortunate number, an undeserved reputation that in the past was reserved for the cat. And here, then, a selection of jewelry and bijoux gattofili, starting from the earrings of the collection The Circle of Lebole Jewels. But from Bliss to Van Cleef & Arpels the jewels that have the cat as protagonist are really many. Lavinia Andorno

From China with Giamore

//





He was born in Alessandria, Piedmont, and studied in the Italian capital of high jewelry, Valenza, but Danilo Giannoni now is working in Singapore with his Giamore. After studying and making in jewelry, Giannoni discovered that Velenza was too small for his projects. And so he moved to New York, where he opened a service company for major jewelry brands. He collaborated with companies such as Bulgari, Damiani and Crivelli, before moving again, to Hong Kong.

In 2012 he founded two companies: Senso Italiano, dedicated to design and art (which became a second job) and Giamore, for the production of jewelery with a tailor-made service. Finally, he moved to Singapore, where he married: marriage (and children) convinced him to stop in the city-state. Giamore specializes in the research and acquisition of rare stones, especially colorless and colored diamonds, in the production of bespoke or fine jewelry, but in parallel continues the service activity for the big brands, for example to resize the jewelry on Asian customer measurements.

The jewels that shone at the Oscars 2020





The Oscar 2020 prizes were also (virtually) awarded to the jewels seen on the red carpet. In fact, clothes and jewels have always been part of the show of the most glamorous evening. And even the actresses who did not win the magical statuette (by the way: do you know why it is called Oscar? We explain it to you a few lines below) had the satisfaction of parading with memorable jewels.

Let’s start with those signed Tiffany. Charlize Theron showed up on the red carpet in a splendid Tiffany High Jewelry Collection Autumn 2020 necklace: diamonds of D color (the best), internally flawless, for over 21 carats. The necklace sported by Theron has a value of over 5 million dollars and is composed of 165 diamonds. Always by Tiffany rings and earrings.

Amazing necklace, also Tiffany’s, for Gal Gadot, with over 76 total carats of diamonds for 11 carats and valued for over 2 million dollars.

Gadot completed her look with brilliant Tiffany diamond earrings and a Tiffany diamond ring of over 9 carats.

Why it’s named Oscar
By the way: why are the golden statuettes symbolizing the award given by the Academy Award of Merit called Oscar? According to the most accepted theory, the name is a trivial coincidence: it derives from the exclamation of an employee of the Academy, Margaret Herrick, who at the sight of the first statuette exclaimed: “It looks just like my uncle Oscar!”. A name that nobody has taken from it anymore.

A Damiani necklace, instead, for Cho Yeo-Jeong, the Korean actress from Parasite: Oscar winner film 2020.

The jewelry for the year of the Chinese horoscope mouse





Mouse-shaped jewelry for those who follow the Chinese horoscope. Indeed, 2020 is the year of the mouse. According to tradition, whoever was born under the sign of the Mouse, that is after January 25, which marks the Chinese New Year, is witty, kind and versatile. People capable of surprising, above all. Those who came into the world in 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 and, obviously, 2020 were born under the sign of the mouse. Be careful, however, because the zodiac sign should be considered only after the beginning of the year , which falls on variable dates between January and February.

In reality, what in the West is considered to be Chinese New Year is the spring festival or lunar new year and is also celebrated in Korea, Mongolia, Singapore, Malaysia, Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam, Taiwan and Japan. In the East, in fact, a lunisolar calendar is used for this type of festivities: the months begin in conjunction with each new moon. As mentioned, for this reason the starting date of the first month, and of the new year, can vary by about 29 days, between 21 January and 19 February of the western calendar. But that won’t stop you from wearing mouse-inspired jewelry, and especially Mickey Mouse.
