Traveling with Latitude Jewelry

Published on April 13, 2023

The things you like are taken on the fly. In some cases literally. Brazilian designer Gabriela Rodrigues, known as Gabi, founded Latitude Jewelry in 2019, with a link on the fly. Gabriela has a passion for aviation and travel, inherited from her mother Lúcia, who was an air traffic controller. Gabi also became an air traffic controller and worked in the aviation industry for many years, traveling all over the world. When she landed, she thought of a jewelry brand that already from her name recalled the sense of travel: Latitude Jewelry.

The jewels are also linked to the theme, such as the Around The World range, the brand’s symbolic collection, with maps of the globe transformed into jewels. The pendants are made of 18-karat gold and lapis lazuli, turquoise, onyx, white or smoky quartz. In addition to the pendants, the brand offers rings in 18-karat gold and set on an intense blue lapis lazuli or on a transparent quartz. The Greater Love of the World locket is crafted in 18k white gold or 925 sterling silver and features the world carved in contrasting 18k yellow gold on one side and the compass rose motif on the other.

Pendente in oro grigio e black e diamanti della collezione Moon Drops

Raindrops, dewdrops, sea drops. There are many possible drops, but among these there are the jewels of the historic Goccia line by Annamaria Cammilli. But, for 2023, the idea of the Tuscan Maison, which is celebrating its first 40 years, is more surprising, because the drops are no longer liquid, but a direct representation of the Earth’s satellite, i.e. the moon. Riccardo Renai, CEO of Cammilli and creative director, has introduced the Moon Drops line.

This is the most important innovation among those presented at the start of the new year. Moon Drops is also the result, they explain to the Tuscan company, of a long study. The jewels develop with a succession of drops, which with elaborate joints make a moon-shaped reflection designed with diamonds shine. The collection brings with it all the stylistic and chromatic innovations, starting from the refined colors of gold, of the Maison. However, the more traditional Goccia collection remains present in Annamaria Cammilli’s catalogue.

Ten emerging designers and talents and four new designers will represent the new jewelery at the next edition of GemGèneve (Palaexpo, 11-14 May 2023), selected on the initiative of Nadège Totah. The space dedicated to contemporary, emerging or still little-known creators is a feature of the event organized by Ronny Totah and Thomas Faerber. GemGèneve has established itself above all for the presence of companies specialized in the trade of large gems, vintage jewels, but also creators of contemporary jewellery.

The six emerging talents include Fred Fa from Belgium, who handcrafts each design, technical drawing and gouache. Aso Leon, China, is an award-winning jewelry artist who has been in jewelry for 27 years. In 2005 he introduced titanium into his fine jewelry creations, becoming known as the Prince of Titanium. Denise Cassou Couture Jewelry comes from Brazil: a passionate traveler, photographer, director and designer, she designed and created jewelry for herself, her daughters and her friends before offering her creativity to the rest of the world.

Teresa Escudero, Spain, graduated in History at the University of Santiago de Compostela before becoming a jewelry designer. Her brand is called Rites of Passage Art Jewelery and uses materials such as metal meteorites from 3.5 billion years ago, belonging to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, together with precious and rare stones, rough stones and organic materials such as wood. Iwona Tamborska, Poland, already present in May last year, returns among the emerging talents: she uses unusual materials such as meteorite fragments, plants and insects, but also puzzle tiles with hidden moving parts and hidden messages.

The free spirit of Betony Vernon on the star of Pianegonda

Published on April 7, 2023

news

Betony Vernon, direttrice creativa di Pianegonda

There are gregarious spirits, critical spirits, spirits of the times. Then, there are the free spirits. Caging them in a definition is impossible. They are composed of the same multiform matter present in the universe. Betony Vernon, design director of Pianegonda, is part of this small group of people who are many things in one. One aspect, however, is clear: she is not a woman who is satisfied. She likes to innovate, discover, create. With an ability to go beyond the boundaries established by the old rules. «But it’s not always easy, sometimes I feel like a candle in the wind», she tells jewels.com. The designer has settled in Italy, in Umbria, a couple of hours from the headquarters of Bros Manifatture in the Marche region.

If she has a free spirit, it is also her because Betony grew up in a non-traditional family in Virginia (USA): her helicopter pilot father also had a marked aptitude for artisanal and technical creativity. Her English mother was an art historian who was able to fight for civil rights in the 1960s, when it wasn’t very easy to do so. In short, an imprinting that Betony has cultivated over time and that has opened the door to a challenge to her comfort zone. Model, artist, designer, writer, sculptor, sexual anthropologist: Betony Vernon’s many lives in one follow an irregular path.

Anello maxi in argento, collezione Assoluto

Graduated in art history and goldsmithing in Virginia, the designer moved to Florence to specialize in metalworking at the Fuji Studio Art Workshop. «A beautiful city, but I needed to go further and I moved to Milan for a master’s degree at the prestigious Domus Academy», says Betony. «Architecture and design gurus such as Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini or Andrea Brandi were my teachers, the tutelary deities».

Anna Cleveland indossa la collezione Assoluto di Pianegonda

The decision to focus on design resulted in her first studio, Atelier B.V., which was followed by work for the Florentine Pampaloni and, as an interior designer, for Fornasetti. «And for Gianfranco Ferré I designed a collection of 30 pieces in gold and diamonds, on the theme of the safety pin: it was among the first fashion houses that crossed the border with jewellery». But she has also worked with Missoni, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Swarovski for jewels worn by Lady Gaga. It was in Milan that the designer discovered Pianegonda for the first time: «New, different jewellery, with an innovative design. And in silver, a metal that I love very much. I also thought that I would like to work if there was an opportunity. And the crossroads of destiny wanted it this way».

After a long parenthesis in Paris and the creation of videos, books, photographs, television programs such as The Boudoir for Mtv, sculptures and jewels, and after dealing without taboos with the theme of sensuality as a search for well-being, Betony Vernon received a phone call from Beatrice Beleggia, CEO of Bros Usa, the American branch of the Bros Manifatture group, which owns the Pianegonda brand. «I accepted with enthusiasm. The idea is to give a new identity to a historic brand. I started with colour: blue, like the sky I see from my house in Umbria», says the designer. And Betony Vernon seems the right person for her, precisely because of her interdisciplinary ability to create in different fields, which once would have been defined as Renaissance. Pianegonda, having left the Latin names of the collections on the street, perhaps not sufficiently perceptible to the general public, on the initiative of Betony has renewed the boutique in the fashion district of Milan, but also the packaging.

Assoluto, on the other hand, is the name of the first Pianegonda collection signed by Betony Vernon. Central motif: the sphere, one of the primordial forms and a design icon of the American creator. «The sphere is the center of life, of the cosmos, it represents the atom, the particle that makes up everything. It is at the same time something concrete and at the same time a symbol », explains Betony, who chose an unconventional model like Anna Cleveland for the collection.
The work for Pianegonda has just begun. Silver and gold will coexist under the stars of the designer, with simple and surprising shapes. Next stop: the new collection scheduled for autumn, in time for the appointment with Vicenzaoro.

Leda Madera, Giulia Tordini’s fashion brass

Published on April 5, 2023

Giulia Tordini, founder and creative director of the Milanese brand Leda Madera, launches a collection of gold-plated brass jewelry. They are jewels with a consistent volume, with soft lines, which can suggest a vaguely retro style. They are for sale on several online stores. Leda Madera is a Milanese brand that owes a lot to the fashion world, but focuses on the accessories side. In fact, she is part of a family specializing in the fashion sector: her father, Piero Tordini, designed shoes and now manages the Marcona 3 showroom in Milan. Her older sister, Giorgia, is co-founder of the cool-girl label The Attico. In short, it was almost inevitable that Giulia was also involved in fashion and accessories.

Originally from Marche, Milanese by adoption, Giulia Tordini attended the three-year course at the European Institute of Design. The collection includes updates to the first Realease 1 collection and the new Release 2 line. They seem to be inspired by the protagonists of the movie Thelma & Louise. But, to tell the truth, they seem more linked to the Art Deco style, which has a few decades more than the two cinematic daredevils. By the way, Leda Madera takes its name from her grandmother, to whom Giulia Tordini is very fond.

The young Lebanese designer Ralph Masri reinterprets the architecture of East and West in his jewelry ♦

Why in the world there are countries and cities where there are more jewelers? One of these lucky places is Lebanon. Closed (fortunately) the long period of tensions between the different souls of the population, the jewelry making business has recovered, also strong of customers who arrive in Beirut from the Gulf emirates. So it is not surprising if in the city that was once defined as Switzerland of the Middle East are born new generations of designers. One of the most acclaimed is Ralph Masri.

His jewels were worn by women like Meghan Markle and Princess Rania of Jordan.

The designer has a degree in Bachelors of Art of the jewels of Central Saint Martin College in London. He then followed the internship in companies such Pomellato and Swarovski in London. Because in addition to drawing pleasant objects you have to know how to sell and organize work. He then studied how to use the creativity by a London jeweler, Scott Wilson, who specializes in maxi jewelry for the fashion world. But Ralph Masri has followed his path: his jewels are geometric, darting, simple and rich at the same time. For Arabesque Deco collection, for example, it was inspired by the motifs of the ancient buildings of the Middle East, while with Sacred Windows collection was inspired by the architectural lines of the Gothic cathedrals. To you the choice.

Ricca collana con smeraldi e diamanti di Viren Bhagat

The extraordinary jewels of the Indian master Vivren Bhagat.
If you like the jewelry you see on this page you don’t look for the website of Viren Bhagat. There is not. And if ever there is a luxury most luxurious of others in the age of ever-network connection is just to not have a website. It can mean two things: you’re nobody and you do not feel the need, or you are so famous as you can snub the usual web brochure. Viren Bhagat, as you may have guessed, is part of this second species of human beings, those who do not need a business card to represent them. It is considered by some the Cartier India but from others has approached to Jar. Maybe it’s a bit ‘of both: he make a few pieces, fifty, a year, but with a lot of genius.

His headquarters is in the affluent district of Mumbai. Heir to four generations of a jewelry business, he open in 1991 his store along with his two brothers. He has an ability to interpret the jewelry that sends in the attic of the Maharajah the myths of the past, poetry and Mughal tradition. It is not that India is not present: is felt in all its creations. But it’s not a jewelry store that proposes the old days, if anything is a fusion between Indian style and art deco. “I’m not really inspired by art deco, I grew up with her,” said the jeweler. But perhaps it is the power of tradition that makes him bend metal lightly, with stones that seem to live its own life. Transparencies and thin conjunctions between different parts of a jewel are the constant stylistic. Sure, it takes time and perseverance: to create the bracelets may take six months, including research of the stones, cutting, embedding.

The jewels of Temple St. Clair, from Virginia to Florence, passing through the Renaissance and the nature ♦ ︎

From Florence she started over 30 years ago. And in Florence she has just returned, right on the Ponte Vecchio, with her first Italian store. The Temple St. Clair fine jewelery brand, founded in the Tuscan capital in 1986, has arrived in the historic center of the city thanks to a partnership with the Florentine jewelers family Vettori. Born in Virginia (USA), after studying in Switzerland, Temple St. Clair has discovered in the Florentine artisans the ability that is the result of a centuries-old tradition. Thanks to their teaching, the designer founded her company in 1986 in Florence.

She loves the Tuscan city: she has a degree in Italian studies at Smith College and a master’s degree in Italian Renaissance literature at Middlebury College. But she also loves nature: for November she decided to donate 20% of revenues of e-commerce sales to the Big Life Foundation in Africa: it’s a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting a vast territory of nature wilderness in East Africa employing hundreds of local Maasai rangers in its anti-poaching programs, among other conservation initiatives.

But besides the ability to work with gold, Temple St. Clair has a particular sensitivity in the use of stones.

She loves the translucent, elusive colors, like those of the moonstone used in the Silk Road collection. But it also seeks rare gems, such as the Australian black opal Lightening Ridge, Paraiba tourmaline, tsavorite. In 2017, Temple St. Clair was chosen, along with myths such as Louis Comfort Tiffany and Alexander Calder, as the third American designer of jewelry represented in the permanent collection of the Museum of Decorative Arts at the Louvre in Paris.

It’s name is Novecentonovantanove: the number is the brand of a Florence company specialized in tubogas bracelets and necklaces (but not only).

In 1999, in fact, a new jewelery brand was born in Florence: after long and heated debate the agreement was found on a name that recalls the year of birth, Novecentonovantanove (999). A number that is easy to remember, just as it is simple remember the style chosen for the products of the company that now belongs to Enzo Lazzerini: the classic tubogas. That is, those gold jewels made up of pairs of interlocking strips, with a shape reminiscent of gas hoses.

Bracciale tubogas in oro rosa con diamantj

The peculiarity of this process consists in the fact that necklaces or bracelets do not require welding. It was a popular type of jewel during the late 1930s and 1940s. The idea also reflects the need to make up for the scarcity of gold during the Second World War. The 999 tubogas bracelets or necklaces do not differ from the classic model: made of gold, often combined on the same piece in the different shades of yellow, white and pink. In some cases the jewels are embellished with diamonds, as in the collections with the greatest impact. Monica Battistoni

Beware of jewels that are easily damaged

Published on March 29, 2023

Campus

Did you know that light and heat can ruin your jewelry? Yet it is so. There are many jewels that can be compromised due to continuous exposure to light and too high a temperature. And it is not a question of the flame of a fire, but of simple solar heat. Here, then, which jewelry you need to protect your jewelry from light and heat.

The jewels at risk with light
First of all, it is better to clarify: not all jewels are sensitive to light and heat and, even those that are, have different degrees of criticality. An 18K gold bracelet will not have too many problems. The jewels most at risk, on the other hand, are those that use stones or other delicate materials: just like the skin or fabrics, the sun’s rays can compromise their color, which can fade. Too much light (beyond what is necessary for a simple use of the jewel) can also seriously damage their structure. The jewels at risk are those with delicate materials such as amber, ivory, pearls. But also with precious stones such as amethyst, kunzite, topaz, or cameos made with the engraving of a shell. Pearls and ivory, for example, are elements that turn whiter when exposed to extreme light. For a colored pearl, such as the black ones from Tahiti, the light can cause considerable damage. On the contrary, amber becomes darker if exposed to the sun for a long time.

Le perle sono tra i materiali più delicati

The jewels at risk with heat
So much heat and then sudden cold, for example in the summer when you go from the beach to an air-conditioned room, is a risk factor for stone jewelry. Sudden changes in temperature, in fact, can crack stones or more delicate materials. Pearls, for example, could dry out, break and discolor if they lose the moisture they need. But even stones like opals can change color and suddenly turn white or dark, and tiny cracks can appear on the surface, which in the long run can compromise the structure of the stone itself. There is also another reason to fear the heat. Many colored gemstones, in fact, are subjected to strong heat to improve the color and, in some cases, to make them even more transparent. Not only that: they are also often treated with solvents, steam and ultrasonic cleaners. These treatments can make the gem more attractive, but also more delicate. In short, don’t leave a stone ring in the sun for a long time.

I rubini sono stati messi in un recipiente al centro del fuoco, dove vengono riscaldati — Birmania, i rubini sono stati messi in un recipiente al centro del fuoco, dove vengono riscaldati per ravvivarne il colore

These are the most delicate gems
According to the ranking drawn up by Gia, among the stones most susceptible to heat and temperature changes, regardless of whether they are treated or not, there are tanzanite, feldspar (sun stone and moonstone), fluorite, iolite, kunzite, lapis lazuli , malachite, opal, topaz, turquoise, zircon.

The jewels of Massimo Raiteri, classics that never set ♦

The beauty of Italy, in particular of Italian jewellery, is the ability to produce high-class pieces, such as those signed by Massimo Raiteri. It is one of the products of the great nursery of Valencia, hills that seem to inspire some of the best craftsmen in the world. Massimo Raiteri has a history which, as often happens in the area, is rooted in the family tradition. His father had a laboratory and inspired the future designer to try to transform the tiny workplace (in a basement, he recalls) into a place of excellence for jewelry.

He succeeded: we have chosen some of his classics to give a pale idea of the monstrous workmanship, within the traditional class of jewels, of which the Maison is capable, which has established itself over the years. Unique pieces, jewels for the few, classy. But so pleasant to look at even if you don’t own them. Gold, especially white, many classic diamonds, white and colored, sapphires… In short, the elements that mark the border between ordinary and extraordinary jewellery. To those who commission a job, the company also underlines «the respect for others by using palladium alloys, therefore free from any nickel content that could cause allergies. In accordance with the guidelines transmitted, the fight against conflict diamonds is primary. All the stones used in Massimo Raiteri’s creations can only come from countries not in conflict zones and none of them constitutes bargaining chips from illicit trafficking, fueling the exploitation of the dignity of those who extract them». In short, there is also a pinch of goodness in beauty.

Everyone has to deal with a crease sooner or later. It can be the fold that shapes the hair, the one that divides a sheet of paper, that of a dress. Or a jewel. As in the case of Pleats, a collection by Tomasz Donocik dedicated to the alterations of a surface. The collection, explains the Polish-born, but London-based designer, is inspired by the design movements of the early 20th century, especially the Art Deco style and also by the folds commonly used in fashion at that time. But jewels also recall the shapes that appear when you look inside a kaleidoscope, or the thin woody surface you get when you sharpen a pencil.

Ina Lazarov isn’t the first woman to move from the desk of a finance firm to the jewelry design table. In this case, however, the Paris-based designer has a rather long curriculum: she worked in arbitrage and trading at the French bank Bred, in economic and raw materials analysis in the oil group Cma Cgm, in asset management for Bft Investment Managers and financial services for the Franco-German group Oddo Bhf. In short, a high-level career, which few can boast. But it would be wrong to imagine Ina Lazarov as a Wall Street wolf.

For example, she was a volunteer at the Isha Foundation, a non-profit spiritual organization founded in 1992 near Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India, by Sadhguru. It is no coincidence that the jewels that she designs often have a reference to the oriental world, such as the necklace from the Loto collection, with gold, diamonds, tanzanite and tourmaline. But, in addition to creating jewels, the designer has not lost her curiosity: her current passions are hydrogen (energy developed from hydrogen) and fintech (digital financial services).

They are jewels with few rules and a lot of creativity inherited from an aunt who designed and created jewels. In her biography, she tells how at the age of 13 Jesse Marlo received a bow-shaped brooch with pink rubies and diamonds, which belonged to her grandmother Miriam, as a gift. It was the first work of the designer, who transformed the family heirloom brooch into a modern necklace.

Born in Florianópolis, in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, Ruth Grieco is the granddaughter of the Brazilian fashion designer Galdino Lenzi, the first couturier in the history of local fashion, born into a family of Italian origin. Instead of focusing on clothes, however, Ruth Grieco has played the jewelry card: since 1975 the designer has been creating and producing jewelry with the colors and joy of Brazil. She uses gold together with tourmalines, aquamarines, emeralds, tanzanites, turquoise, diamonds and pearls, thanks to which she has gained fame even beyond the borders of Brazil.

Now the founder is the creative director, supported by her two daughters, Carolina and Paola, graduates in industrial design and business economics. Carolina takes care of marketing, while Paola takes care of production and the administrative aspect. The Brazilian Maison, which is also present on online platforms such as Moda Operandi, uses geometric shapes for jewels together with soft shapes and natural curves. A quality that is testified by numerous awards received over the years, such as the Tahitian Pearl Trophies, the Tanzanite Celebration of Life Award, the Embrarad Award for Jewelry Design and the Anglogold Design Forum, finalist in HRD’s Diamonds are Fun Contest, IBGM Awards and at the IF Design Awards.

Giuseppe Conte and the jewels of Conte Diamonds

Published on March 18, 2023

Now Giuseppe Conte is not only the name of the founder of Conte Diamonds, but also the name of a jewelry line that bears the name of the founder of the company. The brand, which is based in the center of the Tarì di Marcianise (Caserta), while the commercial headquarters and gemological laboratory are located in Milan, is the evolution of the family business, which has been in the world of jewelery for some time. A tradition that Giuseppe Conte wanted to continue with a diploma in gemology and a predilection for diamonds and precious stones. Thus was born Conte Diamonds, which now offers the line that takes the name of the founder of the brand.

The jewels signed by Giuseppe Conte, explains the company, are handmade with Colombian emeralds, rubies from Greenland, tanzanites from the Kilimanjaro area and superior quality diamonds. The jewels have a classic design, with a balanced proportion between diamonds and colored gemstones.

A new brand is born in New York, a city that is an inexhaustible factory of talent and adventure, protagonists of many films.

Her jewelery brand, Marija Iva, is also presented online, with the website MarijaIva.com.

Marija Iva Djordjevic studied art in Belgrade and Paris. She spent a period in Geneva, where she worked for twelve years as a senior jewelry designer for Piaget. Strengthened by this experience and the desire for new possibilities, she moved to New York City.

We all strive to incorporate beauty and deeper meaning into our daily lives, and that is what I ultimately hope to achieve with Marija Iva jewelry. Design for modern women who appreciate nuanced, understated and timeless jewelery of the highest quality that can be worn with confidence every single day.
Marija Iva Djordjevic

The designer designs each piece herself, starting with a pencil sketch on paper in her sketchbook to refine her ideas, before completing a scale rendering of the piece using the gouache technique. An expert over-the-counter jeweler herself, she works closely with French jewelery partners to handcraft each piece.

Ranieri e Grace di Monaco davanti alla gioielleria Peruzzi, 8 maggio 1957. Archivio Fratelli Peruzzi

Among those who appreciated the jewels of the Fratelli Peruzzi jewelery and silverware in Florence, there were also Prince Ranieri of Monaco and his wife, Grace Kelly. Witness a black and white image with the couple in front of the company’s Florentine workshop, surrounded by the usual onlookers and fans, who today would probably be followers. The work of this historic Florentine establishment is now collected in a book, Jewels in Florence, Archivio Fratelli Peruzzi (1880-1970), published by the Sillabe publishing house of Livorno and written by the jewelery historian Bianca Cappello. Objective: to make a piece of the history of Italian artisan jewelery better known to the general public.

Disegno per anelli in oro in stile Cinquecento, matita, inchiostro, acquerello su carta, anni ’30 del Novecento. Archivio Fratelli Peruzzi

Inside is described in 297 pages and with the help of 300 images, almost a century of goldsmith production, with drawings and photographs of the Fratelli Peruzzi jewelery and silverware. Founded in Florence in 1880, the Maison has worked between Italy and America, with a shop in Boston and a workshop and sales on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence.

There are stories that cannot be kept in the attic, which is why I wanted all the documentary material of Fratelli Peruzzi’s activity to be studied and valued. Thus, coming out of its casket, it can be kept forever in everyone’s memory.
Laura Giannoni Peruzzi, managing director of Fratelli Peruzzi

1. Giuseppe Peruzzi e il suo staff nel laboratorio di argenteria e oreficeria in Borgo San Jacopo a Firenze, 1919. Archivio Fratelli Peruzzi

It was an honor to be able to study this remarkable archive of drawings, photos and models of Florentine jewelery and silverware. Valuing it did not mean only bringing to light the history of the Peruzzi family through careful documentary research, but also being able to tell something more about the history of Italian-style jewelery (as it was called in the 19th century), characterized by original and autonomous distinctive elements compared to the so-called fashionable jewelery of Paris or London.
