Mattioli forever with the new Navettes




The new jewels by Mattioli.

According to legend, in jewelry the navette shape, also called marquise, is connected to the Marquise de Pompadour, official mistress of the French king Louis XV from 1745 to 1751. For the noblewoman, the man who went down in history as the King Sole asked that the diamonds be cut to model the mouth of the marquise. Since then that elongated shape, like two opposite brackets that match and end with two points, have been a cornerstone in the history of jewelry. And with good reason Mattioli has adopted that oblong shape for his Navettes collection, with new pieces presented in Vicenzaoro together with the Vertigo line (which we will discuss in another article).

The collection adopts 18-karat rose gold and is enriched by new models with natural mother-of-pearl along with edges of white diamonds, or with full pavé diamonds. However, the shape of the shuttles and of the shuttle rings is revisited with sinuous curves that further soften the geometry. The collection includes earrings, rings, rigid and soft bracelets, as well as sautoir necklaces handcrafted in the Maison’s Turin workshop.

Not surprisingly, the company boasts one of the best Italian manufacturers in the sector. And, in addition to offering collections with its own brand, it also produces on behalf of prestigious jewelery houses. “In a few years we have reached about 400 employees,” says the entrepreneur, soul, mind and heart of the brand, Licia Mattioli. Which, perhaps, in her heart she does not regret too much the sliding door that she removed a couple of years ago from the presidency of Confindustria (the Italian association of major companies) to which she was a candidate and of which she would have been natural president. Life, on the other hand, due to a cynical and cheating destiny (avoiding personalizing the story), has taken a different turn. A bad luck for the Italian business system, a fortune for the Mattioli company created only a few years ago.

The story is well known: Luciano Mattioli, Licia’s father, in 1995 took over the Antica Ditta Marchisio, a historic company founded in 1860, which worked for clients such as Bulgari, Cartier or Tiffany, just to name three. In 2013 the company was sold to the Swiss Richemont group. But from a spin-off of that same reality Mattioli was born. And it is for this reason that the Mattioli jewelry production still boasts the historic 1TO punch of 1860 on the yellow metal. Translated for non-experts: it remains the first company in Turin authorized to “sign” worked gold as a guarantee. With the pleasure of contradicting those who are amazed at the entrepreneurial skills of a woman (there are still some examples of the category), Licia Mattioli in less than ten years has therefore built a solid, innovative and dynamic brand.

In a few years he has made famous collections of fine jewelry such as Fireworks or Reve_r, not to mention the rings inspired by the paintings of Arcimboldo: often the jewels of the Maison are an elaboration from the work of great painters. Alongside these lines, Mattioli has proposed a copious range of fine jewelry, with collections such as Siriana, Yin Yang or the very successful Puzzle, which continues to renew itself (you can find them all on gioiellis.com). And Navettes also promises a similar longevity.

Mattioli’s candies

The Candy collection by Mattioli: rings, necklaces and earrings with small cabochons on pavé diamonds ♦ ︎
From painters to sweets. Licia Mattioli’s passion is not only for great art, to which she has dedicated numerous collections in the past years. Now also ticks for sweets, which are transformed into jewelry and, in particular, in rings, necklaces and chandelier earrings. The new collection of the Maison of Turin is called, in fact, Candy.
Candies more for the liveliness of the appearance than for the shape, which has the well-defined style of the brand. The rings recall, in fact, those of the Reve_r collection, but this time with the stones arranged in a traditional way, like small cabochons to punctuate the surface of the jewel. In short, no longer the sharp back, the so-called culet of the stone, but the upper part, rounded and soft. There are nine pieces in all, with pavé of white or black diamonds and stones such as amethyst, blue topaz, sea water, peridot. They are lively, tuned to the beautiful season. But, beware: do not eat them. Lavinia Andorno

Apertura con sguardo all’orizzonte per VicenzaOro January 2018. Come da programma, la grande fiera dedicata alla gioielleria ha debuttato con Visio.Next, evento a più voci sul futuro della filiera.

La rappresentanza istituzionale è stata affidata, come lo scorso anno, al sottosegretario allo Sviluppo Economico, Ivan Scalfarotto. «Uno dei meriti di questo governo è stato quello di prendere a cura il segmento del lusso. Questo perché siamo convinti e lo diciamo con forza che anche questa è la manifattura italiana», ha scandito il membro dell’esecutivo. «Siamo bravi a fare macchine, ma siamo i numeri uno anche nel creare gioielli e vestiti. I nostri prodotti di alta artigianalità Made in Italy sono molto apprezzati all’estero e compongono una fetta importante della voce dell’Export italiano. Per questo abbiamo moltiplicato gli investimenti e con il piano straordinario per il Made in Italy siamo stati capaci di dare una spinta importante alla produzione ma soprattutto alle esportazioni. Rimini e Vicenza, assieme ad Arezzo, nel comparto della gioielleria hanno ben capito che l’unione fa la forza e a loro deve andare il nostro plauso più convinto per quello che hanno saputo fare in questi anni».

Mattioli shining

The new crackling fireworks by Mattioli, with rings and earrings.
The fireworks do not erupt only once. Indeed, they are a sight which like to see again. So it’s no surprise that Mattioli, a year from onset (we talked about here), renews Fireworks collection. The designer and entrepreneur Licia Mattioli still uses the technique that combines the pavé with larger stones placed at the center of the rings to make the sparkling jewel. But the Maison from Turin loves pull over their collections to paintings by great artists, and this time the color reference is to the “pointillist” Georges Seurat (1859- 1891), master in turning in figures of people or landscapes paintings constructed with a patient juxtaposition of small touches of color. It also is the idea behind the pavé, which in this case are made of morganite and tourmaline, blacks diamonds, aquamarine. To the rings, also, they are earrings made with the same technique. The debut of the new pieces of the Fireworks collection was set for Baselworld 2017. Giulia Netrese

A time travel with Mattioli

After the jewelry inspired to Arcimboldo, the journey in the art by Licia Mattioli continues with the capsule collection Les Epoques. Three different epochs represented in as many rings: there are the decorative elements of Art Nouveau with its serpentine lines and its curves wrapping in rose gold a luxurious aquamarine, while the linear engravings mark the volumes of the setting that supports a deep red cut emerald rectangular rodolite, to evoke the rationalist architecture of the forties. Lastly, the lightheartedness of the sixties with the vitamin colors enamel, which is repeated in the drawings by the geometric shapes around a sparkling morganite. Lavinia Andorno

Mattioli svizzera, ma esotica

[wzslider]A gennaio ha fatto scalpore la vendita dell’azienda a un gigante del lusso come gli svizzeri di Richemont, gruppo svizzero che comprende brand come Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, Panerai e Montblanc. A sette mesi di distanza il brand Mattioli ha girato pagina e, con la nuova gestione, si appresta a lanciare una raffica di novità: sono venti le collezioni in produzione. E la linea guida sembra essere quella dell’esotismo: si va da Tibet (si ispira ai fili di felicità in uso nel Paese asiatico), a Siriana, che invece evoca l’harem di Istanbul (anche se non si sa se le donne ne abbiano nostalgia).  African Queen è invece una linea dedicata alle donne Masai. Insomma, molte novità che sono state anticipate in un lungo articolo sul Sole 24Ore da Licia Mattioli, che continua a guidare l’azienda. Il nuovo progetto riguarda una serie di anelli dedicati agli animali. La collezione si chiama, appunto, Urban Animals: «Si tratta di una serie numerata di anelli dedicati a cinque animali. Ne realizzeremo cinque esemplari per ognuno, ed è una traccia di lavoro che seguiremo e implementeremo nei prossimi mesi, accanto alla creazione delle linee vere e proprie». L’imprenditrice spiega anche la sua filosofia: «L’idea è quella di affiancare le collezioni che creiamo ogni anno a pezzi unici, per clienti esclusive». La storia della Mattioli affonda le radici nell’Ottocento: il punzone 1TO, ottenuto dall’Antica Ditta Marchisio, è il primo rilasciato dalla Città di Torino. La famiglia Mattioli ha rilevato la società negli anni Novanta. «Siamo come un vaso d’argilla tra vasi di ferro i nostri concorrenti sono colossi come Pomellato, Buccellati, Bulgari. Combattiamo con dei giganti ma restiamo un’azienda con una forte connotazione di ricerca e design, cercando però di non innamorarci troppo della “nicchia” perché di nicchia si può anche morire», conclude l’imprenditrice.

ukMattioli swiss way, but exotic

In January, he made ​​headlines the sale of the company to a giant of luxury as the Swiss Richemont, the Swiss group, which includes brands such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger- LeCoultre, IWC, Panerai and Montblanc. Seven months after the brand Mattioli has turned the page, and with the new management, is set to launch a flurry of news: there are twenty collections in production. And the guideline seems to be that of exoticism, ranging from Tibet (inspired by the threads of happiness in use in the Asian country), a Syrian, who instead evokes the harem of Istanbul (although it is not known if women do have homesickness). African Queen is instead a dedicated line to the Masai women. In short, many new features that have been brought forward in a long article on newspaper Sole 24 Ore by Licia Mattioli, who continues to lead the company. The new project involves a series of rings dedicated to animals. The collection is aptly named Urban Animals: “This is a numbered series of rings dedicated to five animals. I realize five copies for everyone, and is a track of work that will follow and we will implement in the coming months, alongside the creation of the lines true. ” The entrepreneur also explains his philosophy: “The idea is to complement the collections every year we create unique pieces, exclusive to customers.” The story of Mattioli has its roots in the nineteenth century: the punch 1TO obtained from Ancient Ditta Marchisio, is the first issued by the City of Turin. The Mattioli family took over the company in the nineties. “We are like a clay pot between iron pots our competitors are giants like Pomellato, Buccellati, Bulgari. We fight with the giants but we remain a company with a strong research and design, but try not to fall in love too much of the “niche” niche because you can die, “concludes the entrepreneur.

Siete meses después de la marca Mattioli ha pasado página, y con la nueva gestión, está listo para lanzar una ráfaga de noticias: hay veinte colecciones en la producción. Y la pauta parece ser la de exotismo, que van desde el Tíbet (inspirado en los hilos de la felicidad en uso en el país asiático), un sirio, que en vez evoca el harén de Estambul (aunque no se sabe si las mujeres hacen tener nostalgia). African Queen es en cambio una línea dedicada a las mujeres masai.

Reuters: Italy less gold, it’s a battle over exports

According to the Reuters agency, Italy has lost its leadership as a gold jewelery exporter, overtaken by India and the United States. Not only that: it risks slipping further due to the high cost of production and tariff barriers. For years, Italy was the world’s largest producer and exporter of gold products. Companies such as Bulgari, Damiani and Roberto Coin were (and still are) Italian luxury brands celebrated around the world for their use of the yellow metal paired with precious stones and avant-garde designs. But the Italian gold sector, according to the British agency, is fighting an uphill battle against punitive tariffs imposed by markets such as China, and competition from lower cost producers, who benefit from improved skills and more advanced technologies .

Also impacting were soaring gold prices and high wages, which further inflated costs. Furthermore, sales of gold jewelery in Italy have plummeted due to the recession. “Demand for jewelery is one of the first to fall in a recession”, comments Licia Mattioli, president of Federorafi, and head of a goldsmith company in Turin. Sales of gold jewelry in Italy fell 15% in volume (to 4.8 tons) and 9% in value ($246 million) year-on-year in the second quarter, according to data from the World Gold Council.

Steven Tranquilli, director of the Italian federation of jewelery distributors, Federdettaglianti Orafi, estimates that retail gold jewelery sales in Italy have decreased by 20-25% in one year. And according to Federorafi, the sector’s total revenues in 2011 amounted to 6.3 billion euros, down 16% from 2007.

So now India and the US have overtaken Italy as exporters, at least in terms of volume. Added to this is the strong competition from countries with low processing costs, such as mainland China, Hong Kong and Thailand. Exports also suffer from high duties. Indian and Brazilian manufacturers pay low customs duties when exporting their jewelery to the EU. But in those countries there are brakes on imports. Furthermore, producers in India and the United States benefit from greater economies of scale compared to the fragmented nature of the Italian goldsmith sector, companies centered in Vicenza, Valenza, Arezzo and Bassano del Grappa, most of which are family-run with small artisan shops.

How does it come out? According to Reuters, there is a need to improve design skills and technology, as well as lower labor costs. Then there is the need to improve exports. Gold jewelery manufacturers gather three times a year, in January, May and September, for the VicenzaOro fairs in Vicenza, which attract hundreds of retail buyers from all over the world in search of the most interesting creations for their shops. And faced with the difficult challenges of the domestic market, Italian jewelery manufacturers are increasingly turning their attention towards rapidly growing markets. According to the latest data from VicenzaOro, the main destinations for Italian jewelery in the first quarter of 2012 were Switzerland (363 million euros, 22% of the total), the United Arab Emirates (237 million euros, equal 3%), and the United States (142 million euros, equal to 8.6%).

Italy exports around 70% of its gold jewellery, the rest is sold on the domestic market. “But the big problem for Italian gold jewelery exports are the import duties in the Bric countries”, adds Mattioli, referring to Brazil, Russia, India and China. Italian industry is pressuring the European Union to overcome the tariff challenge, but Brussels has responded that the high quality of Italian jewelery exports should ensure penetration into rapidly growing Asian markets, including China. “China manages substantial import tariffs, a major brake on business for Italian companies,” comments Mattioli. “We need to discuss the issue of import duties internationally.” According to VicenzaOro experts, however, exports to China in the first quarter of 2012 increased by 52.7% to 38.2 million euros, pushing the country to second place among export destinations.

Design innovation and marketing are the keys to success. At the retail level, for example, Damiani recorded a strong increase. “There are foreign markets that are growing rapidly and in which our group sees great possibilities, such as China, where Damiani is already present with eight stores and will soon open another five, and the former Soviet republics, where a new boutique will be inaugurated soon in Moscow”, confirmed Guido Damiani, president and CEO of the homonymous group. In short, all is not lost, fortunately.
