The roots of Lucy G.

Orecchini in oro bianco 9 carati, diamanti e rubini

Matera is one of the most beautiful Italian cities. But for centuries it was also one of the poorest and most forgotten in the South. Matera has also hosted the Loglisci family jewelry store for over a century (since 1899). And today Giuliana Loglisci, a young descendant of the founder of that jewelry, takes her creativity around the world. The young designer has even founded two brands: Lucy G and Pop Colors by Lucy G. The first is an accessible but quality jewelry brand, the second focuses entirely on colored gems. They are modern, lively, fast jewels.

The style is very far from the ancient atmosphere of her native land. Also because the designer has an 18-karat history: she moved to London for two years, where she studied at the Gemological Institute of America (Gia). In 2014 she then moved to Bangkok to complete her gemological training. A skill that has resulted in a job as a gemologist in a company. Before returning to Italy she decided to open her own brand Lucy G. Jewelry based in Thailand. Moving to Milan, Giuliana Loglisci has forged ahead: today she has 14 authorized dealers in Italy and Europe. The collections are colorful, with natural gems, diamonds and enamels mounted on 9 and 18 carat gold. Pop Colors by Lucy G is, however, another story and we will talk about it in another article.

The multi-awarded collections Atolli and Matera of Antonini expand for the summer with an eye to autumn. Two choker arrive, a type of necklace that has come back preeminently in fashion and often “extends” lines of jewels consolidated. As is the case with Atolli, who introduced in the Maison of Milan the use of jett: a black fossil stone, matching gold and diamonds, white or black. The collection Matera, on the other hand, is made up of jewels with a concave surface covered by a pavé of diamonds, white or champagne, recalling in miniature the extraordinary architecture of the Italian city excavated in the tufa. Now two jewels of these collections can also be used together with a lanyard to tie to the neck. Prices: choker Matera 2.800 euros, Choker Atolli 3.950 euros. Lavinia Andorno

Antonini chose Matera. To the charming city carved in the rock, next European Capital of Culture (2019), is dedicated to the new line of jewelry of Maison. But, unlike the city-jewel of Basilicata, the jewelery of Antonini don’t need to be further exploited: it’s just their design, together with the care to make it, to make them valuable. The style of the new line is as the capsules Mosaici, and Extraordinaire Collection (https://gioiellis.com/extraordinaire-antonini), with a variant of cocktail ring, gold and stones set in a concave frame, style chevalier. Translated: rings clearly visible and with their originality. The surface of the ring is available in three variants of gold and diamonds engraved with a circle of diamonds, or fully pavé, even in the larger version. But there are also earrings and a pendant, in the same style of the rings. The collection is available with different finishes of gold: yellow polished, satin, gold and natural white. The stones used are white diamonds, cognac or blacks. It is a strange mix of simplicity and, at the same time, wealth. Another step forward in the new life of the historic Milan brand.
