Poem to lightness with Mini Rosa




Mini Rosa, the jewelery made in Milan for the sake of lightness ♦

Jewelry for smiles, designed for girls who are tough and unstoppable as their creator. Because Mini Rosa, the small stylized figure featuring the same brand drawn by Rosa Batosti Rossignol, is the alter ego of a super-mother with four children, who for 20 years has been the manager of human resources in large companies and has received the honorary title of lieutenant of the French Army, for deserved in her work. Parisian adoption, but Italian in the spirit has moved the culture of his country of origin and his passion for calligraphy in three jewelery lines: the first takes its name from the poet Dante and is in ebony, gold and diamonds, The second one celebrates Petrarch with mother-of-pearl, gold and diamonds, while the third literally reproduces Latin pronouns and verses on precious metals. So, next to the collier from my bases to a thousand, that is to give me a thousand kisses, from the most famous poem of Catullo, 9 carat pink gold and brown diamonds, there is the silver bracelet Amor vince omnia. And again, the necklace with the word quid pluris, where that extra something is the pink sapphire pendant. Or perhaps irony, a fundamental counterweight to the difficulties of life. With this certainty, Rosa Rossignol has created another collection with lightness: in the Mia bracelets, rings and earrings have the slight shape of a butterfly. All unique pieces created in a goldsmith workshop in Milan.

Tiffany under the Wall Street Journal lens

/

The Wall Street Journal‘s questions about Tiffany: where does the great American Maison go? Note: A few days after this article, Tiffany appointed Ceo Alessandro Bogliolo ♦

A few hours before a historic initiative for Tiffany, the movie with Lady Gaga broadcast during the Super Bowl in February 2017, the board of directors sent a message to Ceo Frederic Cumenal. Congratulations for the play of the pop singer? No: a letter of dismissal.
Starts from this episode a long article from the Wall Street Journal, the world’s leader of financial newspapers, which analyzes the New York company’s prospects. That now is leaded by former Ceo Michael Kowalski, called back to service. Yeah, but to go where? According to the American newspaper, Tiffany’s main problem is a decline in appeal among the Millenials and, more generally, among young people. Lady Gaga’s engagement, for example, had the purpose of combining Tiffany’s image with that of a very popular star. Just as, in intentions, the collaboration with Vogue Usa’s former creative director, the veteran Grace Coddington, would be refresh the look of company products.
A strategy that the financial newspaper judges with some doubt was also the idea of ​​bringing Tiffany jewels to the online shops of Net-a-Porter and Dover Street Market. All the initiatives that, at the moment, have not brought about any concrete results. Indeed, in the US, according to the latest quarterly report, sales fell by 3%. And the US market accounts for 90% of revenues, according to Forbes.
One of the problems identified by the Wall Street Journal concerns Tiffany’s sales quality: Nearly half, in 2016, came with jewelery at an average price of $ 530 or less. In short, jewels that certainly are not exclusive. This inclination to propose very popular jewelery would have lost the character of brand exclusivity.
Other negative: new collections represent less than 10% of sales. Deduction: The novelty is not perceived or appreciated. Objections to which Kowalski, who is now president, proudly replied: in his view, the wide variety of prices and styles offered by Tiffany are a strong point. And collections signed by historian designers like Jean Schlumberger and Elsa Peretti continue to be bestsellers. Who is right? The last word will be on budget numbers.
In Milan, meanwhile, Tiffany inaugurated a new boutique in the central Piazza Duomo. A very popular choice. Federico Graglia

New Vhernier Earrings

A new version of Vhernier earrings from the Vague collection, with turquoise paste. Images and price ♦ ︎
Five years ago Vhernier proposed a pair of limited edition earrings in conjunction with the most famous Italian brand of boats, Riva. They were earrings from the classic Vague collection of Vhernier, but asymmetrical: one was made of turquoise pasta, the other in white gold. Now the brand of Valenza and flagshipstore in Via Monte Napoleone, in Milan, relaunches blue earrings. But the occasion is the opening of the store in Porto Cervo, the port of Costa Smeralda, Sardinia, frequented by notoriously rich tourists. The Vague earrings are perhaps among the Vhernier collections, the one that has long life. However, they are renewed not in the design that simulates a soft wave, but in the materials. In September 2016, for example, were added earring made in titanium, one of the materials used by Maison for its collections. This new version of turquoise paste is sold individually (ie not for pair) at 900 euros. Alessia Mongrando

Spallanzani: say love with emoticon

Spallanzani’s precious emoticons to say differently «Only you» ♦
Carlo Spallanzani in 1880 could not foresee it. Also because in those distant years an emoticon was not even imaginable. At Las Vegas’s Couture, however, jewelery brand founded in Milan for almost 140 years ago and run by the fifth generation of the family, has brought, among other things, the latest jewelery collection, Mood, which uses precious icons Used in messages or email. 😀
Bracelets, in short, can communicate emotions and feelings. But, of course, Spallanzani also showed something other, like the Manette collection, born in the 1970’s and reinterpreted with stylistic variants and the use of precious stones embedded. Circles and semicircles in gold, chains and pavé of diamonds or sapphires, but also with the use of enamel. Handcuffs collection existes of a long time and is renewed over the years. But if you know Spallanzani you know that the most famous classic collection is Only You, which started in 1970. It’s a jewel initially created as a gift from Guido Spallanzani, nephew of the founder, for his wife Rosabianca. The bracelet was customized with the TSTQCA code message, the initial letters that make up the words in Italian “You Are All I Love”. Romantic, sure. But also a good idea of ​​design, so much so that gender developed again with different words and phrases.

The Philo brand was born in Milan (we have already spoken here) and is not the classic fruit of goldsmith tradition, but a product designed by Gubo study , specializing in fashion design and luxury accessories and already creator of brands like Opsobjects, other ready-to-wear costume jewelery. As means the name of the brand, Philo, the jewels are born from a particular craft process, with “a special alloy of gold, a spinning process that goes through several stages of processing.” The gold is 9 carats. It is created by melting the metal groove, which is still hot and malleable worked in the mill up to the square cross section of 1 mm side, through two annealing, and eight rolling passes. At the end of the technical explanation is obtained by a gold wire of 0.6 mm in diameter. At the wire, Philo, you can attach charms, in the form of small round stones or of silhouettes with the most disparate shapes. Prices are those of jewels, from 45 € for a pendant, up to 139 euro for the wire bracelet with small amethyst. It’s coming there is also a line with bracelets covered with leather at a price of 99 euro. Alessia Mongrando

The time of bijoux

Clocks turned into jewelry with a patient work of composition: it is the work of Tomoko Tokuda,Japanese designer who lives in Milan.
If Italians are drawn to the passion for food, what is that fascinates the Japanese? Who visits the Land of the Rising Sun knows it: the design. Essential and refined, rather than exotic. It must be the fruit of Japanese roots if a designer like Tomoko Tokuda, Japanese but grew up in Italy and France, found an absolutely original way in the world of quality bijoux. A Homi, the Milan exhibition dedicated among other things to the jewelry designer, Tomoko has presented her latest works of a story began when, at age 24, she was struck by old clocks at an antique store. Dials and lancets, metaphor of time passing and, at the same time, design elements as the same but always different, have become the material to work with. Time as a unique collection of jewelry made from a mosaic of wheels, gears and numbers: for sure it is an original choice. But it is also interesting from an aesthetic point of view. Her jewels are created with a selection of unique pieces “collected in antique markets around the world.” And, since the watchmaking work is a cousin of the goldsmith, with the work of Tomoko we are seeing a surprising marriage. But you do not ask what time it is to necklaces, earrings and rings.

Rosa’s geometries

A flurry of new collections designed by the Milanese designer Rosa Castelbarco. Here are pictures and prices.
Three years ago he made his debut in the world of jewelery (we talked about here). Some collections after, Rosa Castelbarco returns with a flurry of silver geometries, beads and crystals. Jewels for Millenials, perhaps, but also for those who like linear forms, with some reference to the Art Deco period. A total of five lines of jewelry, distinct but united by a common thread.
Lea. The simplest line, composed of choker that turns into bracelet, earrings and ring, all composed of a chain of silver rhodium with circles concentric plates welded together by rectangles.
Coco. It is defined as the more rock line of the collection. Here too there is a solid rhodium silver choker (but empty inside), but in concentric oval links. Here too, the choker becomes a bracelet with two laps. The matching earrings are shaped piercing, again in rhodium-plated silver.
Mavi. Chocker matched bracelet with small beads gathered in groups of three in three, which is close to the center with a diamond silver plate, softened by the presence of the beads. The diamond earrings are lightweight and empty inside.
Nera. distinct line an oval in the center of the choker and bracelet, surrounded by black beads, alternating three in three along the perishing of the necklace, with a touch of the thirties. The line is also composed of earrings, empty oval light suspended from a nun to love, and a ring.
Fiore. Choker with bracelet with double functionality, ovals, circles, diamonds, drops alternate creating a rainbow of geometry. The protagonists are the crystals in soft colors but never cold, mounted on silver, that give great light to the face.
Prices of jewelery vary between 60 and 150 Euros.

Diamond Love Scavia

Diamonds of the best quality combined with the fantasy of a historic jewelry store in the fashion district of Milan: it is the Star9 collection signed Scavia and Diamond Love Bond.
A marriage of convenience can turn into a happy marriage. Especially when you’re neighbors. In the center of Milan, in via Spiga, one of the most renowned jewelers of Milan, Scavia, it has signed an agreement with Diamond Love Bond, an international company specializing in the marketing of natural diamonds of high quality certificates. Coincidentally, but not too much, the two companies have the same address, although on different floors. The result is the Star9 collection: consists of rings, pendants and earrings with diamond inspired by the shape of the nine-pointed star, which is also the trademark of Diamond Love Bond. In short, on the one hand the quality of the goldsmith’s imagination, the other, the quality of the raw material, the diamonds. “We use only certified diamonds GIA, D, E and F color, clarity FL and IF, excellent quality triple and fluorescence absent,” explains Marco Pocaterra, CEO of Diamond Love Bond. A high and constant quality, stresses, is not even achieved by other emblazoned Maison jewelery. Thanks to this the company is able to sell its diamonds through bank branches. But that’s another story.
The collection don’t is just white diamonds. The Star9 made by Scavia can incorporate Natural Color Fancy Vivid Yellow stone, Green-Blue, Pink and Purple. To give an idea of ​​the price. In the case of necklaces, pendant is linked by a snare: a way to make the contents of the jewel price. But, of course it’s all relative: one star in platinum with a diamond of 0.5 carat deep blue (one of the rarest varieties) costs approximately 24,000 Euros. “It’s not just a piece of jewelry, but also an investment in precious asset” recalls Pocaterra. On the other hand, the goal is to reach customers who demand the best: “I have identified in the extraordinary diamond Diamond Love Bond the perfect partner for this new collection, designed with the same passion that characterizes all my creations, allowing me to offer an extraordinarily personalized service, giving me the freedom to create on the basis of delicious dreams and eternal fulfilling desires “, is the comment of Fulvio Maria Scavia, owner of the Milan fashion house.

The bijou can be creative, original and different. You can find witness at the boutique of Rosso Prezioso, in Milan, in the heart of the Brera district (we have already spoken here). Born from the initiative of Cristina Bacchetti and Roberta Romoli, the little Maison offers very colorful, fun earrings and necklaces, well proportioned, renewed twice a year. The pieces of the autumn winter 2016 collection are shaped in wood and then lacquered by hand: they have the advantage of being very light.

The shapes are very simple: circles, squares, or even stars, but the composition of the different elements is pleasant. Alessia Mongrando

How many stories with Francesca Mo

Rings and earrings that are offered as ideas to create stories: the Tales collection of Francesca Mo.
Rings, earrings and stories to tell. Francesca Mo, architect and designer from Milan, has designed a collection that incorporates the design themes of his most classic production: the square shapes, the references to childhood, craft making and sculpture. No coincidence that the designer is the daughter of the sculptor Carlo Mo. To present the collection Tales, she has chosen, as usual, the Subert gallery. But why jewels become Tales? Because, explains the designer, jewel-sculptures are ‘open’ to the imagination. They are like little pictures with characters who add a balloon, a cloud that contains a thought. Choosing more than one jewel, in short, you can compose an entire story. More than the used materials (plexiglass, bronze, silver and gold) it’s important the imagination and the desire to choose a radically different path from that of traditional jewelery. The jewelry with incorporated narrative were divided into two groups: Wintertime and Summertime. The miniature subjects that are part of it are the character that those who buy the jewel can create with imagination. In the line dedicated to winter there are bears, snow-covered houses and huts and on white-transparent shades. The line inspired by the summer, however, you feel the smell of the sea, with small boats, a heart floating on the waves, but also a little snake. Price of earrings and rings: from 100 to 180 Euros.
