Mosaic cocktail with Antonini




There were several extraordinary things that happened in 2022: from reprehensible events, such as the war in Ukraine, to moments of emotion due to the disappearance of great personalities, but also the exciting new images from space, the (almost) end of covid in many areas of the world, enthusiasm for the protection of the environment. In short, the world is extraordinary, for better or for worse. And jewelry can be extraordinary too. Indeed, if we are talking about Antonini Milano, Maison that has made design its flag, we must speak of Extraordinaire, a name that the creative director Sergio Antonini has provided to his line of high jewelry.

2022 sees the addition of two new pieces to the Extraordinaire line. It is a gold Mosaic cocktail ring with the typical satin finish and a concave surface, which is a classic Antonini shape. The upper surface of the ring is composed of a pavé of black diamonds. A pair of earrings with an elongated shape, like lanceolate leaves curved by the wind, is made with the same materials.

They are collections with names that are not lacking in originality, such as Never stop blooming, Turn me on, Just for you. These are 18-karat gold jewels, enriched with precious stones such as diamonds or semi-precious stones, such as tourmaline. They are jewels with their own style, light, but precise, elegant, but without exaggerating and a four-petal flower is the distinctive sign that accompanies them.

Giulia Colussi, magical jewels




The magical world of Giulia Colussi, designer from Milan (Italy), between myths and the East ♦ ︎

The world is divided between those who see things that others do not see and those who see things they others believe to see. Complicated? Not much. If you are a superstitious person, you could love a four-leaf shape clover jewel with the idea that, perhaps, the amulet can bring you luck. If you are not a superstitious person, however, you can wear the four-leaf clover jewel simply because you like or remind you of nature.

Orecchini con tanzaniti e diamanti
Orecchini con tanzaniti e diamanti
The same reasoning applies to Giulia Colussi, designer from Milan who belongs to the first category. That is, those who are inspired by concepts in which one must have faith such as chakra, crystal therapy and clairvoyants to describe a stone, turquoise, which for others simply has a splendid blue color. Gold, pearls and, in some cases, even small Chinese or Japanese elements are used for the designer’s jewels, all proposed with a mystical or mythological “second reading”. To you the choice.

Sharra Pagano, life is a theater

//




Sharra Pagano, over half a century of one of the historical Italian jewelery brands and still capable of innovating ♦

Fashion & Jewelry. Or, more correctly, Fashion & Bijoux: the Sharra Pagano brand is associated with the roaring years of Italian fashion, when labels such as Armani, Moschino, Versace were imposed. In 1969 Lino Raggio and Gianfranco Signori launched this brand that still plays with the theatricality of the jewel composed without using precious materials, but precious ideas. With resins, for example, and more rarely with amethysts, topazes, tourmalines, citrine quartz, aventurine, rock crystals, obsidian, garnets, pearls.

But in reality most of the fashion bijoux that have become part of history are glass, plastic and rhinestones. In addition to having collaborated (and still collaborate) with some of the great fashion brands and designers, such as Walter Albini, Enrico Coveri and Francesco Moschino, Sharra Pagano has played a role in the world of theater and lyrical music. Famous fans were the soprano Renata Tebaldi and the historic rival Maria Callas. The brand has always had a recognizable style: jewels with accentuated, showy, almost theatrical volumes, with a curious marriage between Baroque and Art Deco. Large necklaces, tiaras, chandelier earrings: they seem inspired by a life in the front row. They will not please those who want to go unnoticed, but those bijoux are loved from those who aspire to a life as a protagonist.

The company also produces jewelry for third parties: the turnover of licenses weighs 55% and that of the Sharra Pagano brand 45%. Today the brand is owned by Giuseppe Fredella, president of the Italian Fashion Jewelery Association. But the production is still entirely carried out in Italy, in the Milan laboratory, by expert craftsmen who, in some cases, are the children of those who started producing 50 years ago.

The embroideries of Laurent Gandini

//




In Milan, a designer who follows the popular tradition of ex votos and interprets it in a refined way: Laurent Gandini ♦

The popular tradition, like that of ex-votos (precious objects that are found in Catholic churches for a grace received from some saint) is transformed into jewels: Laurent Gandini is a designer who loves the present looking to the past. He lives and works in Milan since 1990, with a style in contrast to the minimalism of many of his colleagues. Gandini takes inspiration from the folk tradition  but, of course, reworked to create very complex jewelry, which require a long and precise work. Symbols and myths have become metal embroidery, precious lace that make earrings, necklaces or rings.

Collana con cuore ex voto in oro 9 carati
Collana con cuore ex voto in oro 9 carati

They are not only related to the sacred environment, but also from profane superstition or, perhaps, the nineteenth-century iconography. It is almost obvious that such jewelry is the result of a work which is also anchored to the past, from the traditional manual realization, through the technique of lost wax. Farewell galvanization: here files are used on the metal, and the stones are popular ones, such as rock crystal. Prices: it depends on the version of the jewelry, if silver or gold. For example, a pair of earrings in silver filigree cost 350 Euros, while for the same model, but in gold, you go up to 1350 euro.

Jewelry exhibition for the eyes by IED




Jewels for the mind and the eyes. Those on display for two days at the ESH Gallery in Milan (via Forcella 7, on 14 and 15 July, free admission) are the result of the ideas of the graduates from IED Milan. The exhibition is titled Very very precious and includes nine collections for nine research projects by Jewelry Design Ied.

Across the dimension. Collezione di Zhuang Haoyue
Across the dimension. Collezione di Zhuang Haoyue

The contemporary art gallery, in the Tortona district, hosts the research of Italian and international authors between art, design and craftsmanship, in a dialogue between the tradition of decorative arts and contemporary aesthetics. The jewels are the result of the three-year IED course in Jewelry Design: a path that, as the organizers define, embraces the complex scenario of contemporary jewelery with a cultural, technical and design preparation, in a dialogue between two apparently distant realities, the approach personal and experimental and company-oriented design, both essential for future jewelery designers. In other words: they are not jewels designed to be worn, but as a creative expression.

The new jewels of Misani




Misani, a jewelry brand born in 1965 in Milan, uses a bit of everything: gold, pearls, leather, precious stones, amber, jade. The craftsmanship is testified, for example, by the use of hand-crumpled gold on the stones of the Vincoli collection and the historic boules. The jewels present the possible metalworkings: shiny, opaque, hammered gold, which is a classic of the Maison. The style is eclectic, that is, it takes up many ideas already tested over the years and puts them together in absolute freedom.

The history of the brand is linked to that of the founder, Ivo Misani (1938-1993), who in 1965 opened a goldsmith’s shop in via Vincenzo Monti, in Milan, and began his career as a designer. In 1971, together with his sister Angela and other partners, Misani opened a store at the Hotel Cala di Volpe on the Costa Smeralda. Success convinced him, in 1974, to found Misani Gioielli. Among the most prominent pieces are the hammered plate earrings. But also the use of leather. Today the Maison, which in the meantime has changed ownership, is faithful to its well-established style, which combines vintage with an informal approach to jewelry.

Do not miss Netali Nissim’s eyes

/




A special look at the jewels of the milan designer Netali Nissim ♦ ︎
The Eye of Providence, the evil eye, the divine eye … But how many times the pupils became symbols of something? Nothing strange, therefore, that the eye is also one of the most used icons in jewelry. For those who are superstitious, the eyes on rings, necklaces or bracelets are considered talismans able to keep away bad luck, for those who are skeptical, an amusing ornament that is able to attract attention. And This it was also understood by Netali Nissim, who inherited from his father, a merchant of precious stones, a special eye (it is appropriate to say it) for diamond jewelery.  And at the center of his collections he put the shape of the eye. The designer, who grew up in Milan, works in New York, but makes her jewels in Italy.

A simple look (obvious) at her work is enough to interpret the lively style, very trendy and winks (obvious also this) to the fashion world. Gold and diamonds are the main elements of the Netali Nissim menu, which also uses precious or semi-precious stones such as turquoise or quartz. In addition to the icon of the eye, repeated in many variations, the designer also uses the heart, or maxi chains. Do not lose sight of them.

A giant paper diamond for Tiffany

/




A giant diamond, but made of paper. In Milan, the capital of design for a week on the occasion of the Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone, from 7 to 12 June you can also see the large paper diamond sculpture by Daniele Papuli, exhibited in front of the Tiffany & Co. store in Piazza Duomo. The work is inspired by The Tiffany Diamond, a large 128.54 carat fancy yellow diamond, which is one of the most spectacular colored gems in the world: it was bought by Charles Lewis Tiffany in 1878 and worn by only four women in history. : the socialite Mrs. Mary Whitehouse, Audrey Hepburn for the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, from Lady Gaga at the 2019 Academy Awards and from Beyoncé in 2021 in the About Love campaign with Jay-Z.

Of course, even if large, the scultography does not emanate the same sparkle as the original. Daniele Papuli, the author, defines himself as a sculptor. The predilection for paper was born during an international workshop in Berlin, where he learned how to turn a sheet into a sculpture. With the Uff design by Papuli brand, since 2012 he has been producing and signing his small-format paper objects also for international luxury brands such as Bergdorf Goodman in New York, Neiman Marcus in Texas, SKP in Beijing in Peking. And now for Tiffany, New York.

The Agapanthus petals

//




The name of a flower for a small Maison that continues to bloom: Agapanthus ♦

There are so many jewelers who are inspired by flowers for their collections. There is only one, instead, who chooses the name of a flower for its own brand. It is Agapanthus, a small jewel brand born in 2003 at the initiative of Grazia and Elena Gilardi together with Paola Rocca, two sisters and their sister-in-law.
Of the three women, the designer is Grace. Their little Maison has gained space in time: first a shop in the center of Milan, in Cerva street, then in Lecco, Monza and Bergamo.

Orecchini in oro 9 carati con tormalina
Orecchini in oro 9 carati con tormalina

All Agapanthus jewels are handmade in Italy, by Lombard artisans. The designer explains that her inspirations come from travels, particularly in India, but also from architectural details, such as the Rosette of a Church, a Moroccan ceramic, or the dial of an antique clock. Jewelery uses silver, or pink, white and yellow gold 9 or 18 carat. Gold is always rigorously brushed by hand and sanded, never rhodium. Metal is matched with diamonds like gray, icy and brown diamonds, rubies, sapphires, tourmalines, tanzanites, aquamarine, opal, apatite, citruses, ioliths, garnets, labradorites.

Stop in Milan for the Tiffany Diamond

/




The Tiffany Diamond, 128.54 carat fancy yellow, travels the world as a relic symbol of the high jewelery tradition of Tiffany & Co. The stone has also arrived in Italy, in Milan, for the Yellow Is the New Blue event, as a dessert for the presentation of the high jewelery collection, the famous Blue Book. The Tiffany Diamond, in fact, symbolically represents the American Maison: it was acquired in 1877 by the founder Charles Lewis Tiffany. The diamond weighed in at 287.42 carats, but the rough stone was cut into a 128.54 carat cushion diamond.

The Milan installation was created inside a private residence. The space has been transformed into a Yellow Box, a new concept for the brand. A large sculpture created by Daniele Papuli, inspired by the yellow diamond, was made with sustainable paper.
The gem has 24 more facets than the 58 of a typical brilliant cut diamond, for a total of 82 facets. The yellow diamond was then mounted on a necklace with white diamonds of over 100 carats. It has only been worn four times in history, including Audrey Hepburn for the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Lady Gaga at the 2019 Academy Awards.

A rock soul for Ell

/




Silver rock and rebellious soul of Ell, a small Maison in Milan ♦ ︎
Two brothers, one goal: to chisel silver to make it an original jewel. With a bit of rock music. Lorenzo and Luca Cavolini, who were joined by two other brothers, Camilla and Gian Luca Clivio, gave life to Ell, a small Maison based in Milan. Behind them have a family tradition of craftsmanship: the father Luigi, goldsmith, has approached his sons to jewelry since childhood. But to stimulate Lorenzo and Luca to take the path of jewelry was a ring worn by Keith Richards, founder of the Rolling Stones (along with Mick Jagger), but also of a rock fashion style, with tattoos and leather jacket.

The Milanese brand offers handmade jewelry, generally in burnished silver, but also with gold and natural stones such as quartz, onyx, sunstone or raw amethyst. The style is between dark and indie, in which there are classic icons of the genre, such as skull, noose, and eye. Or, to emphasize the feeling with those outside the rules there is a collection called Criminal tattoo rings. But it is not necessary to have a heavy metal soul to wear Ell necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings.
