The gentle geometry of Adelio Rossini




Good news from the world of jewelry: there are still those who want to do, to propose, to confront the market. In this specific case the novelty is called Adelio Rossini. The even more interesting aspect is that it is a historical name, which now resumes the road interrupted by the crisis (not this one, that of world finance ten years ago).

The story began in 1988, when Adelio and Maria Grazia Rossini started a craft workshop, Stilnovo, in the district of Valenza (Italy). The company has grown and has worked, and still works, as a subcontractor for major jewelry brands. Over the years it has acquired solid expertise and, above all, “has reached a high standard of quality, necessary for working with Maison that sell on the international market”, says Maria Grazia Rossini.

At the beginning of the new century, the leap into the retail market was decided with its own brand, Adelio Rossini. However, an activity that was put on stand-by following the 2008 world recession: the company continued work on behalf of third parties. But, as often happens, it is a new generation that promotes change. Claudio Rossini, son of the founders, organized the great return of the brand to business. “We decided to return to the market with the Adelio Rossini brand and to focus on quality jewelry, but at an affordable price”, explains Claudio Rossini. The average price range varies between 99 and 700 euros, depending on the material used: silver, or silver bathed in gold. We go up, however, for the jewels in only 18 carat gold.

The realization of the jewels is concentrated in San Salvatore Monferrato, near Valenza, while the design takes place in the Lugano office (Switzerland). “Unpretentious jewels, which can be worn every day, even if you are wearing blue jeans,” adds Maria Grazia Rossini. “I would call them jewels with a gentle geometry”. In short, the machine has restarted. The distribution focuses on online shopping and, to start, on Milan and Lugano, where the jewels have already found the first showcase.

The Gregori, the eternal jewelers




The Gregori in Milan keep the tradition of goldsmith high since the end of the nineteenth century
Every Italian city or almost has its excellence. For jewelery, you can add Milan to the areas of Valenza, Vicenza, Arezzo and Torre del Greco. Among the jewelers who propose on the market with original proposals are the Gregori, a brand behind which there is an active family since the end of the nineteenth century. From the founder, Giovanni Gregori, passing for his brother Giuseppe (who was a tailor), to the children of the latter, Andrea and Luigi and his wife Marie Esterine in the fifties of the last century.

Today the company is run by the fourth generation, with the brothers Andrea and Piero Gregori. In short, there are few jewelry company (and businesses in general) that can boast such a long tradition. As can be expected, the jewels I Gregori are heirs of the long tradition: they use white or pink gold, diamonds, white or brown. But the jewelery design retains its originality, even in rings dedicated to weddings, special engagements or special occasions, in platinum and white diamonds. Tradition, yes, but not without a distinct personality. Giulia Netrese

The Filodellavita ring for three

/




The Filodellavita jewelry line (a name that in the period of health crisis is perfectly appropriate) by Rubinia Gioielli is multiplied. The Milanese company, in fact, presents the new version of the rings, now offered with three threads. The Filodellavita collection was launched in 2007 and, as the name indicates, is inspired by a linear and subtle form but also, in a figurative sense, indicates the thread of one’s existence, different for each person. Not only that: the gold or silver thread has always had, in the various versions, very precise numbers of turns: 7, 13, 22 and 10 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the collection.

The new three-wire version is inspired by the triad, a word that actually takes on many different meanings, actually more than three. In any case, the interpretation and assignment of a meaning to each thread is free: the jewel is offered both in silver and in the three colors of gold, but also in the version that combines the two metals. There is also a more precious variant, enriched with rivieras of black, brown or white diamonds. Price: from 300 euros to 990 euros.

The special gems of Forever Unique

/





There are many gem specialists who, from the simple passion (and competence) for precious stones, evolve into jewelers: this is the case of Osigem, a Milanese company (located a stone’s throw from Piazza Duomo), born from studies and activity in diamond trade by Aberto Osimo, and who launched the Forever Unique brand.

Orecchini in oro bianco, diamanti, smeraldi

The jewelery brand stands out because it uses, among other things, the cut of the Ideal Square diamond. They are stones extracted and worked in Canada with very refined cutting techniques: 68 facets that create the Cuori & Frecce path. In short, it enhances the reflections of light inside, doubling it. With these premises, here is Memory: platinum and diamond jewelry. Platinum and the Everlasting patent, explains the company, ensure constant hardness and brightness over time, without scratches even after years of daily use. In his intentions, Memory “celebrates time through an evocative and multisensory journey in which jewels are associated with musical instruments and forms”.

Osigem has also signed an agreement with De Beers Group which allows the company to import diamonds certified by the Iidgr, International Institute of Diamond Grading & Research, part of the De Beers Group of Companies. The diamonds, accompanied by the Diamond Grading Report, bear the initials Dbg (De Beers Group) Iidgr followed by the certificate number. Reported on the certificate itself and engraved on the diamond belt thanks to a special laser engraving, the brand guarantees its quality and origin. In fact, in addition to the usual 4 C, Carat (carat), Color (color), Clarity (purity) and Cut (cut), De Beers certifies, for its diamonds, a fifth C, Confidence (certainty), to indicate safety which comes from the transparent extraction path.

The choice of the subject, an exotic plant, is consistent with the designer’s double name. From a Trentino family, she lived in Japan as a child and then in the USA. And the second name (Fumiko) was chosen in honor of a teacher of the tea ceremony. From the Land of the Rising Sun Melania Fumiko has also brought pleasure to the clean lines that characterize Japanese design.

The jewels are designed to complete the outfit designed and created by the designer, but also as a gift for witnesses and bridesmaids. The Ginkgo Biloba leaf, among other things, also has the symbolic meaning of rebirth, vitality and immutability of things. And the irregular pavé of yellow sapphires and emeralds is inspired by the seasons of autumn and spring.

The collection consists of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, cufflinks and rings, handcrafted by a Milanese goldsmith workshop. The materials are 18-carat white, yellow and pink gold. Each jewel is handmade and is available in a gold-only version, or in gold and pavé-set with precious stones or brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted to make the gems brighter (they should also receive light from the back surface). In addition to the women’s line, men’s cufflinks are also available in 925 silver.

Pasquale Bruni renews the collections and opens a store in Via Monte Napoleone, in Milan ♦ ︎

Pasquale Bruni doubles in Milan and opens a store in the most prestigious luxury shopping street, via Monte Napoleone. The opening of the store, located at number 5, ie near Piazza San Babila, is scheduled for December. The Maison di Valenza will also keep showrooms and offices in the nearby Via Manzoni. It’s not a little commitment for the company, given that in the most famous Milanese street the cost per square meter is estimated at just under 40,000 euros, while for rentals it reaches 10,000 euros, still per square meter.

Pasquale Bruni has also recently renewed its collections, among which Atelier Vento stands out: unique, high-impact pieces made with diamonds that support rubellite, tanzanite and morganite. Among the jewels, the great necklace stands out, alternating diamonds and rubellite set in pavé on three rows of precious leaves, in the style of the collection presented at Baselworld a couple of years ago.

The collection also boasts the presence of several jewels from the 1930s, such as the splendid Cartier brooch / clip dated 1930 and estimated at 20,000-30,000 euros. The Cartier diamond bracelet, estimated at 40,000-60,000 euros with an original case, is from 1932.

It is no coincidence that there are many Cartiers in the collection. Indeed, Cologni, Cavaliere del Lavoro and Officier de la Légion d’Honneur, was the founder and director of the international magazine Cartier Art. For forty years he collaborated with Cartier to become president of Mondo and, following the incorporation of Cartier into the Richemont Group, has become executive chairman of the entire jewelery and watch sector of the Group. He is also the founder and President of the Cultural Committee of the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva. In 2016, together with Johann Rupert, Chairman of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA, he founded the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship, also based in Geneva, whose purpose is to enhance creativity and art professions at an international level creating emp

loyment, supporting culture and enhancing the savoir-faire of the territories.

The Cologni Foundation of the Craft Professions is a private non-profit institution, established in Milan in 1995. Its initiatives are aimed above all at young people: training new generations of Masters of Art, saving the excellent craft activities from the risk of disappearance that threatens them, is in fact one of the objectives that the Foundation pursues. Thanks to the new exhibition space, the Cologni Foundation will thus be able to give visibility and value to the work of the art masters, giving young people new vocations.

In some cases the watches are limited editions or dedicated to the collector. Among the most appealing lots in the collection are the La Monégasque wristwatch by Roger Dubuis from 2012 in pink gold, presented at auction with an estimate of 17,000-25,000 euros.
