The alternative of Anna Barbara





The provocation of Anna Barbara: with the design she creates necklaces and earrings reusing the poor materials ♦ ︎

Jewels produced / cut from fresh bricks. A collection of lost lenses. Jewels made with industrial waste. Let’s say the truth: only an avant-garde project can replace sapphires and gold, diamonds and lapis lazuli in the imagination of a jewelry designer. This minimalist, somewhat provocative way is the one followed by Anna Barbara, founder of the SenseLab architecture studio in Milan. Graduated in architecture, designer, Anna Barbara aims to be a reference to the circular economy, that is to say the principle that nothing is thrown away.

Bricks, quarry stone or beached debris: with an echo to Jonathan Safran Foer, “everything is illuminated with new life”.

These humble materials are transformed into rings, necklaces, pendants and earrings. The Mare Nostrum collection, subdivided into Rosita, Titanic and Migrante, alludes to the difficulties, but also to the cultural context of migrations. Also for this reason the poor jewels (of materials) and rich jewels (of ideas) become an alternative reference point and a message. Giulia Netrese

From the Amazon to Thais Bernardes

The Amazonian lianas inspire the new collection of Thais Bernardes ♦ ︎

Thais Bernardes, from fashion shows on catwalks to colored pencils on a desk. The former Brazilian model has reinvented herself as a jewelry designer and now launches the new collection: Cipó. The name is inspired by a typical plant of the forests and considered sacred to the natives of the Amazon. The cipò (from the tupi language: ysypó) is a sort of liana. In spite of the name, however, the jewels are not shaped like a vegetable rope.

The collection includes rings, earrings and bracelets (including a special hand bracelet) made of gold-plated silver and burnished silver.

Thais Bernardes, always sensitive to the rights of the natives, has decided to donate part of the proceeds from the sale of this collection to Survival International, a worldwide movement for indigenous peoples, which since 1969 has helped them to defend their lives, protect their lands and determine their future independently. You can buy them in Milan by Brian & Barry Building or online. Lavinia Andorno

Experimental jewelery in Milan





Artistic, contemporary, avant-garde jewels in an exhibition in Milan ♦

Contemporary jewel, artist’s jewel, experimental jewel. All three of these concepts are summarized in the third edition of Walking Treasures organized in Milan by Esh Gallery. The exhibition includes jewelry designed and made by designers such as the Hungarian Orsolya Losonczy, which combines precious metal with raw minerals, or the Israeli Daniella Saraya, a young designer with creations composed mostly of stones and natural elements. The German Carina Shoshtary, on the other hand, started a research on the properties of color and its physiological effects through unusual materials, such as pieces of recovered graffiti and peels of vegetable elements.

Daniella Saraya

The concept of metamorphosis is instead the starting point in the creations of the very young Sara Barbanti, winner of the latest edition of the Joya Award 2018: her jewels are mainly made of wood transformed into charcoal, based on the contrast between poor materials and precious metals. organic shapes and clean geometries, lights and shadows. Also Lodovica Fusco creates jewels reworking elements collected in its territory and in the technique used by Lucilla Giovanninetti and Valentina Caprini that transform textile elements into precious jewels.
The new collection inspired by the punctuation of Eleonora Ghilardi will also be presented, which will be compared with the geometric jewels of Yoko Takirai and the simplicity of Laura Volpi’s creations.

The Buccellati silver animals

/





The historical Furry collection of animals in silver, result of a meticulous craftsmanship ♦ ︎

Not all goldsmiths are equal. Not all jewelers are the same. And even those who enter jewelry is equal. This explains why a jeweler sometimes offers something different. Rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings: they are the daily bread of a Maison of jewelry. But Buccellati is a history apart. As evidenced by the Furry silver collection. It is not worn on the finger or slipped on the wrist: the pieces in this collection are, instead, evidence of the craftsmanship of the Milanese company with Tuscan origins.

In fact, Furry is a classic Buccellati collection, which has been revisiting it for years. Obviously with some tweaks.

Buccellati, anatroccolo
Buccellati, anatroccolo

These silver sculptures of animals are the result of an expert and laborious craftsmanship, to make details like fur and eyes. To make these small sculptures in silver, a clay model is first sculpted, followed by the processing of thin sheets of silver and the fabrication of the final form thanks to a cast. Finally, the work it’s continued with the assembly of the different parts of the silver animal and to cover the surface with the silver plate that simulates hair or feathers.

In Milan with de Grisogono

/





Inaugurated in Milan a Salotto de Grisogono within Pisa Orologeria ♦ ︎

To go from Milan to Rue du Rhône, to Geneva, it takes three hours and 45 minutes by car. Too much for those who want to buy a jewel signed de Grisogono. Now, however, those who live or pass by the Lombard city, which has experienced a tourist boom in recent years, can go to Via Verri, where a lounge dedicated to the famous Swiss Maison has been inaugurated in Pisa Orologeria.

“The opening in Milan in collaboration with Pisa Orologeria represents, for de Grisogono, the strategic opportunity to treat international customers in a privileged context and at the same time to develop the local public”, comments Fawaz Gruosi, founder and creative director of de Grisogono. “Milan is an ideal showcase for us that will allow us to express our values ​​of bold creativity, glamor, unique and unmistakable style. We will welcome customers in our living room with the intention of presenting an exclusive offer in terms of jewelry, fine jewelry and watchmaking, with impeccable service “.

“It is a brand of great prestige and exclusivity that will bring great value to our proposal. The space reserved for de Grisogono will welcome the clientele with its peculiar elegance “adds Chiara Pisa, managing director of Pisa Orologeria.
The Salotto de Grisogono is spread over an area of ​​about 30 square meters on the second floor of the flagship store of Pisa Orologeria. It is, therefore, a boutique in the boutique. In the space are represented the major collections of de Grisogono, as Allegra, Ventaglio and Vortex, but also unique pieces of fine jewelry and watchmaking.

Pisa Diamanti, in Milan new brand and salon

//





The Pisa Diamanti brand was born in Milan, and a new showroom in Pisa Orologeria hosts six big names of high jewelery ♦ ︎

Milan is the Italian capital of fashion, design and economy. But also of jewelry. Of course, in Valenza and Vicenza they are produced. But in Milan they are sold, especially in the so-called Quadrilatero, that is the area around Via Monte Napoleone. And it is precisely here that one of the most historical stages of jewelery is located, and not only. Pisa Orologeria, in via Verri, is a destination for luxury pilgrims, both Italian and foreign, who are looking for pieces that are often extraordinary. And there they find them. Now they can choose even more, because Pisa Orologeria presents two novelties. The first is its own high-end jewelry brand, Pisa Diamanti. The second novelty, however, concerns the opening of a large second floor.

The Pisa Diamanti collection now becomes a real high-end jewelry brand, born from the desire of Maristella and Chiara Pisa to express their values ​​and vision in a line of jewels.

The jewels that Pisa Orologeria made without transforming the offer into a brand, are now connected by a strong name. What is defined as a touch of femininity to the universe of jewelry is a collection with deliberately essential frames to enhance what makes a truly precious jewel: diamonds. The collection presented includes tennis necklaces and bracelets, solitaires, earrings and pendants light points. Classic frames, first quality stones and a lancet-shaped griffe, embellished with a setting of diamonds, are the guidelines of the Milanese brand. There are also cufflinks, chevalier rings and even gold and diamond tennis bracelets for men. “Pisa Diamanti gives continuity to the values ​​that have always characterized us according to our tradition: sobriety, elegance, attention to detail and constant research of quality”, comments Maristella Pisa, president of Pisa Orologeria. “Pisa Diamanti is the evolution of the relationship with our female clientele, to which we have always dedicated an eye to the watchmaking world”, adds Chiara Pisa, managing director.

Diamonds and high jewelery find a place on the second floor of the flagship store.

Il secondo piano di Pisa orologeria

In addition to those of Pisa Diamanti, in the bright and velvety salon there is the best of six high-end jewelery brands. There is something for everyone: Boucheron, Chaumet, Chopard, de Grisogono, Messika and Tamara Comolli. In short, from the most classic high jewelry to the light-hearted, but always on the highest step of the podium. “It is a new point of contact with female customers, to whom we have always dedicated an eye to the watchmaking world”, continues Chiara Pisa. “A new adventure that, starting from September 2018, sees the second floor of the Flagship Store destined for the diamond universe, now renamed the Salone dei Jewels”.
The project was curated by Vittorio Carena Studio. The surface is organized with a large oval of over 100 square meters, which houses the brands, plus a satellite space dedicated to the Salotto de Grisogono. Circular desk and imperial metal cases and precious fabrics are surmounted by a glass and light installation and greeted by a large pastel-colored carpet. True luxury, but sober, very Milanese.

Dreamboule, a world in a ring




The world apart from Ben Crocco and his Dreamboule: the fantasy enclosed in a ring ♦

There are those who live in their own private world. They dream it, imagine it, want it. And there are those who, on the other hand, create their own world. Not only that: after having created they give it to others, because they put it on their finger. This is what does Ben Crocco, a Milanese with many years spent in Geneva, the home of fine watchmaking. It’s not a casuality. Because the worlds created with the new Dreamboule brand are also the result of experience in the universe of precision combined with luxury, the one that moves the hands of prestigious brands such as Hublot.

Gli anelli di Dream Boule
Gli anelli di Dream Boule

After a degree in Industrial Design, Ben Crocco decided to remain in the university environment as a researcher in the communication sector. He founded in Milan a design studio mainly dedicated to furniture, accessories and various objects.

But he is also an expert in watchmaking: his family is based in Geneva and deals with a prestigious brand such as Hublot.

In 2004, the designer moved to the family business in Geneva and contributed to the launch of the famous Big Bang model, along with Jean-Claude Biver and Ricardo Guadalupe. In 2008 he returned to Milan, where he opened Nerone, a boutique that sells Hublot watches in addition to jewelry. In 2018, after years of experience, Crocco decided to focus strongly on innovation and launched Dreamboule. In fact, just look at these rings that contain animals, flowers, writings, objects such as a guitar, to have immediately clear the idea of ​​innovation. It should be added, in any case, that the playful appearance of jewels should not be mislead you: they are not only refined pieces from a design point of view, but also valuable objects, in gold, pearls and precious stones.

Vasco on the wrist with Kidult





From Roxy Bar to Kidult’s bijoux: the verses of Vasco’s songs arrive on the bracelets ♦

There are singers who are not singers. They are mild. And the myths do not sing, they travel in memory. Sometimes they are transformed: they become t-shirts, flags, and even bijoux. As in the case of a collection dedicated to the all-Italian myth of Vasco Rossi. From rebel to rock oracle, a definition that he probably would like very little, the step was not short: it lasted 30 years.

Now, however, Vasco Rossi’s fans can not only sing his songs and, of course, listen to his music, but also have the chance to play a karaoke through the bracelets of Kidult, Milan brand created by Mabina.

The Vasco Official Collection, in fact, shows the verses of the artist in a unisex version: 12 bracelets are for women and seven for men. The verses of the recorded songs are, for example, “If you need and do not find me, look for me in a dream. I love you “, or” To live and smile for trouble “,” I live in emotions that you do not even know to give me “,” The stars are in heaven and dreams do not know “and so on. The bracelets are made of steel and can be with or without pendants.

It will be a coincidence, but also in the unique pieces of the Maison there are rings like the Anemone ring, which make think more of the organisms that are on the bottom of the sea than the flowers that grow on the earth.
The company’s history began in the ’60s by Giovanni Botta, who opened his goldsmith shop in the center of Milan. Thirty years later, his son Nicola took over the business opening the new store in Corso Magenta. The workmanship is taken care of in the smallest details and a warranty certificate is supplied to each jewel. The jewelry specifies that the metals used in the title in white or 750‰ rose gold, with the title in platinum 950 ‰ are punched with the trademark MI716.

Kashmir records for Faraone Casa d’Aste






A Sapphire of Kashmir get 12 buyers in competition at sale of Faraone Casa d’Aste. In the end it was sold for … ♦ ︎
Half a million euros is not cheap. Indeed, it is very much for an auction dedicated to jewelry and watches organized in Milan. And it is the sum agreed for lot 282 of the sale organized at the Four Season by Faraone Casa d’Aste. The auctioneer Patrizia di Carrobio has awarded, for 545,000 euros, a platinum ring with Kashmir sapphire, with a cushion cut of about 9 carats, surrounded by diamonds. The price is in line with the valuations of similar stones on other plazas, but it is also over five times the basic value, which was set at only 100,000 euros. In short, the race to win the ring saw a series of raises by 12 foreign bidders connected by telephone.
Good reception also for the two previous lots, 281 and 273. The first was a demi-piece by Van Cleef & Arpels, consisting of a ring and earrings in platinum with 14 carats of brilliant cut diamonds and 15 carats of round rubies, with a base auction of 15,000 euros was beaten for 60,000, after a long series of raises. The second lot, platinum ring with 4.65 carats octagonal emerald, surrounded by brilliant cut diamonds and baguette, was awarded on the phone at a value of 30,000 euros from a base of 14,000.
The Milanese auction house also signals lot 276, a platinum ring signed Bulgari with an old cut diamond of about 3 carats, surrounded by brilliant cut diamonds and baguette of about 3 carats, wrought for 16,000 euros. Sales totaled around 1,210,000 euros. Now the after sale starts. Federico Graglia
