Nanis with his head in the Little Clouds

Published on June 2, 2023

Showroom

Sometimes having your head in the clouds can inspire admiration. Provided they are Nuvolette (little clouds), three earrings signed by the Italian Maison Nanis. The founder and creative director Laura Bicego proposes gold jewels for Nanis, made with the artisan technique of the ribbed burin that scratches the surface of the metal. Furthermore, the jewel is also light, because it is empty inside: a choice that allows you to wear earrings even of maxi dimensions. This is the case, for example, of jewels called Nuvole (clouds), due to their large dimensions combined with a featherweight, made in yellow or pink gold.

The Nuvolette line is a more casual version of its older brother. It has smaller dimensions and is a jewel designed to be worn not only for special occasions, but also in everyday life. The 18k yellow gold earrings are crafted in the shape of the usual decreasing size boules, which are Nanis’s trademark. They are also offered with diamond pavé elements positioned in different points.

Reverse again for Nanis

Presented in 2018, the Dancing in the Rain Reverse collection by Nanis (we wrote about it here) has been enriched with new pieces over the years. But without losing its characteristic: the jewels, as the name of the collection suggests, can be worn in two different ways, thanks to their special design. The jewels are in 18-karat gold and use diamonds and natural stones, such as ruby, Australian opal, London blue topaz, amethyst, labradorite, perdidot. But, at the center of everything, there is the idea of the founder of the brand, Laura Bicego: a special mechanism that allows you to rotate the jewels and thus express them in two completely different ways.

Orecchini in oro con diamanti, tsavorite, ametista, labradorite verde, cristallo di rocca

An opportunity that allows you to wear jewels that double their function. Necklaces, earrings, bangles and rings use surfaces with faceted stones on one side, while the opposite surface is made with pavé. The Dancing in the Rain Reverse collection has obtained numerous acclaim and the ruby and diamond pavé ring is exhibited in the Vicenza Jewelery Museum.

Nanis sees rose with Sunset

Published on January 17, 2023

Showroom

A pink sunset is the free show that nature reserves for those who love it. A rose gold necklace is a sight to the wearer and to the person who loves who ties it around the neck. These two considerations give rise to a small revolution in the Nanis house, a jewelry brand that has always used yellow gold, finely worked with a burin. The result is a jewelry line called, not at home, Sunset. The collection was presented in September 2022, and expanded on the occasion of Vicenzaoro January 2023. But more than a sunset it seems the dawn of a new aesthetic adventure that arises from the creative will of Laura Bicego, founder and creative director of the Maison.

The Sunset collection, of course, does not abandon the soft style that characterizes Nanis jewels. Alongside earrings, ring and bracelet, the highlight of the collection is the reinterpretation of the Ivy necklace in a rose gold version. It is an adjustable necklace with diamond pavé details composed of a series of ovals. Pavé diamonds are also used to enrich other pieces, such as dangle earrings.

Nanis discovers the ancient charm of paisley

Published on December 11, 2022

Collana Paisley in oro e pavé di diamanti

The ancient charm of the paisley has conquered the modern design of Nanis, the jewelery Maison founded and directed by Laura Bicego. The shape of the paisley has an origin that is lost in history. Drawings with this shape resembling a drop with a curved tip have been found in the decorations of the great Mesopotamian civilizations and in Persia, until its diffusion in the Cashmere area and throughout India. Nanis has reinterpreted the silhouette of the drop (but for others the origin is a leaf) of the paisley with the technique that distinguishes the Venetian brand.

Orecchini con diamanti della collezione Paisley

The Cachemire collection includes 18-carat gold jewels with the usual refined ribbed burin workmanship, with hand engraving, together with pavé diamonds. The paisley shape is used for earrings, rings, also in the toi et moi version, as well as as a pendant for a necklace made up of a series of drops with curved tips concatenated to form a rich jewel closed in the center by an element with diamonds. With the same shape there is also a pendant to be used as a point of light for a thin chain.

The dance of Nanis becomes Elite

Orecchini pendenti con boule d'oro e diamanti

The ovoid spheres of Nanis, which the Venetian Maison calls boule, are the trademark of the brand founded by Laura Bicego. These yellow gold balls, scratched by hand with a burin and juxtaposed from time to time with milky-looking diamonds or stones, are the basis of many collections. Among the most successful, the Dancing in the rain line has been declined with as many variations. A sum of the style and compositional possibilities offered by this basic element, the boule, is translated into the Dancing Elite collection.

Orecchini in oro e diamanti Dancing Elite

The spheres of the collection are made in the usual way: made one by one, they are composed of two shells welded together and then placed in a special oven to harden. They are then connected to each other with small gold rings, with precision and patience. Then, they are ready to be engraved with a process that also makes them soft. Those of the Dancing Elite collection are no exception, alternating with small lines composed of white diamonds.

The Icon soft chain by Nanis

Published on April 3, 2022

Can a chain be as soft as love? Do metal rings manage to achieve the roundness of female forms? And how interesting can it become to invent something that has already been invented? Questions answered by the Icon line by Nanis, a brand founded, directed and playfully nurtured by Laura Bicego. It is not the first time that the Venetian Maison proposes the theme of the chain which, in fact, is among those archetypes of jewelry that cannot be ignored. But in the Icon collection, which follows another line that has the chain as its protagonist, that is, the Libera line, jewelry takes on a different expression.

Collana della collezione Icon indossata

Sensual, Nanis defines it, and that’s not the wrong adjective. But the chain is also a tribute to the historical legacy of the company and its first collections in the nineties. The motif of the chain, considered rigid and static in the common imagination, has been completely rethought through a more impressive link which, at the same time, is rounded in its lines, giving life to sinuous, sweet and daring jewels. The collection retains the Maison’s trademark: the millerighe engraving in 18-karat gold, with the addition of lines of small diamonds in some models.

Traveling with the Amulets of Nanis

Anelli della collezione Amuleti di Nanis

Ah, travel. After the limitations imposed by the pandemic, he returns some freedom. But there are those who are afraid of the unknowns hidden in travel. The solution is there, let it be said with a smile on your face, and it is an amulet. If, then, the lucky charm is combined with exotic locations, the journey will be even more peaceful. Now, then, there is an entire collection of jewels, Amuleti of Nanis, which is inspired by far and fascinating places. The Amuleti collection is the novelty for spring 2022 conceived by the founder and designer of the brand, Laura Bicego.

The collection includes pendants in 18k gold, diamonds and natural stones which are available in three sizes. The pendants, in fact, are combined with colored silk laces and can be used as necklaces or bracelets. Alternatively, the pendants can be used together with delicate gold chains decorated with a boule made with one of the natural stones of the collection. Amuleti uses the shape of Nanis cherries, that is, pendants with round cut stone, in a colorful and casual key. They are available in pairs or individually. There are, of course, also rings, available in different sizes.

The collection uses different natural stones: aquamarine, green and orange aventurine and moonstone. Each stone is inspired by particular places. The orange aventurine recalls Petra, the surprising city in Jordan that was also the set of the film Raiders of the Lost Ark. The green aventurine, on the other hand, is an allusion to the jungle of the Amazon. Moonstone amulets, on the other hand, were born as a reference to the expanses of the New Mexico desert. The Azure amulets, on the other hand, are reminiscent of the Saline of Camargue, in France. In short, you can wear a little world tour.

Nanis, rutilated quartz fantasy

Published on January 24, 2022

Rutilated quartz is a different stone from the others. While for most gems the purity and transparency of the stone is taken into account, for rutilated quartz what you like is precisely the inclusions. Nanis knows this well, proposing a new collection that has this gem at its center. Rutilated quartz, in fact, is a variety that contains needle-like inclusions of rutile, which can be golden, or silver, pink, copper red or deep black, which are seen in transparency in the stone, with always different variations.

The idea of discovering this imaginative natural creation inspired Laura Bicego, designer and founder of Nanis, who designed an entire collection based on rutilated quartz together, as usual for the Maison, with engraved gold and small diamonds. The quartz of the jewels is proposed in different versions, golden, pink, brown or with black inclusions. The jewels are made with a single shade, or with contrasting colors, up to clusters with a mix of shades that makes the jewels different from each other.

Mystery Black collection for Nanis

Published on November 9, 2021

COLLANE/bracciale/Showroom/Rings

The Dancing in the Rain collection by Nanis changes music again. The dance in the rain, which is repeated over the years with different combinations, this time takes on a vaguely mysterious rhythm. The new variation on the theme is called Mystery Black. The aesthetic context remains the same as the collection from which it derives, but the dark shade of the onyx now contrasts with the yellow of the 18-karat gold boule scratched by hand with a special burin. The gold boules thus alternate with black onyx pearls, in a play of chiaroscuro that also includes a clasp of diamonds intended for the necklace.

This closure, in particular, is designed to hook into every point of the necklace, so as to be able to vary the geometry and wear it in the Chanel version, or as a choker or chocker. Even the earrings and rings follow the same logic, with the alternation of yellow gold and black onyx elements, together with the introduction of pavé diamonds. In addition, the collection also includes a ring that replaces the onyx with a pavé of small black diamonds.

New pieces from the Dancing in the rain Azure collection by Nanis.

The elements of water and sky are a constant in the work of Laura Bicego, the creative founder of the Nanis brand, a Maison that turns 30 this year. One of Nanis’ most successful collections, for example, is Dancing in the Rain, which combines the concept of water with that of the sky. Now, always linked to that collection, here is Azure, the new line where shades of more or less intense blue recall the depths of the ocean, but also of a clear sky. The collection is in turn divided into two lines: the first includes 18-karat gold jewels in which oval spheres of milky aquamarine appear. The second, on the other hand, uses Blue London topaz.

The jewels are also enriched with lines of small diamonds, which connect the gems with the gold boule, made with the classic process that is a trademark of the brand: they are engraved by hand with the burin technique. The collection includes symmetrical jewels for the two lines, with long necklaces with pendants, earrings and rings, also in the version with bands.

Nanis even freer with Soul

Published on July 2, 2021

bracciale/Orecchini/Showroom/COLLANE

Being free women in words is not enough: freedom must also be that of the soul. The designer and founder of Nanis, Laura Bicego, extends the Libera (means free) collection with the Libera Soul line. They are jewels that adapt to the personality of the wearer without betraying the style that distinguishes the Maison of Vicenza. Versatility is the hallmark of Libera Soul. The most important example concerns two bracelets consisting of a ring or three in the form of a chain: the jewels can be transformed into necklaces thanks to a black silk cord.

The Libera Soul line takes up the typical shape of the collection from which it descends: an oval in 18 carat gold engraved entirely by hand, which is intertwined in two or three elements with the shape of a chain. The elongated rings, moreover, can be circumscribed by a pavé of diamonds. The line currently includes two bracelets-necklaces and four models of earrings, with more or less elongated gold rings.

The chain becomes Libera with Nanis

Published on April 16, 2021

COLLANE/Showroom/Rings

It is a historical moment in which, finally, the woman conquers more spaces, she feels freer. There is still a long way to go, we agree, but the desire for freedom of the female gender is much more widespread and taken into consideration. Even from jewellers. For this Laura Bicego, creative mind of Nanis, launches the Libera (a free woman) collection. As if to symbolize desire, but also the need to break obsolete patterns, prejudices, discrimination, the collection is based on the concept of chain. But on the contrary.

When you think of the chain, you always think of something rigid, which limits you.
Laura Bicego

For this reason, Nanis uses the chain, symbolically, to transform an object of constraint into an ornament that uses the style of the Maison. The 18-karat gold elements of the chain are engraved by hand, with subtle burin scratches: the typical Nanis process, to which lines of small diamonds are added. This way the metal has a soft appearance and softly reflects the light.

thanks to the design also the closure of the necklaces that becomes almost invisible, perfectly harmonized with the design of the jewels. Invisible, but fundamental because it opens to countless possibilities of interpretation. The necklaces, in fact, can be combined with bracelets, which are also available in models with a more classic or more irregular mesh, completely transforming the jewels. The same goes for the pendants, which offer different combinations.

The innovative design also involves the rings that move between the fingers, with harmonious curves, or with a rock touch, as in the case of the ring to be worn on the middle and ring fingers together. The collection also includes earrings in three sizes: small, medium and large, designed to be worn alone or together. Because, of course, the interpretation of this line of jewelry is absolutely free.

Forget the restrictions, the uneasy climate of the last few months and dream of freedom. Or, better, the normality of free walks, travel, friendships. All this lies behind Laura Bicego’s new creation, a ring and bracelet at the same time, embellished with the iconic diamond clasp. A jewel that the designer and founder of Nanis wanted to call Soffio Gitano (gypsy breath). Like the other jewels of the Venetian Maison, Soffio Gitano is also characterized by the boules in 18-karat yellow gold engraved by hand. The jewel can be worn in different ways. The same closure, in fact, allows you to open the jewel and turn it into a necklace.

The Maison, on the other hand, already has Soffio necklaces in its catalog, again with gold boules, but with the addition of milky aquamarine and hook closure with diamond detail, which opens and closes like a spring allowing you to wear the necklace in different ways. Always with the same design are also available versions with black onyx or only gold and diamonds.

Spring is back, summer is approaching and the light increases. The desire for the sun’s rays is accompanied by that for a happier life, the desire to appear with greater brilliance. These thoughts accompany a new creation by the Italian brand Nanis: Luce, a collection that includes a transformist necklace (a concept dear to the Vicenza Maison), which promises a continuous movement. The necklace is entirely handmade and is available in two sizes, one larger and one smaller.

But not only. The main feature of the Luce necklace is the possibility of being worn in many different ways, thanks to the particular design of the jewel, which allows you to adjust its length and change its geometry. The necklace consists of a bright triangle with two diamond boules and one in 18-karat gold at the top, which designer Laura Bicego likes to call tattoo. The boules in diamonds and gold move on the skin, constantly transforming into something new. In short, the necklace is also a new interpretation of the light point.

A new dance for Nanis

Published on November 19, 2020

Showroom/Rings

The Dancing Élite collection by Nanis is renewed ♦ ︎

Sometimes dancing in the rain makes brilliant encounters. For example, you know someone who is at the top of the social ladder. It is not a question of wealth, but of elevation, of selection, of rarefaction. In short, someone who is part of an elite, of a small circle of people, someone exceptional. And, perhaps, this meeting can be made easier with the new line of jewelry by Nanis. The brilliant designer of the Venetian Maison, Laura Bicego, in 2019 decided to introduce a new line of jewelry in the successful Dancing in the Rain collection. The new line is called Dancing Élite and is consistent with the style of the original collection. A year later, the Maison introduced new pieces, such as the spiral ring.

The jewels are composed of small diamond riviére, which add reflections among the hand-engraved yellow gold boules, the iconic signature of the Maison. The jewels are available in yellow gold or white gold. Even the rings, for example, are made with this style, but in this case the bubbles lengthen, to make contact with the fingers more pleasant. In addition to the rings, the collection also includes pendants, of different lengths, necklaces and bracelets. Giulia Netrese

The color of Nanis’ dance

COLLANE/Showroom/Rings

In Vicenza, at Laura Bicego‘s home, Nanis‘ creative mind, the dances continue again. And, in fact, it is especially when the world seems more cloudy that the need for lightness is felt. And the Dancing in the Rain Élite collection is light and playful. Launched a year ago, the collection is marked by small diamond riviére. And, as in the other collections of the Maison, the stones alternate with the yellow gold boule engraved by hand with the graver: tiny irregularities that add an artisan touch to the jewels.

However, Nanis’ 2020 dance provides a new flavor, added by chrysoprase or onyx pearls. The two stones introduce color to the collection that was originally only in the colors of yellow gold and white diamonds. Necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets introduced this year always follow the same design idea, but widen the range of choice for those who love to wear something classic but, at the same time, not too classic. Indeed, modern, like dance.

The Ivy necklace by Nanis doubles

Published on March 17, 2020

COLLANE/Showroom

The Ivy necklace, presented in 2019 by Nanis, is transformed. The jewels that change their appearance, on the other hand, are a characteristic of Laura Bicego’s Maison, as evidenced by one of the most famous collections: Transformer. The Ivy necklace, on the other hand, is composed of the classic hand-scratched yellow gold boules, with a small circle of diamonds to seal the beginning and end of the jewel.

Now, however, Nanis offers a second variant, which alternates small onyx spheres with gold ones. Not only that: as the images on this page testify, the necklace is designed to be worn in many different ways: in triple turn it becomes a choker, it can be adjusted like a sautoir, with a double turn it becomes a necklace with a classic length. And it can even be used as a belt. This ductility is achieved thanks to a closure that allows you to adjust the jewel in the preferred way. Small pavé diamonds are added to the scratched gold boules, which add extra luxury to the jewel.

Nouveaux bijoux dans la collection historique Transformista de Nanis, or jaune et diamants pour des colliers qui changent de forme ♦

Lancée en 2015 pour célébrer le 25e anniversaire, la collection Transformista de Nanis a immédiatement rencontré les faveurs des critiques et du public, comme on dirait pour une critique de film. Alors que le succès se poursuit, Nanis a décidé de poursuivre la collection en ajoutant ou, mieux, en transformant la Transformista: de nouvelles pièces ont été présentées à VicenzaOro. Maintenant, par exemple, de nouvelles boucles d’oreilles en jaune et diamants sont ajoutées à la ligne de bijoux.

Le principe est toujours le même: des colliers qui peuvent changer de forme, qui se transforment en bracelets, et des bracelets qui redeviennent des colliers, avec des diamants pour rendre le design de Laura Bicego encore plus précieux. L’or est toujours patiemment gravé à la main avec un burin, un travail qui nécessite la patience de Job. Mais la finition est sans aucun doute précieuse. A noter également que le bracelet qui devient collier a un mécanisme breveté: n’essayez pas de l’imiter. Lavinia Andorno

Next to her latest creation, Dancing in the Rain Aquamarine, Nanis also presented another variant, dedicated to women who want to wear this type of jewelry regardless of when and on what occasion. That is, every day. This line of jewels, which joins the others of the same type, is called Dancing in the Rain Everyday. In short, a dance that challenges the daily routine of pleasures, but also of the hassles that life presents.

Nanis, Dancing in the Rain Everyday, bracciale in oro e diamanti

Dancing in the Rain Everyday is made in the same way as the other lines of this collection created by designer Laura Bicego. In particular, in addition to the shape that includes oval volumes, the scratched gold is repeated, which makes the surface of the jewels with a pleasant effect also to the touch as well as to the view. In addition, the jewels are crossed by small lines of diamonds, which also serve to join the different spherical elements. Bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings complete the collection. The dance goes on.
