Published on September 1, 2022

An ice necklace for pop music star Katy Perry. Or, more precisely, a recycled 925 sterling silver necklace set with diamonds and sapphires, which comes from Iceland, the land of ice, but also of volcanoes and geysers. In short, cold and hot together, as is in the spirit of the founder of the Icelandic jewelry brand Aurum and the designer Guðbjörg Kristín, together with her husband Karl Jóhann Jóhannsson. Guðbjörg designed a large necklace for Katy Perry, delivered at an event in Reykjavik, where the singer inaugurated the Norwegian Prima ship. An excellent opportunity to raise awareness of the Icelandic jewelry brand.

The necklace is part of the Drifa collection and evokes the idea of snowfall, and has a design that evokes individual snowflakes, an event Icelanders know well. Each silver snowflake has unique shapes and textures, and connects to form the jewel. Guðbjörg also designed a bespoke bracelet in 925 sterling silver with yellow diamonds in the same style.

Anello in oro 18 carati con ametista taglio a cuore

The sea is the source of inspiration for Katey Walker, a jewelry designer who grew up on the Connecticut coast. Even when she moved to New York, the vastness of the ocean remained in the mind and heart of the designer, and she transfers this imprinting to her jewels. But it is a path that you have taken step by step. After a degree from Suffolk University in Boston, she majored in jewelry design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Then, she worked as an apprentice for one of the last major high jewelry manufacturing companies left in New York’s diamond district, working on pieces for Tiffany and David Yurman. In short, first the study, then the practical experience.

She lacked nothing to take off solo. She uses high-carat yellow and rose gold and a variety of natural gemstones, such as opals, all handcrafted from start to finish by her in her studio in the Connecticut River Valley, where she is back. The jewels are modern and cheerful, without unnecessary extravagance.

Anello in argento placcato oro 14 carati e lapis

It’s been a few years since Red Luxury, a jewelry and watch company that designs, manufactures and distributes its brands around the world, bought Pamela Love. The New York brand thus joined the Parisian Maison Reminiscence, also purchased by Red Luxury, which in the meantime has opened offices in New York, Geneva, Dubai and Hong Kong. Pamela Love for summer 2022 proposed the Ad Infinitum collection, in 14-karat gold-plated brass in some cases with the addition of stones such as lapis lazuli, amazonite, but also synthetic coral. Prices remain anchored downwards.

As a true New Yorker, Pamela Love has been able to be creative and enterprising. She started making jewelry in her Brooklyn apartment in 2006. And then he expanded the business to become an established brand. Like so many of her fellow designers (who knows why) she describes herself as “strongly influenced by astronomy, astrology, alchemy”, but also in “modern urban mysticism”, whatever that means. But it doesn’t matter: the jewels she proposes, in 14 carat gold, or simply in plated brass or silver, are successful.

Jessie Harris, experimental and minimal

Between conceptual and design art, between jewelery and futurism: here is the London designer Jessie Harris♦ ︎
That its launch platform was art, sculpture and visual performances, it’s easy to guess it: Jessie Harris, an English designer, is one of the new signatures of London fine jewelry. She explaining that is focused on the use of clean lines and structural forms to produce minimal sculptures dedicated to the body. Its jewels are those that are defined as minimal. They like to who do not want frills, but clean geometries, capable of scaling volumes, full and precise voids, with a simple workmanship. The problem in these cases is how to invent something new with a simple gold thread that turns into earrings or ring. When it’s happens, it’s a win for a few.

Jessie studied Fine Art at Chelsea’s College of Art and graduated in 2010. She started creating sound conceptual installations, but from concepts she preferred to move to something more tangible: jewelery. In her short autobiography however, her collections are defined as Retro Futurism, Reference Structures. Between artistic avant-gardes and jewelery, Jessie designs and realizes her pieces in her East London studio.

Carol Kauffmann plays cards

Everyone hopes, sooner or later, for a stroke of luck. Even those who do not believe in luck hope so and then, perhaps, bet on something, or make superstitious gestures. Or she, again, she consults the cards, like tarot cards. If you have these beliefs you will appreciate Carol Kauffmann’s Lucky Cards line, which features a series of gold, enamel and hand-colored glass pendants representing various types of playing or fortune-telling cards. They are small rectangles that match a chain (not included) and can be a lucky charm (for those who believe in it), or a simple unconventional pendant.

Carol Kauffmann, in fact, is a Brazilian designer who loves contemporary art and these pendants look like little naive paintings. A curious milestone for playing cards, invented in China around the ninth century, as a substitute for coins and gradually, through Egypt, Turkey and then Europe, transformed into game or divination tools. And, now, also in jewelry.

The bijoux by Katerina Psoma

Orecchini in ottone placcato argento e oro

Innovative bijoux by the Greek designer Katerina Psoma, between fashion, design and classicism ♦

When she was 15 Katerina Psoma loved spending time in her mother’s fashion boutique in Athens. In particular, she liked the clothes of Moschino, one of the most innovative Italian designers. In short, Katerina Psoma fell in love before fashion, then jewelry, but always as a complement to the dresses. You know, bijoux, but classy, like the clothes she admired when she was a girl in the boutique.

Orecchini in argento placcato oro con gemme sintetiche

The study of the history of art in Rome and London has also influenced the style adopted by her fashion bijoux. From art to design the step was short. In the field of design, for example, Katerina has also chosen the abstract style of Memphis, the current created by the Italian architect Ettore Sottsass. But, as often happens, the roots are also re-evaluated over the years: for this reason, in the jewels created with acrylic and brass materials there are often references to the classical Greek shapes.
Katerina Psoma does not use precious materials, but the selection is in any case accurate: vintage finds, Murano glass, antique beads, carved jade and translucent semi-precious stones, together with the acrylic material are some of the bases she has chosen for her pieces. Alessia Mongrando

Time travel has always been a human being’s dream. Together with another fantasy, that of space travel, among the stars. Put these two aspirations together and you can understand the meaning of 1932, haute joaillerie collection by Chanel. Because the high jewelery presented in Paris during the haute couture week is a tribute simultaneously to the founder of the Maison, Coco Chanel, and to her passion for high jewelery and the stars. Bijoux de Diamants was the name of the first Chanel high jewelery collection: they were jewels inspired by the constellations and marked an era. Some of those jewels were exhibited in Paris, at the Grand Palais Éphémère on the occasion, almost a century later, of the launch of 1932, which revisits the founder’s debut, instilling new ideas.

Allure Céleste, collana con diamanti taglio brillante, uno zaffiro ovale blu intenso di 55,55 carati e un diamante colore D, FL, taglio a pera da 8,05 carati

The collection is the result of the creativity of Patrice Leguéreau, director of Chanel Jewelery. In all there are 77 unique pieces, 12 of which are transformable (a trend now common to all the great Maison), which use gold adorned with diamonds, sapphires, yellow diamonds, rubies, spinels and tanzanites.

Comète Volute, collana con un diamante ovale di 9,32 carati

It is high jewelery and, therefore, a collection with pieces that compete with each other for richness, design and, of course, price. Like the Allure Céleste necklace, which uses brilliant-cut diamonds, a 55.55-carat deep blue oval sapphire and an 8.05-carat pear-cut D, FL color diamond. The two diamond elements detach and turn into brooches, while the central part can be worn as a bracelet. Another necklace, Comète Volute, has a spiral shape that encloses a 19.32-carat white oval diamond.

Looking for jewelry and then realizing that it is more fun to make it yourself. It is the story of Jennifer Koche, who founded Storrow Jewelry in Brooklin, New York. By profession, the designer spent 13 years as a jewelry buyer for luxury retailers such as Saks or Barneys. She was looking for vintage pieces in fairs and antique shops. Jewels of the past, but capable of communicating a sensation even in the present. In particular, Jennifer Koche developed a passion for jewelry from the Victorian era, that is, approximately from the second half of the nineteenth century. In particular, pendants, pendants and medals, but also rings.

A passion born thanks to a girl, when she went with her mother to visit the antique dealers in Boston. Most of Storrow’s jewels are meant to be attached to chains, bracelets, necklaces, possibly in a heterogeneous way. They are made of 14 karat gold with the addition of enamel or stones such as diamonds, opal, aquamarine, chrysoprase, moonstone, turquoise and pearls.

Who knows if we are facing a revolution in the world of jewelry. The novelty concerns a marketplace, that is an online store that offers jewels of different brands. The virtual store is called Muse and offers a refined selection of jewels (plus a few objects or items of clothing) by different designers. The list is long and includes mostly young but successful creators, from Nikos Koulis to Bea Bongiasca, from Fernando Jorge to Lorraine West, just to name a few (there are 55 in all).

The novelty consists in the fact that Muse proposes a collection, Have a Heart, which is composed almost exclusively of jewels by different designers. The series includes necklaces to which pendants with different style and author are attached. Since each pendant is the result of the work of a designer, the necklaces are therefore quite expensive, more or less from 20,000 to 60,000 dollars. As the name of the collection suggests, the shape of the heart never fails, but it is not the only source of inspiration. Furthermore, the sale of jewels is linked to the support of charitable initiatives (even if not specified at the moment). In short, issues that are close to heart.

Messika gives wings to high jewelery

Pharaohs, pyramids, sphinx: ancient Egypt is a myth. And diamonds are also a myth, companions desired by women. A myth among myths, Valérie Messika has decided to combine the Egyptian atmosphere with high-end diamond-based jewelry, which is the specialty of the Parisian Maison. The result is called Beyond the Light. It is a collection of high jewelry that the French designer defines retro-futuristic, an effective oxymoron to describe a collection that has its apex in Akh-Ba-Ka an incredible set with a design intrinsically inspired by the mythology and style of ancient Egypt. and its sacred scarabs, made of diamonds and white gold.

Attention, this is an exceptional set, which includes 15 diamonds cut from the same gem, a rough diamond of 110 carats discovered in the Lucara mine, in Botswana. All 15 diamonds obtained from that single stone are gathered in the same set: a rather extraordinary fact. Among all, there is a diamond with the highest purity, color D, and with a weight of 33 carats. Messika’s set also includes earrings and ring.

Ancient Egypt was a civilization that continues to fascinate all generations and cultures. It gives off a mystery, an almost magical aura that evokes eternity. It is also a world that infuses a powerful and inspiring spirituality.
Valérie Messika

An explanation has also been added to the name of the main set of the collection. In ancient Egyptian mythology, Ka symbolizes life energy and Ba represents transformation to the afterlife. From the union of these forces comes Akh, the transfiguration of a person towards the light. The word Akh-Ba-Ka therefore indicates transcendence. But it also means a great work of high jewelery. The necklace uses 2,550 diamonds, for a total of 71.49 carats. At the center of the necklace, the 33-carat cushion-cut diamond is inserted by a play of pendants. the wings of the beetle embrace the entire front part of the jewel and the other diamonds, some of which with fancy cuts.

Anello Ascending Shadows in oro bianco, diamanti centrali fancy, titanio e alluminio

For years, De Beers has entered the synthetic diamond market with the Lightbox brand. But The Alchemist of Light is, instead, the name of the high jewelery collection that obviously uses natural diamonds. Light, as we know, can cause different effects. A taste of the collection arrived in January. Six months later the big company that is synonymous with the most loved stone by women (a De Beers ad introduced the famous “a diamond is forever”) adds a new set of jewelry. In total there are 45 pieces of high jewelery made with diamonds of different cuts.

Anello della linea Frozen Capture con diamante di 8,24 carati al centro, incastonato in cristallo di rocca

During the haut couture week in Paris De Beers showed five new sets: Dusk Reflection, Ascending Shadows, Midnight Aura, Optical Wonder and Frozen Capture. The diamonds used are not only white or, more correctly, colorless, but also fancy. They are unique pieces, particularly rich and elaborate, with a modern design and use of titanium colored in pink and blue shades.

As an established trend now seems, the Alchemist of Light collection also features transformable pieces, such as the Dusk Reflection set, which features detachable elements: the choker is transformed into two cuffs, with a not simple goldsmith technique solution. It should also be noted that in some cases the diamonds are combined with “less noble” stones, as for Midnight Aura, where the transparent gems are placed inside green chrysoprase pearls. Or the Frozen Capture set, where diamonds coexist with rock crystal.

The precious Spirit of Louis Vuitton

COLLANE/Showroom/Rings

What distinguishes a high jewelry collection from another? The design, the stones used, the style of those who conceived it. Agree. But there is more. A jewel is unmistakable only if, alongside the opulence of its elements, materials and gems, it also retains its own spirit, something more that determines its charm. As in the case of the 125 pieces of high jewelery presented by Louis Vuitton in a collection called Spirit. It is the fourth creation with the Maison of the Lvmh group of Francesca Amfitheatrof, the most cosmopolitan creative director of the globe (American father of Russian origin, Italian mother, born in Japan, studied in London and worked in New York, and now in Paris) .

Collana con diamanti, smeraldi della Colombia e zaffiro dello Sri Lanka di 18,08 carati

The spirit in question, the one born with Monsieur Louis Vuitton’s first-class suitcases, is the classic flower monogram, which occurs together with the initials LV in the French brand’s jewels. But, unlike other big names in fashion and jewelry, in this case it is perfectly integrated into the jewelry. For example, a new diamond cut with the shape of the monogram flower has been introduced and patented. Spirit is also the largest collection of fine jewelry ever created by the Maison, which in total required some 40,000 hours of work. Another feature of the collection is that it includes many decomposable jewels.

Collana a tre fili Destiny con diamanti anche con il nuovo taglio monogram flower

Spirit is high jewelery, with unique pieces and stones. Like the Art Nouveau necklace with lots of diamonds and, above all, a royal blue sapphire from Sri Lanka weighing 18.08 carats. For this necklace Francesca Amfitheatrof used a diamond mosaic together with a hinge mechanism like that of the trunks, together with emeralds from Colombia, with an 8.90 carat gemstone, and a 2.60 carat D VVS1 diamond in the characteristic Monogram Flower cut.

Collana Grace con mosaico di diamanti e tsavorite di 65,26 carati

The Grace necklace has a double V design. It was crafted from custom cut baguette diamonds, with round diamonds curving in a soft wave on white gold. And most importantly, a huge 65.26-carat tsavorite hangs from the necklace. The stone is also a detachable pendant. The necklace took 2,000 hours of work and is accompanied by rings with the same materials and the same style.

Among the exceptional gems in the collection there is also a Mozambican ruby of over 10 carats, with an intense red hue with an unusual emerald cut. It is applied, together with others, to a necklace and can be detached and then applied to a diamond ring, which in turn can be broken down and added to the necklace. In short, a very precious game.

Joie DiGiovanni’s joys

Rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, Raynaud’s syndrome and colitis. It doesn’t seem like a particularly pleasant picture. But the consequences of an old car accident were, paradoxically, the spring that pushed Joie DiGiovanni, born in Philadelphia and with a name that indicates family origins in Italy, to focus on jewelry. In 2013 Joie launched her brand while working in sales for a clothing chain. Objective: to offer quality jewels, but suitable for non-formal, fun, colorful clothing. After three years of running in, the brand took off also thanks to the personal aesthetic chosen for the jewels.

At the center of Joie DiGiovanni’s work are colored necklaces and bracelets made with ruby, emerald and sapphire spheres, high quality hand-picked faceted stones, mounted in 14-karat gold. The gems are joined by an unbreakable thread: a long necklace can be wrapped in several turns without fear of breaking. The idea of using such a wide palette also offers the possibility of infinite variations. Baroque pearls are often added to the stones. Another feature of the designer is the proposal of alternative jewels, for example those with the design of the cannabis leaf, in gold and diamonds.

Orecchini in oro 14 carati, opale rosa, tormaline

Another medical aspect, however, concerns Dara, Joie’s younger sister who joined the company as a production assistant. Dara was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome and today the sisters are involved in helping communities that provide ongoing services to children with this disorder.

Jewels in the shape of crabs and fish by Daniela Villegas: the charm of the sea and exotic minerals ♦ ︎
«I started Early – Took my Dog / And visited the Sea / The Mermaids in the Basement / Came out to look at me». Thus began a poem by Emily Dickinson dedicated to the sea. The waves, the oceans, the shores, the mysterious life under water have always been a starting point for the imagination and a source of inspiration for artists and creative people in general. Daniela Villegas, a Mexican designer based in Los Angeles, is part of this sea-loving patrol. A good part of its jewels, which have always taken the shape of small or large animals, is dedicated to the creatures that live in the sea.

Collana Tangaroa, in oro giallo, diamanti, opale e zaffiri

Fish, but above all crabs, are made of gold, yellow or pink, stones like tourmaline, garnets, sapphires, but also the unusual ocean jasper. It is a multicolored stone found in Madagascar. It often has the shape of a smooth, almost spherical, multicolored pebble. The ocean jasper has been described as an orbicular jasper, but according to others it is mineral chalcedony. Some minerals are also composed of agate and small crystals of light quartz. A perfect stone for jewels that smell of the sea.

Mindi Mond describes herself as a devoted wife and mother and a dedicated board member of the Thanc Foundation (Thyroid, Head and Neck Cancer). But she is better known, however, as the founder and designer of the Maison that bears her name. He lives and works in New York, but his jewels seem more inspired by the ancient (and also modern) Art Deco. In fact, Mondi says that his mother was a collector of vintage jewelry, including those from the Victorian and Edwardian era.

A passion that reverberates on the collections that the designer offers: for example, jewels can be made with elements of ancient rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets or watches dismantled and adapted according to the taste of Mindi. But not only of course. They are classy jewels, in 18 or 14 carat gold, but also silver, diamonds, and sometimes colored stones, such as rubellite. Diamonds are the most used stone by the designer, in particular with different cuts mounted on the same jewel.

Do not miss Netali Nissim’s eyes

Anello in oro rosa, diamanti e zaffiri blu

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.

And this explains the name of the brand, which sells all over the world, but is based in Bangkok. The fine workmanship of the 18-karat gold, which transforms the jewelry into objects with a light design, is the characteristic of Mike Josehp Jewllery, with fringes and geometric volumes studded with diamonds.

French, born and raised among the perfumes of the French Riviera, Veronique Gabai does what she loves: to enclose the fragrances of Antibes-Juan les Pins in glass bottles. In short: it produces perfumes and cosmetic products with its own brand. An initiative that he decided after working for 12 years in Estée Lauder. But, in addition to the classic glass packaging, the perfumes are also offered with an original necklace. It is a pendant that contains perfumes of natural origin extracted from flowers, herbs, lemons and originating from the French Riviera. Although Veronique Gabai has moved to New York for years after getting married.

The pendant is offered in two versions: in silver or gold-plated. The necklaces with scented pendants have been widely used in antiquity. The pendant proposed by Veronique Gabai has the shape of a small perforated cylinder, which contains inside a small glass vial with one of the fragrances available. There are also two unisex perfume boosters. Pendants can also be worn with a chain that you already have: they can be easily attached. Of course the perfume containers are refillable once the fragrance is exhausted. Top-ups cost 100 dollars, while the gold pendant costs 990 dollars.

The extraordinary stones byBomare, brand founded in Geneva by Marc Boghossian ♦ ︎
Before Boghossian was Boghossian, that is a high-end jewelry brand admired all over the world, there was Bomare. This is the name of the Geneva-based company specializing in high-end colored diamonds, precious stones and unique jewelry creations. Marc Boghossian, Swiss of Armenian-Middle Eastern origin, founded Bomare in 1997. The company, which was present in GemGenève, offers natural pink, blue and yellow diamonds, large white diamonds, rubies and Burmese sapphires, Colombian emeralds and natural pearls. Things for refined investors and collectors. On the other hand, the Boghossian family has been in the diamond and jewelery industry for more than six generations.

A tradition that is rooted in time, in short, and that has helped to build the fame of Bomare. The Maison emphasizes that it has chosen to buy rough diamonds in conflict-free countries, in South Africa, in full compliance with the Kimberley process. The gems are then polished in New York and in Antwerp and are all certified with the Gia and Ssef laboratories. In GemGenève Bomare featured a titanium butterfly pendant, paved with diamonds and sapphires, but above all with a large pink diamond in the center, next to a necklace made of pear cut diamonds with 7.5 carat yellow diamonds. Pieces that do not go unnoticed.
