Palloncino by Vhernier also around the neck

If you like something, why change it? Right. Vhernier, however, has chosen to introduce some innovations in his longest-running collection, Palloncino (means balloon). Now, in fact, the balloon is transformed into a pendant with a bright color, always with the usual round shape. Under the knot, covered with diamonds, is the white gold thread. The new Palloncino pendant is added to the collection that includes the ring and earrings. The jewels are made of white gold, rock crystal and jade, or rhodonite, turquoise, lapis lazuli or white mother-of-pearl.

The Palloncino collection was Vhernier’s first: it was launched in 1984, when the Maison was founded. This line continues to be among the jewels of the Valenza brand. At the beginning of its history, the innovative shape of the jewel, reminiscent of the light balloon tied to a thread that is given to children, was reserved for single earrings, which can also be worn as brooches, to which rings have also been added and, now , necklace.

From the vine to the jewel with Pierre d’Alexis




There are wines that are considered jewels. But there are also jewels made in symbiosis with the origin of the wine, the vine plant. But not only. The idea of ​​combining tradition with jewelry comes from Grégoire Maret, a Swiss from Upper Valais, who created the Maison Pierre d’Alexis. The idea is really different from the usual: pieces of jewelry that contain a heart of ancient wood, made from vine stocks. The plant is transformed into an ingot to be worked, modeled and covered with precious metal, in some cases with the addition of gems.

The result is called Cep de Coeur, the first collection of pendants made from a vine stock, produced in a limited number. An idea born in 2019, during an exhibition on the theme of the vine plant. The designer, who is a graduate of the École Technique de la Vallée de Joux, decided to transform the vine stock into a precious material. But, in reality, reaching the goal was not easy. To do this, he sought help from the Bernese University of Applied Sciences in Biel, where a team was working on a process to densify wood for use as a building material. The log is trimmed, impregnated with a synthetic resin, heated to a high temperature and compressed. The result is small blocks of about three centimeters. At that point the material is solid like a stone and can be worked like a jewel.

Chains with Fantasy for Fawaz Gruosi

///




If there is one thing that Fawaz Gruosi does not lack, it is fantasy. In his new Maison, created in his image and likeness, the jeweler unleashes his proven experience, together with the usual gift of creativity. The Fantasy line was born on this basis, a collection inspired by the eternal shape of the chain. It takes imagination, in fact, to propose chains that are different from those commonly found on the market, but also from those that offer other brands devoted to design. Mission accomplished.

Two sautoirs feature flat, elongated and organically shaped oval rings in pink, gold and ivory ceramic, or white, gold and black ceramic. For some models, diamonds are added, with smaller tonneau-shaped links, that is, more rounded. The gems are arranged in an apparently random way, but in reality with a perfect balance. The jewelry clasp was specially developed in Fawaz Gruosi’s atelier in Geneva so that it can be seamlessly integrated into the design.

The collection also includes bracelets, with the same style and the same materials: they are available in pink gold and ivory ceramic, or in white gold and black ceramic, with each link made unique by the original par hazard diamond setting. Fantasy earrings are composed of a sequence of rings in pink or white gold joined by small tonneau-shaped links, ending with a drop of ivory or black ceramic. Each earring is individually signed with a letter F on the back, which also indicates that the earring must be worn on the right lobe, while the letter G indicates the left. Finally, there is no shortage of rings in the Fantasy collection. In this case the chain has rounded links to follow the shape of the finger and adapt better.

Often it is the smallest jewels that pose the greatest challenges, and this ring is one example. It is not easy to mix ceramic and gold, but once again my skilled goldsmiths have given body to my Fantasy.

Gold and good feelings for Gumuchian’s jewelry

//




Three women of Armenian origin: Anita Gumuchian and her daughters Myriam and Patricia. It was they who continued the centenary history of the family in jewelry. Jewelry designed by women for women, they emphasize. And they do it in the center of Manhattan, New York. Diamonds and colored gems are the ingredients behind the Maison, which has the family name, Gumuchian.

Those of the Maison are all high quality jewels, in platinum or yellow, white and pink with 18 carats. The shape of the jewels, without being extravagant, is a mix of modern styles from which occasionally some oriental allusion emerges. Gumuchian also offers important pieces, such as earrings with emeralds or the ring with a large cabochon sapphire in the center. Furthermore, two collections are linked to philanthropic objectives. The first is dedicated to the protection of bees, insects that are fundamental for natural balance: the jewels use the hexagonal shape of the cells in the hives. The second also serves to finance the cardiology department of the Columbia Medical Center: it is no coincidence that the collection is called Tiny Hearts.

Three Smileys for Messika

//




Since the world, too often, communicates the worst side of humanity (or, better, the lack of humanity), let’s try to find a smile again. A smiling jewel can be an idea. So it happens that on the fiftieth anniversary of the Smiley icon, the Parisian Maison Messika turned to the artist André Saraiva, famous for his Mr. A graffiti to create smiling jewels.

The Smiley icon was created in 1972 by French journalist Franklin Loufrani to spread good news and over the years the smiley face has become one of the most important icons in graphic design, used by millions of people. The idea of ​​celebrating the anniversary with a jewel has resulted in new pieces from the Lucky Move collection, launched as a line of lucky jewelry. The small Lucky Move pendant unveils a smile in yellow diamonds in a white pave gold ring.

In its exclusive version, the second jewel of the collection is a Lucky Move XXL necklace, which competes as the most expensive Smiley in the world. Offered with wide chain links, 43 millimeters in diameter the laughing face emerges through the meticulous pavé of several hundred yellow diamonds and white diamonds totaling 7.90 carats. The number 50 of the anniversary is engraved on the back of both necklaces, which commemorate the anniversary edition.

When Smiley decides to celebrate its 50th anniversary, it naturally surrounds itself with brands which share a similar joie de vivre and mischievous spirit.

The third jewel conceived explores the smiley face motif in a different environment. Valérie has revisited one of her latest jewels from the My Move collection. The collection consists of pieces that can be transformed at will thanks to interchangeable bracelets. In her Smiley edition, the bracelet is offered in black rubber on which the Smiley icon is present in different colors: black and white or black and yellow and in various sizes. The jewels are on display in the Messika Parisian boutique on rue Saint-Honoré, but are also available at the Galeries Lafayette Haussmann.

The Impressions of David Morris

//




Born relatively recently, in 1962, the London-based jewelry David Morris immediately stood out for the quality and richness of its collections. In particular, the high jewelery collections often feature pieces of maharaja-like opulence. This is also the case for the Impressions high jewelery collection, presented at the Paris Couture Week. Rare and magnificent precious stones are the real inspiring motif of the collection.

As for the Monsoon necklace, which combines contrasting cuts and motifs to renew a classic collar design: a sketch from 1962 confirms its roots. The jewel also has adjustable closures, which allow you to transform it from a choker or into a sautoir necklace for the evening. The emeralds of the necklace are interspersed with white, shield-shaped, fancy-cut diamonds, specially cut for the design. With their clean-cut corners, diamonds are paired with the gentle curves of cabochon emerald drops, while tiny white gold hinges are hidden behind the gemstones to ensure perfect shape and flexibility.

The collection, however, also uses colored titanium for jewels with a less classic and more modern style. The Evergreen earrings, with 27 carats of emeralds, have almost neon reflections thanks to the green titanium setting, offset by white diamonds. The Tetras bracelet, on the other hand, uses turquoise and diamonds, along with a 10-carat blue Madagascar sapphire.

The jewelry is 100% handmade by Ayala’s local team and is free of nickel, lead or other hazardous materials. This is not a secondary clarification, given that Ayala Bar’s jewels are not in gold, but in silver-plated brass and metal alloys, glass beads, ceramic stones, crystal rhinestones and / or fabrics. But sometimes also elements found in nature. The Indigo collection identified for summer 2022, for example, offers bijoux in different shades of blue or deep pink.

The Sex Bomb of Ness1

There is no denying it: anyone (or almost anyone) would love to be a sex bomb. In short, everyone would like to have an irresistible charm, and maybe be protagonists of the fantasies of others. Better if of a person we like. To achieve the result now you can resort to jewelry. Ness1, the new Italian brand of unconventional jewelry, with particular attention to contemporary addictions (the first collection was called Drug), launches the Sex Bomb collection, defined as “liberating, joyful and irreverent homage to an essential component of life”.

Pendenti Sex Bomb

Beyond the provocative and playful component, the Sex Bomb collection is composed of pendants in 18 and 9 carat white, yellow and pink gold, and diamonds. One pendant, for example, is in the shape of a hand grenade with the inscription Sex Bomb. Another pendant, Have a Blast is instead shaped like a firecracker. Another, however, has the silhouette of a missile engraved with XXX, letters that indicate adult films. In short, unconventional jewels, but which cannot scandalize. Surprising yes, however.

Boucheron, high jewelry is inspired by the maharajas

//




The jewels of the maharajas are part of the collective imagination. And not only those that the kings of the various states that made up ancient India personally wore but, of course, also those of their wives, the maharanis. A charm that Boucheron‘s new high jewelery collection has decided to re-propose in Paris, on the occasion of the haute couture fashion shows. Then there is a story that is intertwined with the collection and concerns the Maharajah of Patiala, Bhupinder Singh, who in the 1920s went to Paris from India with a retinue of security guards and staff, took over 35 suites at the Ritz Paris and placed one of the most impressive jewelry orders of all time at Boucheron.

He chose the gems (he had had some boxes brought from India). Those selected by Boucheron: 7,571 diamonds, 1,432 emeralds and many others, to create a collection of 149 jewels, in an original Indian Art Deco style. The designs from that collection have now been used or, rather, reinterpreted by Boucheron’s creative director, Claire Choisne, with the Histoire de Style: New Maharajahs high jewelery collection.

To maintain a style suitable for today, the designer had to reduce the scale of the pieces, since the jewels will be worn by women, not maharajas. One of the most spectacular pieces is a transformable necklace with nine cushion-cut Colombian emeralds weighing nearly 40 carats, along with rock crystal. The central motif of the necklace can be removed and worn as a brooch. The necklace also inspired the hoop earrings, with diamonds and emerald drops at the tip of each spoke. The collection also includes the New Maharani Set, with three necklaces in white gold, diamonds, rock crystal and pearls.

Susan Foster no stop

The inexhaustible Susan Foster from the Hampton to the jewelers of half the world, and from the artistic avant-garde to the gems ♦ ︎

There is a area near in New York, famous for hosting many respectable residences for summer and weekend vacations: the Hampton area. On the shore of the Atlantic Ocean, with pine and fir trees behind, several artists have also lived, such as Jackson Pollock and Dutch Willem de Kooning. Close to them Susan Foster grew up, and absorbed the style and philosophy of that art school in her work of jewelery designers. She now lives and works in California.

The smoke of Bibi Van Der Velde

///




There is the smoke of a cigarette, there is that of a fire, there is that (imaginary) that clouds the brain. But try to grab the smoke. Impossible, at least with your hands. The Dutch designer Bibi van der Velde, on the other hand, has succeeded. But to grab the smoke she had to turn it into jewels. Smoke is the name of the new collection of one of the most imaginative creators of jewelry. It goes without saying that the jewels are a poetic transposition of the swirls of smoke.

Anello in oro bianco18 carati con spinello nero
Anello in oro bianco18 carati con spinello nero

The collection’s choker, for example, is designed as a line of smoke that curls elegantly around the neck. It is proposed in two versions: one in simple 18-karat gold and one with diamonds, sapphires and spinels set, or in pure 18-karat white gold and is intertwined with gray stones, composed of white and gray diamonds, white sapphires and gray spinels, for capturing the movement of a plume of smoke. The collection stems from Bibi van der Velde’s explorations of the forms of smoke in sculpture, translated into jewels. An exploration that the designer summarizes in this exchange Oscar Wilde: Do you mind if I smoke? Sarah Bernhardt: I don’t care if you burn.

Tiffany sells its most expensive necklace: 30 million

//




It is a necklace for sheikhs. But sheikhs with a particularly generous bank account for the jewel that Tiffany & Co. has prepared for the Tiffany event in Dubai at the end of November. At the heart of the jewel is a super gem: The Empire Diamond, an impeccable 80-carat oval-cut stone. The diamond, in fact, is valued at over 28 million dollars and, moreover, it is not alone: ​​the World’s Fair Necklace also includes other 578 diamonds for 180 carats (353 round brilliant and 224 baguettes). The necklace thus becomes the most expensive piece of fine jewelry ever created in its 184-year history by Tiffany, valued at $ 30 million.

The jewel also has another peculiarity: it was designed on the model of a historic necklace created by Tiffany on the occasion of the 1939 Universal Exposition. With one difference: the original necklace did not have a large diamond in the center, but an aquamarine from 200 carats. The idea for the new necklace was born after someone in Tiffany found the draft of the original necklace. But it took two years for The Empire Diamond necklace to be designed.

The stone in the center, the Empire Diamond was mined in Botswana, and then cut and polished in Israel, before being used and set by Tiffany in New York City. The stone can also be removed from the necklace and mounted on a ring, with the help of a Tiffany jeweler made available to convert the piece when desired.

In Dubai, in any case, Tiffany also exhibits jewels from her Blue Book. The exhibition space has a color palette inspired by the famous Louis Comfort Tiffany glass lamps. Inside one of the rooms are presented the Loose Stones, which include both the rarest colored gems and those that are part of the brand’s tradition (morganite, tsavorite and tanzanite) that Tiffany introduced over the last century. Another salon is a tribute to the legendary designer of the Maison, Jean Schlumberger, with his fantastic creations full of ingenuity and creativity.

In Wonderland with Mimi So

//




Mimi So, designer of New York, surprises with high quality jewelry inspired by unusual subjects ♦ ︎

Oriental charm, but American accent: Mimi So was born and raised in New York. She is one of those designers who started out with an advantage: she saw precious stones in her parents’ workshop at an early age. Daughter of immigrants from China and Hong Kong. She is the youngest of three brothers. Her parents struggled after emigrating to the United States, but eventually opened three jewelers in Manhattan’s Chinatown. The designer started working in her parents’ shop when she was eight, becoming a third-generation jeweler. Then, she graduated from Parson’s School of Design and started working in an advertising agency. But she returned to the family business, managing one of the stores and creating jewelry for the customers. Mimi opened her boutique on the corner of 5th Avenue and 47th Street in Manhattan’s Diamond District in 1998.

It is not surprising, therefore, that after his studies, Mimi chose to launch the brand with her name. And she wins. So much so that in 2007 Johann Rupert, then president of the Richemont group (in which there are brands like Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Giampiero Bodino) proposed to buy the majority stake in Mimi So. Nothing to do, the designer decided to remain independent and, on balance, did not make a mistake. Her jewels, which often reach four-figure figures, are appreciated and sought after.

Modern and classic at the same time, the style of Mimi So uses colored stones, the designer’s passion, together with unconventional sources of inspiration, like for the collection dedicated to Alice in Wonderland. To give for every day of non-birthday.

Pasquale Bruni adds colors to Aleluià

//




The ancient Hebrew word Alleluia indicates an acclamation of praise to God, but more prosaically it is used as a sign of jubilation: and what happiness can equal that of love, says Eugenia Bruni, creative director of the paternal Maison, Pasquale Bruni? Perhaps from this consideration a couple of years ago the idea of ​​the Aleluià high jewelery collection was born (written with only one l and with the accent on the final à). In the jewels of the Maison of Valenza the cries of joy are directed, however, to the elegant portability of earrings, rings and necklaces. Two years later, the Maison has added other pieces: emeralds, pink, yellow and blue sapphires have been added to white and champagne diamonds.

Orecchini Rainbow in oro bianco 18 carati, con smeraldi, zaffiri rosa, gialli e blu
Orecchini Rainbow in oro bianco 18 carati, con smeraldi, zaffiri rosa, gialli e blu

The jewels are developed around the stylized shape of leaves. All the leaf elements of the Aleluià jewels are worked and recessed individually to be then assembled in a second phase, in order to respect the shapes of the leaves and the sharpness of the overlaps. This system also allows you to be able to break down some jewels into different parts.

Diamonds, emeralds and sapphires are used on pink or white gold. The adjustable black velvet bracelet can be connected to the front of the necklace to create a choker, or you can create a long and even richer necklace with the addition of two bracelets. Pasquale Bruni underlines that these processes, in addition to requiring a large amount of hours, can only be carried out by master goldsmiths of great ability and experience. The creative study and realization of each single collection took about a year of work. Aleluià is made to order and takes about two months to produce.

Tiffany gets on Supreme’s skateboard

/




Tiffany gets on the skateboard. Or, better, on that of Supreme, an American clothing and skateboarding brand, which caters to the cultures of lovers of the tablet with wheels, hip hop and youth culture in general. Now Supreme customers can buy Tiffany jewelry in a limited edition and with an offer below demand, to tickle the attention of consumers. On the other hand, the clothing brand had already promoted initiatives with the brands Emilio Pucci, Jean Paul Gaultier and Louis Vuitton.

Target: reach the audience of very young people less fascinated by the history of great jewelry. The collaborative collection consists of a series of silver jewelry and accessories, with pendants and earrings with the Return to Tiffany design design, including a cultured pearl necklace and a bracelet made of stars. All the jewels, along with two key rings, one of which with a removable mini blade, also have the Supreme logo.

Mallary Marks rainbows

She works in Manhattan, New York, in a laboratory on Riverside just across the Hudson River. It is present with an account on Instagram, but does not (at the moment) have a website: Mallary Marks is an exception among the jewelry brands. But this low profile has not reduced its popularity: Mallary Marks jewels are appreciated, sold online on many web platforms. Thanks also, of course, to the quality of the jewels it offers: very colorful, with many gems, cheerful. And inspired by painters like Odilion Redon and Henri Matisse, Mallary’s favorites.

A career that began in 1990, with the aim of designing unique and limited edition pieces, almost exclusively earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Before opening her workshop, the designer studied sculpture, painting, design and metalworking at the Rhode Island School of Design. She has also traveled a lot and experimented enough to identify an original style: she uses stones with often original cuts or simply without facets. She and she is also committed to the cause of the LGBT communities. It is no coincidence that in her catalog there is no shortage of necklaces and rainbow bracelets.

Gems and colors with Oliva B




Children are a source of joy, but also of inspiration. Shari Cuartero, a designer from New York, where she was born and works, must think so, who in 2016 decided to found her jewelry company with the name of her daughter, Olivia B. The jewelry brand also has another peculiarity: it is extremely specialized. In its production, at least at present, you will not find rings, but only earrings and necklaces with pendants. Not only that: all the jewels are made with 14 karat gold and semi-precious gems, with some small concessions to diamonds. The stones are generally faceted and neatly arranged on the jewel. The style is simple, minimal, and the colored gems are at the fore. In short, they do what they have to do.

In any case, Olivia B’s style is not the result of improvisation. Before founding her own brand, Shari Cuartero worked as a designer in the jewelry world for over 20 years, merchandiser and product development, after graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology and learning the technique at Gia. Experiences that allowed her to set up on her own.

Luxury Rudraksha by Alexandra Mor




Alexandra Mor and the rudraksha. You may not know what it is: rudraksha a stone-hard fruit produced by some large evergreen trees of the genus Elaeocarpus. The dried fruit is used to make rosaries for prayer by Hindus (especially Shaiva), but also by Buddhists, Sikhs and Muslims. Not only that: now rudraksha is also an element of high jewelry. But not only. Because the New York-based designer has also decided to use what is called vegetable ivory, that is, the tagua nuts, a product obtained from the seeds of some palm trees carved in the rudraksha style, alongside elements in Indonesian wood and South Sea’s pearls.

In short, high jewelery, but certainly out of the ordinary. The 22-karat yellow gold carved in Bali serves to connect the different pearls: it has motifs of tendrils, leaves and tendrils that intertwine, together with the Padmasana, or lotus flower, a flower that in Asia is full of symbolism. The line of jewelry made with these natural elements also has a charitable aspect: 10% of all profits from sales will go to Space for Giants, an international conservation organization that protects the great landscapes of African wildlife that it contains. elephants need to survive.
