The gears of V Design Lab

Published on October 2, 2021

The gears (and more) of V Design Lab, by the young Milanese designer Valeria Vigliani ♦

Sometimes the wheels turn the right way even in jewelry. Especially if the rotation of the gears takes on a meaning: that, for example, of the industriousness of a place. In the specific case, Milan, which is not only the Italian capital of fashion and design, but also of the economy. All this is the environmental background of V Design Lab Jewelery by Valeria Vigliani, fascinated not only by the creativity to be expressed with jewels, but also by the entrepreneurial spirit that reigns in the Lombard city, even though she now lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland. .

In fact, in her curriculum she specifies that she has worked in the marketing of large multinationals in Italy and abroad, and that she lived for three years in Melbourne, the Australian capital of fashion and jewelery. It was there that she began attending the first metalworking courses. Then, she specialized at the Ambrosiana Goldsmith School in Milan. And finally, with a Master in Jewelery Design at the Milan Polytechnic.

Orecchini Santiago in ottone placcato oro

Valeria she describes V Design Lab as a jewelry design laboratory that she loves to experiment with shapes, materials and textures to give life to ideas that spring from everyday life.

For this you use architecture, geometry or industrial elements, such as gears. The designs of the jewelry are first done by hand, with the aim of adding an extra pinch of personality to the wearer. After the gears, which “express the proverbial dynamism and industriousness of a city like Milan”, it was the turn of Pneus which this time is inspired by tires and seals. But, to tell the truth, there are also jewels from the Flower Power collection dedicated to the more usual theme of flowers or Santiago, in the shape of shells.

The jewels are made of brass, galvanized 18Kt yellow, pink, white, or satin gold. Some pieces are made with 3D printing or laser cutting, in other materials such as nylon.

Utopia in Aqua

Published on September 30, 2021

COLLANE/Showroom

Pearls are born from different shell families. But all shells have one thing in common: they live in water. The Aqua collection by Utopia is dedicated to the natural element that surrounds the shells. The idea is to use high quality freshwater pearls for designer jewelry, with a casual look. To compose the jewels, the Milanese Maison uses pearls of different sizes and with different shades of color. The combination of Akoya and Tahitian pearls thus create seductive color combinations. The collection includes sautoir, drop earrings and chocker, for a line of prêt-à-porter jewels.

The Aqua collection stands out from other proposals of the Utopia brand, such as Bouquet, which includes jewels more traditionally combined with pink sapphires or small white and champagne diamonds, to form jewels with rounded shapes. The Utopia brand is owned by Gaia, an Italian company that has been operating internationally for over 70 years in the production and distribution of high quality precious stones, diamonds and pearls, in particular South Sea Pearls.

The little pearls of Moksh

Anello con perle keshi e zaffiro della Bombay Collection

Jewels with surfaces made with hundreds of small keshi pearls: it’s the technique of the Indian Maison Moksh ♦ ︎

Jewels that are a patient, incredible, virtuous composition made with hundreds of tiny pearls. So much so that some jewels seem almost like cloth. It is the specialty of Moksh, an Indian Maison based in Mumbai. It is worth admiring these jewels. Moksh’s origins go back to an ancient family of jewelers. In the thirties Kirtilal Harilal Chokshi founded a gold trading company called Chokshi Kirtilal Jeshinglal. Later, Kirtilal Chokshi’s first cousin, Kamlesh Zaveri and his son Nailesh Chokshi, joined the company. In 1998 Milan Choksi joined the company and created Eternity Jewels. After several steps, Moksh was founded in 2005, with the idea of bringing together cutting-edge design, technology for the creation of jewelery with exceptional precious stones.

But, in particular, Moksh used a technique that uses hand-woven Japanese micro-keshi pearls, often combined with diamonds and colored gems. The end result is an unusual fabric-jewel. The composition of surfaces or decorations with many small spheres is, among other things, a legacy of the ancient Mughal art, also used to enrich the architecture of palaces and mosques. Moksh, however, has chosen to reinterpret this technique in a modern key.

How many liras for Cristina Sabatini

Published on August 25, 2021

Rings/Showroom/COLLANE

Currently the euro is the official currency of 19 of the 27 member countries of the European Union. This means that the old coins used in these countries, such as the mark, the French franc or the Italian lira, no longer exist. Or, rather, they exist, but they are no longer worth anything. Except on a Cristina Sabatini jewelry line. The designer, who has Italian origins, has collected some Italian coins out of circulation, the lire, to transform them into rings and necklaces. These are coins that had an equivalent value today of a few cents and that represent an era that no longer exists. But their color with a prevalence of yellow (it is not gold) makes them suitable for use as a base for bijoux.

Girocollo in bronzo con vecchie monete italiane

Cristina Sabatini works in New York, after a career that began as a stylist in the clothing sector for teenagers. Her success led her to open several high-end boutiques in Brazil before moving to New York to nurture her passion for jewelry design. With the success of her signature jewelry line, Cristina’s brand has now expanded into a line of bags and accessories. And, in case you have any doubts, the price is in dollars.

Stone and Strand’s secret

Published on August 24, 2021

bracciale/Showroom/Rings/COLLANE

Bracciale con zaffiri rosa e orange, peridoto

Why the luxury minimalism of the New York brand Stone and Strand has been successful ♦

Minimalism in New York is called Stone and Strand. The jewelery company founded by Nadine McCarthy Kahane, who grew up in Singapore and London, has staked everything on small forms and lightness, which also mean low prices. The entrepreneur and designer had the idea of a high-end jewelry of this type while pursuing her MBA at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, a university that, among others, was also attended by Donald Trump, Elon Musk (Tesla) and the financier Warren Buffett. Who knows, maybe it will also be for this reason that Stone and Strand is an idea of success.

Stone and Strand produces and sells its own jewelry, but it is also a marketplace for other jewelry designers, as long as they are consistent with Nadine’s aesthetic philosophy. Most jewels are made of 10 carat gold, while diamonds and precious stones used are 100% natural from countries without conflict. A successful part of the New York Maison is also due to the marketing ability, with a website that is full of seductive photos, with jewels worn. The opposite of the vast majority of websites, which are freeezed with a few images of the best jewels in the catalog, often years old. And this is another idea of the founder of the brand, which had the goal of making the world of fine jewelry more cheerful. She has succeeded.

Family jewels often become a professional legacy as well. As in the case of Alice Basteguian, who together with her brother Pierre decided to continue the family business in the field of jewelry. Brother and sister, after learning the secrets of the trade from their father, a designer and also a goldsmith, have founded a jewelry brand based in Los Angeles, Alice Pierre, which uses their names. The proposed jewels are made of 14 karat gold, and although the market segment of this type of ornament is quite crowded, the small Maison manages to stand out with an original design.

Anello con disco in oro martellato e diamante

According to the founder, rings, necklaces and bracelets are inspired by ancient jewelry, architecture and ethnic motifs. Some jewels use a satin surface, others shiny. Gold jewels predominate, although some are embellished with stones such as diamonds and turquoise. An aesthetic philosophy that, Alice emphasizes, was suggested by a vintage ring handmade by her grandfather, the first jeweler of the family.

How many awards for Mike Joseph

COLLANE/alta gioielleria/Showroom

Mike Joseph, the jewels of Mike Saatji’s House gathers a lot of awards. That’s why ♦ ︎

How big can high be the self-esteem of those who receive a lot of prizes? Mike Saatji, creative director of Mike Joseph Jewelery, has probably a self-esteem tall as the sky. And it’s ok. In 2015 Mike won first place in the Gold Jewelery Below $ 20,000 category at the Couture Design Awards in Las Vegas. The award served as a springboard for the creation of the Mike Joseph Jewelery brand, a new chapter in Mike Saatji’s life. In 2018 his Amante series won the Diamonds Above 20,000 category award, again at the Couture Design Awards. And you can guess what won in 2019. Yes, still a Couture Design Awards, but this time in the Best in Haute Couture category.

Although his brand, Mike Joseph, is only a few years old, Mike Saatji has 25 years of experience in designing and manufacturing high quality jewelery. Born in Armenia to a family of jewelers, Mike spent every spare moment of his formative years in jewelry workshops. After a multi-year apprenticeship, studying in several cities, under various masters, he decided to start his own business. But why, however, the Maison has a different name from that of the designer? Simple: Joseph is the name of his brother, with whom he opened his jewelry company. With great success.

Bracciale con maglia Flex'It in oro rosa e diamanti neri

Flexible jewelry, so flexible that even men can like it. In tune with the unisex trend, Fope also expands its range of jewelry to the male world. The Vicenza-based company has chosen to reinterpret some models, especially bracelets, from Fope’s most famous collections, such as Eka Tiny, Solo, Panorama, in a male version. The jewels, in fact, are renamed as Eka for men, Solo for men, Vendôme for men, etc. They are jewels for men, but the substance does not change: the patented Flex’It technology is always in the spotlight, which makes it possible to obtain solid and flexible sweaters at the same time.

Bracciale della linea maschile di Fope in oro bianco e diamanti neri

The jewels are, as for the female version, in the three main colors of gold: pink, yellow and white, with the addition in some cases of washers paved with black diamonds, or in metal of the same color as the shirt. In addition to bracelets, ring and necklace are available. The idea of extending the proposal to the male world who wishes to wear luxury jewelry seems to have been a specific request from the market. But many men feel embarrassed to buy and wear women’s jewelry. With a line specifically dedicated to the male gender, however, the perplexities could be overcome. In the name of flexibility.

The tropics for you with Johanna Ortiz

Orecchini con fibre di palma Iraca, conchiglie

Palm trees, flowers, tropical heat, sea. From the Colombian city of Cali, where she was born, Johanna Ortiz brought with her everything it takes to become a famous designer: her clothes are sold all over the world. Johanna Ortiz studied fashion design in Florida and upon graduation, she returned to her native Colombia, where she founded her own label. The floral cheerfulness, which is her stylistic imprint, is also reflected in the fashion-bijoux that she makes in her hometown. A part of her necklaces and earrings, composed of palm fibers, brass, shells, but also natural emeralds (Colombia is the homeland of green stone) are handcrafted with Iraca palm fibers by the artisan association of Juanita Castilo: a artisan who employs 204 Sandoná artisan women and helps to preserve the artisan heritage.

Collana con palma iraka, cotone, conciglie

Traditionally, men have the task of harvesting Iraca at night during the waning moon, selecting its color and fineness. After cleaning and washing, and sometimes dyeing, women of all ages begin to weave in family workshops. Dyes are extracted from seeds, leaves, branches, beef tongue, walnut, black cedar and minerals to achieve a wide color palette. With this beautiful artisan technique, several pieces have been made that evoke the idea of sea, sand and vacation.

Eugenie’s Venyx launches the Sos Terra

Showroom

Collana in oro giallo e bianco, diamanti, azurmalachite

Saving nature means saving the Earth. The planet needs attention, solidarity, respect. And perhaps even the jewels can help raise awareness of those who still do not pay too much attention to the fate of the environment. These are the assumptions that prompted Venyx, the Eugenie Niarchos brand, to conceive its Mother Earth collection. That leaves no doubt: the jewels, which are mainly necklaces, depict the Earth, like small globes, made of 18-karat yellow and white gold, diamonds and azurmalachite, a natural stone that combines azurite and malachite. Blue and green, the colors of our planet. Another special piece, on the other hand, uses an opal sphere to represent the Earth, with a vaguely lunar effect.

Eugenie Niarchos, who is a trendsetter as well as a designer, worked in the fashion industry before diving into the world of jewelry. She studied at the Gemological Institute of America and worked in the Christie’s Fine Jewelry department. By the way, the name Venyx is a mix of the words Venus and onyx, onyx.

Silver crocodile with Giovanni Raspini

Published on July 20, 2021

Argento/bracciale/Showroom/COLLANE

The word crocodile comes from the ancient Greek krokódilos, which means lizard. But now it also means a silver collection signed by Giovanni Raspini. The scaly skin of reptiles, in fact, has a geometry that has always been an object of inspiration in the fields of fashion, design and jewelry. The new line of jewelry called Crocodile takes inspiration from the previous Moon Crocodile collection, and like the one that preceded it, it develops the texture of the reptile skin on a modular silver crescent element.

The type of metalwork chosen by the Florentine Maison also aims to favor wearability and lightness, despite the thick volumes. As for the Petra collection, the Crocodile line presents a version in natural silver (with a bangle and three third circle with a more spherical shape) next to pieces made of gilded silver, declined in the same models.

The work of Adam Foster, jeweler and designer from the American Midwest ♦

In the collective imagination (for those who do not know it) in the city of St. Louis the blues resounds and the Mississippi river is crossed by large steamboats. Of course, it’s not like that: St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, is a modern and vibrant city. It is also the city of Adam Foster, jeweler who embodies, perhaps, the taste of gold of Middle America, that is not that of New York and even that of the stars of Los Angeles and surroundings. It’s America that loves wealth and loves that wealth is clearly visible. But that is not all. Because Adam Foster also puts his own.

His work and his aesthetic, he says, were influenced by a trip to Italy as a boy.

Anello in oro 18 carati con acquamarina e diamanti

This, he says, has inspired the love for handmade beauty. Back in the US, therefore, Adam studied goldsmith and metal art at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. After graduating, he began working as a jewelry designer in his hometown of St. Louis. In fact, his jewels are as described as a mix between past and present, traditional and contemporary. It combines the techniques of creating Old World jewels, that is Europe, with the latest technologies. And it is this idea of mixing different cultures and models a classic of Midwest creativity. Big rings, big stones, bright colored stones, but also a chisel like those of Italian artisans. It’s America.

Gioia Placuzzi, creative director of Sicis Jewels, followed an enchanted destiny. The queen of the micro mosaic, after graduating in economics from Bocconi University in Milan and specializing in marketing at the Cass Business School in London, followed her passion until she graduated as a Graduate Gemologist at the Gemological Institute of America in London. The art of gems was then put into practice with the jewelry division of the family business, the Italian Sicis, specializing in mosaics.

But Incantate Destiny is also the name of the new high jewelery necklace. It is a special piece in white gold, with diamonds for 14.33 carats, tanzanites for 3.91 carats and rubellites for 4.23 carats. But the even more special aspect, in addition to the richness of the materials used, lies in the meticulous and patient work of composition through thousands of micro mosaic tiles, set to form the jewel’s pavé. No wonder that 300 hours of work were required to make this necklace. It is the destiny of Sicis expert craftsmen.

From mother to daughter with Evaness by Ri Noor jewels

Published on June 8, 2021

COLLANE/Showroom

Ri Noor, a Texan jewelry brand founded in 2016 by Shibani Shinde Patil, launches Evaness by Ri Noor. The new brand is the son of the first in every sense: Evaness, in fact, takes its name from the daughter of Patil, Eva. The suffix ness indicates closeness, kindness, happiness, in the special relationship between mothers and daughters. The debut of the new brand is marked by the launch of 60 charms and pendants made of 14 karat gold, enriched with diamonds, precious gems or inlays of stones such as malachite, lapis, onyx.

Evaness gives the seasoned collector the chance to share her passion for jewellery with the next generation. And it’s not just for mothers and daughters. We love the collaborative collection concept for siblings, cousins, and close friends. Anyone can use our charms to create a tapestry of moments and memories, stories and wishes to be worn and enjoyed in the moment and treasured for years to come.
Shibani Shinde Patil

Patil has focused the launch collection on symbols that lend themselves to unique and personal interpretations, from hearts and stars to suns and clouds. The collections presented for the debut are indicated with the name of Memento, a Latin word meaning remembrance, with pendants in the shape of clouds, sun and hearts, and Remembrance, with a series of stars with variable number of points. Another line of jewelry is indicated as Enchanted, with egg-shaped pendants in onyx or agate, with the addition of diamonds, amethysts and sapphires.

In the collective imagination, the word gypsy is not connected with reality, but with a bohemian concept, that is, of those who practice an unconventional lifestyle. In short, it is a synonym of freedom, of countertrend choices, of recklessness. The fashion that defines itself as gypsy, however, is anything but gypsy: an example is the new collection by Tamara Comolli, a brand founded by the Bavarian designer and distributed in 120 stores in Europe and the United States. The Gipsy collection offers bracelets, pendants and earrings in the three classic colors of gold, with the addition of diamonds or semi-precious stones. The style is cheerful, but not casual.

Bracciale Candy con pavé di diamanti bianchi, rubino, zaffiro blu, zaffiro giallo, zaffiro arancione, tsavorite

The Gipsy collection is, however, in the wake of the other creations of the Maison founded by Tamara Comolli in 1992 and which is inspired by the concept of barefoot luxury (it is no coincidence that it has several boutiques in seaside resorts). Jewelery has always used a wide variety of colored stones, often with the now classic acorn-shaped cut, which distinguishes the brand. Not, however, in the Gipsy collection, which uses gems in the more traditional round shape.

There who tattoos himself tribal motifs on the skin and those who prefer a splendid diamond jewel. There is no contradiction, because the new collection of super jewels just presented by the London jeweler Graff, a Maison famous for its exceptional diamonds, is called Tribal. The jewels in the collection, however, have nothing exotic about them, even if in some aspects the composition of the stones uses motifs inspired by unusual geometries. Graff’s new collection also serves to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Maison, which occurred in 2020, in full covid. But now normal is closer.

Anello con diamante centrale a forma di pera della linea Graff Gateway

The launch of the collection also coincided not by chance with the spring equinox, March 21, symbol of the return to life. In all senses. The jewels of the collection are divided into three lines, with different composition motifs: The Graff Gateway, New Dawn and Night Moon. Each of these lines has a different geometric pattern. Graff Gateway, for example, uses the geometric shape of the arch, used individually, as in the ring that contains a pear-cut diamond, or repeated to form a motif that delimits the jewel.

Bottega Veneta is one of the most exclusive fashion brands. In particular, it is famous for its leather products. His atelier is located in an eighteenth-century villa in Montebello Vicentino (Vicenza, Italy), but is based in Lugano, Switzerland, and offices in Milan. Founded in 1966, the company was acquired in 2001 by the Gucci Group, now part of the French multinational Kering. The creative director of Bottega Veneta is Daniel Lee and one of his goals is to make the brand usable in many different ways.

Collana in argento verniciato e cubic zirconia

If once Bottega Veneta was synonymous with bags, then with shoes and clothes, now the brand features a series of different accessories, including jewelry. As often happens for fashion brands (except for some cases) the most precious part of these jewels is the imprinted logo. For example, a simple silver chain ring, which in an artisan shop you could certainly pay less than 100 euros (or dollars), if branded Bottega Veneta is sold for around 500 euros. It should be added, however, that some bijoux from the Vicenza Maison have a more recognizable design, as in the series of silver jewels painted in pastel, pink or green colors, with the addition of cubic zirconia crystals. In this case, however, the price goes up even more.

The jewels of Wald Berlin, a brand just born, but which has been immediately successful with its bijoux made by women and grandmothers ♦ ︎

Berlin is one of the most dynamic cities in Europe from a couple of decades. After the meeting between East and West Germany, the wind of rebirth has invigorated not only the business, but also culture and design. Thus were born trends and designers who have brought a different contribution, thanks to the international atmosphere that is breathed in the city. One example is the two founders of Wald Berlin, who opened a bijoux boutique. Their proposals, in a short time, were appreciated also outside the German city and now they are also commercialized on platforms like Luisaviaroma.

Behind the Wald Berlin brand are Joyce Binneboese and Dana Roski, a former model and fashion designer.

After starting their work, years ago they also took a rest in which they traveled, for example in Bali, and during the Berlin Fashion Week 2018, on their return, they presented the jewels of the Juicy collection. Their style, in fact, is a mix that reflects their experiences and cultures encountered around the world, from oriental craftsmanship to New York design. The Juicy collection, for example, consists of 19 jewels made of materials including real shells, freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals, silver and gold-plated silver. All the bijoux are handmade in Berlin, by “women and grandmothers”, Wald specifies. Lavinia Andorno

From Capri, an Italian island opposite Naples frequented by celebrities, to the Hamptons and Palm Beach shops of Bergdorf Goodman and Aerin Lauder. The necklaces and ears of Grazia and Marica Vozza, twin sisters and partners in the small Capri jewelery shop, have come a long way. They are worn by Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey but, obviously, also by many other women attracted by the cheerful compositional lightness of the jewels. Which are a separate category, neither bijoux nor classic white gold and diamond contour jewels. In keeping with the atmosphere of the island, Grazia and Marica Vozza prefer turquoise, burnished silver, gilding, ebony, semi-precious stones and colored pearls.

The Maison’s first collection was born from the initiative of Grazia and Marica in 1999. A second boutique also arrived a few years ago, but in Rome, in via Margutta. Necklaces with the warm colors of the Mediterranean can now also be purchased online, but on the American site of Bergdorf Goodman. Now the couple has been joined by Carolina Di Donna, daughter of Grazia, with her own fashion line.

Two years ago the most celebrated Greek jewelry designer, Nikos Koulis, presented his refined Feelings collection. It was a success but, due to the covid that arrived a few months later, the opportunities for a trip to Athens, where Nikos Koulis has his own boutique, have become rare. This is why, now, the jeweler’s work is proposed in a trunk show on Moda Operandi. It should be added, however, that the pieces on sale are renewed compared to those presented at the debut. The idea of the knot always remains present, an element that for a seafaring people like the Greek one is an integral part of culture.

Orecchini in oro giallo e bianco 18 carati, con diamanti a forma di pera

But in the new jewels of the Feelings collection the art deco architectures that characterize the work of the Athenian Maison return. In addition, the classic black enamel appears, which makes the diamonds used for rings, earrings and necklaces sparkle even more. However, the use of the gold snake chain, of the tubogas genus, which replaces the lines used to anchor ships, remains the same.
