The new Cartier crocodiles

Published on November 25, 2018

An exceptional set of high jewelry signed by Cartier, with 14 Colombian emeralds ♦ ︎

A piece of jewelry that made history has inspired a new exceptional Cartier parure. This is a suite composed of necklace, ring and earrings inspired by the famous necklace made by Cartier in 1975 for the Mexican actress María Félix.

The high jewelry set has a set of 14 emeralds from Colombia.

The emeralds of the jewels, which reflect the shape of the crocodile, weigh a total of 46.45 carats. They are stones considered out of the norm, that is of exceptional beauty and uniformity. To the 14 large emeralds used, they are added with the shape of pearls, always of an intense green color. Also the sculptural aspect of the jewels is valuable, with the crocodile that seems ready to bite those who approach (but it will not happen). Not only that: by stretching the back part towards the tail, the pieces of the necklace can be wrapped around the neck, wrist or finger, or be suspended like a pair of dangling earrings. The legs of the animal, like its scales, have been specially designed to be comfortable even in contact with the skin.

This high jewelry crocodile is inspired, as mentioned above, in the necklace created in 1975 for María Félix.

It is a piece that is now part of the history of the Maison, in the Cartier Collection. The necklace consisted of two completely articulated crocodiles, one with emerald pavé and the other with yellow diamonds. In addition to gold, for this necklace we have used 1023 fancy bright brilliant-cut diamonds of 60.02ct, two cabochon emeralds (eyes), another 1060 emeralds, total weight of 66.86ct, two cabochon rubies (eyes) . Each crocodile is completely articulated and can be worn like a brooch. Lavinia Andorno

Tribal dance for Vendorafa

Vendorafa, bracciale della collezione Tribal

The Tribal collection by Vendorafa: hammered gold together with precious wood elements ♦ ︎

Just a century ago, Picasso, Braque and a large group of artists working in Paris, were fascinated by the art of primitive populations. The wooden sculptures with simple and strong features turned into cubist canvases. A century later the tribal art continues to fascinate the West and sometimes inspires the most disparate objects. For example, jewels.

Primitive art is the idea that gave life to the Tribal collection by Vendorafa.

Anello in oro e Bloodwood della collezione Tribal

The company of Valenza led by Augusto Ungarelli offers jewelry with the classic craftsmanship of gold that characterizes Vendorafa, but with the addition of elements in precious wood. It is, to be precise, a very resistant wood that is commonly called Bloodwood, a variety of eucalyptus found in Central America. The hammered gold contrasts with the dark satin wood rings. The shape of the jewels, moreover, is played on the classic geometric shape of the circle, a recurrent element not only in primitive sculptures, but also in tribal tattoos. Lavinia Andorno

The alternative jewels of Meghan Markle

Rings//bijoux

The jewelry worn by Meghan Markle is from the “alternative” designer Pippa Small ♦ ︎

Meghan Markle is pregnant and it’s the news that has thrilled all the fans of events of the British royal family. But those who follow the Buckingham Palace and its news with assiduousness also monitor the clothes and jewels worn by the protagonists of the royal house. In addition to the diadem of Princess Eugenie, of which we have spoken, the profusion of rings, bracelet and earrings, all in yellow gold (her favorite metal), worn by Meghan Markle on the occasion of the wedding ceremony, has aroused curiosity.

We can unveil the origin of the Sussex Duchess’s jewelry: they are from Pippa Small.

It was probably not a casual choice: Pippa Small, in fact, is not an elite jewelry brand. Indeed, it is just the opposite: it is a brand that brings with it words like sustainability, fairness, respect for minorities. And with this choice, Meghan reiterates her role as a nonconformist woman in the royal family.
Pippa Small, in fact, is a London designer who loves to travel and “was inspired by the many fascinating cultures she met”. He completed a master’s degree in medical anthropology and has since focused his interests on human rights among minorities, indigenous groups. It is not by chance that she was appointed ambassador of the human rights organization Survival International in 2008 and in 2013 she won an Mbe by the Queen for ethical jewels and charity works. He worked with the first fair trade gold mine registered in the world in Bolivia and with the esteemed Fair Trade Fair company based in Kibera, a shantytown in Nairobi. When he started his second life as a designer, he also collaborated with famous brands such as Gucci in Tom Ford, Chloe, Bamford. In 2016 he also won the Ethical Jeweler of the Year award and the prestigious Walpole Corporate Social Responsibility award.

La collana Ivy della collezione Dancing in the Rain

The 120 golden bubbles of the Ivy necklace of the Dancing in the Rain collection by Nanis ♦ ︎

Nanis’s Dancing in the Rain collection does not lose its rhythm. The dance of Laura Bicego, mind and soul of Nanis, has now conceived a new piece of the collection that occupies a special place: the Ivy necklace. It is called this way, it is good to specify it, not because it recalls the leaves of the climbing plant, but because it is enveloping like ivy.

The necklace is composed of 120 light gold boules, with the hand-scratched surface.

While the beads that make up the necklace have that workmanship that makes them bright but opaque at the same time, the closure is, instead, in shiny gold, surrounded by a thin crown of diamonds. Not only that: the stop also serves to adjust the length of the jewel, which then can be worn in different ways: in a single thread, or with a shorter turn and a long pendant. Lavinia Andorno

Garrard still flies with Wings

Orecchini della collezione Wings Embrace

The old English Maison Garrard launches the Wings Embrace collection ♦ ︎

Presentation: George Wickes founded the Garrard jewelry store in London in 1735. This is why the brand claims to be the oldest jeweler in the world. Garrard, moreover, was been the first Crown Jewelery of the United Kingdom. In fact, from 1843 to 2007 he was in charge of the maintenance of the jewels of the British crown as well as creator of many tiaras and jewels still worn by the royal family.
All this to say that when Garrard does something new, it’s intersting. In particular, the London Maison celebrates 15 years since the launch of the Wings collection, which has seen fit to update with Wings Embrace.

Wings are always the dominant motif of the collection, obviously.

They are angelic wings rather than by birds. The Wings Embrace feathers are made with white round diamonds on white gold, but there are also colored stones in the collection, and they can be enveloping when they are closed. For example, in the ring that certainly can not pass unnoticed.
After the Classic, Lace and Reflection lines, in short, here is Wings Embrace. Note that the wings also like His Majesty: in the private collection of the queen there is a brooch with angel wings set in diamonds, rubies and emeralds. The collection also includes a pendant with double feather, earrings and necklace with tassels. Giulia Netrese

Daphne’s jewels with Salvini

Published on October 9, 2018

Rings/COLLANE

Anello contrarié con diamante tagliato a cuore

Salvini’s Daphne collection in the classic style of the Maison: white gold, diamonds, plus a pinch of mythology ♦ ︎

Daphne is a character from Greek mythology. It was one of the Naiads, that is a nymph associated mainly with natural fresh water, such as lakes, springs and rivers. Not only that: Daphne was a nymph capable of making the god Apollo fall in love. In short, Daphne was a lover of clean, fresh, natural water. And irresistible (thanks to the arrow shot by Eros).

How does the nymph Daphne connect to the Salvini collection that has this name? The combination is doubtful. But even in the jewels of the Daphne collection there seem to be crystalline forms, reminiscent of the freshness of the water.

The jewels, in perfect Salvini style, are in white gold and diamonds, with a luminosity accentuated by three-dimensional volumes.

Rings, earrings, colliers have a simple design: the brilliance is obtained with a central diamond surrounded by a crown of other small diamonds. A ribbon of brilliants naturally curled up on itself characterizes the solitaire rings. The collection also includes chevalier and contrarié rings, necklaces with an adjustable length pendant.

Orecchini in oro, diamanti e perle dorate

Stars, moon and galaxies are transformed into pearls in the collection by Autore ♦ ︎

From Australia to the Moon. It is not the space travel of a mission of NASA away, but the most romantic collection signed by Autore. The Italian jeweler who has been transplanting for 40 years in the land of kangaroos has created one of the biggest Maison specialized in pearls. Spheres that are daughters of the sea, but also have the nuanced color of the terrestrial satellite. And these daughters of the moon have inspired the Stars & Galaxies collection.

The pearls then become stars, satellites, planets, which gravitate around the woman who wears them.

Autore, orecchini della collezione Stars & Galaxies

The South Sea pearls are at the center of earrings and necklaces, sometimes surrounded by gold circles covered by small stones, like the rings of saturn, or fixed with frames that have the profile of a crescent moon. Or, again, in a frame that has the classic five-pointed star-shaped geometry. These galactic moons, moreover, just like the stars have different shades, from milky white to a golden hue, to the dark depth of the Tahiti pearls. All that remains is to put on a space suit and prepare for a trip to this precious galaxy. Giulia Netrese

Tiffany doubles the T

Published on October 4, 2018

bracciale/Tiffany/Showroom/COLLANE

Tiffany renews the T collection with new pieces, here are the images ♦ ︎

Once upon a time in Brooklin there was an “emporium of stationery and fancy items”. It was called Tiffany, named after the co-founder, Charles Lewis Tiffany. It was 1837. Since then much time has passed and Tiffany has become the largest group in the world of jewelry. With the ambition to expand the brand in other sectors (we’ll talk about it in another article). Tiffany’s collections, both high jewelry and fine jewelry, are desired and admired all over the world. A little to celebrate itself, a little to allude to New York, the homeland of the brand, in 2015 the Maison launched a collection called simply T.

The T is the initial of Tiffany, of course, and also an icon celebrated in the T collection.

The collection was the great bet of the former artistic director, Francesca Amfitheatrof, replaced last year by Reed Krakoff. That must have appreciated the work of those who preceded it, because it proposes the renewed T collection, but with new and sparkling pieces. The style remained the same, but added pendants, earrings and rings. The jewels are available in the three gold colors, always with small diamonds aligned on the surface of letter T.

Pendente Sphere in oro, diamanti, smaldo

The furniture jewels of the New York designer Zani Gugelmann for her brand Santo by Zani ♦ ︎

Rings that open, like those in the Renaissance that hid poison. Or pendants with moving elements, like petals that bloom and turn into crosses. The style of Zani Gugelmann, designer of New York, does not lack imagination. And she herself has an unusual life: she was a lacrosse champion, a team game popular mainly in the US and Canada, after graduating in jewelry design she worked as Pr, then she went to Peru, the mother’s original country. Finally, she is back in New York, she transforms her hobby, the jewels, into a successful profession. And he founded Santo by Zani.

The inspiration is that of certain jewels of the past, like those of the Victorian era.

The Alma collection, on the other hand, recalls the insidious rings used to hide poisons or messages inside them. In this case, instead, hidden is a small stone, sapphires or tourmalines. The jewels are made in New York with 18 and 14 carat gold, precious and semiprecious stones, enamel and laser engraving. Because before the craftsmanship in the realization comes the CAD design, necessary for such complex jewels, with tiny pins and hinges. Jewels to play with as well as to wear. Margherita Donato

The fairy tale of the twelve princesses seen by Van Cleef & Arpels

Anello Calice de spinelle. Spinello rosa ovale di 6,25 carati, rubini, diamanti

The first of the fairy tales that is part of the collection of high jewelry Quatre contes de Grimm by Van Cleef & Arpels ♦ ︎

If high jewelry is a dream for many, for Van Cleef & Arpels dreams are transformed into high jewelery. Or better, in fairy tales. We have already anticipated the collection of fine jewelry called Quatre contes de Grimm, which interprets four of the fairy tales written by the two brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in 1812 and 1815: The Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Golden Bird, The Three Feathers, Town Musicians of Bremen. But after an overview, it is worth telling separately, as if it were a fairy tale, each of the four jewelry lines.
“Once upon a time there was a king who had 12 daughters of unbelievable beauty. Inseparable, they illuminated the palace and its gardens from morning to night. Then they retired to the room where their twelve beds were lined up.
Every evening the king closed door, and yet every morning he found that their shoes were worn too much because they had danced.” It’s this the beginning of tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses, which has inspired the exceptional jewels of the collection.

Clip Princesse Danica. Zaffiri gialli, diamanti

Of course, in this high-end jewelry line there are 12 princesses. Van Cleef & Arpels transforms them into clips, large brooches of gold and precious stones. Each has a name: for example, Eos retains a strip of the perforated drapery of the dress, made with diamonds, pink and mauve sapphires. Emera has a costume that overlays a blue and mauve sapphire fabric with a pleating of diamonds and emeralds, and hides behind her fan, Danica is dressed with yellow sapphires and diamonds.
The Souliers précieux clip alludes to the nights described in the fairy tale: it has the shape of a lapis lazuli cushion that overlaps a spessartite garnet, troidia cut (similar to half marquise with rounded sides), of 6.91 carats, emeralds, lapis lazuli, pearls of white culture, diamonds. The transformable necklace and the Rubans de princesse earrings are also part of the line inspired by the worn-out shoes of princesses. Two lines of round cut diamonds and a central third formed by baguette-cut diamonds set horizontally underline the delicacy of the décolleté, evoking three silk ribbons: in all they are 22.87 carats. Intertwined with each other, they fall lightly with three important drop-shaped diamonds. The exceptional whiteness (D), the purity (FL) and the quality of the stones (type 2A) recall the mythical ones of the Golconda mines. One of the diamonds, separated from the necklace, can be worn as a pendant on a thin white gold chain, while the other two are added to a pair of earrings.
It seems a tale also the Traversée Étoilée bracelet, which is made of two Burmese cut-off sapphires for a total of 50.03 carats. They have an intense blue color that recalls the waters of the lake, mentioned in the fable of the brothers Grimm, which is crossed every night by the princesses to reach the ballroom. The inside of the bracelet has decorative motifs engraved in gold: a palace under a starry sky on one side and the boats proceeding on the waves on the other.
At last, in this collection there is a ring with a concave shape, it alludes to the cup of wine with a sleeping pill that the astute princesses offer to those who must guard them. The ring has a pink oval spinel of 6.25 carats surrounded by a multitude of suiffé rubies. Alessia Mongrando

The bouquets of Anabela Chan

The new Anabela Chan jewels, among flowers and precious laboratory stones ♦ ︎

If you still have doubts about the ever thinner border between synthetic and natural stones, take a look at Anabela Chan’s jewelry. The designer uses laboratory stones such as sapphires, diamonds or tanzanites to create dazzling cocktail rings, festive necklaces or sparkling earrings. And combining synthetic stones with vermeil, that is silver with a solid gold plating. The latest designer jewels, including the Palm collection and the pieces inspired by flowers, are faithful to this philosophy.
Anabela Chan was born in Hong Kong, but since she was a child she lived in Paris, worked with designer Alexander McQueen, even collaborated on the design of the new World Trade Center in New York, because she is also an architect. Now she works in London. Her jewels have been liked by stars like Lady Gaga and Rita Ora. The creativity of Anabela Chan is, however, a family heritage, since she comes from four generations of directors and filmmakers. Perhaps for this reason too she has a narrative approach: her collections are always descriptions of something, stories, fairy tales. It is no coincidence that one of its most famous collections is inspired by Alice in Wonderland. The degree in architecture, instead, has served her for the meticulous study of the volumes and proportions of her jewels. Although the geometric aspect is surrounded by an exuberant fantasy.

Ippolita is back to being Ippolita. More precisely: the Italian designer Ippolita Rostagno, founder of the Maison that bears her name in New York, has returned to lead the company. Ippolita Rostagno, in fact, has acquired a majority share of the brand and holds the role of chief creative officer as well as Ceo. In essence, Ippolita bought back the brand that it had founded and then sold in 2007 to the private equity fund Castanea Partners.
Ippolita Rostagno launched her jewelery line in 1999. The philosophy of the brand is to create wearable jewelry on any occasion, for a woman active in society. Among other things, Ippolita Rostagno in 2015, has launched an e-commerce site for home decorations difficult to find and centered on luxury craftsmanship called Artemest. With the change of ownership Ippolita has also revolutionized the management of the Maison. What does not change, however, is the style of jewelry, as evidenced by the latest arrivals designed for the autumn-winter 2018. Cosimo Muzzano

Van Cleef & Arpels tells the tales of the Grimms

Oiseau d'or in zaffiri gialli, granati spessartine, onice e diamanti

Four tales by the Grimm brothers told through the high jewelry by Van Cleef & Arpels ♦ ︎

Once upon a time, and there is still now, a jeweler capable of making magic. A fairy tale? No, it is the story of Van Cleef & Arpels, a brand of jewelry that still manages to amaze, especially when it engages with high jewelry. And, in the latest collection, the fairy tale becomes double, because the Maison was inspired by the stories of the Grimm brothers. Fables and brothers, like the Arpels, Claude and Pierre, who went hunting for gems in India. But this is another fairy tale.
The new collection of fine jewelry by Van Cleef & Arpels, instead, is inspired by four stories written by the famous brothers Grimm, who at the beginning of the nineteenth century collected and reworked the fairy tales of the German folk tradition. The four fairy tales turned into jewels are The Twelve Dancing Princesses, The Golden Bird, The Three Feathers, Town Musicians of Bremen. If you do not remember the stories, the jewels of the collection will probably make you want to read them again. By the way, the fantasy world of children’s stories must have a special appeal for the Maison, since four years ago Van Cleef & Arpels was inspired by the fairy tale Peau d’âne (Leather of Donkey) by Charles Perrault.

With these four fairy tales, the knights, ladies and enchanted objects, like the feathers, are transformed with as much magic into necklaces, brooches, rings. As in the tradition of Van Cleef & Arpels also these fabulous jewels have been created with the most scrupulous attention in the choice of gems and in the subsequent creation of jewels. Diamonds, emeralds, sapphires really seem to come out of a precious casket, like those found in fairy tales. Only these are absolutely real. Alessia Mongrando

Noor Fares Superlunary

The organic forms, between nature and laboratory, in the Superlunary collection by Noor Fares ♦ ︎

There are those who believe that the stones possess the power to project magical influences. Among those fascinated by this idea is Noor Fares, a Parisian designer of Lebanese origins. The curious aspect, however, is another: for the new Superlunary collection, Noor Fares has chosen to work with synthetic stones as well. Will the opals born in the laboratory have magical powers? Who knows. “In Superlunary, I work with natural materials and with those born in the laboratory, but essentially the healing properties of the stones are still there, because they concern the intention as much as the material”, argues the designer.
In any case, the collection has an original approach to jewelry. So much so that in order to create Superlunary, the designer turned to Flavie Audi, a specialist artist in glass working, her childhood friend. Together with her, Noor conceived the irregular shapes of the stones, which are inspired by those of the organic world, through 3D design. Synthetic opals, resin, rock crystal (natural) and gold are the main elements of Superlunary. “It was a challenge to work with organic forms, rather than rigid lines and geometries, and create organic fluidity in a stone,” explained Noor Fares. In any case, whether they are made of synthetic or natural stones, jewels have the undoubted advantage of originality. Giulia Netrese

A Gucci creation in silver. It is not, of course, clothes, bags or shoes, but jewelry. They are those of the GG Marmont line, with the double letter G which is one of the strongest and most recognizable Gucci symbols. It is a line of fashion jewelry with accessible cost, that is, at prices ranging from 320 euros for a ring to about 2500 euros for the necklace with flowers and the double G enamelled turquoise, which alternates with flowers, the recurring motif of the collection. Silver has a particular antique finish.
The collection consists of rings, necklaces, and a brooch composed exclusively of double G. The colors are always played on the silver and turquoise tones, except for a ring with the central core, the pistils, in red enamel. The bands of both rings, on the other hand, have the shape of a snake, another form already used by Gucci. Lavinia Andorno

Dior, high-jewelry three time

Anello in oro rosa con diamanti, zaffiri blu e rosa, tormalina e tanzanite al centro

A new collection of high jewelry by the Maison: lace, gold and stones with Dior Dior Dior ♦ ︎

After the gardens of Versailles and the baroque decorations of the great residence of the French kings, here is another noble inspiration from Victoire de Castellane, who leads Dior’s fine jewelry with great expertise. The new collection, in fact, is inspired by the art of lace. After all, it was a type of fabric widely used by those who lived in the court of Versailles. The high jewelry collection includes 65 pieces. And, to testify that the maximum of the novelty is what has already happened, Victoire de Castellane has used Christian Dior’s archival images, choosing between embroidery and arabesques to make necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings rich in emeralds, blue sapphires and rose, rubies, tanzanites, diamonds, etc.
Presented in the Paris haute couture week, the collection had an unusual stage: the Museum of Modern Art, where it was visible for three days by the public, together with a exhibition of Dior’s jewelery production, which celebrated its 20th anniversary: in fact, it was created in 1998. In short, from the aristocratic past to the democratic present.
The decision to draw inspiration from embroideries and lace, however, is also linked to the other soul of Dior, that of fashion. In fact, the effect of the lace recreated with gold threads is present throughout the collection and recalls Christian Dior’s atelier. And the collection underlines this “diorism”: it is not by chance that it has been entitled Dior, Dior, Dior. In short, Dior three times.
Large cocktail rings with colored stones of appropriate size, bracelets with shimmering stones, bracelets where flowers appear among the embroideries and integrate with the light gold embroidery. Jewels worthy of the Dior tradition and the most noble haute couture. Matilde de Bounville

Anello Holika in oro bianco, con rubellite al centro, crisoberillo, tormalina

Coloratura collection by Cartier: 240 incredible pieces of high jewelery ♦ ︎

What is more infinite than a nuance? Unable to count the individual points that make up a hue. On the other hand, it is possible to paint with colors a maxi collection of fine jewelry, as Cartier did: 240 pieces, each a world in itself. The collection is called Coloratura, an Italian word that refers to the virtuosity of lyrical singers. In Italian, in fact, it is a term that is used for a particular kind of singing, those variations, virtuosities, often improvised by the singer with vocalizations, trills and vocal preciousness. In short, something exceptional and pleasant. If you carry this concept into the world of high jewelery, the coloratura of the Coloratura collection turns into a kind of hyper virtuosity of contrasts between Asia and the West, references to Japan, the complexity of India and even the European imaginary of Africa. In this way it is also a universal collection, which meets the taste of different people, with different cultures and sensibilities. And where the coloring is, of course, that of the stones.
For example, there is a choker called Yoshino, reminiscent of sapphires and diamonds with cherry blossoms in Japan. Or a bracelet, Holika, inspired by the famous Holi Indian feast, where everyone is colored, with a 65 carat rubellite in the center, but also tourmaline and crisoberillo pearls, mounted on voluminous circle earrings. Or, again, the Chromaphonia necklace, which is composed of 22 Baroque emeralds from Afghanistan (very rare), and which is inspired by the typical costumes of Hungary. Inspired by Africa is the Kanaga suite, with triangular cut and baguette diamonds, which can be found at the end of a necklace with strands of small spinel pearls. Really a collection for specialists in coloratura, the divas. Margherita Donato

Louis Vuitton presents the new collection of high jewelry, Régalia, which marks the debut of Francesca Amfitheatrof ♦ ︎

It was a surprise to many the release of Francesca Amfitheatrof from Tiffany and the subsequent landing at Louis Vuitton, in April. And, still, many they were curious to observe the first steps of the new creative director for jewelry. Here they are satisfied, even if the new collection of fine jewelry, Conquêtes – Régalia, is likely to be the result at least in part of the previous work, since jewels of that type are made in long weeks of work, preceded by an equally long selection of stones.
Régalia is, therefore, a new chapter in the Conquêtes collection, and is inspired by the signs of kings and emperors, that is to say, to the heraldry (the codes of the coats of arms) and the study of the honors, orders and decorations. That said it looks like something a little dusty. But it’s just an inspiration. In reality it is the classic collection of high-end jewelry typical of Vuitton, where the emblem refers to the Maison, the letter V that repeats itself in the form of gold covered with diamonds and becomes the design around which the jewel rotates, or the four lobes of the flower of the Vuitton logo, always mentioned, but without the brand overwhelming the balance of the jewel.
The collection is quite large: Régalia consists of seven sets and around 60 pieces. A falls of diamonds, of course, but also an accurate research of the colored stones, around which the different pieces are composed. Large emeralds, but also red spinels, mint green tourmalines, large yellow sapphires, tsavorite. They are the same stones to be an emblem, of luxury and wealth. Giulia Netrese

Messika, fairy-tale jewelry

Particolare della collana Collana Bright Falcon

High jewelry by Messika: traditional fairy tales are transformed into incredible pieces. Indeed, fabulous ♦ ︎

Being raised with a menu of bread and diamonds is certainly a diet that only a few can say they have followed. But, probably, it is the perfect diet for a jeweler, judging by the result obtained by Valérie Messika. Diamonds were her childhood playmates and, now, they are her working tools. Better, they are tools for the composition of jewelry that are comparable to works of art.
During the Paris Haute Couture Week, Messika presented other high-end jewelery pieces from the Once Upon a Time collection. “Combining my passion for diamonds with my love for fashion, I rewrote some of the stories that once enchanted me when I was a child,” explained the queen of diamonds. “I reinterpreted the stories of these old tales with an ultramodern vision and avant-garde style inspired by the latest fashion trends”.

Eternal Soul necklace, The Little Mermaid inspired

The Little Mermaid
This is the case, for example, of the Little Mermaid, a large necklace with a large emerald-cut diamond in the center. Also the other diamonds, arranged on about fifty fringes, have the same cut. The fringes move and dance just like the waves among which the Little Mermaid lives.
Another exceptional chapter in the series is the Undine Set. It takes the name of a story from the Romantic period, written in 1811 by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué. The story tells the tragic story of an Undine, aquatic female spirit of Nordic folklore. Messika interprets it as a tribute to the world of high fashion, inspired by the most exclusive trends in the world of catwalks. The set consists of a necklace with emerald and brilliant-cut diamonds, a pair of earrings, a bracelet and a ring. The set inspired by the Snow Queen, however, prefers the pear-cut, to pay tribute to the heroine of the fairy tale, who uses his courage to free himself from the hypnotic winter queen.
Another chapter: The Bright Falcon, which refers to an ancient Russian fairy tale. The necklace of this series is nothing short of spectacular. By eye, more than 300 marquise cut diamonds will be used with an overall design that alludes to the wings of a falcon. For this necklace Messika has used various colors and cuts of diamonds (in the middle there is an emerald cut) and a technique specifically studied in the Maison’s laboratory that allows flexibility and ergonomics.
The collection also includes special pieces such as a ring with marquise cut diamonds, or the Radiant ring, with an amazing fancy yellow diamond of over 7 carats. It is appropriate to say that they are a fairy tale jewelry. Giulia Netrese

Chanel, Coromandel high jewelry

Bracciale Évocation Floreale, in oro bianco, rubini e diamanti

High jewelry by Chanel: the Coromandel collection inspired by Chinese panels decorated with lacquer designs ♦ ︎

If you do not know where the name comes from, here’s the explanation: it’s called Coromandel a type of Chinese lacquer produced primarily for export. It is so called because once it was shipped to European markets through the Coromandel coast of south-east India.
This type of screen was loved by Gabrielle Chanel, who used it in her apartment on Avenue de New York and that of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, in Paris, and then her suite at the Ritz, in her villa in Lausanne, in Switzerland, in 1968.
It is not surprising, therefore, that Coromandel has become over time also a line of jewelry signed Chanel. Thet it has now become a high jewelery collection, on the occasion of the Paris haute couture week.
From the panels with sailing ships, palaces, flowers and birds, in the typical style of Chinese art, the Coromandel collection’s jewels are grouped into four different lines, mixing oriental style, with stylized mother-of-pearl designs, with the rich western tradition, which features cascades of diamonds. Certainly some pieces seem designed for the public of the new rich of China, like the earrings Fleur de diamant, while the Évocation Florale collier seems to evoke the art deco style.
