Baiyang on the fancy wire

Published on August 1, 2022

Orecchini cubici in oro 18 carati e diamanti

The intricate draws of jewelry designed by Baiyang Qiu, a goldsmith of Chinese origin who works in the United States ♦

The roads of design run more and more globally: fantasy has no boundaries. And it does not even have Baiyang Qiu, a goldsmith of Chinese origin who works in the United States, in San Jose, California. Despite being active only for a few years, she has already received several awards (the latest at the Couture Show in Las Vegas 2016) and her work has been described in numerous publications, including the book «The Art of Jewelry: plastic and resin».

Baiyang Qiu has a very personal style: all the jewels are made using very fine gold or platinum, which form jewels that seem wrapped in a spider’s web. In order to make these jewels both light and strong, and to take surfaces of unprecedented curves, Baiyang uses a combination of traditional methods and new technologies. The design of such jewels, on the other hand, can only come first through software and special precision instruments. In short, the mechanics subject to the imagination, but capable of giving dreams and reflections that the normal craft work can not achieve. And also this is jewelry design.

Emanuela Duca and her jewels with roots in Rome and work in New York, between the call of the earth and fantasy.

From Rome to New York: a journey that millions of tourists and a few designers travel. Among these, there is Emanuela Duca, who from the capital of Italy has moved permanently to the capital of the American East Coast, New York, indeed, Manhattan and, now in the Hudson Valley. Even if she now lives and works in the Big Apple, she keeps her roots in the artistic culture of the Peninsula and often returns to Rome, where she followed her training path. She graduated from the Art School of Rome, and then from the European Institute of Design. Not only that: in addition to jewelry, Emanuela was involved in dance, painting and sculpture. Almost a Renaissance artist, when the divisions between the different artistic skills were subtle.

Colibrì earrings — Orecchini in oro 18 carati della collezione Colibrì

The jewels of her new Colibrì collection retain his style and the echo of her origin: works that evoke volcanic ash and the ancient ruins of his Rome. But transformed by the efficient New York air. In short, almost a bridge between antiquity and modernity. The jewels are first carved in wax, then forged with sterling silver and 18-carat yellow gold, shaped and manipulated until they find the right shape. Her technique is so personal that her jewels have also been exhibited and sold at the Smithsonian, the Philadelphia Museum of Arts Crafts or the Museum of Art and Design in New York.

The jewels that smell

The essential oils of aromatherapy combined with bracelets, necklaces and rings from the Californian company Anavia ♦ ︎

Aromatherapy is a practice of the category of alternative medicine that has many followers. Although the real effectiveness of smelling aromas is discussed and questionable (and is not considered medical by doctors), the idea fascinates a good number of people. In fact, a market of essential oils was born for aspiring sniffers. And, in any case, a good smell can be pleasant regardless of the supposed effect on the body.

Those who follow the practice of aromatherapy usually use diffusers and spry. The Californian company Anavia has therefore decided to transform these instruments to spread aromas in bijoux. Nothing precious: they are bracelets, rings, necklaces, bracelets with enameled steel pendants. But they are designed to contain the drops of essential oils necessary for aromatherapy. Drops that are sold together with bijoux, available in 300 different combinations.

Bracciale Dream Catcher per oli essenziali

Each jewel-diffuser includes 12 spare pads in synthetic felt in different colors that are reusable, washable and highly absorbent. Essential oils can be reapplied to the diffuser throughout the day, for an endless sniff.

Rosato with cube colors

Founded in 2004 by Simona Rosato, the eponymous brand has always focused on pendants to add to bracelets and necklaces. With the purchase by the Bros Manifatture group in 2011, the range of jewels offered by Rosato has expanded to include rings, bracelets and earrings. But without forgetting new collections of charms. Now, however, Rosato offers a completely different line, which uses silver in its natural color, or with a PVD rose gold plating. But not only that: the jewels of the Cubica collection stand out for their very geometric design, completely abstract compared to the pendants.

Orecchini a cerchio in argento e zirconia cubica colorata

The name Cubica has a double reference. In fact, it alludes to the precise geometries of the jewels, composed of small elements with a squared volume, but also to the use of cubic zirconia, synthetic stones with the appearance of a crystal, which increase the brilliance of the jewel. Soft band bracelets, band rings and small or long wire earrings, together with silver necklaces make up the collection, which is well suited to even unconventional clothing.

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

Among the stars with Chanel in 1932

Spilla Soleil Doré in oro bianco, oro giallo, diamanti e diamanti gialli

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.

Jewels for the summer: the Naviblue marine-inspired collection by Roberto Bravo ♦

Born in Italy, in Vicenza, as a small goldsmith’s company, Roberto Bravo emigrated to Istanbul years ago. But one of his reference markets is now the Russian one. In short, presented as an Italian brand, it is actually an international brand. And this mélange of cultures and styles is also reflected in its collections, which are influenced by the goldsmith tradition that flourishes in Veneto and the liveliness that resonates in the Grand Bazaar.

One of the workhorses for the summer, for example, is Navibleu, a collection dedicated to the sea, like that of the Bosphorus. 14-karat white gold in natural or black rhodium-plated color, together with small blue and white diamonds, form lucky eyes, or flowers and waves, but also butterflies that rest lightly on a necklace or on bracelets and rings.

Comets of aquamarine

Rings/Showroom/COLLANE

Anello con acquamarina taglio antico di 3,75 carati su oro bianco e diamanti

Summer and the sea are a de facto couple. And the aquamarine goes perfectly with this season, even if it certainly doesn’t clash at other times of the year. In any case, Comete Gioielli offers a line dedicated to aquamarine that can combine a classic style reserved for special moments in life with more informal clothing. Aquamarine, in fact, is a stone that adapts well to all occasions. The jewels proposed by Comete from the Aquamarine Fantasia collection also have another peculiarity: the stones use the so-called antique cut.

In jewelry, the stones classified with this particular method of processing are usually diamonds that have a smoothing of the corners and edges. The aquamarine stones used in the collection therefore have a so-called cushion shape, square and soft at the same time. The stones are set in 18-karat white gold and surrounded by small G-colored diamonds. The jewels in the collection include rings, necklaces with pendants and earrings.

Taste of the sea with Villa Milano

Published on July 16, 2022

bracciale/Showroom/COLLANE

Calypso, according to mythology, was a daughter of Atlas, capable of bewitching Ulysses for seven years. But also it’s the name of the musical genre of the African American culture of the Caribbean islands. And, now, it’s also a collection of Villa Milano, an Italian jewelry with a long history (it was founded in 1876). Calypso, is an evolution of the childhood desire to create jewelry with shells found on the beach. Except that, in the Villa Milano collection, the shells are transformed into real jewels.

They are shells that come from different locations in the world, from the Pacific to the Caribbean, and are associated with gold to turn into pendants. The colors of the shells are natural and untreated. This makes the shades of the shells different from each other, as well as the shape also varies. A plate on the back makes the jewels more comfortable and allows you to add an engraving for a customization of the pendant. The shells are paired with a colored silk cord or gold chains. In addition, they are enriched with precious stones set in the center, such as emerald, sapphire and ruby. Villa jewelry is also famous for its vast catalog of cufflinks: shells are used, therefore, also for this kind of male jewelry (but not only).

The present in the past of Storrow Jewelry

Published on July 15, 2022

COLLANE/Showroom

Ciondolo in oro 14 carati con crisoprasio

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.

Handcrafted bijoux, hand-painted pendants, fairy tale book fantasies: Gabriella Rivalta’s new jewels ♦

In Cascina Centofinestre, an old renovated rural building in the heart of Piedmont, in Monferrato, Gabriella Rivalta revives those atmospheres found in those places where traditions are jealously cultivated. White lace tablecloths, a candelabra, a solid wood table: if you like vintage style, popular culture, almanacs and glass jars with candies inside, you will be fascinated by the small Gabriella Rivalta jewels.

Except that in this case his creations are not only the result of a taste for the jewel of a century ago, but a graft between a popular style, made of angels and flowers, with an artisan creativity, which composes each piece with patience, skills and an inexhaustible series of variations on the theme. From this working method it also follows that each piece is something that is unique. There may be similar jewels, but not the same. Also because the miniatures, which are the heart of the jewels, are made up of experts who paint the individual pieces that are joined to chains and supports in gold. Finally, to protect the small works, it is spread over a transparent enamel. The result is necklaces, pendants, rings: small works of art to wear.

Designer in chorus for Have a Heart

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.

Brosway for the summer

Published on July 12, 2022

/COLLANE

Orecchino singolo in acciaio, smalto e cristallo

Be in tune with fashion, but also with the season. Two objectives that Brosway has achieved with its jewels inspired by summer, the sea, the heat and, at the same time, with the use of a style clearly in line with the trend. That is, in this specific case, with the use of colored, lively, immediately visible enamel, which is added to natural steel or with a gold-colored finish. The necklaces, bracelets, rings or earrings proposed for the summer by the Bros Manifatture brand also, in some cases, use pendants that recall the marine climate, such as the shapes of shells, starfish or fish.

Beside the enamel, in fuchsia or turquoise shades, Brosway uses crystals in nuances, which the brand calls roses or bohemian water, that is bright pink and blue. The necklaces and bracelets are double stranded, while the earrings are sold individually. The price, as always, is super affordable, as expected for the classic beach bijoux.

Little H’s sandwich pearls

COLLANE/perle/Rings

Pearls that hide rubies or emeralds: the jewels of Little H are really different from the others ♦ ︎
The cult of pearls originated in Japan, but not all Japanese consider pearls as an untouchable symbol of the perfection of nature. Pearls can be used, worked, opened, excavated, modified: and that’s what Hisano Shepherd does. Born in Japan, but growing up between Tokyo and Los Angeles, where she resides today, the designer began designing jewelry as a girl. “My grandmother took me to the Takarazuka theater, a female theatrical group and wore her most precious jewels. In particular, I remember his emerald engagement ring and cocktail rings with opals”, says Hisano Shepherd.

Orecchini con perle barocche in cui sono incastonati semi di perle

His contact with jewelry began with the study of goldsmithing techniques during high school and then with specializations between Los Angeles and New York. She then started to practice in a repair and polishing workshop for a fashion jewelry producer, until she focused his creative path and founded his Maison, Little H. Today she works mainly with pearls, round or baroque. But in an absolutely original way: the spherical fruit of the oysters is worked up to house rubies, sapphires and emeralds. They are sea pearls or freshwater pearls, perfectly round or with irregular volume, white or colored. And maybe split in half. A collection, for example, is called Pearl Geode, for which it has also filed a patent application.

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.

Collana Ascending Shadows in oro bianco, diamanti, titanio e alluminio

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.

Rosé del gruppo Blackpink, volto di Tiffany

News for the summer signed by Tiffany & Co. The American company has expanded the catalog of one of its best-known collections, Tiffany City HardWear. The collection was launched in 2017, with the intention of representing the energy and spirit of New York. But also to propose a line of jewels suitable for younger people, in particular for the Millenials, that is, those born between 1981 and the mid-1990s. It is no coincidence that the face accompanying the launch of the new jewels is that of Rosé, the Korean singer of Blackpink, pseudonym of Roseanne Park, 24 years old. But, of course, it is not forbidden to wear Tiffany City HardWear jewelry even if you do not fall within this age group.

Bracciale in titanio, oro rosa e diamanti

In any case, now the collection is enriched with new titanium models, with a new bracelet and necklace in black titanium. It is a very modern design. Each jewel is characterized by a single pink gold link with pavé diamonds. The shape of the two jewels is inspired not only by the design of the previous pieces, but also by a 1971 bracelet unearthed in the archives of the Maison.

The precious Spirit of Louis Vuitton

Published on July 5, 2022

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

Bracciale Raspberry in oro 14 carati, zaffiri, opale

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.

If you are fond of precious gems you must know Caram. It was founded by an Indian, Raj Kumar Jain in 1975, but in Idar-Oberstein in Germany. The company is also present in Hong Kong and Jaipur, the city of origin, which is also the Indian capital of gems. The company specializes in the trade of diamonds, colored precious stones, but also produces high jewelery. To give an idea of what Caram treats, we offer you some images that summarize the brand’s activity.

Starting with the Mughal style necklace (Arab domination of the northern part of India, between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries) with carved emeralds, rubies and sapphires. A composition that does not go unnoticed. The 65-carat cushion-cut Colombian emerald is exceptional in size, quality and color. The ring was also made following the dictates of a style of the past. It is made with platinum and a Kashmiri sapphire: it is natural (unheated) gemstone of 5.09 carats. Other jewels, on the other hand, are made according to classic aesthetic models, with large and high quality diamonds or colored stones.
