Dada Arrigoni challenge the sin with Malafemmina jewelry collection. But it is not forbidden to wear them.
You want to be the malafemmine (means bad girls)? Wear the Dada Arrigoni jewelry. Joke and provocation, irony and surprise: the designer of Bergamo jewelry plays with the idea of the woman as a symbol of sin. Eve, who in the Bible offers the forbidden fruit, for collective unconscious is an idea not too buried, even if rationally all tend to deny it. In short, the woman as a temptress of passions is the star of Malafemmina collection, which not surprisingly borrows one of the icons of the jewelry, the snake. The diabolical animal, but also seductive, is transformed into a series of jewelry using rose gold, pearl, rock crystal, diamonds, sapphires, jade and emeralds as well. To make more explicit the concept, the snake is with the fateful apple of scripture. Wear the jewels of the collection Malafemmina does not transforms the woman into a sinner, but certainly can attract several looks. If even this is forbidden, you must decide yourself.

Sarah Ho among the peach blossoms
La collection Hidden Garden de Sarah Ho, y compris le jade, les diamants et les couleurs pastel.
She was born in Hong Kong, she grew up in Macau, but she works in London: a brief history of Sarah’s life stages it can already indicate what is the difference from other designers. A life balanced between East and West could only reflect a capacity to go beyond the fences, cages where they often end designers’ ideas. A VicenzaOro January, Sarah was present in the area dedicated to 12 excellent authors of the new jewelry. That, in her case is an artistic construction of a building with elements of historic architecture. As in those children’s games where you use columns, capitals and pediments to build fancy palaces, Sarah chose elements of Art Deco and Viennese design of the early twentieth century to design her small precious works. In Vicenza, for example, Sarah has presented the Hidden Garden, a collection that includes four jewels of Persian Suite, inspired by the botanical illustrations of peach blossoms. One of the most beloved flowers in the East, not by chance, but there’s not mannerisms in her style. Jade, pearl and pastel colors are the blended and sensitive elements of a perfect union between East and West. Lavinia Andorno

Tom Ford locked
The Tom Ford branded jewelery for a lasting love, closed with a solid lock.
How admirably summarizes Wikipedia, “Thomas Carlyle Ford, known simply as Tom Ford (Austin, August 27, 1961), is a fashion designer, American director and screenwriter. He achieved international fame for having taken care of the revival of the Gucci fashion house and for having created the Tom Ford brand.” But he is also a designer who does not leave any clothing look and, more generally, of the outfit. Including jewelry. And, true to its transgressive side, after drawing a phallic pendant (we talked about here), now proposes jewels centered on the lock icon. For the truth is not the first to choose the padlock as a pendant for necklaces, bracelets, and even rings. But Tom Ford closures have their own style. The jewelry are 18 carat gold. They cost from 1000 to 7500 US dollars. Giulia Netrese
Raspini on waves of the Oceano
The new Oceano collection by Giovanni Raspini: silver reflections of the sea with light blue and blue stones.
If you think about the sea waves have silver brushstrokes. The foam of the waves forms a nice contrast for the eyes with the blue and the blue of the waves. Why, then, do not carry these two colors in a jewelry suite? A VicenzaOro January the silver specialist Giovanni Raspini presented a new collection inspired by precisely this natural color pair. Silver, of course, is the heart of the production of Raspini, which manages to turn this material into smaller and surprising forms. The Oceano collection, for example, not only contains the colors of the sea, but it also absorbs the movement. The fusion of metal takes up the wave motion of the waves crashing, and create a quicksilver foam. The sea is represented by small balls of blue agate, angelite (pale blue color) and amazonite (teal). The collection includes a necklace (730 euro) and a pendant (102 euro), two bracelets (the largest 480 euro), two rings (290 euro the larger one) and two earrings (180 euro). Giulia Netrese

The Alfieri & St.John brand has a feature that sets it apart from other brands: assigns to its collections a number that marks a major milestone for the company itself or for history in general. For example, a collection is called 1954, which is the date of the introduction of color television in Italy. The latest collection is called, instead, 1402. But, be careful, you do not think at the year in which there was the Battle of Ankara, when the Mongols led by Tamerlane inflicted a heavy defeat to the Ottoman Turks. It is, instead, a homage to Valentine’s Day, which marks the 14th day of the second month of the year, ie the 02.

The price ranges from 395 to 750 euro, depending on the size of the pendant and carat jewel.

The new property has also decided to press on the accelerator as regards the distribution.

The Ocean by Alessio Boschi
The latest fantastic, clever, ingenious inventions by Alessio Boschi, jewelry that seems born on the waves of the ocean.
How to define Alessio Boschi? A genius? An heir of the Italian Renaissance? An eclectic artist? Maybe all of these things together. Alessio Boschi is a designer who has mastered the oriental art of gentle processing to complicated sets, brings the humanism of the Italian artistic history, has the sensitivity to the choice and composition of its unique pieces. Alessio Boschi is now a star in the firmament of the jewelry and will be even more. As demonstrated by some of his latest creations inspired by the sea, or rather the Ocean (Boschi lives between Thailand and Italy).
The Coral Reef brooch is also a pendant with an invisible fastening system: can be worn as a center piece in a strand of South Sea pearls. The jewel is a tribute to the coral reefs of tropical seas and seems a spray of water crashing into the shore. But, watch it well: there are also coral, sea fans and an octopus which is clinging around an Australian opal, reminiscent of the deep blue sea. What other designers could conceive and then build something like this? Always dedicated to deep sea is the Orange Anemone ring, with its tentacles encrusted diamonds that frame a beautiful Ethiopian opal cabochon, surrounded by orange sapphires and garnets of Mali. This inhabitant of the seas seems attached to a submarine rock full of micro-algae, made with champagne diamonds, orange and yellow sapphires. Inside the ring, the inner work reveals a micro reef, hand carved in white gold and details of different sea creatures.
It is no less fascinating is the Ocean Foam necklace, inspired by the waves crashing against the shore. A blue and green Paraiba tourmaline remembers the nuances of tropical waters, while the white jadeite, and diamonds represent the foam that develops after the impact of waves on the reef. The movement of the waves, decorated with precious stones pendants to suggest the water drops, framing a beautiful imperial jade green. As explained by Alessio Boschi, a game between the most exquisite and traditional Chinese gem and a less conventional style in a creative challenge that never ends: East meets West. But only Boschi manages to get to this. Giulia Netrese
