Chanel, harvest of diamonds

Published on July 2, 2016

Few know that Gabrielle Chanel, founder of the homonymous Maison, was a woman who does not disown her peasant origins. Indeed, she had a way of expressing her passion for some rural symbols, as the sheaves of grain. Perhaps also because the collection of ears of wheat anticipated just her birthday, August 19. This rural atmosphere, transformed into jewels, now comes to the Ritz Hotel in Paris, in the Place Vendôme, with a surprise: a performance by Gad Weil, land artist, who brought a small cornfield in the “sacred square” of the jewelry. Inside the Ritz, however, the Chanel Suite shows an other suite, but jewelery, always inspired by the wheat, in gold, diamonds and precious stones. It is including the Fête des Moissons (feast of the harvest in French language), a necklace with fancy diamonds 25-carat yellow with an octagonal pattern, which alludes to the perimeter of the Place Vendôme and other 95 carats colored diamonds in various cuts, to compose the ears of corn. It is an extraordinary jewel composed of 1,200 diamonds weighing 120 carats. Who knows who will be able to afford such a gleaning. Margherita Donato

Orecchini in oro bianco e diamanti con perle di Thaiti

Pearls to Veronica from Recarlo. It is not a gift to a flame of the Maison owner of Valenza, but the name of the new collection that revolves around the pale fruit of oysters. Because the choice of the name has fallen right on Veronica is not known, but certainly the jewels that combine diamond with white or gray pearls can be loved by women with names that have initial from A to Z. Diamonds are made in different sizes are used like pieces of a mosaic that turns into flowers, stems or geometric shapes. In a sense, in contrast with the poise solitary pearl, which has a soft form by definition. The collection includes earrings and necklace in two variants: with de Austrialian or Tahitian pearls.

New puzzle with Mattioli

Published on June 20, 2016

Showroom

Maybe do you want to do (or make to yourself) a gift. For example, a pair of earrings. Ok, but what color? Best to go on the classic yellow gold? Or choose a shade that goes with a particular dress? Yeah, but in this way then the earrings will stand not well with others … A question that Mattioli decided to overcome thanks to Kandinsky, Mondrian and Calder. Are the three artists, masters of abstract art, the inspirers of Puzzle collection. The idea is great fun: combine a pair of earrings, ring, bracelet or necklace with a whole palette of colors with which to transform the jewels. Wood and mother of pearl colored are the components of this gem composed of many elements that can be worn alone, or applied on a bracelet or necklace. There is also a version with paved white diamonds, or a gold version with small dangling earrings, as entry level. The design of the jewels of the collection is a reinterpretation of the historic line of jewelry designed in the sixties. An updated version of 2014 is on display at the Museum of Vicenza jewelery. Box Price: 900 euros. Lavinia Andorno

The water features by Alessio Boschi

Published on June 19, 2016

Showroom

There is all spirit of the Roman Baroque in Alessio Boschi necklace, dedicated to Piazza Navona. We saw it in Basel among Paraiba tourmalines, emeralds and white diamonds that evoke water features, palladium and gold rose that shape mythological figures. The jewel is an architectural and iconographic map, from small details, such as the rectangular plaque hanging from clasp which is like the square commissioned by Pope Innocent X, the area formerly occupied by the Emperor Domitian stadium.

The three blue baguette symbolize the three fountains, but also the three lilies of the Pamphili’s arms, the Pope’s family. On the right, after a succession of concave emeralds Zambia, Mozambique Paraiba tourmalines, white diamonds, here are the Tritons of the Moro’s Fountain, the one who is taming a dolphin and those with shell horns from which flows water. All figures are in palladium 950, and rose gold plated to bring out the plasticity of modeling, such as the mermaid and the god Neptune, the namesake fountain, represented on the left side. But it is in everything that revolves around the imposing Paraiba tourmaline 80.5 carat and cut into pillow, where the spirit of Woods coincides perfectly with the definition of the Baroque given by the historian Bruno Zevi: a free spirit and a creative attitude. Plus the overwhelming imagination of an artist jeweler like Boschi.

In fact, the composition revolves around the characteristics of transparency, the stone and the choice to build a narration even on the back of the gem: held by four figures who personify the four rivers of the homonymous fountain in the center of the square. Between the Nile, Ganges, Danube and Rio de la Plata, the frame is engraved on the green background water of tourmaline with the shape of the obelisk, that in reality dominates the sculptural complex surrounded by lilies and a palm, elements of the Pamphili arms. In the same collection, inspired by the fountains, there is a ring with an extraordinary beryl as color and sheen and the Paraiba tourmalines degrade to represent the water foam. Two sculptural compositions, to see the wow effect look at them on Valeria Boschi. Monica Battistoni

Luigino Dal Maso is a mature man, but preserves the diminutive: along with the name did not lose the style that characterizes Dml, acronym that condenses, in fact, the initials of the founder. The story is that of many other companies that make up the Italian jewelery market: the small workshop that specializes in time, enlarges customers, wins. It now has a name. Today Dml is a recognized signature for the choice of materials, the particularity of the gems in cuts and color matching. It is a Made in Italy that continues: the jewels are designed and produced exclusively in Italy by the agile hands of its artisans. They are real jewels: gold, natural and precious stones such as diamonds, sapphires and pearls, are used to create the collections, which include successful lines. A couple of examples are those evidenced by the pictures on this page: the Flowers and Gardens collections. In the first case they were used white gold and diamonds, but in sober shades of white and gray. In the second collection, diamonds and burnished gold accompany the topaz. Alessia Mongrando

Sicis, the Big Bang in a necklace

Published on June 8, 2016

Showroom

Sicis has accustomed us to unique pieces. Unique and amazing. This time it is the case of Cosmic Egg. That is not going to end up in a pan, but means “the cosmic forces of nature and regeneration by means of them.” The jewel is designed and manufactured by the Atelier Sicis: the company of Ravenna, it should be remembered, is specialized in mosaics and micromosaics. A processing technique for this very complicated and rather rare. But this series, in addition to being complicated to implement, it is also valuable: it is composed of over 900 diamonds (totaling 9.25 carats) and 1200 sapphires (for 23,22 carats), seven Tanzanite cabochon of 43.77 carats. The tanzanite, a recently discovered stone considered to get good luck, is extremely rare and sought after for its color, an intense blue that changes when viewed from different angles. The necklace is composed of oval elements surrounded by two irregular ellipses with diamonds and sapphires, which refer to the orbits of the planets. A cosmos, in fact. Sicis also took the opportunity to add an astronomical note: according to cosmologists, over 14 billion years ago the entire mass of the universe was compressed into a volume of about 30 times the size of our sun. A small ball when compared with the entire universe. And this “ball” primordial exploded with the Big Bang and the current universe was born. Which it is now also represented by this necklace.

Pendente Tutti i frutti, con diamanti, rubini, zaffiri

A mosaic of gems on a perfect shape: the egg. Fabergé in 1914 had manufactured one with this technique. It has become one of the most famous jewels. Now the Russian Maison, that is reborned under the Gemfield label, proposes the egg, but shrunk as luxury pendant to hang on the chain of a necklace. Not surprisingly, the group that owns Faberge work in mining. It’s not surprising, therefore, that the egg pendants are covered with rubies, sapphires Mozambique, tzavorites and diamonds, sometimes with the use of a single precious stone, in others with a tutti i frutti mix. The colorful gems are inserted with a with an invisible setting technique. In the Mosaic collection, the colored blocks are stuck like a puzzle next to one another, in tight rows, on a gold structure. A technique that is reminiscent of Peter Carl Faberge, a pioneer in the early twentieth century and author of the famous series of eggs. In particular, The Egg mosaic is one of the Imperial Eggs that the last Czar of Russia, Nicholas II, gave to his wife Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna in 1914. It is made of gold, pearls, rose cut diamonds, green garnet, enamel green translucent, opaque white, pale opalescent pink, pale green and pale sepia. Today is part of the Royal Collection, the art collection of the British royal family. Federico Graglia

In May diamonds bloom in the house Damiani. The new collection of Piedmont Maison is called, in fact, Bocciolo (Blossom). Like flowers that you have to open up, the jewels have a shape that resembles the petals still closed, with a wraparound shape, almost spiral. The Bocciolo ring is inspired by the floral symbolism that often recurred in the favorite creations of Henry Damiani in the thirties. Diamonds, then, in the most precious version in full pavé mounted on white gold. The collection consists of two rings, two necklaces and two pairs of earrings. Collier in diamonds echo the ornamental motif of the collection as a light point or a repeat of buds that seem to bloom like roses. Earrings in the frames are invisible to return all the light of the diamonds. In the rings of the bezels enhance to the maximum the purity of the single central diamond welcomed in a four-jaw chuck system and resting on on a white gold plaiting. It should be added that diamonds are of the best quality: the precise business that are stones that do not betray the “4C”. They are certified stones, and to highlight the uniqueness and guarantee ring personality, you can also affect the diamond a name, a date, a thought or a dedication. Damiani also recalls that triggered a “revolutionary” service in the jewelry world: a certificate that protects the buyer against robbery and theft, from the purchase of each solitaire.

Sicis, collana Arara Scarlet, particolare

The art of mosaics, an appropriate definition for this single piece of Sicis: Arara Scarlet. The company based in Ravenna specialized in construction work with the ancient technique of colored pieces, is also entered in the field of jewelry with some special proposals. One of these is the reproduction of one of the most colorful birds, the Arara. Unfortunately the beauty is also its weak point: this bird has almost disappeared because of human hunting. Worshiped by the Maya as a symbol of strength and courage, lives now in this big necklace linked to the Ara Ara-shaped pendant with wings covered with feathers, that are precious stones ranging from deep blue to green, yellow to bright red. Obviously these tiny gems are inserted with micro mosaic technique: a work to admire, perhaps with the help of a magnifying glass. The jewel, in gold, is set with more than 4 carats of diamonds and 10 carats of sapphires and rubies, with carnelian inlays. Alessia Mongrando
