Marco Bicego in chains with Jaipur




Jaipur is the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan, the 10th most populous city in the country. It is also known as the pink city due to the dominant color scheme of its historic buildings. And some even call it the Paris of India. Finally, Jaipur is also the name of a historic collection by Marco Bicego, who was inspired by the Indian city for the mix of colored stones used for the jewels. Until now. Because the Jaipur collection, which has become one of the most successful of the Venetian Maison, has been renewed over time without eliminating the combination of gems and gold. Now, however, he adds pieces in simple yellow metal.

Jaipur is renewed through the classic form of the chain. What distinguishes Marco Bicego’s intertwined rings? Irregular shapes, a satin finish and links of different sizes joined together. The gold, as in the other pieces of the brand, is engraved by hand by master craftsmen with the ribbed burin technique, which adds a slightly irregular finish to the surfaces. Just like the ancient havelis of Jaipur.

Pandora x Keith Haring collection




Keith Haring, who passed away from AIDS in February 1990, was an American pop artist who transformed spray graffiti in New York into the painterly works contested by galleries around the world. Now the simple and immediate figures of him become a source of inspiration for Pandora, which offers a collection of jewels dedicated to Keith Haring. The collection, in natural silver or plated with enamel designs, repeats the figures of stylized men who were the icons of the American painter. The idea is to address an audience fascinated by the hip hop world. The Keith Haring x Pandora collection consists of eight charms and a bracelet, two rings, a necklace and a pair of earrings.

New Venetian princesses for Roberto Coin




What girl wouldn’t like to be a Venetian princess? The idea appears attractive to a large number of women fascinated not only by the noble title, but also by the atmosphere of the most magical city in the world. And this is the idea behind the Venetian Princess collection by Roberto Coin, which is now being renewed. The collection, presented years ago, has over time added new pieces to its vast catalog. Now it’s the turn of new jewels with malachite and lapis lazuli inserts. The semi-precious stones are set in pink or white gold, accompanied by diamonds and the classic ruby ​​placed inside the jewel (a characteristic of the Maison). Furthermore, next to the gold with twisted thread there is also a process called style titanium.

The style, which is similar to that of the Princess Flower collection, is based on the motif of the four-lobed flower derived from the flowery Gothic used for much of Venetian architecture. This motif occurs in the oldest buildings in Venice in the openings between small close columns, in the openings above quadrilobate openings, in the decorations along the roof line. Jewels, like the palaces of Venice, communicate a sense of wealth and abundance. Worthy of a Venetian princess.

Lo stile, che è simile a quello della collezione Princess Flower, si basa sul motivo del fiore a quattro lobi derivato dal gotico fiorito utilizzato per buona parte dell’architettura veneziana. Questo motivo ricorre nelle costruzioni più antiche di Venezia nelle aperture tra piccole colonne ravvicinate, nei trafori sopra aperture quadrilobate, nelle decorazioni lungo la linea del tetto. I gioielli, come i palazzi di Venezia, comunicano un senso di ricchezza e abbondanza. Degno di una principessa veneziana.

Mosaic cocktail with Antonini




There were several extraordinary things that happened in 2022: from reprehensible events, such as the war in Ukraine, to moments of emotion due to the disappearance of great personalities, but also the exciting new images from space, the (almost) end of covid in many areas of the world, enthusiasm for the protection of the environment. In short, the world is extraordinary, for better or for worse. And jewelry can be extraordinary too. Indeed, if we are talking about Antonini Milano, Maison that has made design its flag, we must speak of Extraordinaire, a name that the creative director Sergio Antonini has provided to his line of high jewelry.

Punk Rock with S’Agapò




There is a luxury that no billionaire can ever buy: age. This is why some bijoux are a complement to that inaccessible luxury that is being young. A luxury accessible, of course, to those who really are young. For them, the Bros Manifatture group proposes the bijoux of the S’Agapò brand, a name that some Greek students not too deeply immersed in the vision of Tik Tok can translate with the expression “I love you”. That said, the S’Agapò brand specializes in very low-priced bijoux lines, where the idea and style matter rather than the materials used.

This is also the case for the Punk Rock Expression line, which brings together a series of unisex steel bracelets, necklaces and stud earrings, with the addition of black PVD coloring and, in some cases, hematite crystals. The style is sober, simple, rock. They are accessories that are easy to combine, and above all within the reach of all savings: true luxury, in fact, is being old enough to wear them.

The snakes of Unoaerre




Poor snakes. These reptiles have a bizarre fate: they are generally hated by women (and also by men), although in the vast majority they are absolutely harmless. Yet, at the same time, women love them. But as long as they are in the form of a jewel. The snake that becomes a bracelet or necklace now also bears the Unoaerre label, an Italian company in the Arezzo district, which traditionally specializes in gold jewelery. In this case, however, the Unoaerre Snake collection is part of the fashion line. And, for this, the jewels are made of gilded bronze.

Luna by Fope with flexible necklaces




Having invented, and patented, an appreciated flexible knitting system also allows Fope some flexibility in design. The Flex’it system, launched 15 years ago, thanks to microscopic 18-karat gold springs inserted in the weave of the mesh makes Fope’s jewels soft and easy to wear. A feature that, over time, the Venetian company has applied to its various collections. Now it’s the turn of Luna (Italian word that means moon), a new line of jewels which, in harmony with the general gender fluidity, is referred to as unisex.

The jewels of the Luna collection are distinguished by a greater thickness than others, an aspect that does not prevent the usual flexibility. With a surprise: in addition to the bracelets available in yellow, white and pink gold, for the first time even necklaces become extensible, a jewel that usually does not need to stretch. There is a reason: in this way the choker that is worn close to the body can adapt to the size of the neck in a comfortable way, thanks to the exclusive technique adopted by Fope for its jewels.

All the Camilla jewelry




The future queen of England is Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and wife of  king Charles III. You want to know what are her jewels?

What is the collection of jewels of the  new Queen of England, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall? To show the Crown Jewels, and to estimate the value, was time ago the British newspaper Daily Mail. According to a survey of the newspaper, Camilla has accumulated, 12 years after the marriage with king Charles, a considerable collection of beautiful jewelery. For example, a magnificent necklace of diamonds and rubies, which should be a gift from the king of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah, died in January 2015. The series is combined with a bracelet and earrings. A particularly eye-catching piece of jewelry, but brought tastefully, has underlined the British newspaper.

Much of the jewelry are gifts, in particular of Arab sheiks. After a two-day tour in Saudi in 2006, for example, here is a 37 rubies ​​necklace and as many diamonds, with an estimated value of nearly 1 million euro. Two years later came a set of jewels with rubies and sapphires: necklace, earrings and bracelet. Another bracelet is a tribute by the Emir of Bahrain, while a necklace, brooch and belt are the kind of the present ruler of Kuwait.

Obviously, you must add those of the same  Charles, in addition to those of the family. The Duchess, apparently, is particularly fond of his collection of pearl choker (it also owns half a dozen). Curious coincidence: the staples of the necklaces are made with precious and semi-precious belonged to her great-grandmother, Alice Keppel, the last and most famous mistress of King Edward VII. When you say keep family traditions … Anyway, Charles was always amused by the connection between Camilla and the mistress of his great-great-grandfather. So much so that, with the help of jeweler Wartski, the prince was looking to buy jewelry collection that belonged to Alice Keppel. For example, with 120 thousand euros for a tiara of diamonds and rubies that was the great-grandmother of Camilla, acquired at the time by Edward VII in Paris.

Charles, in any case, has bought a pink topaz by Sotheby’s, to be transformed into a clasp for a pearl necklace with three wires. He then donated the earrings Alhambra, symbol of luck, a brooch in the shape of a dancer, and one with the silhouette of dragonfly, all of Van Cleef & Arpels. The inspiration for the dancer is the result of collaboration between the jeweler Claude Arpels and choreographer George Balanchine. The ruby, which symbolizes passionate love, is said to be the favorite stone of Camilla, also because it is not associated with Diana, who preferred sapphires. Camilla has another series (as well as donated by King Abdullah) of rubies and sapphires, worth 3.5 million euro. A pin with emerald drop, which was a favorite jewelry of Princess Diana, is composed of a circle of diamonds with the insignia of three feathers of the Prince of Wales, as a pendant emerald cabochon. Remains a doubt: it was just the pendant of a necklace of Diana, it has reappeared in the form of a brooch on the lapel of the Duchess?

In 2006 Camilla has also received a necklace decorated with sapphires and emeralds, valued at more than 1 million euro. The Snake Necklace is a gift of Charles in 2001, four years before their marriage: it consists of round diamonds and emerald cut, in a platinum setting. Then there is the engagement ring by 250 thousand euro: belonged to Carlo’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. This ring with diamonds, art deco, it was estimated 250 thousand euro.
The brooch Ladies of North Wales is another element of the collection that belonged to the Queen Mother. The brooch of Hesse diamonds, diamonds and sapphires, has a long history: it was given to Queen Victoria from grandchildren Hesse, Germany, for her Diamond Jubilee.

Camilla chose to wear for his 60th birthday the diamond necklace worn by the Queen Mother for the coronation of her husband, in 1937. A necklace commissioned in 1858 by Queen Victoria using two insignia of the Order of the Garter and the hilt of a sword. The original series included 28 stones, and is estimated to be worth around 7 million Euros.

The new life of Pamela Love

/





It’s been a few years since Red Luxury, a jewelry and watch company that designs, manufactures and distributes its brands around the world, bought Pamela Love. The New York brand thus joined the Parisian Maison Reminiscence, also purchased by Red Luxury, which in the meantime has opened offices in New York, Geneva, Dubai and Hong Kong. Pamela Love for summer 2022 proposed the Ad Infinitum collection, in 14-karat gold-plated brass in some cases with the addition of stones such as lapis lazuli, amazonite, but also synthetic coral. Prices remain anchored downwards.

As a true New Yorker, Pamela Love has been able to be creative and enterprising. She started making jewelry in her Brooklyn apartment in 2006. And then he expanded the business to become an established brand. Like so many of her fellow designers (who knows why) she describes herself as “strongly influenced by astronomy, astrology, alchemy”, but also in “modern urban mysticism”, whatever that means. But it doesn’t matter: the jewels she proposes, in 14 carat gold, or simply in plated brass or silver, are successful.

Beware of amber jewelry for children

/




Are jewels with amber pearls dangerous? Some time ago a photo of Gisele Bündchen raised the question. Amber pearls could be harmful to children. Read why ♦

Amber alarm. When the model Gisele Bündchen, years ago, posted a photo of herself and her baby girl on Instagram, a debate started on the Net. The photo showed her baby girl with tiny earrings. But the controversy was not about whether it was the appropriate age for an ear piercing, but about the amber necklace around the girl’s neck. In fact, Baltic amber necklaces have become popular as an alternative treatment to relieve the pain caused by teething in infants. There is actually no clear scientific evidence that a necklace has a positive effect, but advocates say that when heated by the temperature of the child’s body, amber releases a pain reliever substance, which is then absorbed through the skin.

On the contrary, however, there are those who indicate the danger of causing suffocation, especially if children are left unattended. In 2010, Health Canada, the federal department of health, determined that children’s necklaces are a problem, enough to justify a consumer safety warning. So much so that France and Switzerland have banned the sale of necklaces in pharmacies. Suffocation is the leading cause of death for children under one year of age and among the top five for children aged between one and four years. The amber necklaces sellers, of course, reject the accusations: they claim that the necklaces are secure, because the thread knotted between each bead prevents the pearls in the necklace from melting, even if it is broken.

Still, the necklaces are produced and sold without a safety standard and there are no guarantees that any closures of the jewel will not fall apart. Furthermore, the more prudent point out that if the necklace gets caught there would also be the risk of strangulation of the baby. In short, amber is good for the neck of an adult, for safety it is better to leave children alone. Giulia Netrese

Mexico and clouds with Daniel Espinosa

/




Mexico and clouds, Mexico and colors, Mexico and jewels: those of Daniel Espinosa, a designer born in a village with a deep tradition in silverware, the material used for centuries in Central America. Espinosa learned the art of jewelry in Italy, Germany and the Netherlands in the early 1990s. But he fused the modernity of European design with Mexican tradition. In 1997 he launched his first collection. In the Latin country he became a star and also opened a shop in Panama.

But it is interesting to observe his style: the goal of his work is to exalt manual work by Mexican artisans who work with silver in Taxco, his hometown. But it’s not about ethnic jewelry, the craftsmanship gives way to a modern style. Each piece is composed with a bronze or silver base and then treated with baths or covered with gold leaf. In some cases brass is also added to the silver alloy.

Brooke Gregson’s jewelry




London-and Los Angele based designer Brooke Gregson: high-end jewelry with a mysterious flavor. ♦

Brooke Gregson was born in Los Angeles and works between London and California. The designer became famous among the emerging jewelers on the banks of the Thames thanks to a collection dedicated to the constellations, between astrology and astronomy, followed by many others in which the protagonists are colored gems. The Astrology collection is composed of simple pendants in brushed gold, on which small diamonds mark the lines that make up the constellations of the zodiac. It is no coincidence: the designer has in fact also studied astronomy, in addition to the classic gemology that was used to revolutionize the proposal of her collections.

Another collection that has been successful, in fact, is called Planetary, and is also based in this case to the stars, with Martians earrings and crescent moons. Nothing bizarre, you know: also in this case the jewelry is gold and and diamonds, absolutely terrestrial. Another trail route from Brooke is that of silk combined with large stones: there are so several bracelets in which this material is interwoven with gold and combines with large stones like emeralds and diamonds. Speaking of stones: another feature of the brand is to propose unusual cuts, even irregular. Like Nefertiti necklace with a large opal skewed framed by gold and diamonds (it costs 8255 pounds). Her jewelry can be found in some world class shopping in the UK, USA, France, Germany, Japan and Dubai.

Sharra Pagano, life is a theater

//




Sharra Pagano, over half a century of one of the historical Italian jewelery brands and still capable of innovating ♦

Fashion & Jewelry. Or, more correctly, Fashion & Bijoux: the Sharra Pagano brand is associated with the roaring years of Italian fashion, when labels such as Armani, Moschino, Versace were imposed. In 1969 Lino Raggio and Gianfranco Signori launched this brand that still plays with the theatricality of the jewel composed without using precious materials, but precious ideas. With resins, for example, and more rarely with amethysts, topazes, tourmalines, citrine quartz, aventurine, rock crystals, obsidian, garnets, pearls.

But in reality most of the fashion bijoux that have become part of history are glass, plastic and rhinestones. In addition to having collaborated (and still collaborate) with some of the great fashion brands and designers, such as Walter Albini, Enrico Coveri and Francesco Moschino, Sharra Pagano has played a role in the world of theater and lyrical music. Famous fans were the soprano Renata Tebaldi and the historic rival Maria Callas. The brand has always had a recognizable style: jewels with accentuated, showy, almost theatrical volumes, with a curious marriage between Baroque and Art Deco. Large necklaces, tiaras, chandelier earrings: they seem inspired by a life in the front row. They will not please those who want to go unnoticed, but those bijoux are loved from those who aspire to a life as a protagonist.

The company also produces jewelry for third parties: the turnover of licenses weighs 55% and that of the Sharra Pagano brand 45%. Today the brand is owned by Giuseppe Fredella, president of the Italian Fashion Jewelery Association. But the production is still entirely carried out in Italy, in the Milan laboratory, by expert craftsmen who, in some cases, are the children of those who started producing 50 years ago.
