Adolfo Courrier, the solo is twice

Published on October 5, 2021

Adolfo Courrier’s jewels are now for sale online by Neiman Marcus ♦

Adolfo Courrier actually conceals two people. Adolfo Courrier, of course, designer-looking dark, but also Alessandra Zanchetta. In 2002 the couple founded the company, in the industrious and fertile area of Valenza (Piedmont, Italy) after having spent “several years in the search for expression, looking for a new concept of luxury.” The result is that Adolfo Courrier is a recognized brand in the elite of the new creatives, those who invent something new is not limited to make minor alterations to the tradition.

The processing technique of its jewels is that of the artisan district where the Adolfo designs his works. The ideas on which it works, however, belong only to him, or better, to them. As the necklace with pendant in the shape of skull, but with sunglasses as skier. Or as in the collections that are a tribute to the artists of the Pop Art. The style of the jewels is defined sensual and chic, often communicated with images that recall the world of fashion. But this is not fashion jewelry, simply linked to a passing fashion.

The new balances of Etho Maria

High jewelry and even higher design with Etho Maria, the Greek Maison that loves to communicate little and even less wants to dress its collections with bombastic adjectives, stories, marketing. Simply, Etho Maria presents new collections that have the flavor of quality and innovation. Neiman Marcus, for example, has added new pieces for spring-summer 2021 that summarize the style of the Greek brand. These are rings and earrings made of gold, with the addition of enamel and ceramic (a feature of the Maison) and brown diamonds. The elongated oval shape, with double circle, confirms the typical geometries of Etho Maria, which always finds a balance between innovation and luxury.

The jewels are handmade, with settings that require a consolidated goldsmith skill. In fact, the brand has a rather intense program, given that its innovative collections come out three to five times a year, each with a strong connotation in terms of design.
Etho Maria is a brand founded in 1992 with the company Lithos, a word that in Greek means stone, while Etho Maria sounds like “come here Maria”.

The Damaso contrasts

Dámaso Martínez, jeweler from the Basque Country, to be precise in the city of Bilbao, has become an international brand. Her jewels are also sold by the American luxury chain Neiman Marcus. But, as is often said, behind a successful man there is a woman. And, in this case, it is not even behind it, because a fundamental contribution was that of Consuelo González, Damaso’s wife. Today each piece is designed by Monica Martinez, who is also the company’s CEO.

Damaso founded his brand in 1970. From a representative of jewelry, he made the leap and became a jeweler. From a small family business, over the years it has become a company known also abroad. Nothing to do with an old idea of Spanish craftsmanship, of course. The style instead looks at essential and modern lines, but enriched by the colors of stones and contrasting materials. Like, for example, in the Moon collection, where next to the stones cut in an unusual cylindrical shape, there are pavé diamonds on pink gold.

The American butterflies of Stephen Webster. And a tea strainer ♦ ︎
Stephen Webster is a British jeweler with stores all over the world and an equally global reputation that identifies him as a pop designer. Between the world of celebrity and the commercial one, Webster is not new to propose special collections with the aim to cross all the categories of possible buyers. This is the case of the capsule collection that has been proposed for Neiman Marcus, a chain of large-scale retail distribution of American luxury. The collaboration between Webster and Neiman Marcus includes the new Fly By Deco Drive collection, designed exclusively for the department store.
It is, in fact, the classic collection of pop jewels: 18k gold, white or pink, enamel and diamonds or sapphires. Materials that are used to compose a classic subject of jewelry with very modern lines: the butterfly. If the subject is traditional, the style is very contemporary, even approached to rock’n’roll: it’s this the matrix of the public image of Stephen Webster. Prices: from $ 1,750 for a rose gold and pink sapphire pendant, up to $ 4,500 for white gold and diamond earrings. A curiosity: the collection also includes household items, such as a tea strainer.
