The goal of Yoko, big signature of jewelery based in London, is to show that the pearl is more modern than ever. And what can be more precious and refined of many gems that, it must be said, they are often not what they seem? To all jewelry by Yoko, by contrast, uses the best pearls in the world, often very large and rare, with gorgeous natural colors. Now the Maison has also meant the launch of new lines of jewelry with a very contemporary style, because a pearl necklace (perhaps long) is, in itself, an object that is enough to make even a princess wearing only a pair jeans. Sure, the quality is not cheap: an object of this type costs a few thousand euro. On the other hand, a necklace of pearls is an investment that lasts. In any case, the pearl touch of modernity also means the use of two fingers rings, earcuff, wide bracelets or jewelry convertible. The top is reached, however, with the masterpieces, jewelery using large pearls and diamonds. In these images some new jewels, in addition to the traditional collections of British brand.

Symphony in blue for Recarlo
Published on
Autumn is blue for Recarlo. The jewelry brand presented its novelties at Milan, and all are tied to one color: Bleu Royal. Color, explanatory Recarlo, “reflects the personality of the brand and becomes a source of inspiration for an aristocratic elegance through which the Maison Recarlo tells his kingship and its roots in Piedmont.” It seems an allusion to the traditions of the Savoy Kingdom of Piedmont, that then was expanded to become the Kingdom of Italy. But this, perhaps, is an excessive extension of the historic decision to consider the color blue symbol, because the tone of the House of Savoy is light blue. In any case, the choice is a nuance among periwinkle blue and peacock. And the sapphire blue, in this case presented in the most cutting oldest known, cabochon cut, that is alternating with facets. The form is also part of deep roots, inspired by the paintings of the fifteenth century. That said, the Royal Bleu is available in various collections: Solitary Anniversary, which is a world apart, more Square, Parentesi and Tattoo.
Today we show you pictures of two of these: the Anniversary collection and Parentesi. The first, as you can tell from the name, is evocative of the history and values of the House, as well as its founder, Carlo Re: tradition, beauty, care of the processing, diamond quality and innovation. Anniversary collection is the heart of the setting to its distinctive feature. And the ring Anniversary Bleu Royal evokes a specific moment in the life of the jeweler: the purchase of his first sapphire. He remains fascinated in front of a stone extraordinary, completely different, a blue sapphire from Ceylon to 1.63 carats, became for him source of inspiration. The ring Anniversary Royal Bleu is a unique piece to celebrate, through the form of the iconic fashion house, the essence of the brand and its ability to reinvent itself constantly, always maintaining a strong identity. It is made of gold gray, just to bring out the nuances of color sapphire. There exists a single copy.
Also in the collection Parenthesis the protagonist is the sapphire cabochon, elliptical, by full volumes. The stone is surrounded by diamonds on white gold which, in turn, are enclosed in a perimeter of faceted sapphires greeted by bezels with black rhodium plated tips: a detail that emphasizes the chromatic shades of sapphire blue. A combination that enhances both gems, shows his preciousness, but in a discreet, elegant.
