The Extravaganza by de Grisogono

/





The new jewels from de Grisogono’s Extravaganza collection: gold and diamonds for an atmosphere of inexhaustible party ♦ ︎

In 2019 the Maison de Ginevra de Grisogono renewed one of its most successful jewelery lines: Extravaganza. While the word extravagant is synonymous with singular, bizarre, sophisticated eccentricity, odd, original, weird, strange, the Extravaganza collection limits itself to accentuating its uniqueness. More than extravagant, in short, it is different from the others, in a positive sense.

Extravaganza is not only not extravagant, but it is also a faithful guardian of memories and traditions: a journey through time that begins with the art déco, the twenties, swing, and charleston. This moveable feast is symbolized by the Radiant line, which is part of Extravaganza. With a leap forward of thirty years, Extravaganza evolves into the Divine line, inspired by the Fifties: ideally you are on board of the Christina O, yacht, mega-yacht in the world belonged to Aristotle Onassis, according to the Maison quotation . In this imaginary party are placed pink or white gold and diamond jewels, or black radiated white gold with emeralds.

Finally, with a new leap in time of 20 years, here is the Tentazione line, inspired by the Seventies. Between the dance at the Studio 54 in New York and the glam rock: even in this case the enveloping forms of the jewels wink at an atmosphere of sparkling fun. But these jewels can go very well even for a quiet evening.

Giovanni Ferraris’ Divine jewelery

/





Giovanni Ferraris’ Divina collection: seven golden circles and precious stones joined together in a single ring ♦ ︎

When something is called divine, it means that it is superlative. And if the adjective is relative to an object, it means that beauty, charm and eternity have merged into a single point. If, on the other hand, a woman is called divine, it is certainly not to diminish her earthly appeal but, on the contrary, to exalt its qualities and at the same time indicate that the compliment is not only directed at its appearance, but as a whole. Because what matters is the overall vision, even if it is composed of different elements that contribute to the final result.

Anello oro rosa, diamanti gialli, bianchi, neri e brown, zaffiri blu.

And this is also the effect of Divina, the collection of Giovanni Ferraris which consists of rings made up of seven bands to be worn on one or more fingers. The rings are made in different colors of gold, with the addition of precious stones and pearls. To tie the rings that make up the jewel are invisible joints that allow the jewel to open. In this case, mechanical ingenuity is also divine.

The price of gold will rise in 2020 too

/





The price of gold will also rise in 2020. Here are the analysts’ forecasts on the yellow metal ♦

The price of gold has been rising for some time. And this is fact that affects both those who make the jewels and those who buy them. And also those who decided to sell them. Will the price continue to rise even in 2020? No one can predict the future, but it is interesting to know that a survey conducted by the Reuters agency among operators in the gold market bets that the price should reach $ 1425 an ounce, against the 1360 of the autumn 2019. An ounce is equivalent to 28.35 grams then, the gold would reach a price of 50.26 dollars per gram. But other analysts (those of the American superbanca Citi) have gone so far as to foresee a value of 2000 dollars within a year or two.

Il prezzo dell'oro negli ultimi tre anni
Il prezzo dell’oro negli ultimi tre anni

It is easy to deduce, therefore, that the price of jewels will also increase, especially those made with many grams of yellow metal. Another consequence could be an increase in jewels using 14 carat gold, that has with a lower percentage of noble metal (only 53.4%) instead of 18 carats.

Lingotti d’oro

Of course there are many factors that could make these predictions vary in one way or another. Usually the price of gold rises when investors perceive a storm. In short, fear is the best friend of gold prices. Wars, environmental disasters, trade tensions: these are all factors that could push the price of gold even higher.

On the contrary, if there were no serious reasons for concern, the price could settle down or fall. When in doubt, many jewelers have decided to focus more on silver, sometime gold plated, to avoid buying a material at a price considered too high. According to some analysts, it has also become cheaper to buy platinum, which according to the Reuters survey next year should be sold at an average of $ 926 per ounce.

And silver? Again according to the analysts questioned, the price of silver should also increase: a price up to $ 16.73 is expected for an ounce compared to the current 15.

Gold shines with Pesavento

Pesavento returns to gold with three new collections made brighter by diamond powder ♦

From gold to silver and back. The Pesavento road brings the brand back to its origins, with new collections that return to the most precious metal. Jewels that shine even more thanks to the new diamond powder, which embellishes 18 carat gold, creating a sparkling sparkle that increases light. Three lines proposed by Pesavento with the use of gold.

The Cocktail collection uses Champagne bubbles as a metaphor for chains and gold spheres covered with diamond powder, combined with gold threads of various lengths for soft necklaces and bracelets as is the style of the Venetian Maison. The Basic collection, also in 18-carat gold, brings back to light the first workings of Pesavento, with a minimalist design, also made more brilliant by diamond dust. Finally, the Love line includes classic rings, simple and with the right balance. And with an attention to the environment and the concept of sustainability. Diamonds, in fact, are created in the laboratory: a trend that is increasingly widespread.

New Dancing in the Rain for Nanis

//





Nanis’ new Dancing in the Rain Aquamarine collection: gold bubbles and gems ♦ ︎

Laura Bicego’s dance in the rain is like a propitiatory rite capable of arousing new stimuli, new fantasies and, last but not least, new collections. Dancing in the Rain, that is a historical collection of the Veneto brand Nanis, over time has become a dance in dance, with a continuous series of variations (or steps, if you prefer) around the same music: gold balls patiently scratched to make the surface pleasantly and minutely irregular, together with materials that alternate from a line of jewels to another.

One of the two novelties presented by Nanis at VicenzaOro september is called, in fact, Dancing in the Rain Aquamarine collection. In this case the spheres that alternate with gold are of light blue stone. But of a specially translucent variety, which perfectly matches the gold which has a vaguely satin effect. On the edge of a piece of jewelry, small diamonds are also lined up which add light and reflections. The dance continues.

RF Jewels looking for Glow

//





The Glow collection of the Roman Maison RF Jewels: gold bands interrupted by diamonds ♦

In the historic center of Rome, in Via Delle Fratte, a stone’s throw from Largo del Nazareno and the church of S. Andrea delle Fratte, is RF Jewels’ pretty studio-lab. The church is also called the sanctuary of the Madonna del Miracolo because, according to tradition, almost two centuries ago it hosted a surprising religious conversion by Alphonse Marie Ratisbonne. Perhaps also due to its indirect influence with this prodigy, the small jewelery Maison has miraculously been reborn from the experience of the Rivière brand. But maintaining skills, tradition and aesthetic spirit.

What the Maison defines as “manpower between ancient school and minimal avant-garde”, therefore has the merit of offering jewels where innovation follows the step of goldsmith traditions, without unnecessary leaps into the void. This does not mean, however, that it does not know how to offer jewels with a modern taste. As evidenced by the Glow collection, which aligns jewels with a modern line, with pink or white gold bands interrupted by marquise or pear cut diamonds. A modern form, but without being weird.

Jewelry and allergy





Do you have jewelry that causes skin allergy or irritation? Here’s how to solve your problem and avoid a nickel allergy ♦

Some argue that allergies are on the rise. As for jewels, unfortunately, they have always been a problem. The reason is simple: there are metals that cause allergic reactions when in contact with the skin. But there are also less dangerous metals for allergy sufferers, such as gold or steel.

Also read: How to avoid nickel allergies 

This is why allergy sufferers choose gold jewelry. The yellow metal, in fact, is hypoallergenic, that is it rarely causes reactions in contact with the skin. But then, why does it also happen who wears a gold jewel to suffer from redness or irritation on the part of the body in contact with earrings, bracelets or necklaces?

Come evitare allergie e vivere felici
Come evitare allergie e vivere felici

Irritation caused by jewellery: this is an allergic reaction called contact dermatitis and is caused when pure gold is not used. It is a problem that, according to some calculations, affects 10% of women. This metal, in its natural state (24 carats) is too soft and deforms easily. For this reason, jewelers have linked it together with other metals, such as nickel. In this way the gold jewel becomes more resistant. In Europe, however, for over 20 years now the EU has issued a directive, which has become law in the adhering countries, which drastically reduces the use of nickel in jewellery. Nickel, however, continues to be present in jewelry made before the new rules. In Italy, for example, the use of nickel must not only be within the limits of the law, but also indicated on the label.

Orecchino con allergia
Orecchino con allergia

However, nickel isn’t the only metal alloyed in jewelry that can cause an allergy. In fact, it must be remembered that all 18, 14 or 9 carat gold jewels are alloyed with other metals. 18-karat gold, for example, means that out of 10 grams of metal, only 7.5 are pure gold, while at 14-karat this drops to around 50%.

How to avoid allergies. How to avoid nickel allergy? The first answer is obvious: if you buy a vintage jewel, ask the jeweler if the metal alloy of the jewel contains nickel.

If you already have jewelry at home that causes skin irritation or allergies, a simple trick is to use nail polish: brushed on the jewelry will avoid contact of the metal with the skin. You have to use the transparent one, of course. This system doesn’t work well with chain necklaces, but it can solve the problem with a ring or bracelet. Just cover the inside of the jewel, the one in contact with the skin, with the enamel. This prevents the nickel from coming into contact with the skin of the hands or wrist. Naturally it is necessary to verify over time that the enamel is not consumed with the use of the jewel.

Gioielleria di Ponte Vecchio, a Firenze
Gioielleria di Ponte Vecchio, a Firenze

Other metals. Another, more expensive way to avoid allergies is to choose platinum or titanium jewelry, two hypoallergenic metals. Copper, recommended by many, is certainly not a real alternative to gold: not only does it not have the same luster (even if it costs much less), but when in contact with sweat, it can ruin and dye the skin. Even silver, as long as it is sterling (92.5% pure) is often tolerated by those who have a nickel allergy, but must be constantly cleaned to prevent blackening.

Damiani’s Notte di San Lorenzo collection

Rings, bracelets and earrings by Damiani inspired by the Night of San Lorenzo, when you look at falling stars ♦ ︎

One of Damiani’s most famous fine jewelry pieces is called Night of San Lorenzo. It is a rigid bracelet in white gold with 327 brilliant-cut diamonds of 35.44 carats. Then there are a pair of earrings and a ring that extend the same line. Now the Maison of Valenza has decided to propose a new jewelry collection that reinterprets the style of that bracelet, but in a version at a more affordable price.

Which translated into jewels become diamonds around soft lines in the three colors of gold. The collection consists of rings, bracelets and earrings with diamonds. The spiral geometry, which wraps the fingers or the wrist also has the advantage of being flexible, comfortable and allowing to wear and remove the jewels more easily. The collection was presented at VicenzaOro September.

Fope renews the Eka Anniversary collection

The Eka Anniversary collection, launched for the 90th anniversary of the Vicenza company, is enriched with new variants ♦ ︎

A modern classic. With subtle changes Fope revisits one of his greatest successes to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the foundation. New models are added to those presented at VicenzaOro January, with a new diamond embedding and a more rounded shape of the washers, which offer a brighter and softer look to the Eka Anniversary line.

The gold of Mattioli with 1To

//





The jewels of the Aruba collection by Mattioli, now also with mother of pearl, which are part of the 1To line ♦ ︎

It is known that Mattioli, has the historic punch 1TO. The punching is the goldsmith brand applied on a precious metal object to guarantee the sign and certify the manufacturer. In short, it is the official guarantee of quality E Mattioli on its jewels can affix the number 1 and the To, which stands for the city, Turin. In fact, since 1860, the Turin laboratory has specialized in the creation of goldsmith and jeweler, with artisans skilled in the processing of gold in full cycle: from the merger of the ingot, to the jewel.

For this reason Mattioli decided to call a series of gold jewelery with the name of 1To.

Mattioli, anello in oro rosa e diamanti
Mattioli, anello in oro rosa e diamanti

This line includes several collections, obviously always made with gold as the protagonist. One of these lines is called Aruba, a name that has nothing to do with the ancient goldsmith tradition, but evokes beaches and the sea of the Caribbean island. But a place that perhaps inspired the design of the Mattioli jewelry by Aruba, given that the round lines of the pink and burnished gold remind us of the atolls and waves of the ocean. Rudy Serra

New pieces from the Écrou de Cartier collection, which are now also with diamonds ♦ ︎

Simplicity is a wealth that cannot be bought. Anyone who thinks so will have appreciated, a couple of years ago, the launch of Cartier’s Écrou collection. The Maison that has a nail among its most famous jewels, a form that gives life to the Just un Clou collection, has continued in the philosophy of luxury of metalmechanic with nuts and bolts, translated into the Écrou collection (a word that in French means, in fact, nut ). Bracelets and rings are made, in fact, with the shape of curved bolts on which nuts are screwed.

Tiffany friend of salmons (and gold)

/




Tiffany (with Apple) wants gold diggers and salmon will live together ♦ ︎

First he announced that the diamonds used for his jewelry are traceable and that they do not come from countries where there are conflicts. Now Tiffany & Co. has also decided to help the revival of disused old mining sites and favor salmons. The American Maison, in short, is the first jeweler that combines re-mining with the restoration of fish habitat.

Salmoni in un torrente dell'Alaska
Salmoni in un torrente dell’Alaska

The initiative is called Salmon Gold, is promoted by the non-governmental organization Resolve, and has another exceptional partner: Apple. The two companies adhere to the reclamation of the Alaskan (USA) and Yukon and British Columbia (Canada) streams, which were used by gold diggers in hunting nuggets and then abandoned. But they are also the rivers where the salmon go to lay their eggs. A natural cycle that, however, is hindered by excavations and accumulations of earth and pebbles caused by the search for the precious metal.

According to the president of Resolve, Stephen D’Esposito, the sites are re-mining, including the stabilization of the streams’ water flow and the restoration of the habitat by adding more natural pools to support spawning of salmon. In short, salmon and gold seekers will be able to live together. The gold that will be found will enter the Tiffany supply chain. Alessia Mongrando

The new hi-tech jewels




Not only gold and silver: this is why super-technological materials are increasingly used in jewelery ♦

Carbon fiber, titanium, nanoceramics, volcanic lava and even the rediscovery of aluminum: the use of new generation technology and materials in the world of jewelry is increasingly common. The reasons are different. A metal like titanium, for example, is durable and very light. Not only: the titanium can also take on different colors without having to glaze or plate it with some electroplating. On the other hand, it is very difficult to work: that’s why it is not easy to find a titanium jewel.

Suzanne Syz, bracciale Asparagus in titanio, oro, diamanti, ametiste
Suzanne Syz, bracciale Asparagus in titanio, oro, diamanti, ametiste

Titanium, in any case, is one of the materials that in recent years has become a symbol of research and innovation in jewelry. Masters like Wallace Chan, Suzanne Syz, or Maison like Giovanni Ferraris, or jewelery companies like Mattia Cielo from Vicenza, who after experimenting with titanium wires to enhance the flexibility of its products, have also focused on carbon. As well as another avant-garde designer, Fabio Salini: he also uses carbon fiber next to titanium.

Anello titanio, diamanti, zaffiri blu
Giovanni Ferraris, anello titanio, diamanti, zaffiri blu

Carbon also is used by the Austrian Maison Adler, which strongly believes in this ash gray material and has created an entire collection, called Eclipse, made up of microscopic woven carbon fibers, with a silky and slightly silver patina. The contrast of the dark background with colorless diamonds and white and pink gold give the jewelry an almost lunar appearance. The Swiss of Bogh-Art, on the other hand, use ultra-thin “sewn” titanium wires, that is compacted, with fiber optic beams at a precise temperature and pressure. The obtained layer is then cut to give shape to the wings and the petals of butterflies, dragonflies and flowers that make up rings and earrings. A way to make classic designs and frames more sparkling.

Another frontier of jewelry is the nanoceramic resin, the result of a mixture of water, butyl alcohol and the often methoxypropanol, it covers like a thin film rings, earrings and pendants from the Mistero collection by De Grisogono, with the advantage of making them unteachable. But it is also used by Roberto Demeglio, or by Vhernier, although in a different way. Finally, the technology can be used to work an ancient material like solidified volcanic lava, still not very widespread, but used by David Yurman, who transformed the debris of an eruption into pearls for a necklace with diamonds.

Another ancient material, but rediscovered thanks to the technology that transforms it, is aluminum. Processed and melted with refined methods that allow it to be colored, even aluminum has turned into a precious metal. Light, resistant, very malleable, it was chosen for example by a young avant-garde designer such as Emmanuel Tarpin, but also experimentally by Vhernier for some necklaces from the Calla collection. And also a Maison of high jewelery like the German Hemmerle proposes jewels like the anodized aluminum earrings with cavities in which aquamarines are inserted. Federico Graglia

The Jewels made in 3D by Nuovi Gioielli





Bracelets, rings and necklaces in gold made with a 3D printer: the innovation of Nuovi Gioielli di Vicenza ♦

Continue the tradition by breaking the tradition. It seems impossible, but not to Nuovi Gioielli, a goldsmith company from Vicenza founded in 1985, which has managed to overcome the contradiction. Nuovi Gioielli, in fact, makes rings, bracelets and earrings according to the classic traditional method, but also 3D printed. It is a real innovation, because 3D printing is usually used to obtain wax molds, which are used to obtain the casings used for gold fusion.

Nuovi Gioielli, instead, with the 3D printer manages to directly produce gold jewelry, adding small metal particles. In this way, thanks to special printers built for this purpose, new shapes and designs are obtained, with a special use of volumes. It is a step into the future of jewelry. Alongside this surprising production activity, the Vicenza-based company also produces the classic handmade gold jewelry with the addition of diamonds and colored gems. Alessia Mongrando

Still rock with Roberto Coin

The new pieces from Roberto Coin’s Rock & Diamonds collection ♦

Transgressive, but elegant. Unconventional, but without forgetting luxury. Alternatives, but without losing touch with reality. The Rock & Diamonds collection by Roberto Coin is aimed at this kind of women. Launched a few years ago, like all the collections of the brand born in Vicenza and a citizen of the world, even Rock & Diamond widens its repertoire with new pieces from year to year. Always respecting the original style.

The collection for the first time combined diamonds with studs, typical of the seventies rock style. But without forgetting elegance: diamonds soften and warm every jewel, even the most aggressive bracelets. You don’t need to be a fan of the heavy metal genre to wear these jewels that are made in gold in three traditional colors (white, yellow and pink). In 2019 new rings were added to the collection and a powerful bracelet with ample use of brilliant cut diamonds. Perfect not just for being on a stage. Alessia Mongrando

New earrings by Tamara Comolli

New earrings are added to the Signature collection by Tamara Comolli ♦ ︎

One of Tamara Comolli’s favorite shapes, along with that of the acorn, is the drop. Preferably of seawater, because the German designer loves waves and beaches. In any case, the Signature collection, launched years ago is inspired by the shape of the drop. Stretched, smooth or covered with diamonds, alone or in the company of other drops, it makes the appearance of the jewels of this collection almost liquid.

In 2019 three new creations were added to the Signature collection: Wave pendant earrings, available in three versions of gold, white, yellow and pink and in as many models. The first, small model, light, consists of two elements, a smaller drop at the lobe and a larger one as a pendant.

In the medium-sized earrings the sequence of the three gold drops is animated by the asymmetry of the diamond decoration (about 0.50 carats). The pavé drops are positioned at different heights. Finally, long version earrings aim for a greater effect. All three are added, of course, to the other pieces in the collection.

Rings and earrings by Gucci GG Running





New jewels from Gucci’s GG Running collection: earrings and rings. These are added to the Gucci rings that can be worn as a wedding ring ♦ ︎

Who runs keeps himself young (if he doesn’t exaggerate). In any case, it makes movement. So, don’t be surprised if Gucci’s GG Running collection renews itself at quick time. For 2019, in fact, the Florentine Maison, that is part of the French group Kering, presented new pieces made in yellow gold or 18 karat white gold and diamonds.

At the center of the jewels there is always the GG logo, inspired by an archival drawing from the 1970s.

The logo is highlighted both in the new hoop earrings and in the new proposal of rings with two crossed design bands, all embellished with small diamonds. Two pairs of yellow gold hoop earrings feature the GG logo, while a pair of white gold hoop earrings is entirely set with diamonds. The three very thin rings have a diamond pattern. The jewels are added to the other jewels of the collection, which includes rings that can be combined or used also as wedding rings. Giulia Netrese
