The moths of Stephen Webster

Published on June 29, 2018

The moths of Stephen Webster in the Fly by Night collection: it’s dedicated to the inhabitants of the air but without forgetting the sea ♦ ︎

Stephen Webster, a British designer who has become a sort of myth for many of his colleagues, has chosen to become an example also in terms of environmental sustainability. Stephen Webster, in fact, collaborates with the Plastic Oceans Foundation and donates 10% of all proceeds from sales (and it’s not little) to support their work in preserving the seas. “This initiative is our brand taking a stand for social responsibility. It is well known that I personally have love of all things aquatic and as a consequence, over the years have taken part in several clean ocean and water initiatives. It’s important that no matter how small we play a part in preserving our oceans” explained the London jeweler.
It could therefore be inferred that the great love for water is transformed into collections based on aquamarine, with jewels shaped like waves. But is not so. Indeed, one of the most recent collections is dedicated to the air. Or better, to inhabitants of the air like moths. In fact, the collection is titled Fly by night and consists of pieces with the shape of butterfly-moth. White gold and diamonds are the basic elements. But there are also original solutions, such as the black opal combined with transparent quartz set in white gold. Prices: from about 1000 pounds for the small earrings you go up to 65,000 pounds for the big bracelet studded with white diamonds. Alessia Mongrando

The stars in gold, enamel and diamonds by Colette, a Parisian designer who works among Los Angeles and Mexico City ♦ ︎

Colette Steckel has the stars on her side. In the sense that the stars are one of the elements that distinguishes his production of jewelry. His latest collection, Galaxia Enamel, is no exception: eight-pointed stars in gold are colored with enamel in many shades. The diamonds added to the stars make more precious the jewels (price: from 2000 to 6000 dollars on average). In some cases the small stars form micro colored galaxies, very cheerful.
In fact, Colette Steckel of skies has seen many. Born in Paris (she likes to spell out in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district), the designer has also lived in the Mexico. Now she lives and works in Los Angeles, but also has a boutique at Park Plaza, Mexico City. His first collection is from 1995, after his training at Gia. Her stars have already been worn by other stars like Madonna, Rihanna, Adriana Lima, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba. Alessia Mongrando

Jewels for incredibles

Published on June 28, 2018

The jewels for those who feel invincible and incredibles, like the characters in the animated film Pixar ♦ ︎

Even the jewels can be Incredibles. Just like the characters from Pixar’s new animated film. The Incredibles 2 has, in fact, conquered the box office of the cinemas. So much so that there are those who thought to create a series of jewelry inspired by the film. The author of the collection is the designer Alex Woo, who, in agreement with Pixar, a company that is part of Walt Disney, has designed Incredibles 2 jewels. The collection is entirely made in the city where she was born, New York.
The jewelry line consists of four pendants: the symbol of the Incredibles, a written Powermom, inspired by the super mother Elastigirl, a symbol of power-burst and a hero mask. The jewels are made of sterling silver or 14 carat yellow gold and cost between $ 48 and $ 758. It is not the first collection of jewels that Alez Woo designs for Pixar: the designer of Chinese origin has also designed lines inspired by Coco, Moana and Finding Dory. If you also feel incredible you can buy the jewels by Amazon. Cosimo Muzzano

The choker with diamonds by Anita Ko, a Los Angeles designer loved by Hollywood stars ♦ ︎

Anita Ko is a Los Angeles-based designer who founded her own jewelry company in 2006. She was immediately successful, thanks to the consensus received by a host of Hollywood actresses and stars, such as Huntington-Whiteley, Jennifer Lawrence, Angelina Jolie , Naomi Watts, Jennifer Garner, Kerry Washington, Amber Heard, Charlize Theron, Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson, Rihanna and Johnny Depp. Perhaps the key to success was been to offer jewelry with a moderately innovative design. New, yes, but without exaggerating. Remaining, in short, in the field of classical jewelry. An example is that of this series of choker, short necklaces, which surround the base of the neck. Gold in the three colors white, pink or yellow, with diamonds and, in some models, also a precious stone: sapphire, ruby or emerald. What makes this classic shape new is the processing and composition of the stones. Prices: if you like these chokers, be prepared to spend between $ 25,000 and $ 65,000. Lavinia Andorno

Rings for asymmetrics bridal

The asymmetric rings of the British designer (awarded at Couture 2016) Polly Wales ♦

Are you getting married? You have an engagement you want to seal with a jewel? Take a look at the designer who in 2016 won the Couture Awards in Las Vegas for the bridal category: Polly Wales. If you like her jewelry, you can also buy them online (the headquarters of the Maison are in the UK). Designer and owner of the brand that bears her name, says she prefers an natural “imperfect beauty ” to the mass produced jewelry. Polly studied jewelery at the Royal College of Art, in London, and before that she was focusing on sculpture. But the jewels, she explains, have enabled her to get in touch directly with people. Her style? It’s a mix that also includes Byzantine and Indian jewelry. The shapes of the rings, even the engagement and wedding ones, are slightly irregular, and small stones embedded in the metal are arranged without always having the usual symmetry. But this doesn’t make them seem less valuable: white, yellow or pink gold is matched with sapphires, diamonds and rubies. And even the solitaires are rather original. Margherita Donato

Rivière’s savoir faire

Rivière, orecchini della collezione Savoir Faire

Other jewels from the Savoie Faire collection by Rivière, which presented new pieces with diamonds and sapphires at Couture Show ♦ ︎

Savoir Faire is a French expression that indicates the ability to know how to move, compare and speak in every circumstance. Especially when it comes to relationships between two people. In short, savoir faire is essential to meet the partner’s desire. The Roman Maison Rivière has dedicated to this way of saying a rather large collection of jewels. As happens when the choice meets the taste of the public, other pieces are added to the collection over time. In 2018, in particular, were presented a pair of earrings with gold fringe, a necklace in the same style, and three bracelets that are added to the many variations of the collection: all the pieces use gold, small diamonds to follow the perimeter of the jewels and pearls of different colors.
The combination between the pastel color of pearls and gold is a constant by Rivière. Which, however, does not stop there. At the Couture Show in Las Vegas, for example, the Maison presented new jewelry with the classic combination of diamonds and blue sapphires, jewels that perhaps have a greater impact on the American public. This is also a demonstration of savoir faire. Alessia Mongrando

A few more pieces of Antonini’s Extraordinaire line presented at the Couture Show in Las Vegas ♦ ︎

New unique pieces by Antonini. They are jewels of the Extraordinaire line, which the Milanese Maison has also presented this year at the Couture Show in Las Vegas. The extra pieces at the most important event organized in the USA, high-end jewelry made to measure of the selected stones, are now a classic for the brand of creative director Sergio Antonini. Even if unique pieces, however, the new rings and necklaces do not deviate from what is the stylistic signature, with pavé with stones of irregular size, as in the tested Etna or Matera collections. In addition, however, extraordinaire stones are used, such as the large sugar loaf-cut emerald. Extra pieces also three necklaces with pearls in white or yellow gold, earrings and ring always with emerald set in the center, with oval cut or cushion. Lavinia Andorno

The golden thread of Carolina Bucci

Carolina Bucci, dettaglio della sciarpa arcobaleno

The soft golden fabrics by Carolina Bucci, flexible jewels made with the ancient Florentine handicraft tradition ♦ ︎

There is a Penelope in the jewelry store. And she is Italian. We have already talked about Carolina Bucci other times, but today we want to emphasize an aspect of her jewelery production: gold fabrics. With a scarf-necklace in gold of different colors Carolina Bucci has won one of the Couture Awards 2018. And so the award has also put the spotlight on the production of gold threads of the designer, who is based in London, but comes from a family of jewelers of Florence. And the Florentine technique of working on warp and weft is at the base of the work of Tuscan artisans who make fabrics, not only with 18-karat gold, but also with silk. A mix that it allows to make bracelets, necklaces, but also earrings of different consistency and always soft.
The jewels are therefore yellow, white, pink, black or brown and can often be worn in different ways: wrapped around the wrist or neck. In some cases the mesh can be ordered in the desired length and width. Everything is made by hand, with a result that seems to have emerged from the fifteenth-century paintings in flowery Gothic style, where gold was added to the brilliant colors of the painter.

de Grisogono, Allegra, anello in oro rosa e diamanti

The 25 years of de Grisogono celebrated with new pieces from the Allegra collection ♦
Someone says that life is beautiful. For Fawaz Gruosi, founder of de Grisogono, more than beautiful, the life is Allegra. This is the name of one of the successful collections of the Maison de Genève. But perhaps not everyone knows that Allegra is also the name of Gruosi’s eldest daughter, who became the muse of the collection.
Allegra is de Grisogono’s most enduring collection: it debuted in 2003. This is why it was chosen to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the high-end jewelery brand. Of course, new pieces have been added, as well as a jewel-watch that we have already anticipated in another article. The rings that celebrate the first 25 years of activity play on the shape of the spiral composed of intertwined rings and show the number of the birthday engraved. They are shiny bands of gold studded with precious stones that twist together without ever merging. But as the joy is not always the same, even the Allegra collection is divided into moods and shapes, different, even with the use of bands in colored leather or ceramic. And so, here they are Allegra Glow and Allegra Toi et Moi, which we will discuss in more detail in another article. Giulia Netrese

Orecchini in oro bianco, onice, diamanti

New pieces for the Puzzle collection by Mattioli. Here are the new jewels ♦ ︎
The real puzzle is to guess when the Mattioli Puzzle will be finished. The collection, which takes its name from the concept of small pieces that make up the jewels, continues to accumulate pieces. Every year, in short, Mattioli adds other pieces that are added, like a puzzle that changes in size and that originally was dedicated to three artists such as Kandinsky, Mondrian and Calder.
In addition to the mother-of-pearl and wood colored on rose gold, small diamonds were added in 2018 that follow the profile of the claws that immobilize the puzzle-piece, or the outer circle of the ring that circles around the fingers. The same elements are used to connect the rose gold ovals that make up the chains of the necklaces. Four different colors are used: bright pink, turquoise blue, black and the classic white mother of pearl. Without forgetting that one of the peculiarities of the collection is the possibility for some jewels to change the card and, therefore, to match the best color to one’s dress. It’s a solution. But not of the puzzle. Giulia Netrese

Salvini Minimal Pop, rings and bracelets for a lightweight collection, characterized by flexibility. Images and prices ♦ ︎
Minimal Pop is a Salvini collection that aims at a certain lightness. The Damiani group brand is, in fact, an institution with regard to jewelry for special events (engagement, marriage) or ceremonies, anniversaries. But of course there is also the rest of life. And that’s why Minimal Pop is proposed as a collection to wear only for the pleasure of having a jewel, even if nothing forbids to dedicate the jewel to one of the occasions we mentioned.
The jewelry line includes rings, bracelets and pendants, to which are added the hoop earrings in white gold, rose gold and yellow gold. The bracelets can be combined with pendants with the shape of hearts and butterflies, shamrocks and crosses, embellished with a brillant.
There is also a particular aspect: as regards about tubogas technique, it is a type of work to make the metal flexible and is, it seems, a legacy of ancient Rome. Born in the artisan workshops, the tubogas technique was then borrowed from the mechanical industry and then goldsmith. Indicative prices: white gold ring 245 euro, bracelet 318 euro. Giulia Netrese

Anticoa changes silver to gold

Published on May 26, 2018

Showroom

The ancient Roman Maison Anticoa proposes silver jewelery bathed in 24-karat gold, with precious stones ♦ ︎
It is called Anticoa, but not because it offers jewels from another era. The small Roman Maison takes its name, instead, from its founder, Aldo Antico, who together with Milena Toller decided to follow his passion for jewelry. It is a small company, but with its original path, which does not go from the mass production of jewelry, but from craftsmanship. Not only that: earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets are all made according to a particular method. They are made of silver, but dipped in 24 carat gold. Often, therefore, they seem even more golden than those made entirely with yellow metal. Not only that: the silver covered with gilding is matched with precious and semi-precious stones, from emeralds to sapphires, from quartz to onyx. The silver-based processing also serves to keep the price range anchored down: the jewels hardly exceed 500-600 euros. Anticoa is also part of the Italian jewelers’ patrol taking part in Jck Las Vegas. Lavinia Andorno

From the Etna of Antonini a new creative pouring. This time the precious magma will slide through the rooms of the Couture in Las Vegas. The Milanese brand driven by the creative hand of Sergio Antonini presents, in fact, new pieces of the Etna collection, already shown at VicenzaOro January. The style and technique of the collection recalls that used for Matera, a line that combines materiality with design. The pavé on the surface of the jewels, more dense or more sparse, seems composed of stones, actually diamonds positioned in a seemingly random manner. The new pieces are made of yellow, satin or polished gold, but also in black rhodium-plated silver, reminiscent of lava stone. Bracelets, earrings, rings also have a particular workmanship in their inner part, not visible, which manages to lighten the volume and, therefore, the weight of the jewel. Giulia Netrese

In the old Vienna, a designer follows the family traditiont in the footsteps of her father Sven Boltenstern. No waltz: the style is absolutely modern ♦

Goldsmith and sculptor in the romantic Vienna. But not only think of Strauss waltzes: Sven Boltenstern has created a brand that bears his name, thoroughly modern. He was in activity of the seventies to the nineties, and the jewelry company is now run by his daughter Marie, who has preserved the style and the lightness together with the elegance that is typical of the Austrian capital. Born from the architect Erich Boltenstern, Sven in the Fifties followed the classic route that starts from apprenticeship as a goldsmith, he followed lessons at the Academy of Applied Arts (now University of Applied Arts Vienna) and then go to Paris, where he studied at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs 1956/1957. Ten years after, he had already acquired a reputation beyond national borders, with works exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions. In 1993, the Künstlerhaus hosted a personal exhibition. But, as mentioned, it is now the daughter Marie to sign the jewels of Austrian Maison, which often use the technique of metal (gold) hammered, along with stones like tanzanite and citrine.

Salvini, anello in oro bianco e diamanti

New jewels from the Luminosa collection by Salvini: a necklace and bracelet Seventies style. Images and prices ♦ ︎
The light comes on every dawn and so is Salvini’s Luminosa collection. One of the classics of the Maison is proposed with a new type of setting and the illusion setting, that is a set of small stones that give the impression of a single point of light. The advantage? Many small diamonds mounted around one in the center cost less than a single stone with equivalent carats. And let’s face it, the effect of the worn jewel is almost identical. A bright idea, it is appropriate to say it. As well as the philosophy of the collection of the brand that is part of the Damiani group is precisely that of offering brilliance, thanks to white or pink gold and diamonds.
In addition to the collection of solitaires, necklaces and lobe earrings in 2018 were added a collier and a Seventies style bracelet. Always with diamonds as protagonists. Prices: they vary according to the number of carats of the diamonds mounted on the jewel. Some examples: gold and diamonds ring from 2395 to 3495 euros, earrings from 2795 to 3965 euros.

The Bella collection by Giovanni Ferraris, beautiful like the colors of nature and the dew drops ♦ ︎
What is beauty? The question, at first glance, seems silly. But it is not. First of all beauty is the result of a set of aspects, quality, parameters. Furthermore, it can vary over time from one culture to another. There are, however, some canons of beauty that seem immutable or, at least, are recurring over the centuries and common to different cultures. One of these beauty models is linked to nature and colors. Difficult to find cultures or people who do not find the nuances of a landscape fascinating. Or, as far as jewelery is concerned, the colors of precious stones.
Combine the two concepts: jewelery and aesthetic sense, and here is the Bella collection by Giovanni Ferraris, seen at Baselworld 2018. The Bella collection is, in fact, beautiful. Play on what are the basic colors of jewelry, namely those of sapphires, rubies and emeralds. Blue, red, green. To which are added the white of the diamonds and the shades of gold, white or pink. Even the shape of the jewels recalls that of nature, with drops that form long spikes or small ovals scattered like wildflowers. Note the detail of the drop-shaped setting in burnished gold.

Fish speak with Stephen Webster

Stephen Webster, pendente con lettera A in oro giallo e diamanti

The pendants inspired by the sea animals of Stephen Webster: how to make fish talk ♦ ︎
It is said that the fish is mute. Error. A fish can also compose stories thanks to a pendant necklace, word from Stephen Webster. It is the idea of the London rock-chic jeweler for his younger customers: a collection, Fish Tales. But, more than stories of fish, they are letters of the alphabet linked to a different kind of aquatic animal. The lettere O, for example, stands for octopussy. And so on.
The collection is curiously inspired by the memories of the designer’s childhood holidays spent in Blackheath (south of London) or on the Thames to catch mussels and clams. And to accompany the collection, Webster wrote a short book inspired by his passion for marine life. In short, from the shells to the rest of the fauna that lives under the waves: the 26 pendants are composed of a letter of the alphabet intertwined with the silhouette of a fish in 18 carat yellow gold and diamonds. The price of each pendant is 875 pounds. Lavinia Andorno

Anello in oro rosa e diamanti della collezione Light Wings

The jewelry by Leo Pizzo take off with the Light Wings collection: delicate butterflies made with gold and diamonds ♦ ︎
A woman is free as a butterfly. And the Light Wings collection by Leo Pizzo is inspired by the large light wings of the butterflies. Which has a double objective: that of course, to propose a refined jewel to wear, but also the most symbolic one to sing a hymn to lightness. On the other hand, the art of refinement is light, like the hand of the goldsmiths working for Leo Pizzo. Let’s face it: the jeweler based in Valenza does not make life easy for those who have to compose the Maison’s collections. Between pavé and embroidery, trappings and setting of diamonds, the artisans do not have time to get bored. The result, however, gives merit to their effort.
Light Wings butterflies seem to take flight and the reflections of the golden wings take on colorful shades of yellow, pink and silver when they move. A work of difficult tunnel creates a full and empty effect, giving the jewels a beautiful three-dimensional effect that has always been the trademark of the brand. Just like in the other recent Merletti collection (we have already spoken here). Giulia Netrese

The price of gold in the coming months

Published on April 25, 2018

news/ORO

Are you going to buy a gold ring? Or a gold bracelet? Or do you want to invest in gold? Then you should read this article ♦ ︎
Let’s talk about yellow metal. Indeed, of the price of gold. It is an aspect that affects both those who produce jewelry or intend to buy gold jewelry, and those who want to invest part of their savings in gold, perhaps in ingots.
If you are part of these two categories (jewelry buyers or investors) you are also interested in the World Gold Council forecasts. We immediately explain that the World Gold Council is the organization that deals with the development of the market for the gold industry. The purpose of the association “is to stimulate and sustain the demand for gold, to provide leadership in the sector and to be the global authority in the gold market”. In short, that of the WGC is not a disinterested opinion. But the analysis that the World Gold Council periodically publishes is also rich in information and market indications. So it is worthwhile to be informed.
The four gold gear
So, what will be the price of gold in 2018? Will the jewels cost more or less? And should you invest in gold?
First of all we must know that the price of gold is determined by four factors: the first is the trend of the dollar, the currency with which they generally buy or sell gold on the markets. The second element is global instability: when fears are waged, everyone runs to buy gold and the price goes up. The third factor is, of course, the price of gold compared to other forms of investment. When the price drops it is cheaper to buy it. Finally, the fourth factor is linked to the cash flows conditioned by the international financial situation.
Regarding the first element, the World Gold Council links the trend of the dollar with the tendential increase in interest rates in the US. According to them, however, “the correlation between gold and US rates is decreasing”. And again, “higher real rates have not always led to negative gold yields”. In short, from this point of view the price of gold should not undergo excessive changes. Although we must not forget that the cost of gold continues to rise: it has risen by 8.5% since the Federal Reserve, in December 2017, started raising interest rates. But what matters most: the dollar price against the euro or interest rates? Answer: the dollar. “But there are exceptions”.
Then there is the global instability factor. According to the WGC analysis, “a period of increased geopolitical risk, which has a potential impact on the global economy, could support gold even if the dollar strengthens. Therefore, we believe that investors benefit from the allocation of a strategic allocation to gold as a source of return, diversification, liquidity and portfolio impact “. Translated: the fear for the various wars and tensions (Syria, terrorism, tariff war with China) can attract gold investors even if US interest rates increase.
Conclusion: in the coming months the price of gold should remain stable or tend to rise. We’ll see if the predictions are right. Federico Graglia
