Sara Weinstock, California dreaming





The California sun, the yellow of gold, the white of diamonds like the foam on the edge of the waves. These are the three elements that accompany Sara Weinstock, a jewelry designer who works in Malibu, near Los Angeles, even though her jewels are distributed all over the world, including Russia, Azerbaijan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia. Her career started late, after graduating in communication, acting as an actress and modeling, getting married, having two daughters and having separated from her husband. At that point, about 15 years ago, she decided to free her creativity (a family gift: mother and grandmother were painters) and to devote herself to jewelry.

She studied at the Gemological Institute of America and then worked with a jewelry designer, who taught her the practice of the trade. Her first collections were based on gold, colored stones and symbolic shapes, from hand to lucky eye. But in the end she chose the path of jewels unrelated to symbols and icons. Gold and diamonds have also attracted the attention of the celebrities who populate that area of ​​California, such as Amy Adams, Priyanka Chopra, Lupita Nyong’o, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Olivia Munn, Christina Aguilera, Crissy Teigen and Jennifer Lopez.

The gold of Govoni Gioielli





The collections of Govoni Gioielli, from the province of Ferrara to the international fairs ♦ ︎
Processing of gold and silver for third parties, but also signed collections. Govoni Gioielli, a company created in Cento (a small town near Ferrara) by Fabio Govoni in 1980, travels on the double track. In fact, to goldsmith production, was added the production of jewelery products with the Govoni signature. It was not easy for a company far from the traditional poles of Italian jewelry, namely Valenza, Vicenza, Arezzo and Naples. Instead the entrepreneur succeeded.

It is a traditional jewelry, that of Govoni, which does not leave the classic way, even with the search for its own style key. With a journey that has lasted years, the company has managed to be recognized as an important player despite its independent origin. And now participates in the jewelry fairs with the certainty of being considered among the protagonists. The collections are made of yellow, white and pink gold, often with the addition of pavé diamonds or colored stones, with prices in line with the fine jewelry market.

Mathon’s abstractions




The collections by the Parisian jeweler Mathon: gold, diamonds and colored lacquers ♦ ︎
It seems like a story you can read in the books of George Simenon, except that in this case there are no crimes or even the commissioner Maigret. There is, however, Paris. In a courtyard of a classic Parisian palace, a stone’s throw from the Palais, a goldsmith’s workshop was opened in 1931. It is easy to imagine the laborious work of the Mathons, perhaps with a baguette ready for lunch that comes out of the bag.

The breakthrough took place in the seventies, when Roger Mathon took over his uncle’s study and started working for the great Parisian jewelers. In short, the laboratory acquires skills and produces quality pieces. In 1997, the activity took off with Frédéric Mathon, who took the lead and expanded his gaze beyond the Parisian skyline. Among other things, between 1994 and 1996 Frédéric Mathon is also president of the Ecole de la Bijouterie and de la Joaillerie of rue du Louvre and in 2005 he was named President of BJOP, the goldsmith’s union founded in 1960. In addition to creating very elaborate pieces, Mathon today also designs precious, but more modern collections. As one of the latest productions, the Verdeau line, where gold and diamonds are accompanied by the bright colors of lacquer. Almost a tribute to abstract painting of the 1930s.

The Passage collection, on the other hand, is inspired by Parisian covered passages, such as La La Galerie Vivienne. The collection takes up the Art Deco motif of the Manhattan collection, created by Catherine Mathon in 2007. The Vivienne ring, for example, is composed as a pavé with mother-of-pearl contrasting with turquoise, with pyrite flakes instructed in lapis lazuli and diamonds, such as the sky that appears through the vault of the Vivienne Passage when you look up.

Valentine’s Day in Hawaii with Buccellati




Valentine’s Day in Hawaii. It is a journey that can be tackled even without moving from home or, better, by simply moving to a jewelry store. The magic is signed by Buccellati, who created the new Hawaii Diamond Hearts collection for the feast of lovers. It is a line that the Milanese Maison has created for almost a century, in the 1930s, and is inspired by Hawaiian flower garlands. Flowers and love, in fact, are a close-knit couple.

The Hawaii Diamond Hearts line by Buccellati is made up of small circles of twisted wire in yellow gold. The circles are lightly chained together, to form a waterfall in which interspersed hearts in white gold and diamonds, the classic icon of love, can be recognized. The Hawaii Diamond Hearts line comes in a necklace, pendant earrings and bracelet and is accompanied by a launch campaign on digital channels starring Charlie Weiss, a German model already in the spotlight for her beauty. The campaign concept revolves around red, the color of love and passion, with shots and videos that give life to a subtle and refined game of seduction interpreted with a young and fresh attitude.

Better if of a person we like. To achieve the result now you can resort to jewelry. Ness1, the new Italian brand of unconventional jewelry, with particular attention to contemporary addictions (the first collection was called Drug), launches the Sex Bomb collection, defined as “liberating, joyful and irreverent homage to an essential component of life”.

Beyond the provocative and playful component, the Sex Bomb collection is composed of pendants in 18 and 9 carat white, yellow and pink gold, and diamonds. One pendant, for example, is in the shape of a hand grenade with the inscription Sex Bomb. Another pendant, Have a Blast is instead shaped like a firecracker. Another, however, has the silhouette of a missile engraved with XXX, letters that indicate adult films. In short, unconventional jewels, but which cannot scandalize. Surprising yes, however.

The couple shoots with Chantecler’s Carousèl

/




A carousel, an object or an environment with some element that turns. But, after all, even a couple relationship is something circular, which goes hand in hand with life. A round view of the world can foster life together. It is also the concept behind the Carousèl collection by Chantecler. A name, that of the jewelry line, which maintains the link with France, even if with a less letter r. After all, the Maison of Capri is so called because Chantecler was the nickname of the founder, Pietro Capuano.

In any case, the Carousèl jewelry line does not lose sight of the famous logo of the Italian brand, the rooster, which recurs along rings, earrings and bracelets. The rooster symbolizes the maison’s creative flair and brilliant spirit. For Valentine’s Day, therefore, Chantecler proposes its Carousèl line as jewels inspired by the union of a couple. The jewels are in rose gold, embellished with a black or white enamel cover, which emphasizes the contrasting logo motif reproduced along the entire band of the jewels. A series of small diamonds are set in the precious metal.

A jewel in the shape of a lock? WhyNow

/




Since 1935 the Songa family, in Milan, has managed the homonymous company founded by Antonio and now managed by Giovanni Maria, Antonio Andrea and Francesco. In addition to an intense activity in the wholesale sector, the group seems to have an unstoppable imagination in the creation of brands designed specifically to reach the different market segments, especially with silver and steel jewelry. The Songa group, for example, produces and markets proprietary brands such as Kidult, Mabina Gioielli, 2Jewels and PlayTogether. A novelty is, however, WhyNow, which wants to reach the younger audience.

All about diamonds and carats




Why are diamonds measured in carats (as well as for transparency, cut and purity)? And why are the carats of diamonds different from the carats that are used for gold? Questions that are often addressed to the gioiellis.com editorial staff. If you do not know what is meant by carat about diamonds or gold, here is a quick explanation.

Anversa: acquisti di un buyer
Antwerp (Anversa): acquisti di un buyer

History. It all starts with beans. That’s right: the word carat, or carat, comes from the Arabic word qīrāṭ, which means bean pod. But also the ancient Greeks called beans and carobs with the name of keration. But what does a diamond have in common with beans? Simple: in ancient times the seeds, which were the size of most gems, were used to determine the weight of diamonds. But a couple of centuries ago it was decided to establish a common value (not all beans are the same, after all). One carat, for diamonds, has been set at a weight of 200 milligrams or, if you prefer, 0.2 grams. Thus, a 1-carat diamond weighs 0.20 grams (equivalent to 0.007 ounces), a 2-carat diamond weighs 0.4 grams, and so on. You will more easily find jewelry made up of diamonds weighing much less than 1 carat. For example, a 0.05-carat diamond ring, which is a fairly common size, has a stone that weighs 0.01 grams (equivalent to 0.0004 ounces). And there are also those who, like Tiffany, measure diamonds up to one thousandth of a carat.

Shape and weight of diamonds. Carats are not everything: for the same weight, a diamond can appear more or less large according to the chosen cut, for example, brilliant (round), princess, oval, cushion, marquise, emerald, radiant or heart. In short, the carat weight does not indicate exactly the size. You may also read the abbreviation Tw: it is an abbreviation that is used for total weight, which is usually used to indicate the total weight of all the diamonds in a jewel.

The karat of gold. The word carat is also used for gold, but it indicates something completely different. For gold, the amount of karats measures the percentage of pure metal used: 24 karat gold means that 100% is pure gold. 18-karat gold indicates that 25% of the jewel is made up of other metals, such as silver, copper, palladium. A 14 karat gold ring is an alloy with 14 parts of gold and 10 parts of other metals. But why are there 24 karats of gold? The proportion dates back to the time of the ancient Romans at the time of the Emperor Constantine, who considered 24 silique, a silver coin, equal to a solid of gold, as the most valuable coin was called. For 1500 years, more or less, gold has therefore had two values: weight (in grams or ounces) and purity (carats).

Carat and Karat. In many languages ​​the word carat between diamond and gold is indistinguishable. In English, however, Carat is used for diamonds (and gems in general) and indicates the weight, while Karat is used for gold (abbreviated Kts). Thus it is much more precise and there is no confusion.

Annette Welander’s Swedish red gold




Gold can take on different colors (as you can read here). But there is one that is associated with a particular country: Swedish red gold. It is an alloy that is found exclusively in Sweden and is loved by Scandinavians for its warm color, which oscillates between pink and golden yellow. And it is also the gold used by Annette Welander, a Swedish design house that offers jewelry made in harmony with the famous Scandinavian design: clean, simple, but original lines. And, in this case, with references to architecture. It is no coincidence: her passion for design, art and architecture derives from her family of Swedish artists and architects, even from the same experiences as her. Her jewels, she explains, are also inspired by so-called Brutalist architecture.

In Annette Welander’s bio we read that before founding her Maison in 2018, the designer studied History of Art and Visual Studies at the University of Gothenburg and at the IHM Business School (The Institute for Higher Marketing Studies). She continued her education at the Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm, ranked as the third Top Creative Schools in the world, and subsequently worked in communication, branding and design for several companies. But she also devoted herself to painting, sculpture and photography. She discovered the jewels almost by accident, after meeting a Canadian jeweler who had worked at Birks & Sons (Meghan Markle’s favorite brand).

In addition, her team also includes architects and designers, with the aim of combining the cleanliness of the shape with the aesthetics and wearability of the jewels. The Swedish red gold that Annette Welander uses has a seal of approval: a small coat of arms in a clover-shaped shield, often referred to as a cat’s paw, the guarantee seal of an independent control body. In addition, the supply of the metal is monitored: the brand uses gold of sustainable and certified origin. Annette Welander’s jewels are now also distributed by SSENSE, a luxury concept store based in Montreal, Canada.

Swati Dhanak from the desert to New York

/




From the desert to abstract art: the jewels of the New York designer Swati Dhanak.

From Dubai to New York, but of Indian origin, Swati Dhanak is a jewelry designer who does not retain a modicum of oriental style. On the contrary, she is an innovator. She is able to surprise with collections that have a different form than usual and, if anything, more linked to that of abstract painting. She uses mainly gold and diamonds: materials with which it has been used since childhood.

Her family, in fact, has a tradition in jewelery and as a child she often went to his grandfather’s gold lab in Dubai. In short, she has the gold in her blood, but before giving life to her jewelry brand she worked for Armani and Chanel. She has traveled the world, she has learned, she has chosen to interpret a Western taste in his creations. The jewels testify geometries, but also asymmetries, with a mix between sudden touch and mathematical rigor. One of her first collections, Movement, is however inspired by the sands of the desert that come to life in her memory. In short, Swati Dhanak Jewelery is a special case, a solitary path. And that’s exactly what the designer wanted to achieve.

Five myths wrong




How many colors does gold have? Are diamonds really indestructible? Are precious stones everytime more expensive than others? Discover the answers and debunked the myths regarding the jewelry ♦

Even in the jewelry there are myths die hard. They are opinions that you can listen by a friend, or suggestions that a grandmother, which you considered wise, handed down as truth, as the result of ancient experience. In short, as in many other aspects of life, even for jewelry the are popular belief, sometimes, hides the reality. Here are five myths that here are unmasked .
The diamond is indestructible
Diamond is one of the toughest elements that exist in nature. For this reason, many people believe that diamonds are indestructible. Not so. It is true that diamonds are at the highest level on the Mohs scale, which measures the hardness. But they are far from proof of damage. So, be careful: you can scratch a diamond, for example if it is brought into contact with another diamond. And in some cases, especially at certain points, such as the edge or belt of a ring, a diamond can scratch or break.

The opal brings bad luck
It is a myth that has formed in the nineteenth century. It comes from a novel by Walter Scott, in which the heroine, Anne of Geierstein, throws his opal in the sea after spending many misadventures. Without the stone his life becomes serene. The Empress Eugenie of France, hit by the novel, fueled this belief that, as with all myths, is magnified through word of mouth. So much so that the opal was forbidden at the court of superstitious Tsar. Rather, opals are unlucky for those who have to work it: they break easily when are cutted.

Diamonds are increasingly rare
Not so. The trend in the price of diamonds is regulated by supply and demand. In short, it also depends on how much money people have in their pockets. Not only: the price of the stones is also affected by how many are placed on the market. The large mining companies are very careful not to sell too many diamonds, a factor that would decrease the price.

Gold has many colors
The jewels are most often offered in three variants of gold: white, pink, yellow, but there are also shades of green or black gold, brown, beige … In fact, in nature there is only one type of gold: yellow . The other gold variants are obtained by mixing gold with other elements, for example copper to obtain the pink variant. It is not just an aesthetic choice: pure 24-karat gold is very soft and deforms easily: this is why the yellow metal is alloyed with other elements, such as silver or palladium.

Antonini, small ring yellow gold and stars diamonds, lava finish

Semi precious stones are worth little
It’s not for sure. There are only four precious stones: diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. But there are also semi-precious stones that are very rare and very beautiful, like alexandrite, demantoid garnet, tanzanite and aquamarine. A semi-precious stone of great quality can have a value greater than a gemstone.

BaYou with Love offers jewelry with gold hidden in computers




BaYou with Love also offers jewelry made with gold hidden in computers.

Do you want to know the most important word for jewelry in the coming years? Sustainability. Using gold and gems of sustainable origin is the goal for all brands, but there are those who have chosen an original way to reach the goal. This is the case, for example, of BaYou with Love, a Los Angeles-based brand focused on sustainable fashion and production in the fields of jewelry, clothing, home and beauty. BaYou with Love was founded by actress and environmentalist Nikki Reed. Unlike other jewelry brands, BaYou with Love also uses gold that has a surprising provenance: computers.

BaYou with Love and Dell, in fact, have collaborated in the creation of 10-18 carat gold jewelry collections designed by Nikki Reed and made in Los Angeles from recycled gold, mostly from that hidden inside old computers, recovered and responsibly extracted through Dell’s recycling programs. Only around 12.5% ​​of electronics are recycled responsibly globally. For example, Americans throw away more than $ 60 million in gold or silver every year on phones alone. For this Dell extracts the gold from the old motherboards contained in computers. It is an example of a circular economy applied to jewelry. The other materials used for the jewelry are also of sustainable origin.

The two collections of her debut, Pretty Little Things and Pyramid, are still the ones receiving acclaim. The idea is to offer precious jewels, but also suitable for everyday life, thanks to the not too showy character of the design. Lucid, on the other hand, is a capsule collection created with a glass-like resin, set with cubic zirconia stones positioned in a linear design of a circle silhouette, which the designer considers “an exploration of kaleidoscopic elements of a dream world and of natural composition of light “.

A jewel by Mish? Why Knot?

//




After 30 years in New York, Mish Tworkowski moved to Florida, in Palm Beach. Nothing is better than the sun and the sea for the inspiration of this designer who was often inspired by the natural world and exotic travels. But without forgetting the classic jewelery motifs, as in the Why Knot collection? A name that adds a touch of humor that is always a pleasure: lightness is also synonymous with intelligence. And the Maison Mish uses the knot in a pleasant way, with gold jewels that have a twisted rope profile, that is formed by several threads together.

The result is pleasing: original jewelry without being bizarre, with the color of the subtropical sun. In addition to gold and a few diamonds, for this collection Mish also uses rich rows of pearls, even of different types combined together. Perhaps it is also the result of the previous experiences of the jeweler, who worked as a specialist at Sotheby’s in New York and London, in contact with magnificent vintage jewels put up for auction. But, as mentioned, Mish Tworkowski also loves nature very much, so much so that he collaborates with the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach and the New York Botanical Garden where he sits on the Board of Trustees. And on his website he does not fail to list his five favorite gardens. It has nothing to do with jewelry, but if you are curious, here they are:
1. New York Botanical Garden
2. Great Dixter House & Gardens

Alunno’s line




Fringes, wires and silver chains for making jewelery of great impact: it’s Alunno & Co’s proposal ♦ ︎
Producing jewelry on behalf of third parties, with the satisfaction of making chains, earrings, necklaces ready to be worn, such as the pieces of the Link collection: Alunno & co has a long tradition among the protagonists of jewelry and metalworking in Tuscany, in Arezzo . It was born in 1977 and has become a consolidated reality, led by Mario Alunno, who continues the family tradition.

Jewelery is interpreted with an almost-fashioned vision: for example, with long earrings made up of small silver chains, or in large necklaces, even in this case made by playing on metal threads, in a key 1970s. They are jewels that point to the impact of metal, the charm of the old, dear, gold that is the symbol of jewelery for millennia. Not surprisingly, in the Etruscan tombs found in Tuscany, jewelry has been found that somehow are linked to this ancient tradition. And Alunno goes on this way.

Solange Azagury-Partridge’s Solid Jewels

/




Brilliant, whimsical, unpredictable: Solange Azagury-Partridge is one of the British designers who transform each new collection into an event. Her style of hers always surprises, even when she designs a ring for the movie Snow White and the Huntsman, worn by Charlize Theron, who played the part of the Evil Queen. The new Solange Azagury-Partridge collection is simply called Solid. The choice for the new jewelry line was to use almost exclusively yellow gold. But there is no shortage of surprises, such as in the ring, bracelet and earrings in the shape of the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge.

Another idea of ​​the collection is the play between the word solid and the Latin word sun, since the yellow gold recalls the influence of the star that illuminates the Earth. Some pieces in the collection, in fact, are described as Solid Light and Solid Sunlight and also have a shape reminiscent of solar radiation. Finally, according to the designer, the collection is also a sign of awakening to life after two pandemic years that have forced people to stay at home for a long time. With Solid, in short, we turn the page.

Officina Bernardi becomes Hyper

///





The history of Officina Bernardi began 35 years ago by two Venetian goldsmiths, the brothers Francesco and Carlo Bernardi, first with the production of silver jewelry and more recently also in gold. Successful jewels, such as those of the Moon line, have also been offered in the United States and now they also have a home in Milan with a new single-brand store, which is added to the other 800 points of sale including jewelers, boutiques and department stores. But in addition to commercial expansion, Officina Bernardi has also expanded the marketing dictionary, adding the definition hyper to its production.

In short, necklaces, bracelets and earrings have become Hyper-Jewelry. According to the company, being Hyper means “always questioning the present, maintaining the constant desire to improve, experiment and create, pushing matter beyond the limit. They are so statement jewels, which remain impressed not through a simple logo, but in the shapes full of meanings that compose them and in the quality of their workmanship ». Alongside the original faceted spheres, Officina Bernardi’s jewels now offer a soft structure, in white or yellow gold, with the addition of precious stones, such as diamonds, sapphires and rubies set in small crowns.

Before turning to jewelry, just three years ago, she studied economics in the UK and fashion design at Parsons in New York City. The conversion to the world of jewelry took place through her experience in retail: she discovered that customers are looking for a jewel that can stand the test of time, but without spending a fortune. A reflection quite common to other jewelers.
