New petals for Van Cleef & Arpels

Published on May 4, 2019

Orecchini Folie des Prés in oro rosa, rubini, diamanti

New great jewels in the traditional Folie des Prés collection by Van Cleef & Arpels ♦ ︎

Van Cleef & Arpels also is blooming in spring. Or rather, it flourishes again. Because the Folie des Prés fine jewelry collection has been a classic for years now. But, just like in spring, new colors bloom in the collection. This year, for example, the Maison in Paris has launched a collection of spectacular jewels centered on equally spectacular rubies.
So in the Folie des Prés collection here are a pair of earrings with rubies paired with rose gold and diamonds. The stones have different cuts, which are used to compose the flower petals.

But it is not the only novelty. The collection also includes a watch-bracelet with a 23 mm white gold case, trimmed with round diamonds. The bezel is in white gold with round and marquise-cut diamonds, round pink sapphires and teardrop mauve sapphires, while the dial is in white mother-of-pearl. Also, in this case, the stones are used to compose elegant colored flowers, thanks to round pink marquise sapphires and mauve teardrop sapphires. The clasp is in white gold. The hour of spring has arrived. Giulia Netrese

Sector, no Limits to saving

Published on April 15, 2019

/bracciale

Not only watches: Sector no Limits also offers metal and crystal bracelets at very low prices ♦ ︎

Sector No Limits is a brand that has an adventurous history, consistent with the image of its products. The company was founded in Naples in 1973 by Filippo Giardiello, grandson with the same name as his grandfather, co-founder of Philip Watch. It is not a case, in short, if today Sector No Limits is owned by the same group that produces the Philip Watch brand watches, that is Morellato.

Before arriving in Morellato, however, Sector waited 1991 for a launch in style. In 2001 it moved to Bulgari, based in Lugano. Today with Morellato the activity is back in Italy. But in addition to offering very sporty watches, it also offers jewelery in perfect Morellato style, as was to be expected. For example, the Emotion Lady line is aimed at a female audience with simple metal bracelets with crystals, and in some cases the addition of an inscription. The prices are really very low, they do not exceed 30 euros. Lavinia Andorno

There are 15,858 diamonds on this watch

Published on March 25, 2019

Here is the clock covered with the largest number of diamonds: 15.858. It is the world record of Coronet ♦ ︎

Once they presented an electric guitar made with 1.6 kilograms of 18 carat gold and 400 carats of diamonds. Last year it was the turn of a bottle-shaped Coca-Cola bag also with a maxi pavé of diamonds. Another record. But Coronet could not avoid have another world record, the ninth, on the official record of the Guinness Book of Records. So at Baselworld the Chinese jewelry company showed a watch covered with diamonds. What is the extraordinary aspect? The record for “the largest number of diamonds on a watch”.

The clock of the ninth Guinness is called Mudan, the Chinese name of the peony, and is covered with 15,858 diamonds, for a total of 50.01 carats. The timepiece (but perhaps it should be called the diamonds time ) is made in 18-carat gold with a diamond dial designed by the artist Reena Ahluwalia, who has already collaborated with Coronet. The clock is inspired by the peony flower, which for Chinese culture symbolizes nobility, honor and wealth. The diamond-shaped painted display made by Reena “represents the brilliant nobility we carry inside”. Peony (Mudan 牡丹) is known as the king of flowers in Chinese culture.

“This is the ninth time that Coronet was honored with a Guiness World Records title. We are proud to present our unique Mudan watch with the masterpiece of the artist Reena Ahulwalia on the clock face, a hyper-realistic painting of a diamond “.

L'orologio con pavé di 60 diamanti gialli per un totale di oltre 25 carati

Preview Baselworld: the jewel watch by Graff covered with 60 yellow diamonds ♦ ︎

Preview of the news from Baselworld, the great watch and jewelery fair scheduled for the second half of March. The preview is about a jewel. Or a clock, as you like. But it is difficult to classify a timepiece like that of Graff as a simple useful object. It’s, rather, high watchmaking. It is no coincidence that Graff is a London House famous for its diamond jewelery.

The bracelet that marks the hours presented by Graff has a pavé of 60 yellow diamonds for a total of over 25 carats.

The diamonds are mounted on a case, a bracelet and a yellow gold dial. It is not just luxury, a lot of luxury, but also technical innovation: Graff has invented a joining system to create flexible bracelets, which can also use stones on the strap. The goldsmith work was developed in London, while the part concerning the watch was from the Swiss branch Graff Luxury Watches. Other jewelry-watches will then be presented at Baselworld. Five years ago, in 2014, Graff presented Hallucination, a women’s watch covered by fancy 110-carat diamonds, perhaps the most precious watch ever created. The following years followed The Fascination, with 152.96 carats of white diamonds, valued at 40 million dollars, with a 38.13-carat pear cut diamond, removable, in the center. And in 2017 the highlight was Princess Butterfly Secret Watch, covered with diamonds and precious stones on a frame that concealed the watch.

Audemars Piguet, a masterpiece loop’s

Published on February 15, 2019

bracciale/Orologi/alta gioielleria/Showroom

An extraordinary bracelet-watch from the Swiss Maison Audemars Piguet covered with 12,000 small sapphires and diamonds ♦ ︎

A single jewel, but extraordinary ones. A jewel that in addition to sparkling on the wrist also has the function (secondary) to indicate the time. In short, the Audemars Piguet is the Sapphire Orbe, bracelet-watch (more bracelet than watch) of high jewelry, a unique work that is worth observing carefully.

A curious aspect is that the bracelet derives its name from the Orbe torrent that runs through Le Brassus, a small Swiss town in the canton of Vaud. A creek flowing a few meters from the Audemars Piguet headquarters.

Also the Sapphire Orbe bracelet is a river, but of diamonds and sapphires, with shades of blue and orange. A precious nuance that has a play of colors and lights that change according to the perspective with which you look at the jewel. Audemars Piguet specifies that it took about 1050 hours to finish the jewel settings. At the center of the bracelet, under a dome, is the dark blue sapphire globe of 2 centimeters. Underneath the globe is the 18-karat white gold dial of the watch, paved with orange sapphires. The central rings, on the other hand, are entirely covered with diamonds and sapphires in six shades of blue and orange, each in 20 different diameters ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 millimeters. In all there are more than 12,000 stones, each strictly selected, cut and set by hand. In short, a masterpiece.

Cascata hours for de Grisogono

High jewelery bracelets with built-in clock: the de Grisogono Cascata collection ♦ ︎

They are not watches. Or, more precisely, they are clocks that are indifferent to time. Ok, the technical data indicate that inside there also seems to be a quartz movement that ensures a Swiss precision. But who will wear the three copies of the Cascata collection by the Maison de Genève de Grisogono to see what time it is? These timepiece jewels guarantee more a pleasant aesthetic sensation than an interest in punctuality. They are also jewels full of secrets.

Inside these watch-bracelets there is a golden wire structure studded with precious stones which is at the base of the watch’s silhouette.

Collezione Cascata. Orologio bracciale con cassa in oro rosa con 128 rubini a taglio brillante, 126 ametiste a taglio brillante e 72 ametiste ovali. Quadrante: set con 148 ametiste. Oro rosa chiusura pieghevole con 95 ametiste

That’s why the collection has this name: Cascata. Small jewels studded with 126 brilliant cut diamonds support the 72 oval cut gemstones of a bezel. The claws dominate and punctuate a cascade of stones for a total of over 30 carats, creating a continuum in scale that defines the contours of the oval shape of the watch and reveals the dial encrusted with 148 gems set in snow. The strap is in galuchat.
In short, high jewelry or high watchmaking? To guarantee the most dense setting and to make the gems appear in an inseparable succession, the Maison de Grisogono explains the goldsmiths craftsmen took almost a hundred hours to cut the stones in an oval shape.

I could spend hours simply observing the choreography of the hands, the harmonious dance of the fingers that unite and give life to the materials.
Fawaz Gruosi

The set griffe, the embellished dial with the snow-set and the sculpted caseback with diamond volutes required a 50-hour work for the oval cut stones and 20 hours for the claws and the snow-set of the case back and the scrolls. The bracelet with minutes and seconds is offered in three versions: white gold and white diamonds, white gold with emeralds on top and white diamonds below, pink gold with amethysts on top and rubies underneath. The buckle has new aesthetic lines specially designed to match the philosophy of the Cascata watch: in the center is a rosette cut gem of over one carat framed by a pavé.

Sunlight Escape, high jewelery by Piaget

confronto tra il collier in fase di realizzazione e il disegno originale

Sunlight Escape, a new large collection of fine jewelry from Piaget. First part ♦ ︎

Let’s start from here: Piaget owns the largest jewelery workshop in Geneva. Thus, when the Swiss Maison presents its collections of fine jewelry, also the expectation is high. As high as the sun shining in the sky and suggesting the theme of the new collection of fine jewelry. in 2017 the super jewelry collection was called Sunlight Journey. In 2018 here is Sunlight Escape. Rays of the sun, light, brilliance. But also sunset, fugitive light, bright night. In short, around the concept you can embroider and, above all, create a high-end jewelry that is at the top of the world rankings. Sunlight Escape, in its radiant ambiguity, is embodied in the Piaget collection in a series of exceptional jewels and jewelry-watches.
The Sunlight Escape collection consists, in fact, of three lines of jewelry: Warming Lights, Exalting Sights, and Dancing Nights. From Piaget the three lines are defined as follows: Warming Lights, light captured and diffused through shapes and materials such as pink and yellow gold and diamonds. Exalting Sights focus on what is truly spectacular through the unique skills of the Maison Piaget. Dancing Nights, a whirlwind of asymmetric forms united in a fascinating fluid movement. Processing and result are of each of the three deserves its own space. In this page, so, let’s look at the first one, Warming Lights, and will consider the other two separately.
Warming Lights
This line, part of Sunlight Escape, is made up of jewels reminiscent of the warm color of the first lights: pink gold, yellow and white diamonds, which capture light and transform it through a multitude of reflections and refractions. They are part of Warming Lights a necklace brilliantly shows dozens of strips engraved in rose gold decorated with marquise cut diamonds. Like a sun, there is a central stone, a 6.02 carat emerald, which shines bright green. A rose gold bracelet with an inlaid motif of feathers and gold leaves is also part of Warming Lights. Then there is a ring with brilliant cut diamonds and a large cut diamond of 2.3 carat cushion. Also part of this line is a watch with diamonds and white gold, complemented by a rose cut and brilliant cut diamond bracelet , “Similar to small drops of snow just melted”.

The gem setting
Piaget, rightly, puts the accent on the goldsmith technique used for these jewels. The setting of the gem, explains Piaget, for example, is a demanding technique that requires patience, precision and dexterity. The task must be carried out perfectly to ensure that the setting of the precious stone is strong and stable. “An art form in the true sense of the term implies transcending techniques to create an absolute impression of brilliance”. A particularly refined technique is the “serti descendu” or “reduction setting”, which provides a particular shine to the stone. With infinite care, those who place the jewel fix the stone inside the chisel claws, before cutting them back to offer a clear view of the stone. Applied to the diamond contour of each rose cut diamond, it provides a halo of light that captures and projects the sheer beauty of jewelry.
Feather marquetry
“In its incomparable delicacy and harmony, there is something transcendental in the work of the feather artist, Nelly Saunier,” explains Piaget. Winner of the Prix Liliane Bettencourt for the Intelligence de la Main, she was a natural choice for Piaget to collaborate on Sunlight Escape. For this collection of fine jewelry Nelly Saunier has created a series of four exceptional creations in the form of earrings and hoses that evoke a snowy landscape illuminated by the penetrating rays of the sun. As only a Maître d’Art can do, Nelly Saunier brings together the art of feathers and the art of gold. A composition of pure white feathers is brilliantly contrasted with rose gold leaves, creating the sparkling effect of the icy snow that shines in the warm rays of the sun.

The Palace decoration
The Palace decoration is an engraving technique inspired by the Haute Couture and which provides a handmade guilloché process with veins that give the surface the appearance of raw silk. The result is, in fact, similar to a fabric with an inimitable radiance capable of accentuating the brilliance of precious stones. This engraving process is a traditional Piaget technique for which the Maison has been famous for a long time. With the combination of diamond polishing and setting, these High Jewelry creations move the boundaries of skills and creativity. An essential element of the Sunlight Escape collection, the Midnight Sun necklace shows the Palace decoration in all its splendor with marquise cut diamonds that naturally guide the gaze towards the deep intensity of the green of a large central emerald.

Allegra for 25 years with de Grisogono

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

From Faraone Casa d’Aste the jewels come back, with a rare sapphire of Kashmir ♦ ︎
The jewelery and watch auctions in Milan are back with a collection of over 300 lots that will be beaten on May 14 by Faraone Casa d’Aste. Also on this occasion the sale will take place at the Four Seasons. And it promises to be an interesting event for enthusiasts and collectors. The historic Milanese company also notes the growing trust of the owners of pieces for sale, given that the number of lots is more than 240 in November and 160 in May 2017.
Among the pieces in the catalog, and among the many rings, there are two in particular. The first ring, in platinum, has mounted a sapphire from Kashmir, one of the rarest gems in the world since the mine has been used up for decades. The stone has a cushion cut and weighs about 9 carats, surrounded by diamonds. On the second ring there is a 13-carat Colombian emerald, wrapped in baguette-cut diamonds. In addition to these two pieces, in particular a platinum pin, punched by Monture Cartier, with a 3.10 carat Colombian emerald placed in the center of a play of platinum bands covered with 8.20 ct. of cut diamonds in old cut and baguettes. Always among the most popular choices is a set of Van Cleef & Arpels consisting of ring and earrings in platinum with 14 carats of brilliant cut diamonds and 15 carats of round rubies, plus a bracelet always in platinum with 5 sapphires for a total of 22 carats, surrounded by as many carats of baguette and brilliant diamonds. Furthermore, in the catalog there is a ring in platinum punched Bulgari with a central cut diamond of about 3 carats, surrounded by brilliant cut diamonds and baguette for others about 3 carats, and a Cartier ring, with fancy yellow octagonal diamond weighing 3,09 carats with two lateral triangular diamonds weighing about 1 carat, accompanied by its original case.
What time is it
The second part of the auction is dedicated to the fans of the lancets. There are about fifty watches for sale, including a Rolex Daytona Patrizzi ref 16520 caliber 4030, with steel case and bracelet oyster, desired by collectors for the unique color variation of the three counters on the dial, due to the natural oxidation of silver , which make it particularly coveted. In addition to other Rolex, there is also an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph ref. 25770ST steel and a rare Santos Dumont Louis Cartier Ultra-Thin.

Diamond Secret, Graff’s masterpiece

The stunning Diamond Secret watch-bracelet presented by Graff at Baselworld 2018♦ ︎
What need is there to spend a lot of money on an object that show you the time, when just take a look at the smartphone? The question is wrong. Objects, jewels of excellent quality, like those of Graff are not watches: they are emotions. Not just for the amount necessary (on request) to buy a similar timepiece. But because getting the Diamond Secret, a high-jewelry bracelet that hides the dial and hands of the clock, is an achievement reserved for a few: it’s luxury, but also an object that only a small number of Maison in the world could realize. Very few.
The watch with secret has a delicate design, but above all rich. It consists of multi-layered white diamonds set in an invisible metal mesh that moves smoothly on the wrist. In short, it is not only an extraordinary bracelet composed of diamonds of different cut, marquise, round or square, but it is also comfortable to wear. Under an imperceptible and flowing mechanism, which is operated by pressing a button, a small dial is revealed, which otherwise remains completely covered by the diamonds texture. Alessia Mongrando

Read also: Van Cleef & Arpels, wonders in the garden
The Cosmos bracelet-watch, for example, are inspired by the shape of the flowers of Van Cleef & Arpels born in the fifties. In this case, however, the petals hide a secret, that is, a diamond dial. To find out, just turn the corolla, which is dimensional and has inclined petals. Each petal is distinguished from the others by subtle variations in size, shape and orientation, creating an asymmetry that moves the composition. To maximize the brilliance, diamonds cover the petals with pavé up to 18 stones. Another example of goldsmith virtuosity applied to fine jewelry is the Chrysanthemum Secret Watch. In this case the chrysanthemum flower explains its petals in a spiral of diamonds and pink sapphires that form a nuance. Thanks to an imperceptible mechanism, the heart rises to reveal an autumn-colored dial composed of thick red and orange garnets. Also noteworthy is the idea of using both yellow and pink gold, which contrast with the white gold and diamond bracelet.

Charriol, orologio bracciale Invisible, particolare del quadrante

From Charriol a jewel of timepiece based on white gold and diamonds. Without forgetting the classic steel cables ♦ ︎
The watches-jewels are rather jewelry-watches: precious bracelets in which, among other things, a dial appears that marks the hours. Because, let’s face it, a bracelet with timepiece does not need to count the minutes that pass. This is why jewelry houses often offer bracelets that are more of an ornament than a practical tool. As in the case of Charriol, a Swiss brand famous for its jewels made from a shape that resembles that of industrial steel cables, naturally also using metals and precious stones. One of the most successful lines of the Maison de Genève is called St-Tropez. On the occasion of Baselworld (22-27 March 2018) Charriol presents Invisible, a jewel-watch with a white gold case enriched with 135 white baguette-cut diamonds. The watch uses an exclusive stone embedding technique that makes the frame invisible. The diamonds are placed next to each other so as to hide the gold meshes on which they are embedded, so as to create a seemingly compact surface of brilliant gems. The diamond circle encloses a white mother-of-pearl dial with 12 princess-cut white diamonds placed in place of the hour numbers. The bracelet is not lacking the classic twisted steel cables of Charriol, but next to a bracelet with diamonds. Rudy Serra

Allegra, the jewel-watch signed by de Grisogono 25 years after the debut of the Maison ♦ ︎
His name is Allegra. But, in reality, it is easier than it is an adjective, cheerful (means allegra in italian language), written with the small letter. And that the adjective refers to the lucky woman who will receive as gift (or can afford to buy) the de Grisogono watch-jewel. The piece is part of the “so de Grisogono” collection, the first jewel of the Maison de Genève, 25 years ago, and for this reason it holds a special place in the history of the brand.
The Allegra 25 jewel-watch is composed of a gold ribbon, delicately intertwined rings that create an elegant, fluid and continuous movement that lets light pass through the material. The 29 gold rings, polished or set with diamonds, surround the dial. The dial is in mother-of-pearl or with pavé diamonds. The jewel watch has a dimension of 41.7 mm, with 4.80 carats of stones in a dance of «serti neige» (diamonds are placed next to each other playing on their different diameters from 0.5 to 1.6 mm) and «serti clos» (a closed set). The strap is of galuchat, a classic of the Maison.
The Allegra 25 is available in five sets. Another will be presented at Baselworld (22-27 March 2018). Cosimo Muzzano

A masterpiece among Damiani’s Margherita

Published on January 23, 2018

Rings/alta gioielleria/Showroom

In Paris Damiani presents the enriched Margherita collection and a watch-bracelet, a unique piece masterpiece ♦
High fashion, high jewelery: the wedding is consumed every year in France, on the occasion of the Paris Haute Couture. It’s an appointment Damiani, a group which is leader in Italy of jewelry and fine jewelry, decided not to miss. Damiani has therefore organized a preview of the new creations of Fine Jewelry of the Margherita collection in their Boutique in Place Vendome: see the pictures on this page.
The collection was created by revisiting the original sketches of the founder of the Maison and supplier of the Royal House of Savoy, Enrico Grassi Damiani, and is inspired by the elegance of the wife of the king of Italy Umberto I (1844-1900), Queen Margherita. In addition to having bequeathed to the entire world population a food jewel as the most classic of pizzas, the Margherita pizza (baptized in Naples in his honor: is topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, perhaps its greatest merit), the Regina was also famous for its elegance and for its passion for jewelery: it is no coincidence that her has been given a gift of diamonds and of great value.
The Margherita collection consists of a series of precious flowers in gold, diamonds, citrine quartzes and amethysts. The motif of the daisy consists of a center from which the petals radiate and is repeated on rings, bracelets, pendants and earrings.
Bracelet and secret
The Margherita collection also begins to count the hours with jewel-watches. Damiani, in fact, also presents a precious watch-bracelet made in over 500 hours of work thanks to the excellent skill of the goldsmiths of Valenza. The bracelet is created with 52 daisies (from 6 to 18 millimeters) made of white gold and brilliant cut diamonds of different diameters linked to each other through small rings that provide softness in movement and a perfect fit.
The central bouquet conceals an elegant watch (with Eta Swiss movement) concealed by a mechanism. A small touch triggers the lid that magically rotates sideways revealing the precious hands and the full pavé dial. This unique piece takes around 75 grams of white gold and 15 carats of diamonds.
Among other things, with the collection Margherita Damiani won the prestigious Sina Fashion Style Awards 2017 in Beijing. Sina is the most important and authoritative Chinese portal in the country for trends and information.

New arrivals are a necklace, a ring, a bracelet, earrings and a pendant, always in pink gold and white gold rhodium-plated to enhance brilliance, with a diamond in the center of the button, embossed in castone. Diamonds are chosen among the finest quality classes: D, E or F for color, IF and VVS for purity. The structure consisting of so many small metal elements contributes to increasing the volume and reflections of jewelery. It is no coincidence that the shape resembles the luxury version of the sequins. New jewels are added to those that use corniola, mother of pearl, chrysoprase and yellow gold.
The Bouton d’or collection is inspired by the paillette pattern that is recorded in the archives of the Maison in 1939. In the forties, yellow pastilles are used in a variety of ways, for example with buttons assembled on a ring or along the threads of a double necklace. The motif was later evoked in the 1950s, with simple or crossed bracelets, ornamented earrings, until it reached 2016, with the rebirth of the buttons.

Gucci, bracciale Dionysus in oro giallo e tsavoriti

The jewels by Gucci Dionysus collection: gold tigers with tsavoriti eyes ♦ ︎
Alessandro Michele has relaunched the Gucci brand. He has conquered the Millennials range, he proposed an aggressive style. A reverberation of the character of the creative director of the Maison of Florence under the umbrella of the Kering group is also seen in the novelties introduced in the jewelery line that takes the name of one of the most famous Gucci line for leather goods: Dionysus, in Greek and Roman mythology known mainly as god of wine and ecstasy. For the fall winter season 2017 Gucci has added new pieces to its range. These are four pieces: 18ct yellow diamond-shaped earrings with diamonds, a yellow gold necklace, green enamel and tsavorite, and two bracelets. Each of these bracelets comes with three interchangeable 18-carat yellow tiger heads with eyebrows and decorated with green enamel around the inner rim. There is also a watch designed to be worn as a timepiece or just as jewel. All pieces have the tiger’s head, Maison’s icon. It is no coincidence: mythology tells us that Dionysus had crossed the Tigris River on a tiger sent by Zeus. Alessia Mongrando

The Sofia Coppola film for the re-launch Panthère watch by Cartier ♦︎
There are clocks that are jewels. One of these is Cartier’s Panthère. Presented in 1983, it was a success until 2004, when it was put out of production. Last June, however, the French Maison decided to relaunch it. For the occasion, he asked the winner of an Oscar-winning Oscar-nominee, Sofia Coppola, named Cartier’s “friend”, to make a movie that has a young woman, partner and, of course, the clock as the protagonist. Here are the pictures.

Buccellati, the time of the Rombi

The watches of the Buccellati Rombi collection: high jewelry have the time ♦ ︎
In 2001, Gianmaria Buccellati launched the first jewel-watch collection in Geneva. In 2017, Buccellati has not yet changed its mind and proposes ever-new jewel-watches. One of the threads on which the Milanese brand, now part of the Gangtai Group’s about the financial profile, is to highlight the great collections of Maison’s tradition and history, which has now been over a century of life.
Here, so, two of the jewel-watches are linked to the classic Rombi collection. They are made of white and yellow gold, with the workmanship known in Italy as Florentine Style, which is also the characteristic of the jewels of the Rombi collection. The case is made of white gold and diamonds, with edges in yellow gold engraved by hand. The dial is a full pavé of diamonds that encloses inside a Swiss quartz movement. Unlike the regular watches that are used to control the time, here the strap is of primary importance: in reality, a white and yellow gold bracelet with diamonds and edges in yellow gold engraved by hand. The two white and yellow watches are joined by the historic Rombi collection, for those who want something more. Lavinia Andorno

Sunlight Journey, light waves on the highly jewelery crafted by Piaget ♦
Sunlight Journey, a secret diary of sunlight shining on the Amalfi Coast. Piaget has so called his new jewelery collection. And what is better than light to spark a jewel? The sun’s rays, however, are not always the same: from morning till sunset the sensations that communicate the bright waves are different. So the collection was divided according to the different moments of the day and the light. And to show what Piaget calls the “sun moods”, the brand of Richemont group has organized at Cinecittà in Rome an event for a celebrity audience, from Claudia Cardinale to Juliette Binoche, models like Barbara Palvin, Coco Rocha, Shanina Shaik and Cheyenne Tozzi, welcomed by Piaget’s Ceo, Chabi Nouri. On the other hand, sun, cinema and Piaget are a triad that is reflected in each other: not surprisingly, Piaget’s Sunlight Journey collection was among the stars of the Cannes Film Festival.
The jewels-watch
The High Jewelry collection includes watches and jewels. Watches are, of course, super luxury jewelry more than just a timepiece. The secret watches, in fact, have been a peculiar feature of the Maison for several decades. The Sea Waves watch, for example, is an 18-carat pink gold manchette, with 428 brilliant cut diamonds (about 6.95 carats), while the secretive cover is made of a cabochon opal white (about 10.45 carats) And the dial is in mother of pearl. Other pieces extraordinary are Blue Shore, a white gold manchette with Palace decoration and lapis lazy dial, or Green Bisazza, white manchette with 156 emerald baguette cut (about 12.48 carats), 43 baguette cut diamonds (about 4 , 73 carats), one hundred brilliant cut diamonds (about 7.40 carats) and 23 black opal elements (2.90 carats).
Piaget’s High Jewelry
No wonder the great impact pieces of this collection are as many and as bright as the sun’s rays. For example, the collier embellished by a Sri Lanka oval cut sapphire matched with a diamond cascade. Or the collier with rubies and diamonds drawn on a rays pattern typical of Piaget, with a 6.63-carat yellow coussin diamond surrounded by red spinels and yellow and white diamonds. Or, again, a sautoir shimmering thanks to marquise cut diamonds, diamonds and feathers placed around an outstanding 45.99-carat blue star sapphire. The ring with a secret compartment is also extraordinary: it is made with a hard work with feathers embellished with purple sapphires, pink spinelli and diamonds. Lavina Andorno
