Nanis discovers the ancient charm of paisley

Published on December 11, 2022

Collana Paisley in oro e pavé di diamanti

The ancient charm of the paisley has conquered the modern design of Nanis, the jewelery Maison founded and directed by Laura Bicego. The shape of the paisley has an origin that is lost in history. Drawings with this shape resembling a drop with a curved tip have been found in the decorations of the great Mesopotamian civilizations and in Persia, until its diffusion in the Cashmere area and throughout India. Nanis has reinterpreted the silhouette of the drop (but for others the origin is a leaf) of the paisley with the technique that distinguishes the Venetian brand.

The Cachemire collection includes 18-carat gold jewels with the usual refined ribbed burin workmanship, with hand engraving, together with pavé diamonds. The paisley shape is used for earrings, rings, also in the toi et moi version, as well as as a pendant for a necklace made up of a series of drops with curved tips concatenated to form a rich jewel closed in the center by an element with diamonds. With the same shape there is also a pendant to be used as a point of light for a thin chain.

Tamara Comolli has an Italian name, but an international vision. She is a German born, graduated at the Munich Business School, founded her brand in 1992. In Germany, she is the company’s seat and base, but jewels are produced exclusively for her in Milan. The beginning of career in the jewelery world, however, took place in the United States.
With her glance that ignores the borders, it is no surprise that for the winter 2017-2018 Tamara Comolli has presented a line of jewels dedicated to a country like India. The collection, which is called India, is entirely based on the classic paisley design, which originates from the boteh or buta name, a drop-shaped, Persian origin pattern widespread throughout the Indian region. By the way, if its point is down, paisely has the same geographic form similar at India. The collection of Tamara Comolli also uses eco-sustainable materials: besides gold, some jewels are made of ebony or snakewood (Brosimum Guianense), a wood with an appearance that reminiscent of the reptile skin. But jewels are also made of chalcedony, mother of pearl, quartz and some precious stones. Price. from 500 to 4000 euros. Giulia Netrese

David Webb presents at Couture its renewed collections ♦
Exoticism is the kind of cultural and artistic reference inspired by forms and stories of distant lands. Today is no longer very interesting, but it was cool an half a century ago it was. And for David Webb, class 1925, born in North Carolina, Greece, Syria, Turkey and Peru were far away. But full of charm, especially for their ancient history, traditions and artistic legacy.
Many years ago, the Ancient World collection, which was inspired by exotic and antiques shapes, was born from this interest. After the death of the designer, the company that discovered the inheritance continues the work of the founder, and the Ancient World collection continues to grow in pieces, such as the Paisley ring, inspired by the Indian geometric pattern, presented at Couture in Las Vegas. Enamel, 18-karat gold, unique jewelery combinations, use of precious jade, give a special charm to this collection. At the show of the city of Nevada, however, David Webb also brings other novelties such as the jewelry from the Toolchest collections, with 18K gold-tone motifs, and Wood Works, inspired by the American designer’s original designs but reinterpreting them with the wood.
