The jewelry of sea




The jewels inspired by the sea: perfect to be worn in August, but even better in the other months of the year ♦

The month of August, in the northern hemisphere (ie the one that goes from the North Pole to the equator), coincides with the hottest month, often destined for all or part to holidays. And often the holidays have a color: the blue of the sea. Waves, fish, crabs, starfish, hedgehogs are also the symbols that jewelers from all over the world and from all ages have used to bring the taste of the sea into a jewel. Brooches, rings, earrings, pendents with the symbols of the sea, including waves, are for this reason one of the most recurrent sources of inspiration. In short, the sea is a reason that shows no sign of passing out of fashion. And marine-themed jewels are not necessarily be worn in the summer.

In any case, here are lobsters, crabs, octopus, shrimp, a red fish and even a shark. In jewelery the seabed is populated by many precious fish with different names: Tiffany, Sicis, Pippo Perez, Lokman Kursunlu, Misis, Stephen Webster, Chopard, Lydia Courteille, Chantecler, S’Agapò, Ayala Bar … Some take up the mythology Greek, as associates of the god Neptune, others seem to come from the book of Jules Verne 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and still others resemble Dory, Brutus and Randa, Marlin’s traveling companions in Finding Nemo. In silver and enamel, or in gold, platinum and diamonds, colorful and playful like in animated or stylized and luxurious films, fishes are friends, non food. G.N.

Goodbye Pippo Perez





The disappearance of Pippo Perez just during VicenzaOro January ♦ ︎

He was planning work and travel. Instead, just during Vicenza Oro, where he was present, Pippo Perez died. The jeweler, who died on 19 January, had 72. His daughter, Gaia Perez, will give continuity to the Maison. The news of the death of Pippo Perez surprised many, although down in December the jeweler had been hospitalized. The problem seemed to have been overcome, but his condition suddenly worsened on 19 January. Perez was the heir to a Neapolitan dynasty of jewelers. His grandfather was a jeweler with a shop in Naples, and his father became a jeweler and designer too.

La Maison was founded in 2006 and immediately distinguished itself in the world of jewelry.

Pippo Perez, rock in Florence

From the ancient Neapolitan tradition, the equally historic Florentine goldsmith: in the Pippo Perez blood, flowing the gold of Naples and verve Tuscan. The jeweler has ancient roots, even from the Renaissance period. In the historical archives of his hometown, he says, it is preserved a document that testifies a work of his grandfather, Francesco Perez, for his majesty Fernando of Aragon. The story continued. In the sixties, the father of Pippo Perez rose to prominence in the news for a snake bracelet given by Clark Gable Sophia Loren. Jewel, for the uninitiated, that has the appearance of the small snake that lived in Capri, considered the bearer of good luck (but now seems to have disappeared from the island). Pippo Perez has decided to broaden the horizons and at 16 he moved to Valenza to study the techniques of the jewelry, and then in gemology in Switzerland and the United States. All experiences that helped to melt a touch of technical innovation to his creations, award-winning on several occasions. Finally, the decision to start again from Florence, together with Maurizio Marchi and Michele Capalbo. The style of brand, blends sports materials, such as marine rope, ie a cord made of synthetic fiber usually used on boats, with precious stones and gold. The subjects are often symbols as for luck, or evocative of distant cultures, as in the collection dedicated to the Navajo or Tibet. Although there were same more traditional pieces, like the rings. So, Pippo Perez went from the Neapolitan tradition to rock. Giulia Netrese
