How to choose the travel jewelry case

How to choose the jewelry case, the small portable containers to take your jewelry on the road ♦ ︎

Going on holiday with jewels is always a bit complicated. Even if it’s just for a weekend. It is not easy to decide in advance what you will wear a few days later, in a completely different environment, perhaps without knowing whether you will spend an evening in an elegant, or informal, context. Who knows. And if you then want to wear a jewel in the afternoon? In short, it is difficult to predict which jewels will be more appropriate with many days in advance.

That’s why women are tempted to pack as much jewels in their suitcase or bag as possible, to be ready in any case.

Unfortunately, this often turns out to be a bad idea. Jewels in a bag can ruin each other if placed too close. Packing them one by one is boring and, moreover, presupposes that you do the same operation when you return. The jewels in a suitcase run even more risk than in a bag, especially if you travel by plane. What to do? The solution are jewelry boxes for travel. They are small boxes are designed specifically to hold the jewels, so that they do not ruin. Also, the jewels are not lost, because they are all gathered together and you do not have to look for them in all the corners of a bag. In this way, moreover, they are also easier to control.

The surprises of Nadine Ghosn




Nadine Ghosn: the new frontier of jewelry that makes you smile or surprise.

Irreverent. This is how Nadine Ghosn can be defined. A fine jewelry designer, she has a mind free from ancient traditions, except those that refer to the technique in the creation of her collections. For the rest, she plays surprise. She certainly won’t appeal to ladies accustomed to solitaire, emerald sets or strings of pearls. On the other hand, she likes those who interpret luxury as a game, those who love to break the rules (without exaggerating), those who want to wear something that amazes. A few examples: the hamburger ring. Made of gold, diamonds, sapphires and tsavorites, proposed in a limited edition.

One could continue with the can opener-shaped earring, the necklace that looks like a set of smartphone earphones, the laughing HaHaHa earrings, with jewels in the shape of Lego elements. Although she has recently entered the world of jewelry that she counts, the designer already has a good number of fans, including Beyoncé. Nadine Ghosn, 27, is based in New York and also has a special history. She is the daughter of former Renault-Nissan number one, Carlos Ghosn, she is a graduate of Stanford University and the Gemological Institute of America, she gained experience at the Boston Consulting Group and Maison Hermès. She was born in the USA, but she has Lebanese and Brazilian origins. Her family, rich in her, gave her a cultural melting pot. Perhaps this is why the result is so carefree.

Wedding rings, how to choose

Wedding rings, guide to choosing it (and 5 ideas to find the right wedding ring for you) ♦

Jewels have always played a decisive role in relationships, not only from the most frivolous point of view, as one of the most appreciated gifts a man can give a woman, but also from a much deeper aspect, of union between two people. That’s why choosing a wedding ring to share with your life partner shouldn’t be taken lightly.

The ring for the couple’s most important day, in fact, will be worn (hopefully) for a lifetime. In short, the choice must be decided after thinking well. And also keep in mind that the ring must be combined with different clothes, different seasons, in the evening as in the morning. In short, it must always go well.

Engagement ring worn together with the wedding ring

So, is it better to choose a classic wedding ring, in simple yellow gold? Or in rose, white or platinum gold? A shiny, satin or diamond wedding ring? Here is a selection of what you can buy on the internet: the wedding ring, like love, has no boundaries. And for the measure? The size of the ring can be easily determined by following these instructions.

1 yellow gold ring. It is like a gray suit, which is good for all occasions. A classic. It never clashes, no one will notice it too much, but don’t think you stand out. There are those who choose a yellow gold band ring precisely because it is a little anonymous, no one will ever have anything to say about your choice, and in 20 years it will do the same. Others, however, find the yellow gold wedding ring too boring. To you the choice.

Noi2, yellow gold wedding ring by Damiani

2 rose gold ring. Years ago, rose gold was considered too flashy and not suitable for marriage. Today this is no longer the case: those who choose pink gold appreciate the warm color of the metal. Among other things, there is not just one type of rose: the color, in fact, depends on the amount of copper that is used in the alloy with gold. The brighter the pink, the more copper will have been used. To be precise, pink gold is usually composed of 75% gold (yellow, therefore), 6.5-5% silver and 18.5-20% copper. Of course, you don’t have to have copper allergies.

3 white gold ring. Discreet, classic, perfect even when complemented by a small diamond set in the band: white gold continues to have a good number of admirers. However, its luster depends on the type of rhodium plating used (this also applies to the other colors of gold). When white gold loses its luster with wear, it risks being confused with silver. But don’t worry: just take it to a jewelry store for a new quick rhodium plating and it will be as good as new.

4 diamond rings. The classic solitaire is usually a ring intended for engagement. In that case, however, the diamond is branded on the outside of the gold band. Nothing prevents, however, that small diamonds can also be used for wedding rings. But in this case they must be placed very discreetly on the ring so as not to become excessively showy.

5 platinum rings. There is not only gold: platinum is a great metal for wedding rings. In addition to being very chic, platinum is also a metal that does not easily cause allergies, and is very resistant. However, it is a little more expensive than gold. Not only that: once worn it is not distinguishable from a normal white gold ring: therefore, if you choose platinum, you don’t have to worry about showing the price.

Valentina Laganà, colors and geometries




The modern bijoux by Valentina Laganà, the colors of Sicily in modern design ♦
Silver, copper and bronze. It seems to list the metals used at dawn of human history. But they are also elements used by Valentina Laganà, jewelery designer, who prefers to be considered an artist of objects to wear.

Born and raised in Palermo, she moved to Florence to study goldsmiths. Since 2004 she has moved to Turin, where she works today. Behind her there is a 25 year career: unique items to wear, that she designs and realizes herself. In short, a craftsman looking for his own way. Like many creators who have moved to some point in their lives elsewhere, Valentina Lagana has not forgotten her origins and relives a bit of Sicily in her jewelery: majolica, flowers, fish, birds, sea colors and the figs of India find an application in its collections.

But the tune with traditional Sicily is limited to the name of a collection, Taormina. Valentina Laganà’s jewelery collections are, in fact, the farther away from the folklore you can imagine. They are modern, geometric jewels, and if you do not know the origin and the spirit of the author, you would say they are very Nordic. The collections are divided into six thematic lines, enamelled copper, multiple stranded wires, hammered silver, oxidized copper and elastic fabric. Prices: on average Valentina Laganà’s jewelery is between 80 and 140 euros.

Brosway Wishes

Desire, according to the definition found in the dictionary, is an acute feeling of need to achieve or obtain what is believed to be indispensable for the satisfaction of one’s physical needs, in particular referring to the sexual or spiritual sphere. And who in the world has no desires? Indeed, desires are usually much more numerous than we can satisfy. But there is one aspect that knows (almost) no limits in achieving desires: that of jewels. True, the very expensive ones are perhaps unattainable, but the wishes concerning more easily accessible jewels can be satisfied.

Chantecler Suamèm again




Chantecler renews the classic Suamèm collection ♦︎

Neapolitans are known to be creative. There is no more imaginative and witty language than that spoken by those born under Vesuvius. An example is the Suamèm collection by Chantecler, a brand born in Capri, the island just in front of the Neapolitan city. Suamèm, in fact, is the transcription in the Neapolitan language (language, not dialect) of the French soi-même, that is oneself. It is an invitation not to hide one’s personality. Suamèm is one of the classic collections that have created the success of Chantecler but which now, in the year in which the Maison turns 70, is renewed with other jewels.

The style is inspired by the seventies, with yellow gold pieces now reworked in 18-karat yellow gold in irregularly sized links. Over time, the collection has shrunk to just four classic pieces: bracelet, necklace, ring and earrings. They are classic jewels, but at the same time unusual, high-end, with a strong connotation of design, but without forgetting portability.

Adding initials, or a whole word is one of the most used choices by jewelry companies. Pandora, however, has the advantage of offering the letters of the alphabet to a solid base of users who already wear the bracelets of the Danish house. The lettering is handwritten in style and features a cubic zirconia stone at the end of each charm. Charms are sterling silver with 14k rose gold plating. A single letter costs 39 euros, a snake chain bracelet with ball closure and pendant 179 euros.

Marion Vidal, new architectures




The new bijoux-designs by the French designer and architect Marion Vidal  ♦︎

Take a few ceramic elements, add small Carrara marble segments and join them with plexiglas thermoformed and hand polished in the South of France. Now sauté with gilt brass and, if necessary, a dash of vermeil. Mix well and, if you have carefully followed Marion Vidal’s recipe, you will obtain a pleasant, modern, lively jewel.

But, in fact, if you really want to imitate the French designer, you also need an architecture degree, like that of Marion Vidal, who interprets her bijoux as if they were compositions of elements from which a project for a monument, a house, a cathedral must arise . Made, however, according to the most essential, almost subversive philosophy of architecture. Imagine, therefore, conceiving a jewel by carefully studying surfaces and volumes, weight and shades, without considering the addition of secondary, redundant details. It is the goal that Marion Vidal has reached, and that is repeated with the new collections.

Marion Vidal’s jewels can be found in her boutique in Paris, but also in the online shop on the site, as well as in various cities of the world, from Los Angeles to Seoul, in the shops of some stylists (Paul Smith in London, Christian Wijnants in Antwerp ), and even in museums (Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris or in jewelery galleries (Macle in Beyrouth).

Andreoli hero of two worlds




From the sale of carpets in India,to Valenza, till up to the headquarters in Rockefeller Center in New York, so here is the high jewelry by Andreoli.
The work in Valenza, the success in the US. Andreoli is an American brand of haute joaillerie that started its journey in Italy in 1945, when the Hadjibay family has established itself in the trade of precious stones (we have also spoken here). Since 1970, the company has evolved and keeps the design and realization of pieces of fine jewelery in Valenza, Italy, while the market on which it operates is the American one. Seen the origins, not surprising that the protagonists of the collections are large stones, like brilliant diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires, as well as pearls, coral and turquoise. Not only that: in addition to gold Andreoli uses also platinum and titanium to create even impressive jewels, such as the large necklace with over 850 carats of rubies and 20 grams of beads. It must not be easy to wear in casual manner. The helm of the company is governed now by Caroline Hadjibay, who took the baton from Jack Hadjibay patriarch from his headquarters in Rockefeller Center in New York.

And to say that the history of the family started by Abraham Hadjibay, in India, where he sold the best Persian carpets. But we must add that Abraham’s father had sold gems to the czar of Russia. Abraham Hadjibay has focused from carpets to jewelery, the trade in precious stones. The son, Jack Hadjibay, then continued the business. The activity of the brand Andreoli, however, originated in Valenza, Italy, where it was founded in 1845. In 1920 Andreoli has launched her prêt-à-porter collection and immediately achieved success around the world. The two stories together have led to what is now one of the most famous brand of high jewelery.

Calestani’s rock silver




Soon it will be a silver anniversary. The marriage that has lasted for 30 years, however, is that between Claudio Calestani and his Milanese workshop, where he handcrafts rings, bracelets, but also silver buckles, his specialty. Calestani, however, is not just any jeweler: his style is very recognizable due to the connotation of the jeweler’s passions, rock, motorcycles and martial arts, which characterize his production. Furthermore, it is a profession that is also a family legacy: in Casalmaggiore (Cremona) the grandfather was one of the founders, a century ago, of the gold-plated Federal Goldsmiths Association and the United Factories.

Some symbols recur in Claudio Calestani’s production, such as the snake, which is also the icon of the Maison. Rings and bracelets are solid and voluminous, with rounded shapes, in some cases with burnished metal that adds volume and thickness to silver jewellery. The chains are sturdy, with links that add a special texture to the metal.
