Leonardo on the hand with De Re

Published on August 23, 2022

Rings and bracelets inspired by the plots painted by Leonardo da Vinci in Milan. He proposes them De Re ♦ ︎

There are those who are inspired by flowers, those who design usual lucky charms, those who propose jewelery in the shape of a heart or a star. Then, there is a craft jewelery in Udine (Italy) that follows a different idea: bijoux inspired by art and science. The bijoux by Monica De Re, in fact, are reworkings of masterpieces of the past, handmade with the American processing technique that replicates the work of jewelery, using ductile materials that allow the stones to be easy set.

For example, for the 500 years since the death of Leonardo da Vinci, the designer was inspired by the genius of the Renaissance. In particular, the plant decorations found in the Sala delle Asse of the Sforza Castle in Milan, painted by Leonardo during his stay in the Lombard city between 1497 and 1499. The collection consists of bracelets and rings that recreate the effect of bonds and knots painted in this Leonardo masterpiece.

The bijoux are made of metal alloy, both in the version with antiqued gold finish and in the one in antiqued palladium, with embedding of Swarovski stones. The ring is available in two versions, high and low. Also this is worked in metallic fusion technically rendered with flat bas-relief, where knots, leaves and blackberries are visible which, in the hand setting of the stones are rubies. The ring is also developed on three floors compressed into a minimal millimeter scale realized in the antique gold variant and siam stones or antique palladium and light sapphire stones. The low ring has a smaller size and is found in the antique gold and antique palladium versions.

In addition to Leonardo da Vinci, the designer drew inspiration from the traditions of Venice, with a series of jewels in which the icon of the Moor appears. As in the bracelet with four circles in brass bathed in 24 carat gold, with a dark brown turban with crystals. Worn on the ear by men of the sea, during the maritime republic of Venice, the icon was a good luck charm. And still like it. Or to inspire Monica De Re can also be the enigmatic drawings in the Peruvian desert of Nazca, proposed in galvanic ruthenium, antiqued palladium and gold.

London-and Los Angele based designer Brooke Gregson: high-end jewelry with a mysterious flavor. ♦

Brooke Gregson was born in Los Angeles and works between London and California. The designer became famous among the emerging jewelers on the banks of the Thames thanks to a collection dedicated to the constellations, between astrology and astronomy, followed by many others in which the protagonists are colored gems. The Astrology collection is composed of simple pendants in brushed gold, on which small diamonds mark the lines that make up the constellations of the zodiac. It is no coincidence: the designer has in fact also studied astronomy, in addition to the classic gemology that was used to revolutionize the proposal of her collections.

Another collection that has been successful, in fact, is called Planetary, and is also based in this case to the stars, with Martians earrings and crescent moons. Nothing bizarre, you know: also in this case the jewelry is gold and and diamonds, absolutely terrestrial. Another trail route from Brooke is that of silk combined with large stones: there are so several bracelets in which this material is interwoven with gold and combines with large stones like emeralds and diamonds. Speaking of stones: another feature of the brand is to propose unusual cuts, even irregular. Like Nefertiti necklace with a large opal skewed framed by gold and diamonds (it costs 8255 pounds). Her jewelry can be found in some world class shopping in the UK, USA, France, Germany, Japan and Dubai.

Do you have a jewel with an olive green stone? It is probably a peridot. Here are the characteristics of the peridot, stone of the month of August, and the advice for choosing ♦

Peridot is all the rage. In addition to being the stone of the month of August, it is loved by those jewelers who like colors with a strong personality, which cannot be confused with others. And the olive color of the peridot is undoubtedly unique. Peridot has a shade of warm green: it will therefore be perfect for those with tanned skin, or simply Mediterranean, or darker. But, of course, peridot can be combined with other gems or set in a very wide setting: in this case it can also stand out on colder complexions.

What is it. Peridot, which from a gemological point of view is a chrysolite, is not a very common stone. This semi-precious stone is found mainly in depth (even 200-300 kilometers below the earth’s crust): the gems that are used in jewelry have been brought to the earth’s surface over time, by earthquakes or volcanoes.

Where is it. A variety of peridot is mined in Arizona (they are small and lighter colored gems), in the Republic of Myanmar (Burma), in Sri Lanka and China, but also in Pakistan and Kenya. A curiosity: some peridots have been discovered inside some meteorites.

Features. Unlike many other gemstones, peridot has only one color: the pale green. however, it can take different shades, from olive green, lime, yellow or dark. The shades most in demand is the green forest, a little ‘to yellow and no brown tinge. The depth of green depends on the amount of iron which is contained in the crystal structure. It is not a very hard stone: you have to be careful, then, not to scratch it. Usually jewelers try to arrange it so that it is most protected.

Collier Nudo, in oro giallo, peridoto e tanzaniti — Collier Nudo, in oro giallo, peridoto e tsavoriti by Pomellato

Buying Guide. If you want a jewel with a peridot a certain size, know that the commercial quality is divided into classes A and B. The first are clear, without brown tones. Those quality B have a paler color or have visible inclusions. It is also a relatively inexpensive gemstone if the weight is under 4 carats. Over 10 carat peridot become very rare and expensive.

Why is it called peridot? The origin of the name peridot is not known precisely. Certainly, however, the stone was appreciated in ancient times. According to some, the word derives from an alteration of the Anglo-Norman language pedoretés, translated into classical Latin with pæderot. Others indicate that the French name peridot derives from the Arabic word faridat, which means jewel. The stone, in fact, has been known for thousands of years: it was already used by the ancient Egyptians around 1500 BC, who called peridot the “gem of the sun”. Cleopatra also apparently liked these gems, who flaunted them.The largest olivine peridot is a 310-carat (62 grams) specimen in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC.

Sharra Pagano, over half a century of one of the historical Italian jewelery brands and still capable of innovating ♦

Fashion & Jewelry. Or, more correctly, Fashion & Bijoux: the Sharra Pagano brand is associated with the roaring years of Italian fashion, when labels such as Armani, Moschino, Versace were imposed. In 1969 Lino Raggio and Gianfranco Signori launched this brand that still plays with the theatricality of the jewel composed without using precious materials, but precious ideas. With resins, for example, and more rarely with amethysts, topazes, tourmalines, citrine quartz, aventurine, rock crystals, obsidian, garnets, pearls.

But in reality most of the fashion bijoux that have become part of history are glass, plastic and rhinestones. In addition to having collaborated (and still collaborate) with some of the great fashion brands and designers, such as Walter Albini, Enrico Coveri and Francesco Moschino, Sharra Pagano has played a role in the world of theater and lyrical music. Famous fans were the soprano Renata Tebaldi and the historic rival Maria Callas. The brand has always had a recognizable style: jewels with accentuated, showy, almost theatrical volumes, with a curious marriage between Baroque and Art Deco. Large necklaces, tiaras, chandelier earrings: they seem inspired by a life in the front row. They will not please those who want to go unnoticed, but those bijoux are loved from those who aspire to a life as a protagonist.

The company also produces jewelry for third parties: the turnover of licenses weighs 55% and that of the Sharra Pagano brand 45%. Today the brand is owned by Giuseppe Fredella, president of the Italian Fashion Jewelery Association. But the production is still entirely carried out in Italy, in the Milan laboratory, by expert craftsmen who, in some cases, are the children of those who started producing 50 years ago.

The jewels of the Roman designer Federica Tosi: Nina Zilli, Illary Blasi and … like them ♦ ︎

“Jewelry is the natural completion of the clothing collection,” explains Federica Tosi. And it is a common opinion that, in this case, has a different flavor. Because she is the designer of the clothing and jewelry lines that bear her name. Federica Tosi is one of the new names, but with several fans already, of Roman fashion. And it is one of the few cases of designers who deal with both the clothing line (she has presented his collections also at high fashion shows in Rome) and jewelry.

The rings, earrings and necklaces are in brass or silver bathed in rose, yellow and burnished gold. But behind the designer has the appreciation of a series of characters from the world of Italian entertainment, such as Nina Zilli, Ilary Blasi, Fiorella Mannoia, Laura Pausini, Rocío Muñoz Morales, Nicoletta Romanoff, Camilla Filippi, Lucia Mascino, Valentina Romani, Matilde Gioli and Stella Egypt. Federica Tosi’s career, she says, began by chance after a trip to the United States in 2006, where she discovered the art of composition with crystals, which she then used for her jewelry collections, now also sold from online stores such as LuisaViaRoma. After a period of professional growth, the Federica Tosi brand was born in 2016. But it has already been successful.

How much does a pearl necklace cost

Published on July 28, 2022

Campus

How much does a pearl necklace cost? The pearl necklace is a piece of jewelry that is rarely missing in a woman’s drawer. It is not strange, therefore, that those who want to buy one wonder how much a pearl necklace is. Of course, it is easy to understand that the question, posed in this way, is a bit generic. For two reasons: pearls are not all the same and have huge price differences. Furthermore, the price is also determined by two other factors: the number of pearls used and their size. That said, let’s see how to understand what the true price of a pearl necklace can be.

If you have searched the web for the cost of a pearl necklace you will have noticed that there are necklaces that cost a few tens of euros or dollars, up to thousands of euros or dollars. So what does it depend on?

The quality of the pearls
The price of a pearl necklace is primarily determined by the quality of the small beads used. Natural uncultivated pearls, those found at the bottom of the sea by an underwater prospector, are very rare and very expensive. Better not to consider them if you don’t have a bank account with more than six zeros.
Most commonly, the value of a quality cultured pearl is a few hundred euros. Cultured pearls are 99.99% of those on the market and are completely identical to pearls that form spontaneously in the species of molluscs that produce them.

La collana di perle Palawan — La collana di perle dorate Palawan South Sea

Cultured pearls, like precious stones, are not all the same, but they are classified according to quality standards. The value is determined by the shape, size, color, surface, quality of the mother of pearl and luster. Each of these factors determines the value of the pearl.

How much does a pearl necklace cost
There is also the type determined by the origin: pearls can be very different from each other. In general, the pearls that cost the most are those of the South Seas, which have colors ranging from white to gold, the most expensive, produced by the Pinctada maxima mollusk. Necklaces with this type of pearls cost thousands of euros or dollars. Freshwater pearls, on the other hand, can cost just a few tens of euros or dollars.

If you like dark pearls, with colors ranging from gray to purplish, you can opt for dark Tahitian pearls. Again the price is determined by their quality and the number of pearls used for a necklace. You can find Tahitian pearl necklaces that cost less than a thousand euros or dollars, up to tens of thousands of euros / dollars.

The classic round white pearls are often Akoya. They were the first pearls to be cultivated in Japan. They are a little smaller than those of the South Seas and have a more affordable price, ranging from a few hundred euros / dollars up to a few thousand (again for size, number and quality), but less than Tahitian pearls.

The least expensive pearls are freshwater pearls. As is immediately understandable, these pearls are grown in river or lake water, especially in China and Japan. They are available in different shapes, sizes and colors. The best ones look a lot like Akoya pearls, but cost much less: a string of fresh aqua pearls can also be found for a few tens of euros / dollars. The best necklaces, however, easily exceed one thousand euros / dollars. What makes them different? First of all, freshwater pearls are generated by Margaritifera margaritifera, a variety of mussels. Akoya pearls are instead produced from a type of oyster.

Investing in a pearl necklace can be a good idea. If they are cleaned and maintained constantly over time, pearls retain or increase their value. But only high-quality jewelry has a market. In short, if you buy a pearl necklace that is cheap, have fun wearing it, but don’t think you can resell it in the future.

The embroideries of Laurent Gandini

Collana con cuore ex voto in oro 9 carati

In Milan, a designer who follows the popular tradition of ex votos and interprets it in a refined way: Laurent Gandini ♦

The popular tradition, like that of ex-votos (precious objects that are found in Catholic churches for a grace received from some saint) is transformed into jewels: Laurent Gandini is a designer who loves the present looking to the past. He lives and works in Milan since 1990, with a style in contrast to the minimalism of many of his colleagues. Gandini takes inspiration from the folk tradition but, of course, reworked to create very complex jewelry, which require a long and precise work. Symbols and myths have become metal embroidery, precious lace that make earrings, necklaces or rings.

They are not only related to the sacred environment, but also from profane superstition or, perhaps, the nineteenth-century iconography. It is almost obvious that such jewelry is the result of a work which is also anchored to the past, from the traditional manual realization, through the technique of lost wax. Farewell galvanization: here files are used on the metal, and the stones are popular ones, such as rock crystal. Prices: it depends on the version of the jewelry, if silver or gold. For example, a pair of earrings in silver filigree cost 350 Euros, while for the same model, but in gold, you go up to 1350 euro.

Bracciale in bachelite, platino, diamanti

The ultra-vintage bracelets by Mark Davis, the old bakelite brought back to life ♦ ︎

There are simple, popular jewels, like the modular bracelets. There are the jewels of super luxury, like the bracelets of Cartier or Bulgari. And there are niche jewels, reserved for fans of a certain genre, such as vintage jewelry. Finally, there are ultra-niche jewels. Thus defines his production Mark Davis, who founded his brand in 1999, proudly in Brooklyn, New York, where he proudly produces his jewels. Why ultra-niche? Well, because the bracelets, which make up a large part of the production, are unique pieces. Not only. They are made with Bakelite. Not only. This is Bakelite recovered from objects made before the Second World War.

The idea of producing such sophisticated jewelry goes along with a rigorous corporate ethics: no use of gems from a group or a country that engages or supports illegal, inhuman or terrorist activities, no coral, ivory or any other material derived from fauna or flora listed as threatened or threatened. It also opposes the use of coral and antique or vintage ivory. Finally, every year, Mark Davis donates some jewels for fundraising events to charitable organizations. That said, all that remains is to look at the Mark Davis jewelery. Most are rigid bracelets, even with acid, bright colors, and with gold threads and small precious and semi-precious stones that are used to increase the value of jewelry. The bracelets, which make up the bulk of the catalog, were then joined by earrings and rings, also in Bakelite.

The world is divided into two: those who love color photos and those who appreciate those in black and white. There are two schools of thought, both of them with good reasons, which also meet in jewelery. There are those who draw only wondrous collections of colored stones and elaborate shapes, and those who prefer simplicity. Among the latter, who are standard bearers of minimal philosophy, is the super New Yorker Eva Zuckerman, who founded Eva Fehren and won the Best in Bridal at Couture Awards 2018. Why super New Yorker?

Because she not only emphasizes that she was born and lives in the skyscrapers, but also has her roots in a precinct Manhattan neighborhood, the East Village. She was born, grown and lived, in short, close to those tall buildings that throw net shadows on the ground. And perhaps this is her source of inspiration: her jewels are agile, with net forms, with no superfluity. Most are also in black and white: dark gold, white diamonds or vice versa. With time it has expanded her offer also to jewelry in pink gold and stones, but always without abandoning its monochrome philosophy, in a perfect mood recalling Woody Allen’s films.

His creations had as their subject, above all, natural elements, animals and women, with the style of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

Lalique was not only an expert in gold and precious stones, but also a glassmaker and object designer. He worked for Cartier, designed jewels for Sarah Bernhardt and was a star of the 1900s Universal Exhibition in Paris. In 1945, his company, which had expanded its activity to crystal objects, was pursued to A bit from his nephew, Marie-Claude. Lalique brand has come back to full strength in 2008 when it was bought by Swiss Art & Fragrance, under the management of Silvio Denz.

Giorgio Armani, an icon of the fashion world, reached the age of 88 without seeing his fame and creative ability tarnished, today entrusted to a solid group of designers.

The bijoux are made of gold-colored brass and enamel.

Prices range from 129 to 139 euros. But, alongside this line, Emporio Armani offers many others, also made of sterling silver in gold tones and with the addition of crystals.

When a jewel is copied, it is damage to the company that sells the originals, but it is also a sign of success. How it happened to the brand of Roberto Spadarella from Romagna, who managed to create a small empire of silver jewelry, with 23 direct sales points in Italy, as well as an efficient e-commerce service. A story born in 1983, with the opening of the first goldsmith’s shop in Riccione, a town on the Adriatic Sea.

In the 1990s, after learning the goldsmith’s secrets, Spadarella decided to conquer space in silver and stone jewelery, which has become the hallmark of the Maison. The company calls Le Roi Soleil – Spadarella Gioielli and in 2006 the founder received the award for best designer at the Ecat de Mode in Paris. A recognition that serves to make Spadarella also reach other European markets, such as Spain, Portugal, France, Greece, England, but also in America and the Middle East. The catalog of silver jewels is very vast and embraces different styles: from the Gothic-punk one, to the geometric, floral, animal … The prices are low: for a pair of earrings the maximum price is 100 euros, but in average is about half.

The Romagna brand has roots firmly planted in reality: in spring 2022 it proposed a special edition bracelet of the classic model, with the colors of Ukraine. For each bracelet sold, the company has decided to tame the aid campaigns that Unicef and Doctors Without Borders have put in place in Ukraine 10 euros.

The unlimited imagination of Lorenz Bäumer, from engineering studies to Palce Vendôme ♦

Born in Washington to a French mother and German father, a diplomat, with a career as an engineer behind: Lorenz Bäumer has become instead a great jeweler. If you are delighted to dazzle for jewelry, you must visit in his boutique in Place Vendome, opened near big as Chaumet, Boucheron and Cartier. He, frankly, to the other jewelers has nothing to envy. Indeed, he would stress, with irony, that among the great jewelers “I am the only one alive.” His first creation was a ring-shaped vortex of gold surrounding a diamond, called Wave: he explains that loves the beach and practice surfing.

His style is well defined. Gold threads that draw complicated but simple arabesques, large colored gemstones, forms also cheerful, not very practiced in fine jewelery, which usually prefers to follow the tradition. Instead Lorenz Bäumer loves the joy, the combination irreverent, as the collection Good Girl / Bad Girl, as rings with revolver set in a cross with diamonds blacks and whites. Or the unusual Garden cubist, with stones that overlap in a kind of precious architecture. If you love luxury, but also the surprise, they are the jewels for you. Here is a selection of jewels.

Pear-shaped diamond rings

Do you want to buy a diamond ring? Consider the idea of a diamond with pear cut. Here’s what to know before choosing a diamond with pear cut ♦

Usually the classic diamond ring has a brilliant cut stone. That is, with a perfectly round cut. Another variant is the princess cut, which has the advantage of minimizing the scraps resulting from diamond cutting. But if you like a slightly less used, less conventional form, you could choose the diamond pear-cut.

How to wear diamond pear cut

The pear cut is a mixture between a marquise cut, as an eye shape, and a brilliant cut. The drop shape, if it is mounted on a ring, should preferably be worn with the point pointed to the nail, because it makes the fingers look more slender.

The pear cut diamond is six hundred years old

This particular diamond cut was created by Lodewyk van Berquem, Belgium, in the early 1400s. Van Berquem has been an innovator in diamond cutting technology and has also introduced new ways of polishing: some of his innovations are still used today.

The shape of the pear diamond

The pear cut diamond uses 71 or 58 triangle-shaped facets, depending on the size, weight, and type of stone. It is not easy to cut a diamond with this shape, also because this type of shape involves a lot of waste. Also for this reason the jewels that use a pear-shaped diamond are quite rare compared to more common cuts.

Why choose a pear cut

Although it is more difficult to cut, pear shape has some advantages. For example, with the arrangement of the facets, any inclusions may be more difficult to detect. Conversely, in diamonds with less facets such as Asscher or Emerald Cut, inclusions are much more visible. Pear cutting also offers a benefit to those who wear it, since it tends to make your fingers more tapered.

How to choose a pear diamond

It must be perfectly symmetrical.
The tip should not be rounded.
Let it rotate under the light: it must not have “black spots”, that is, without reflections.
Read carefully the certificate of the gemmological institute that evaluated the stone. An identical for a quality stone should have these characteristics: good cut, color H, clarity: SI1, 56-70% percentage depth, table 53-62%, length-width ratio 1.45-1.70.
