Published on
She is a self-taught designer, yet Solange Azagury-Partridge has become one of the emerging names in the jewelry (https://gioiellis.com/la-fantasia-solare-di-solange). She fills the pages of newspapers and now is also courted by the big chains distribution. With a decision that has horrified many great Maison, her latest initiative is a collection of silver rings, Hotlips for Amazon. The new range is based on the design of the original ring, launched in 1995 and worn by stars such as Scarlett Johansson, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry. The Hotlips for Amazon are made of silver with a lacquered finish and cost 93 euro. A minimum amount compared to the price of its jewels.
Solange Azagury-Partridge began his career in London jeweler Butler & Wilson, and then by Gordon Watson, where he developed an interest in antique jewelry. Her first jewel designed in 1987, was her engagement ring: a rough diamond in a gold band. In 1990 he opened his own store in London. Then, she was recruited by Tom Ford, to work with Boucheron: three years as creative director. But she wanted to go his own way, with a design far away from the classical jewellery. Her jewels are able to shock the purists. Use strong colors, unusual shapes, often with ironic choices, as a ring with a shape of cup of coffee. Matilde de Bounvilles

Philo of novelty
Published on
It’s called Philo. The greek word meaning “friend of”, while in Italian language sounds like the word filo (wire), which for Encicolpedia Treccani can be defined as “long, thin metal rod obtained from round laminated, using a special cold ironing called wire drawing” . But Philo is now also a brand, born by Stefano Guagliumi , founder of the brand Snob OpsObjects and Milan, and Sergio Acquaviva. The proposal is quite simple: to create a jewel of gold thread, suitable for all. And with an affordable price. One of the differences with other products using gold threads and small trinkets is, for example, the description of how it is made a jewel: this is completely absent in other brands. Here it is described as the machining of a Philo bracelet: “The process begins with the creation of the channel by melting metal, which is then rolled up to the square section of 1 mm side through two annealings and 8 rolling phases. Then begins the drawing process in multiple passes until obtaining a Philo of 0.6mm diameter passing through a further annealing. The Philo is allowed to cool and then is pickled, cut to size and polished. This process results in a wire of the right softness, which will assume the natural forms of the wrist and takes life on it. Iconic elements are obtained by precision casting, have a small cylinder within which is inserted an even smaller cylinder rubber tube, which allows the element to be slipped on Philo and, by friction, positioned in the preferred position. The whole process is proudly Made in Italy.”
