The production of C.P. Gioielli in Vicenza, from silver to gold and precious stones, which doubles with the Afrodite brand ♦

In the great sea of ​​Italian jewelry, C.P. Gioielli. The company already has a history of over half a century: it was born in Vicenza in 1965. It was founded by Pietro Castegnaro, who immediately specialized in the production of silver jewelry. Not only white silver, however, but also plated, worked as if it were gold and combined with colored stones. The idea was successful and C.P. Gioielli has expanded its catalog to become truly vast, which includes numerous variations of the tennis style.

Gioielli is run by the founder’s son, Marco Castegnaro, who has modernized the production cycle with the use of new technologies and materials and the introduction of the Afrodite brand, which doubles the offer with silver and cubic zirconia jewels.

Emporio Armani for the winter

/




Armani is known throughout the world for clothing, but over the years the brand has ended up covering the entire outfit, including accessories and jewelry. Furthermore, the Milanese Maison has entrusted brands such as Emporio Armani with the task of reaching an audience that otherwise could not reach the production of the brand destined for the parent company. In short, Armani in a younger and more light-hearted version. As for the clothes, even for accessories and jewels, the collections follow one another with the changing seasons.

For autumn / winter 2021-2022, for example, Emporio Armani offers a series of gold-plated silver jewels with cultured freshwater pearls and crystals. The style is sober, but not too much and can please those looking for branded jewelry, with a classic look, but with a personality. Drop earrings, for example, feature two pearls which, however, are of different color and shape: a slight asymmetry, just enough to add a pinch of pepper on a traditional format. Prices fluctuate around 100-130 euros.

The Mediterranean Diet of Jrs

//




With Jrs all the nuances of Mediterranean cultures in the jewels of Julien Riad Sahyoun ♦ ︎

The mix of relationships, friendships, cultures is often a winning weapon. It opens the mind and, in the case of jewelery, opens the way for creativity This is the brackground of Julien Riad Sahyoun, born in Casablanca, Morocco but with French, Italian and Lebanese origins. In short, a juice of the Mediterranean Sea. It tells of itself as a nature lover, the kind of person who collects gems, rocks, fossils and minerals from a boy. From minerals to precious gems the step is short. His attitude led him to study at Gia in New York and California.

He then followed the trafila of experiences suitable to learn on the field the decisive nuances of stones and metals, and the secrets to forge and work the gold. The passion for nature has not abandoned it, but has evolved into a jewel brand, Jrs, distinguished by its specific ability to create jewels that have a pattern that reminiscent of reptile armor or rocky surfaces . But without forgetting signs like that of infinity, repeated infinitely. But perhaps the collection that Julien Riad Sahyoun likesmore is named Just Rebel Star: it has the very initials of his name, maybe he is also a kind of selfie.

Rue des Mille magnetism

The Stardust Magnetica collection by Rue des Mille, inspired by the world of the night.
In Via dei Mille (the number refers to the red shirts that followed Garibaldi) there are many in Italy. On the other hand, there is only one Rue des Mille. It is that of the Pieroni family, who four years ago in Lucca decided to launch their own brand with this brand, after a long activity of suppliers in the goldsmith sector. Giacomo and Tommas Pieroni, at the helm of the company together with their mother Antonella, have decided to make a change appropriate to the times. Silver jewels dipped in pink gold plating, which makes the jewels light, with an affordable price (on average it ranges from around 70 euros for a ring to 200 euros) and very modern.

For example, the Stardust Magnetica collection. The magnets have nothing to do with it: the rings, the numerous earrings, bracelets and necklaces made of silver plated with the addition of small cubic zirconia are aimed at attracting not iron, but people in flesh and blood, perhaps during an evening at the disco . In short, casual jewels, at an affordable price and aimed mainly at young women.

Gold, silver, platinum: will they cost more or less?




What will the price of gold be in 2022? And that of silver? What about platinum? Questions that all jewelers ask themselves, but also those who plan to buy a jewel or to sell it. The reason for so much curiosity is due to the increase in prices which in recent months has involved almost all raw materials, including metals. Gold, silver and platinum were also affected by the covid-19 pandemic, which for months partially held back mining and sales. Then, the economy restarted almost suddenly along with the demand for jewelry. So some prices went up a lot, but they also went down. How long will the uncertainty last?

Prezzo dell'oro, 1 anno
Prezzo dell’oro, 1 anno

Gold is a symbolic metal, and not just for jewelry. But it is not easy to predict the yellow metal. After hitting $ 2,000 nearly a year ago, the price per ounce dropped to just over $ 1,700 in October, its lowest level since March. A fall that was accelerated by the strength of the US dollar (when the dollar rises, gold usually falls). And, at the moment, it seems that the trend of weakness in prices is destined to continue, with the dollar being worth more (compared to the euro and the yen) and the cost of gold floating. Translated: in the coming months it should not increase, unless there are upheavals now not foreseen.
Prezzo dell'argento, 1 anno
Prezzo dell’argento, 1 anno

Silver followed the price of gold, as is almost always the case: it rose to a peak of $ 28.89 per ounce, arriving in autumn 2021 with an average of $ 22.64 per ounce. In short, it has deflated, but the operators of the metals market expect that the price will rise again. It seems, in fact, that silver jewels are the protagonists of a boom that is destined to last: they cost less, they sell more. There are those who predict, in fact, that silver will reach $ 30 per ounce next year and then rise to $ 50.

It must be borne in mind that the price of gold, silver and platinum is not only linked to the world of jewelry. Metals, even precious metals, are also used for some industrial productions. In the case of platinum, palladium and rhodium (often used in jewelry together with gold or silver), for example, the price has dropped. The cause, according to industry experts, is linked to the global shortage of chips, the processors used for electronics, but also for cars or household appliances. The shortage of chips slowed the production of automobiles and, as a result, depressed the cost of metals used in catalytic converters.

The price of platinum fell from $ 1,008.29 an ounce in August to $ 988.67 in October. On the other hand, the price had risen a lot last year, reaching 1,214 last May. The strong demand from the world of jewelry (with a 48% increase in demand), however, could keep the price of platinum at high levels, albeit at a lower than record level. Same trend for palladium and rhodium. Palladium dipped below the $ 2,000 mark for the first time since mid-2020, below the high of $ 3,000 it hit in May. And experts predict it will continue its descent. Rhodium was also affected by the shortage of chips and dropped from the level of previous months: it went from a price of 10,205 per ounce in February 2020 to 25,981 per ounce in April. Then it dropped to $ 12,850 in October.

The time of Oxette

The jewelry imaginative and accessible arriving from Greece proposed by Oxette.
It’s a shame when about a brand you know little. That is, if he sees the production, of course, but you do not know either owners or designers, who apparently prefer to remain in the shadows. It’s a shame because the greek Oxette brand, owned by the Perideo, a company located in Thessaloniki, shows a lot of creativity. The brand, very strong in Eastern Europe, it is proposed as a jewelry manufacturer (but also watches) at an affordable price. But, despite being unable to flaunt flashy diamonds or platinum for its collections, it compensates with a good dose of imagination.

Launched in Athens in 1998, today Oxette is a brand known in several countries, besides Greece, thanks to the wide distribution chain, which includes retail stores owned, franchising, shop-in-shops and corners. The jewels are almost always silver, sometimes with a gold plating, sometimes with the addition of zirconia. Some pieces are really different from usual. One of the latest collections is called Optimism: a perfect name to face these difficult years.

Adolfo Courrier actually conceals two people. Adolfo Courrier, of course, designer-looking dark, but also Alessandra Zanchetta.

The processing technique of its jewels is that of the artisan district where the Adolfo designs his works. The ideas on which it works, however, belong only to him, or better, to them. As the necklace with pendant in the shape of skull, but with sunglasses as skier. Or as in the collections that are a tribute to the artists of the Pop Art. The style of the jewels is defined sensual and chic, often communicated with images that recall the world of fashion. But this is not fashion jewelry, simply linked to a passing fashion.

It’s Tiffany time

//





Watches or precious jewels? Perhaps the ones presented by Tiffany & Co. are both together. Tiffany Eternity are diamonds surrounded by timepiece mechanisms, made to please, amaze and show off. On the other hand, since everyone has a smartphone in their pocket, they certainly don’t need to look at their wrists to know what time it is. And since there are smart watches, more and more loaded with functions, the watch has become more like a bracelet than a practical object. That’s why bracelets in the shape of dials with moving hands can play a role.

Tiffany Eternity in oro bianco, diamanti, cinturino in gros grain nero
Tiffany Eternity in oro bianco, diamanti, cinturino in gros grain nero

The jewel watches, in two sizes of 28 and 32 millimeters, are offered in two versions: in pink or white gold. The shape is inspired by a series of Tiffany & Co. advertisements from the 1960s and 1970s. The dial, in fact, instead of the numbers shows off 12 diamonds of as many different cuts, one for each hour: brilliant cut (12 o’clock), baguette (instead of number 1), cushion (2), Tiffany True (3), marquise ( 4), Asscher (5), heart (6), teardrop (7), oval (8), emerald (9), triangular (10) and princess (instead of the number 11). Tiffany Eternity watches are Swiss Made and each model includes two straps: one in black grosgrain and one in black alligator.

Not only that: the crown of the watch is inspired by the Tiffany Setting engagement ring with the classic six-pronged setting introduced by the Maison, which is combined with the brilliant-cut diamonds that frame the case. Tiffany’s Swiss craftsmen take over 13 hours to make each watch, from the construction of the case to the hand setting of each diamond. The prices are accordingly: 27,200 or 38,000 euros.

Ofée Joaillerie reinvents the earrings and want to combine luxury with democracy ♦

Ofée Joaillerie was born in Paris in 2006 with an ambitious goal: to democratize jewelry. To achieve this, the designer Anne-Bougon Scelo has found place in Rue de Bac, Left Bank of the Seine, the traditionally “creative district” in Paris. In fact, the air of the many art galleries in the area and the nearby Sorbonne have pushed this Parisian jewelery to become not only democratic, but also innovative. The jewelry is quality, with 18k gold, diamonds and precious materials, but at prices affordable after all.

In 2009, the brand opened a corner on the ground floor of the Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. Now it distributes its creations in over 40 stores in France and abroad. This success is the result not only of a more reasonable price than the quality of the proposed jewels, but also the simple style, linear, but also very creative. As evidenced by this set of jewels taken from his collections.

Let’s imagine the leBebé woman as the protagonist of a life dedicated to color. For her we have created a jewel inspired by happiness and the desire to share it with others. With our new proposals we fully respond to this renewed desire for color: in fact, we present jewels with a strong emotional appeal, in a combination of design, high Italian craftsmanship and eco-sustainability.

The new Lovely collection of the I Classici line consists of pendants with enameled shapes and rings with ecological colored stones. The jewels are made in full leBebé style, with pendants representing the iconic baby and girl silhouettes, hand-decorated and glazed with the champlevé technique, enriched with a natural stone in chromatic harmony with the subject. For example, with Bee Brave, a design that represents a small bee that lands on 9-karat yellow gold, together with a citrine quartz. The figure That’s Amore on 9-karat white gold, on the other hand, draws a heart with an arrow, a symbol of love, while Be my Lucky (Bug) represents the silhouette of a lucky ladybug, made of enamel and with black spinel. The price indicated to the public is 340 euros.

New bracelets from Les Georgettes

Those looking for good Vibrations to experience autumn can look for an Illusion with Gigi and seal it all with a Ruban (French word meaning bow). These are the names of the four variations on the modular bracelet theme proposed for the new season by the French brand Les Georgettes by Altesse, specialized in accessories handmade in France, customizable with interchangeable and reversible colored leatherette inserts.

The names proposed for the new lines of bracelets, in reality, do not have a close relationship on the style of the bijoux, made as always in metal with yellow, pink or silver gold finishes, and imitation leather in different colors. What changes, however, are the textures that make up the design of the different objects, in a wide (25 mm) or narrower (8 mm) version, to which rings made with the same style are added. The prices are quite affordable and range from 69 euros (ring) to 159 euros (the most expensive bracelet).

Chains, mon amour. This jewelry format is not missing (almost) in the catalog of all brands, including PdPaola. The Spanish Maison, which has long been launched to conquer the European market, offers a collection that is simply called The Chain. The chains are hand-polished and plated with 3 microns of 18-karat gold, or in plain shiny silver.

The chains then become necklaces, bracelets, earrings and a ring. The jewels have medium and large sizes.

Indicative prices: a pair of earrings in silver only or gold plated 125 euros, large necklace 359 euros, small 299 euros, bracelet 179 euros, ring 55 euros.

The price of laboratory diamonds is dropping




Diamonds created in a laboratory, but it would be more accurate to say in a factory, conquer many buyers. They are completely identical, from a chemical point of view, to natural diamonds and, above all, they cost less. Much less. Compared to two or three years ago, the cost (and value) of diamonds manufactured by man with sophisticated machines has decreased by about a third. Will this trend continue? How far will the value of synthetic diamonds drop? Should you buy them now or is it better to wait? These are questions that often arise among those who are about to buy a diamond jewel, especially rings and earrings.

The scenario has changed for two reasons. The first is the entry on the market of De Beers, the colossus that extracts natural diamonds from the earth and which also markets jewelry made with these stones. In 2018, surprisingly, De Beers announced that it would start selling lab-created diamond jewelry. To many it seemed a paradoxical decision, a way to compete at home. But the success of the Lightbox brand, destined for jewelry with artificial diamonds, seems to prove De Beers right. But Lightbox has also stunned the market with much lower prices than the competition: $ 200 for a 0.25-carat diamond jewel, $ 400 for a half-carat, $ 600 for 0.75-carat and 800 for a diamond ring. 1 carat. Prices immediately fell by almost 30%.

The second factor that has contributed to lower prices is the evolution of technology, which today allows for the creation of diamonds at an ever lower cost. While until a few years ago it was very difficult to obtain artificial diamonds of over 3 carats, now the production process seems much easier and for small stones the price is now very low.

To these reasons is added the success decreed by consumers. Thus, the market price of lab-created diamonds has dropped considerably on average, with some ups and downs in 2019. According to some analysts, one of the reasons for the success is related to the covid pandemic. Meetings via Zoom, for example, could be behind the great demand for laboratory diamond earrings: no one will go to verify the origin of those stones worn on a computer screen. Sales, in fact, continue to increase and prices, according to Virtual Diamond Boutique, only dropped by 3% this year.

Obviously, the descent cannot continue indefinitely, but the climate of competition between producers seems to bring the diamonds created in the laboratory ever closer to the so-called fine jewelry, to get closer to the world of fashion. Simple diamonds, to buy and to change when you want to renew your jewels box. Not diamonds that are forever, in short, but only for a moment.

The Lesson of Fotini Psarouli




Fotini Psarouli, a modern jewel teacher in ancient Athens ♦ ︎

From years, Greek jewelry is one of the most innovative. There are many designers who have appeared on the international scene with jewels of a very modern style, usually with the preference for geometric shapes, as if the ancient architecture of Greece of Fidia has concentrated on straight lines and sharp corners that form earrings and rings, often amazing.

This array of modern jewelery authors in the shadow of the Parthenon has, however, an ideal mother: Fotini Psarouli. For years Fotini has taught the new generations of aspiring jewelers in Athens the techniques of craftsmanship. But she herself creates handmade jewelry, often unique pieces. His passion is gold, but he also experiences pieces with other metals. Even in the case of Fotini Psarouli, Euclidean geometry is the basis of its compositions, but with obvious exceptions when it adds to straight lines of irregular shapes. The price of jewelery is generally under one thousand euros.
