Ebony luxury for Qayten

Published on February 24, 2021

Jewelry made with wood, but of luxury. Indeed, of design. The small and refined Bolognese maison Qayten has created the TT collection with a choice that is not usual in the world of jewelry. The pieces in the collection, in fact, are made with what is the oldest material used by man: wood. But this is not a random choice. The wood, dark ebony and very solid, resistant and with veins of warm shades, is accompanied by gold and diamond inserts. It is a return to the origins of civilization: the first jewels worn by women, thousands of years ago, were made of wood.

But it is also a choice that alludes to nature, even if the Maison makes it clear that the ebony used has an ethical origin. The jewels feature an elaborate design, with bracelets and necklaces made up of a puzzle of elements with sinuous, soft shapes, which make the volumes of the jewel seem in motion. The collection consists of a bracelet, two necklaces, two pairs of earrings and a ring.

Qayten between flexible rings, enamel and unique pieces

There are many Maison of jewels that, like Qayten, have decided to offer flexible rings and bracelets, which adapt to the circumference of the fingers. But everyone does it in his own way. Furthermore, it is not enough to propose elasticity, but it is also necessary that the jewel is pleasant, as well as easy to wear.

Qayten’s EZ collection was proposed in 2018, but is continuously renewed. Presented as eternity-style rings with colored stones, from rubies to sapphires, the series of jewels has evolved without changing its name, becoming a line of rings that look little less like the initial ones. But the Maison of Bologna is confirmed eclectic even with completely different rings such as those in gold, enamel of different colors and diamonds. In any case, there is no shortage of unique pieces, such as the Pompidou ring, which is inspired by the architecture of the Paris exhibition center: gold, diamonds and sapphires make up ellipses reminiscent of the large exposed pipes arranged around the perimeter of the museum.

Two Pompidou for Qayten

Qayten presents at Couture in Las Vegas bracelet and necklace inspired by the Center Pompidou in Paris ♦ ︎

The small but ingenious Maison of Bologna (Italy) Qayten has planned to participate in Couture with several newnesses. Here are two of them: Pompidou necklace and bracelet. But the inspiration of the jewels does not refer in particular to the former French head of state, Georges Pompidou, as to the Parisian museum that bears his name.

The Center George Pompidou, designed by architects Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano, is a work of art that contains works of art, a structure that cannot be forgotten. Qayten has transformed the surprising lines of the Center Pompidou into daring jewels. And, as for the Parisian building, the jewels are original sculptures, in this case to be worn. The jewels are made of 18 carat yellow or white gold and diamonds. But the innovative technical aspects are important: the use of an innovative gold flexible hose makes bracelets and necklace easily wearable, since they are elastic, so as to combine design and contemporary with fit.

Who will be in the Design Room of VicenzaOro: Alessio Boschi makes his debut, comes Garavelli and … ♦ ︎

In the countdown in view of VicenzaOro September, organized by the Italian Exhibition Group and scheduled in Vicenza from 22 to 26 September 2018, the scope of one of the most awaited sections, The Design Room, is now outlined with greater precision. Introduced a couple of editions ago, the area is reserved for particularly significant signatures of jewelry design. In the September 2018 edition, the area sees some confirmation and several new features. First of all, the number of designers changes: from 12 in the first edition, to January 2017, to the 11th of last January, to 8 September 2018. Among the Design Room aficionados, for this edition there are Qayten, an innovative boutique which always arouses great interest, Alessa Jewelery, a brand born from the love between designers Yuvraj Pahuja and Alessandra Robles, and the Italian-Brazilian Bia Tambelli. An exceptional debut is that of the talented Alessio Boschi, an Italian designer with a world profile, which until now has only been present at Baselworld. Other novelties are represented by the Cedille brand, created by Carmen Aoun in 2015, from the exotic collections of Inspiration Jewels and the simplicity of Syna. And more, the historic Garavelli brand is moved-up to the Design Room. In reality it is a matter of a few meters, because the Piedmontese Maison was previously located in the Icon area of VicenzaOro, inside which is the Design Room area. It is no coincidence that last year Garavelli won a prestigious Design Award at the Couture in Las Vegas.

Precious Nexus with Qayten

A collection to be framed: Nayus by Qayten on the stage of the Couture in Las Vegas ♦ ︎
Nexus, Latin word meaning link. A friendship, for example. Or, even closer nexus, a bond of love. This concept of connection has inspired one of the most voted Italian companies to innovation, creativity and originality in the world of jewelry. Also these concepts, for the Bolognese Qayten, are ideas that have a link. And Nexus is the name of the collection that the brand has decided to bring to the Couture of Las Vegas, one of the world’s stages where the most precious, and even the most daring, jewelry designers are compared. The collection includes a bracelet with leather strap, but also a ring and a princely necklace.
The jewels are made with diamonds that frame blue-purple tanzanites, in a tzavorite weave woven with an imperceptible thread by the hands of skilled artisans, to seal a bond that holds the eternity of works of art. About nexus: Qayten is a Sanskrit word, the ancient language of India, which means “origin”. And it is from a origin of something that a nexus is generated.

Who is there, who is not there and who you must discovered among the 11 designers invited to VicenzaOro January in the Design Room ♦ ︎
Aida Bergsen, Akillis, Fernando Jorge, Bia Tambelli, Alissa jewelry, BebPop, Kellyxia Fine Jewelry, Magerit, Noor Jewelry, Netali Nissim, Qayten, Federica Rettore. There are 11 invited creators in the The Design Room district at the next VicenzaOro January 2018. The area reserved for small Maisons created by young, emerging designers and, possibly, with something more to say. Compared to last year, when this exhibition area was introduced, there are some confirmations, such as Federica Rettore, Netali Nissim, Magerit, Qayten and Fernando Jorge. The novelties, however, start with Aida Bergsen, which despite the Nordic name is based in Istanbul and is a designer-sculptor. Akillis is a Maison in Paris created by Caroline Gaspard, who describes herself as «une aventurière, audacieuse et determinée». Kellyxia, instead, is a Chinese company, based in Shanghai, also ignored by Google until now. Finally, Noor Jewelry is the brand by Noor Fares, a Lebanese designer who grew up in Paris and moved to London, already highly listed. In short, the Design Room includes well-established brands such as Fernando Jorge, Magerit, Qayten or Federica Rettore along with names that are literally to be discovered. Perhaps to increase curiosity. Lavinia Andorno

Qayten on the wave

Waves and Passion in the great design of the small Maison Bolognese Qayten: here are the novelties ♦
What is creativity, if not an inspiration invading your spirit as a wave? And why the unstoppable force of wave motion has always been associated with passion? Finally, maybe you can’t say “riding the wave” to indicate being fashionable? All the concepts summarized in the new work of Qayten, small Bolognese Maison with design in its DNA and with great ability to innovate (and astonish).
Qayten chose the Couture stage in Las Vegas to present the Ola collection (wave in spanish). And the collection’s necklace is a sea part, where the foam is composed of diamonds, while the blue of the water is summed up with sapphires of different shades. In the grand Nevada happening, Qayten also brings other classy pieces, such as the new Jingle collection necklaces, and the Tribute collection’s diamond festival with rings, earrings and the Passion necklace with marquise or pear cut stones, Which provide a dazzling glow.

Qayten sounding Jingle

Waterfalls, gold falls, poetry and design: the precious Qayten menu for the Jingle collection.
You can associate a pair of earrings to a sound? Is it realistic to think that a jewel has echoes of a poem by Lord Byron? Design can reproduce the natural beauty of a waterfall? The answer to all three questions is that, yes, you can as long as you knock on the Qayten’s door, young and vibrant small Italian jewelry boutique that makes of design its flag (we have already spoken here). As in the Jingle collection. The jewels of this collection are inspired by the Marmore waterfalls near Terni (Italy), which with their height difference of 165 meters had enchanted the english poet and patriot, and consist of small waterfalls and vivid gold and diamonds. Qayten, which benefits from the experience of a long-time designer (in this case we are not in front of some young debut), has chosen a particular way for the establishment of its collections and immediately gained a prominent place in the small stalls reserved for true innovators. Not by chance in last VicenzaOro, the Bologna Maison has been invited in the area dedicated to 12 samples of international design. Among his most popular collections is also Twist, which has put at the center of the pearls composition. Prices: the Jingle earrings, have a suggested price of about $ 8,400. Earrings of Twist collection have a suggested retail price of $ 9,500, the Twist long necklace (made up of eight wires of 1 meter each) $ 33,000, the Twist necklace with white and yellow baby Akoya and closing with sapphires $ 18,000. Do not think, of course, to find them in some jewelry store randomly chosen. The pieces of Qayten are located in selected retailers and, in any event, probably not with the complete collections. The company then either send an email to info@qayten.net to locate your nearest dealer.

In VicenzaOro the design wins

The Design Room in VicenzaOro January 12 outstanding authors of tomorrow’s jewelry.
One of the best innovations of VicenzaOro January edition was the introduction of the Design Room. While some traditional jewelry are missed and don’t are come back at the fair (for example, historical brands like Chimento or Verdi Gioielli), there are new characters that are climbing, successfully, in the world of jewelry. Often, however, they do not have a consolidated organizational structure behind on which to rely. VicenzaOro thought so in an area with all their spaces organized in a simple and recognizable, at an affordable price. The initiative is excellent. For visitors, who were able to bring designers who would otherwise have followed from afar, and designers that have landed in the crucible of Vicenza, since the homogeneity of Design Room (as it was called the space inside the Icon pavilion), it made it more interesting the comparison. Were 12 international designers, young but already established (one of them, Nikos Koulis, also won one of the awards Palladio), who were invited: Netali Nissim, Federica Rector and Qayten (Italy), Rodney Rayner, Sarah and I Zara Simon (UK), Nikos Koulis (Greece), Magerit (Spain), Daniela Villegas and Sutra (USA), Fernando Jorge (Brazil), Elie Top (France). Experiment, hopefully, to be repeated. Giulia Netrese

Qayten, miracle in Bologna

Published on June 20, 2016

Showroom

Qayten was born in Bologna, far from the traditional Italian goldsmith centers, in 2014. The result is almost miraculous: it arrived at the top of the jewellery industry in a short time and there are good prospects for a this miracle to continue. By the way, the Qayten name is a word in Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, which means “origin.” And perhaps it alludes to the road leading to the origin of the creative process. The result is an explosive mixture of luxury and design, new forms and unusual materials, such as the rare Indonesian wood matched with gold and diamonds. It is high contemporary jewelery. As the Bologna necklace, made of white gold covered in diamonds, which has the shape of a wave. Qayten wants to explore the farthest reaches of the jewelry, but of course with the intention of producing wearable jewelry and possibly incorporating a wow effect. We must admit that often it achieves this goal. As in the Paisley collection, with jewels that have an oriental fragrance that goes with a typical Italian construction technique. Or in the Bloom collection, where the jewels are transformed into light and bright flowers. Alessia Mongrando
