The Firmament of Crieri

Published on November 10, 2022

Bracciale in oro brunite e diamanti bianchi e neri

The firmament, that is the celestial vault – A romantic term to describe what for adtronomists is simply the stellar space. It is also the name used by Crieri for a collection that is inspired by the stars, but with the aim of creating jewels capable of symbolizing a piece of the night sky. The Firmamento collection consists of necklaces, bracelets and rings in the tennis style, which is the specialty of the Piedmontese Maison. The tennis motif, however, is reinterpreted with 18-karat white, pink or burnished gold. The stars that shine are white (on white gold), brown (on pink gold) or black (for burnished gold jewelry) diamonds.

The diamonds are set on the tennis surface by alternating higher carat, brilliant cut gems with other smaller diamonds. The bracelets are available in variants from one to seven strands, in a white gold version with white diamonds, in a pink gold version with brown and white diamonds and in a burnished gold version with contrasting black and white diamonds. The collection includes rings with three, five or seven threads, also in this case with the combination of the color of gold and diamonds. And to admire this firmament, no telescope is needed.

Meini Gioielli, the Florentine goldsmith’s tradition always has its charm ♦ ︎

The story is that of many other artisan realities of jewelery: the young apprentice who learns the secrets of craftsmanship, get to own business, opens his shop and also finds his stylistic way. So is born Meini Gioielli, a Florentine artisan shop. The story begins in 1963, when at the age of 14, Cesare Meini “entered as an apprentice in the artisan workshop Ricci, one of the most famous masters in Florence in the 1960s.”

Anello in filigrana in oro, diamanti, acquamarina

The shop is located right in the heart of Florence, near the Ponte Vecchio. Here, Cesare Meini learns the ornamental design, shaping, the art of the drilling and, above all, the engraving. In the sign of the Florentine goldsmith tradition, it accumulates experience until 1971, when he get to be on ufficial register of craftsman and opens a goldsmith workshop in the historic center of Florence. In 1977 the activity was transferred to Rignano sull’Arno, a village near Florence, where the Tuscan goldsmith he still realize their creations, together with their children Leonardo and Lorenzo. Meini’s jewelry remains anchored in Tuscan style and tradition: white and yellow gold, worked, perforated, with floral forms and sometimes precious stones of a certain volume.

Spinelli Kilcollin flies to Vega

Anello Vega in argento, oro giallo, pavé di diamanti

Astronomy enthusiasts know that Vega is the brightest star in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is located only (so to speak) 25 light years from the Sun, and is one of the brightest stars in the firmament. This is why Vega is often mentioned in science fiction books. And, now, it is also part of the world of jewelry. Spinelli Kilcollin, the brand founded a dozen years ago by Dwyer Kilcollin and Yves Spinelli, dedicates a special jewel to Vega. Their story is anomalous: they entered the jewelry sector without any design experience, with experience in fashion and art behind them, but with a new idea and style. In the center is the multi-band ring, connected with washers.

Anello Delphinus Rouge in oro rosa 18 carati e pavé di zaffiri rosa

An example is the Vega ring. The first band is set with brilliant white diamonds, set in a U shape to expose every corner to light. Centered between two bands of shiny metal is the core of Vega: a 3.8mm band of micro pavé diamonds, set in contrasting prongs to create a play of light and shadow. A network of three golden connectors joins the components of the ring.

The Bianca collection is also a little pink. It could not be otherwise, given that the jewelry line is signed by Rosato, a brand of the Bros Manifatture group. The jewelry collection, in fact, combines pieces in rhodium-plated silver in the natural color with as many models in silver treated with pink electroplating. All the jewels of the Bianca collection are also accompanied by white cubic zirconia crystals.

The common thread of the Rosato jewelry line remains simplicity. The design of earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets is very linear, reminiscent of a Nordic style, elegant but not austere. The volumes have a well-defined geometry, with long curved metal cylinders, covered with cubic zirconia pavé. They are jewels that are suitable for elegant occasions, but can also be worn in a business context, if the dress and the environmental conditions are in harmony.

From Russia to Los Angeles with the same think: jewels. The story of Marina Feldman, however, also goes through a parallel activity: the restoration of ancient jewels. He worked 25 years in the United States, Russia and Europe to restore pearls jewelry to Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and for many antique jewelery stores around the world.

Its jewelery resembles a lot, in some cases, to those of the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. For example, the sautoir of pearls with tassels or fringes that resemble those of Cartier or Chaumet, the choker with a medallion in the center, but also art deco bracelets and rings. To these themes is added the Russian soul, which has not been lost but infused in the most western style. In short, Marina J does not underlines to the use of exceptional stones, but to the kind of quality jewelery, with a reassuring, classic design. Even prices are quite reasonable: from about $ 600-800 for earrings, up to $ 2,000 for the most precious necklaces.

Art Deco is about to turn one hundred years old. The name, in fact, is the abbreviation for Arts Décoratifs, and it is a style that appeared for the first time in France shortly before the First World War, but which officially took its name from the International Exhibition of Decorative and Industrial Arts held in Paris in 1925. Despite this, the art deco style is in excellent health, as demonstrated by the jewelry line launched a few years ago by Roberto Coin, which continues to be renewed.

The novelties of Artlinea for the autumn-winter season: jewels that can be personalized with names and letters of the alphabet ♦

Near Arezzo, one of the Italian jewelry districts, Artlinea was born in 1983. The founder, Doriano Martinelli, then left the leadership to his son Alberto, who now leads the goldsmith company. It is one of those realities capable of moving from the design of the jewels to their creation, while many other brands design the collections, and then outsource the production. To do this Artlinea has invested in technology, machines and training. Part of the production is destined for other companies who commission Artlinea to create their collections.

But the most innovative aspect is what economists call just in time, a system invented for cars and now also intended for jewelry. Basically, the single ring, necklace or bracelet is made materially only after the customer has ordered it online. This allows purchasers to obtain perfectly customized earrings, bracelets or necklaces of the desired size and gem. For example, Artlinea offers a collection with names or letters of the alphabet that is completely customizable: an 18-karat gold slave bracelet can be personalized with a name or letters and with the addition of diamonds in color G purity VS: in this case it costs € 1,120. But the same model can also be obtained in silver and cubic zirconia for a price of 120 euros.

Brosway Affinity

Published on October 29, 2022

Affinity, i.e. Attraction, mutual sympathy. An affinity is also, according to the current definition, the commonality of feelings between two or more people for ideas and tastes. The expression Affinity, which is now used by Brosway for a collection of bijoux, also refers to the title of a work by J. W. Goethe, Elective affinities. In the book the feelings are compared to those that occur in chemistry between two associated elements, which split and associate forming, by law of mutual attraction, new couples. The Affinity collection probably does not aim to induce reflection on the issue of compatibility between two people.

More simply, the line of bijoux of the Bros Manifatture group brand aims to offer necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets that can make the appearance pleasant and, therefore, encourage the development of affinity. The different pieces of the collection are made of 316L steel, gold-colored finish and Swarovski crystals or pearls.

5 questions before buying a vintage jewel

Published on October 27, 2022

Buying a ring, but also a necklace or a pair of earrings created many years ago, can be a bargain, and at the same time a pleasant research. There are many auctions that sell jewelry, often at an affordable price. But how to choose a vintage ring? Here are the six rules to follow ♦

Gioielli d'epoca a GenGèneve — Gioielli d’epoca a GenGèneve

There are a lot of people who love vintage jewelry, perhaps to give as an engagement ring. They have more charm, a story behind them and, sometimes, even a good price. But there is a problem: you have to know how to choose them. And it’s not easy. Here are five useful questions for those who want to hunt for vintage jewelry. If you can answer these questions, you will have important information for your choice.

Collier con ametiste e turchesi messo all'asta — Collier con ametiste e turchesi messo all’asta

1 How old is the ring? If you are not a super expert, it is difficult to determine the age of a ring, also because the most successful jewels have been reproduced with not always perfect imitations. In any case, it is important to ask the dealer (if it is reliable, that is, a renowned auction house or a jeweler who cannot afford to deceive anyone) the approximate age of the ring being considered. If you get an answer, look carefully at the ring: the style must be consistent with the year of manufacture. For example, if they tell you it is from the late nineteenth century, it cannot be Art Deco, a much more recent style. But how do you find out? Simple: before buying a ring from a specific era, compare jewels of the same age on the internet and compare them. On the online catalogs of the auction houses, for example, there are numerous examples of vintage jewelery that are certified.

2 Do you have any stones that have been replaced? There are rings that are more than 100 years old. It is not an infrequent case if in the meantime a stone has ruined, come loose or has been replaced. Then take a close look at the ring stone with a lens: if it is original, it is unlikely that it will not show scratches or small signs of wear. Even though diamonds are more resistant and more difficult to ruin, it is difficult for a vintage gem to not show any signs of wear.

3 What cut should the diamond of a vintage ring have? Ancient diamonds have a different cut than the current one. So, be careful: if the vendor offers you a ring from 1910 with a brilliant cut (round) diamond, it is likely that the stone was replaced, since that shape for diamonds did not spread until after 1919. Often the Vintage diamonds are less perfect in terms of color and transparency.

4 Is the ring insured? Sometimes jewelers (especially abroad) ensure the most precious pieces. Of course, it must be worth it. An insurance contract, if it exists, is a reliable yardstick for the jewel, which has previously been subjected to an expert appraisal, who has assessed it and has priced it.

5 Do you want to sell it in the future? Of course, it’s not nice to say, but it is good to think about it first: a ring in the future could be an object to be sold. In this case it is good to know if the jeweler offers guarantees on the quality of the ring you want to buy. A ring is not an indestructible object and it is good to make sure that it has no defects that could deform or depreciate it.

6 What style does jewelry have? It is important to establish not only the age of a jewel, but also if its shape is still current. Art Deco jewels, for example, have seen increasing popularity in recent years. The Victorian era jewels, on the other hand, were sought after only by fans of the genre. Different is the case of a vintage jewel that does not have a precise style, for example a simple diamond ring. In that case, the quality of the stone counts more than the style. Giulia Netrese

New Tecum jewels with Pianegonda

Pianegonda adds new pieces to the Tecum collection and presents a line for men.

Nec sine te nec tecum vive possum. Translation: I can’t live with you, nor without you. It is one of the most famous and beautiful phrases in Latin, attributed to Ovid, and usually referred to the torment of secret lovers. In this sentence the word tecum (con te) is defined by the grammar as a personal and reflexive pronoun together with the complement of company. This little digression on the Latin language serves to introduce Pianegonda‘s Tecum collection. The brand, since it was acquired by Bros Manifatture in 2015, has regularly presented collections with a name in the ancient Latin language.

Tecum is a rather large collection, over 40 pieces, which in many models uses the shape of large chains. Silver is the basic material used by Pianegonda, in a glossy or opaque version, the metal is also presented in black rhodium, or with yellow gold plating, in some cases used on the same jewel: a news in the world of the Venetian brand. Among the novelties of the collection there are also the necklace in 925 silver and bronze with blue, bronze and rose gold pvd finish, and the earrings with natural pearls.

Wisteria blooms early: Crieri doesn’t wait for spring to launch a new series of jewels. The Glicine (wisteria) collection. The plant, wisteria, was named after the botanist Thomas Nuttall in memory of the American physician and anatomist Caspar Wistar, it inspired rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces, made around the drop motif. Indeed, the petals of the wisteria flower resemble drops gathered in clusters. Instead of the violet color, the Wisteria collection features the classic colors of 18K gold and diamonds.

Alongside the shape reminiscent of the clusters of the wisteria flower, with the drops arranged in clusters interrupted by a diamond, the collection also presents an interpretation of the classic moi et toi, where a briolette-cut diamond contrasts with a drop in gold . Even the earrings follow the same stylistic key, with drops in gold together with diamonds with the same shape, both in the button model and in the pendant ones. The bracelets are also made up of gold drops alternating with small diamonds, as is the necklace, consisting of a thin chain and a central pendant made with pavé diamonds, or with small gold drops lined up and interspersed with a diamond. With a teardrop cut, of course.

Bracciale reversibile in oro bianco, diamanti, madreperla

High jewelry is (almost) always beautiful. But it is rarer to find high jewelry that is beautiful and also intelligent. The new Reversible Xpandable collection by Picchiotti corresponds to this identikit. The collection, consisting of nine bracelets and two rings, combines aesthetics with luxury, but also with ingenuity. These are jewels with a double face: bracelets and rings can be worn by choosing one of the two surfaces, external or internal (but the distinction in this case makes little sense). The double-sided opportunity is offered by the mechanism that the Italian high jewelery brand based in Valenza has long patented. Xpandable is a system that makes rings and bracelets flexible, without showing any springs or elastic. The result is jewelry that is particularly pleasant to wear.

Bracciale Reversible Xpandable in oro rosa, corallo, diamanti, ceramica — Bracciale Reversible Xpandable in oro, corallo, diamanti, ceramica

The jewels are made of 18 karat gold, pink, yellow or white, with diamonds and colored stones such as onyx, turquoise, sapphire, but also coral, mother of pearl and ceramic. Xpandable reversible necklaces and earrings will also be available soon.

In over five decades of brilliance, a common complaint of women I have met has been the sense of hesitation in wearing their fine jewelry every day, especially diamonds, or the sense of limitation in relation to color coordinating colored gemstones. I love the idea of a technology that can solve problems! In the same way that we solved the problems of ring sizing and bulky bracelet clasps with our Xpandable technology, we have now addressed the problem of design versatility. Our new bracelets feature completely different designs: luxurious diamonds on one side and solid gold on the other, or sapphires on one side for wearing with cool shades in the wardrobe and rubies on the other for wearing with blacks, neutrals and more toned fabrics. hot. We have just started! The entire design team is thrilled with excitement as the possibilities for design combinations are endless.
Giuseppe Picchiotti, founder of the Maison

The characteristic of the reversible jewels proposed by Picchiotti is also a greater adaptability to the needs of the wearer. Even if the bracelets are very precious objects, they can at the same time also be suitable for less formal situations or attire, while the opposite surface can be used for an evening or a ceremony. Also, bracelets and rings are meant to be stackable.

Now there are more bubbles: they are those of the new Bubbles collection by Giovanni Raspini.

It goes without saying that the subject of the jewels are the silver spheres, placed close to each other, in clusters, resulting in rather marked volumes.

But these are not just round balls. The silver used for the jewels is hammered, in order to create an irregular surface, capable of creating chiaroscuro light effects. The silver, in fact, is partly burnished and contrasts with the surface which retains its natural color.

One of its ideas, for example, was to use the cutting briolette, drop-shaped, not only for diamonds, but also for colored stones. And not just the classic ones, like emeralds and sapphires: Marie-Hélène has widened the choice to little known stones such as ioilite, a blue stone which some would also be used by the Vikings sailors to peer at the sky in the presence of clouds. With the iolite she makes a gold ring, with an intense color.

Metal and colored cubic zirconia come together in pieces that often seem puzzle composed of many small pieces, like the Mandala collection of which you see the pictures on this page. They have gold threads and fringes, intricate messages, tinkling sounds. They are also very showy and therefore are highly sought after by costume film or photo shoots. After all, some ideal relationship with the director they have it.
