New Pandora Signature Bracelets

Published on September 6, 2022

New designs in the Pandora Signature collection. It is one of the most successful collections of the Danish brand, launched for the first time in 2018. Since then the Pandora Signature collection has seen several changes, which have largely changed its design, renewing it. In short, the signature has remained the same, but the contents have changed a bit, without upsetting the design. Indeed, the new jewels represent, in the Pandora idea, a logical evolution of the first Signature bracelet, which has become a symbol of the collection.

The bracelets, as in the first edition of the collection, are still distinguished by the Pandora logo, clearly engraved on the metal. The Signature wrist jewelry is now a closed bracelet, with a finer silhouette characterized by a pavé of cubic zirconia. The bracelet design was also used for a ring. The jewels are available in different finishes, such as rose gold plating and silver.

The irresistible career in the jewelry store of Arman Sarkisyan ♦

If you have a few thousand dollars (or euro, does the same) and you want break free of desire to wear an exclusive jewel, you can consider the production of Arman Sarkisyan. It is one of the most popular designers of the moment, and perhaps not by chance: his creativity is the result of the Armenian blood flowing in his veins. Apparently, he tells that even his father, a jeweler with 53 years of profession, he looked at him with surprise when Arman has taken the first steps in the jewelry. His father taught him the secrets of the trade, and Arman did the rest. With some aspect to emphasize: for example, Arman uses gold to 22 carats, particularly softer than normally used in jewelry.

Wild nature in refined jewels in Sylvie Corbelin’s collections. Here are the jewels of the designer ♦

Of the alpine landscapes near Bourg-en-Bresse, where she was born, Sylvie Corbelin recalls the exuberant nature. And the nostalgia of her childhood still accompanies her, now that she is an established designer with an atelier in the center of Paris, and her jewels are sold all over the world. After starting her studies in law, to become a lawyer, at the age of 20, Sylvie Corbelin realized that she was more attracted to the profession of antiquarian, the profession of her mother. She specializes in the sale of antique jewelry and, while we’re at it, she has a degree in gemology. Her frequentation of antique jewels also led her to love objects that are a little strange, unusual and precious.

Even those that are characteristic of other cultures, such as Persian, Hindu or Chinese. From antiques collector to designer: in 2000 Sylvie Corbelin decided to take the plunge and bought a set of precious stones and materials from a supplier on Place Vendôme. This is how she began her adventure in the world of jewelry. After a few years the designer was finally “discovered”. Her nonconformist style of her, exuberant, out of the ordinary, now assures her a prominent place. She offers voluminous jewels, small sculptures, which often take their cue from elements of nature, where the elements of spring are mostly flies and beetles. Like those of the alpine meadows, in fact.

While in the US there are episodes of violence in schools and offices, the jewels with the K / ller brand, shock New York ♦

The name K / ller immediately recalls a thriller or a television series based on serial murderers and detectives. However the name is a fusion of the two designers: Katie DeGuzman and Michael Miller, former students of the Parsons School of Design in New York City. The K / ller Collection has, in any case, an aggressive style, rebellious, deliberately crude. Katie began her career in the world of jewelry when it bought a bracelet to hide a tattoo from maternal criticisms. So she met the partner with whom she started to work.

It is a transgressive couple: you can tell this even from the materials used. Ok, there is gold, but they also use oxidized metals, crude, and fish maw, arrowheads, horns, skin, stalactites, petals, porcupine quills and feathers. They say to merge a process of deconstruction with sculpture, decay and renewal, androgyny and femininity. Most of the pieces are handmade by Katie and Michael at the CFDA (a fashion incubator), a studio in downtown Manhattan. And so, this work like. Their brand is recognized globally and is sold by Helmut Lang, international flagship store. The jewelry is currently distributed in more than 50 outlets around the world. Recently K / iller launched a campaign to support the Black lives matter movement.

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.

Bracciale a quattro cerchi in ottone bagnato oro con cristalli

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.

Anello con crisoberillo, occhio di gatto e diamanti

A yellow for the summer, but also for the other months. If you like the color of the sun, here is a series of jewels that warm any heart ♦

There was a time in which the yellow color of the stones was considered ambiguous. Maybe it’s because yellow is synonymous with mystery. A long period was dominated by white diamonds, transparent, without color. Glittering, but only sensitive to light reflections. Then came the big fancy-mania, that is a passion for those diamonds that until a few years ago were considered defective, almost unpresentable.

Anello con diamante fancy intense yellow di 12,56 carati

Now the yellow diamonds (but also brown or blue) have record prices. And in the wake of the success of the other lemon-colored diamond, the stones yellow like the sun are revalued. The yellow stones are matched with white gold, but even with that of the gold nugget. So the jewelers in recent years have proposed a series of pieces that enhance the yellow stones, such as citrine. For the uninitiated, the citrine is a variety of quartz, whose yellow color is due, say gemologists, to trivalent iron impurities. The natural citrine quartz is relatively rare, but it is a lot on the market because in reality it is quartz amethyst or smoky quartz. These crystals are heat treated to achieve the colors yellow-orange. Well, the stones are a bit ‘cooked, but they like them. Here is a review of rings that have the yellow colour as the common denominator.

Orecchini in oro 18k rosa mano incisi con diamante marrone, quarzo lemon, crisoberillo africana e mandarino granato

Not only. Lovers of yellow stones can also choose from other alternatives. For example, yellow topaz is a rarer variety than the blue-toned gemstone, but it often has a subtle shade that coordinates well with a pastel-colored dress. Another choice can be the beryl stone, also available in a yellow shade. Finally, we must not forget the stone that goes by the name of cat’s eye, which less poetically is silicon dioxide combined with hornblende. This gem also has a deeper shade of yellow and feline undertones.

The secrets of the princess cut

Diamonds with princess cut, also chosen by Emily Ratajkowski, seems to have a lot of fans. That’s why ♦

Do you want feel as princesses? It’s easy, just choose a ring with a princess cut diamond, enjoyed even by Emily-Ratajkowski. The engagement rings princess cut diamonds, that is squared (square or rectangular), they have a recent history. This type of cut was introduced only in 1960, but encoded in 1981 by Betzalel Ambar and Israel Itskowitz. In return, it quickly became popular. The reason is simple: it seems so much. A princess cut diamond should have an average of 58 to 76 facets but, what is more important, it seems larger than the classic round brilliant cut (ie round). Even in the upside-down pyramid shape with rounded sides it has a very good performance in terms of light reflection. The right considered ratio between the sides to a square shape is between 1 and 1.05, while for the rectangular shape is 1 to 1.10 to 1.20.

Another advantage is that usually the stones cut in this way also have a lower cost in proportion, because it wastes less material from the rough stone. In particular, the princess shape keeps about 80% of the rough diamond, while the round brilliant retains only about 50%. If then around the diamond princess cut are joined other small stones, the effect is assured. No coincidence that many Maison offer from engagement rings with diamonds cut in this way.

Buying Tips
Experts advise to choose at least one diamond with VS2 clarity, H color and, of course, a stone cut well. How? Try to draw an imaginary line that crosses the stone for the length, and observed whether the facets on the right and left halves have the same shape and size. Now, do the same operation in the horizontal direction and see if the opposite faces are the same size. Observe also the bottom and check that there are no cracks in the stone. And, last but not least, wear the ring.

Espinosa learned the art of jewelry in Italy, Germany and the Netherlands in the early 1990s. But he fused the modernity of European design with Mexican tradition. In 1997 he launched his first collection. In the Latin country he became a star and also opened a shop in Panama.

But it is interesting to observe his style: the goal of his work is to exalt manual work by Mexican artisans who work with silver in Taxco, his hometown. But it’s not about ethnic jewelry, the craftsmanship gives way to a modern style. Each piece is composed with a bronze or silver base and then treated with baths or covered with gold leaf. In some cases brass is also added to the silver alloy.

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 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).

Eventually stem from pieces look nice, pretty precious to tempt, but not overly opulent as to arouse curiosity only.

Pinky rings for women, what you need to know

Published on August 9, 2022

Rings/Campus

What should a pinky ring for women look like? And, above all, why are there rings that must be worn on the little finger? Let’s talk about the signet or chevalier rings. They are all the rage and many women are wondering whether to wear such a ring on their little finger. In fact, there are good reasons to wear a ring on your little finger. But not all rings are recommended to be worn on the smallest finger of the hand. So let’s see what women’s rings for little fingers look like.

The pinky rings
Let’s first open a quick parenthesis: the signet ring, or chevalier, as the definition already indicates, has a history that originates in the nobility. In ancient times, only a few men and women could write, and even kings and emperors were illiterate. Also, it was necessary to seal the correspondence with lacquer wax, to prevent it from being read by others. The seal of the family was then affixed to the lacquer wax, which was engraved on the noble’s ring. Over time, then, this type of rings served only as an ornament, to flaunt belonging to a noble family. Nowadays it has spread, however, as a simple jewel, which can be worn by anyone. But, if you are not a countess, marquis or princess, it would be wiser to avoid choosing rings with fake badges.

Anello chevalère in oro bianco, diamanti, cristallo di rocca e smeraldo Muzo — Anello chevalière in oro bianco, diamanti, cristallo di rocca e smeraldo Muzo, alta gioielleria Boucheron

Signet rings were in the past almost exclusively worn by men, in fact they are also called chevalier (knight). Over time, however, women also began to wear rings of this type. So, don’t worry: women can safely wear signet rings too.

On which hand to wear the ring? The signet ring or chevalier ring is usually worn on the little finger of the secondary hand. If you mainly use the right hand, then, it will be more comfortable to wear the ring on the left hand and, conversely, if you are left-handed you will wear the chevalier ring on the right hand. This principle also applies to men.

Why is the ring worn on the little finger?
As we have said, the signet ring originally had a practical function: it replaced the signature of a noble. But to house the family crest or personal symbol, it was necessary to use rings with a rather large surface. Wearing a large ring of this type on the little finger was easier, because it did not hinder the movements of the hand, perhaps to hold the sword.

Today, the habit of wearing chevalier rings on the little finger has simply remained, even if the size has decreased. In fact, there are also those who wear this type of ring on other fingers of the hand. It’s wrong? There is no law that prohibits wearing a signet ring on a finger other than the little finger. Prince Charles of England, for example, wears the chevalier ring strictly on his little finger. Meghan Markle, on the other hand, exhibited it on her ring finger. It also depends on the proportions of the ring, of course: a jewel with a large surface could be uncomfortable and out of proportion on a little finger.

Which ring to choose?
The signet or chevalier ring to be worn on the little finger, as we have seen, has lost its original meaning, although many people with noble titles continue to use them. The jewelers have thus indulged in many different variations. There is, however, a rule: choose a ring that is proportionate to the size of your hands. A signet ring doesn’t have to overhang your little finger, but add a touch of elegance. Also, if you wear a chevalier ring that is too large you will find yourself clumsy when you have to grab an object and the jewel could be annoying.

Giulia Colussi, magical jewels

The magical world of Giulia Colussi, designer from Milan (Italy), between myths and the East ♦ ︎

The world is divided between those who see things that others do not see and those who see things they others believe to see. Complicated? Not much. If you are a superstitious person, you could love a four-leaf shape clover jewel with the idea that, perhaps, the amulet can bring you luck. If you are not a superstitious person, however, you can wear the four-leaf clover jewel simply because you like or remind you of nature.

The same reasoning applies to Giulia Colussi, designer from Milan who belongs to the first category. That is, those who are inspired by concepts in which one must have faith such as chakra, crystal therapy and clairvoyants to describe a stone, turquoise, which for others simply has a splendid blue color. Gold, pearls and, in some cases, even small Chinese or Japanese elements are used for the designer’s jewels, all proposed with a mystical or mythological “second reading”. To you the choice.

The jewels inspired by the stars and to Positano by de ‘Nobili, Neapolitan jewelers ♦

Stardust in Naples. But it is not necessary to go to the top of Vesuvius to see the firmament shine: the stars are those of the collection signed by de Nobili, one of the most consolidated Maison in the city. The story begins in 1943, in the middle of the war, when Claudio and Aurelio de’Nobili founded a jewelry store in via Filangieri. The first customers were the soldiers of the American troops as soon as they entered the city. The baton was then passed on to the children of Claudio, Maurizio, Mirella, Simona and Fabrizio. And in 1983 Maurizio founded the goldsmith’s laboratory which is still active, focusing on the renewal of the proposals.

The idea was successful and de ’Nobili opened other boutiques. On the other hand, the Neapolitan goldsmith tradition is alive and well, as evidenced, for example, by the Polvere di Stelle collection. The jewels are in silver and gold. But what matters most is the elaborate processing of the metal, which recalls the intricate baroque decorations found in some Neapolitan church. To clarify: the jewels have nothing liturgical, except perhaps the holy patience that it takes to make the pieces of this collection. In the collection inspired by Positano, a pleasant town on the Tyrrhenian Sea, the jewelry offers instead the combination with hydrothermal, that is synthetic, or semi-precious stones.

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.

Emanuela Duca and her jewels with roots in Rome and work in New York, between the call of the earth and fantasy.

From Rome to New York: a journey that millions of tourists and a few designers travel. Among these, there is Emanuela Duca, who from the capital of Italy has moved permanently to the capital of the American East Coast, New York, indeed, Manhattan and, now in the Hudson Valley. Even if she now lives and works in the Big Apple, she keeps her roots in the artistic culture of the Peninsula and often returns to Rome, where she followed her training path. She graduated from the Art School of Rome, and then from the European Institute of Design. Not only that: in addition to jewelry, Emanuela was involved in dance, painting and sculpture. Almost a Renaissance artist, when the divisions between the different artistic skills were subtle.

Colibrì earrings — Orecchini in oro 18 carati della collezione Colibrì

The jewels of her new Colibrì collection retain his style and the echo of her origin: works that evoke volcanic ash and the ancient ruins of his Rome. But transformed by the efficient New York air. In short, almost a bridge between antiquity and modernity. The jewels are first carved in wax, then forged with sterling silver and 18-carat yellow gold, shaped and manipulated until they find the right shape. Her technique is so personal that her jewels have also been exhibited and sold at the Smithsonian, the Philadelphia Museum of Arts Crafts or the Museum of Art and Design in New York.
