Fope renews Vendôme

Published on June 28, 2022

Anello e orecchini della collezione Vendôme indossati

Fope renews the successful Vendôme collection. Here are the news ♦ ︎
Renew success without abandoning success. It seems the philosophy of Fope, Maison of Vicenza, which aims to establish a close relationship with its customers. And this is possible with the proposal of collections that last over time: the jewels are so always current, from the classics. But, natively, this does not mean leaving the offer and collections unchanged. As in the case of Vendôme, a collection which is among Fope’s best sellers and which has been renewed with the addition of rubies, sapphires, baguette or princess cut diamonds.

Vendôme is characterized by the oval gold knit, always soft thanks to the patented Flex’it technology, which allows a surprising elasticity to the texture in pink or white gold. A system that is used not only to make flexible bracelets and colliers, but also rings: a particularly appreciated aspect because it makes the jewels more pleasant to wear. With the new pieces of the collection a new game of colors and brightness has been introduced thanks to a thin ribbon in gold that embraces the surface of the rounded washer. Another novelty are the rings that, in addition to being Flex’it or band, offer a more abstract appeal to the dominant motif for an even more contemporary effect.

The multiculture of Nana Fink

Anello in opale andean intagliato, oro rosa e diamanti

The new jewelry collection by Nana Fink, from Switzerland to Los Angeles, via London and Beirut ♦ ︎
From old Europe a stone’s throw from Hollywood, Los Angeles. But the path of Nana Fink is different from the usual one of many other designers for another reason: as a girl, the designer has studied clinical psychology and management in Basel and Zurich. Then, she completed his PhD in the field of maternal health. In short, she started working for science as a researcher at Harvard Medical School. What does this have to do with jewelry? Only Nana Fink has the answer.

But perhaps it is precisely the mix of science, art and culture that has stimulated creativity. The result is, in any case, an international success, given that her jewels are sold in Los Angeles in the Paul Smith flagship store, as well as in Basel, Beirut or Sankt Moritz, in London as well as in Tinos, Greece.
Even the style testifies to a transversal spirit, able to cross different experiences, between modern lines and icons of the classical age. Like the jewelry proposed for the 2018 season, made exclusively by hand, in Switzerland.

One ring for two fingers

How to wear two fingers ring: they are fashionable, they are beautiful, they are showy. But the contraindication is … ♦ ︎
A ring for two fingers. It seems a bit like those commercial offers in supermarkets: buy one and get two. But is not so. The rings that you wear on two fingers (and in some cases three) are very fashionable and are not always cheap, even if there are models within reach of any pocket (or handbag). In fact there are many jewelry shops that have decided to add two fingers rings to their price list: on this page you will find an overview.

Anello con acquamarina indossato — Anello con acquamarina di 72 carati, indossato

But how are two-finger rings worn? It depends. If they are very simple they can easily be put on your fingers even during the day. Maybe they will raise a bit of curiosity in your colleagues at work, but they will not seem exaggerated. If, however, you opt for very elaborate rings, perhaps with colored stones, or if the jewel is particularly precious, it is better to wear it on important evenings. A party, a cocktail, a happy hour, a theater, a disco: they are all occasions to show off a multiple ring. On the contrary, it is not a good idea to show off rings that are too conspicuous in the office: they could arouse the envy of your colleagues, or suggest the idea that your salary is too high. This scruple does not apply, however, if you work in a very creative environment: advertising, fashion and, perhaps, jewelry.

The rings that cover two fingers, when they are very large and rich, are also very delicate: the possibility of pinning the ring in the fabric, or bumping it against a surface that can scratch or deform it is greater. Who chooses to wear a ring that covers two fingers, in short, must also double the attention.
How to clean a double ring? In the same way as the others: lukewarm water, a drop of liquid soap, a soft toothbrush.

Precious simplicity for Calvin Klein

Published on June 25, 2022

Rings/bracciale/

Calvin Richard Klein turns 80 in 2022 (best wishes), but his signature remains fresh. The American designer, who launched the company that became simply Calvin Klein in 1968, like other designers in addition to clothing has also given his name to a range of perfumes, watches, and jewelry. It is about fashion jewelry, a genre that counts on several fans, who focus more on the logo of the jewel than on the preciousness of the material, often in simple metal with PVD or gold plating.

For his jewels Calvin Klein prefers simplicity, as in the bracelets or rings of the Minimal Circular line, with rippled surfaces. On the other hand, the design of the Minimal Linear line is more accentuated, which uses a geometry that is a mix between a circular shape and a straight line. The Playful Repetition line, on the other hand, uses the contrast between worked and smooth surfaces. The jewels are in stainless steel in natural color, or pink or yellow, in some cases with the addition of cubic zirconia.

Other creations bloom in Pasquale Bruni‘s Secret Gardens. The collection, which debuted in June 2015, just seven years ago, was inspired by the gardens of the houses in Milan, invisible from the street, but which reveal themselves as small oases of green hidden in the city, behind in buildings that, often, are full of history. But this was only the starting point. The collection, consisting of leaf and flower-shaped jewels, has over time become one of the reference points of the Maison of Valenza, so much so that it has periodically been enlarged with new pieces.

A novelty of the Giardini Segreti collection is now the earcuff, which wraps the ear through a rose gold moon, a flower and a petal with white and champagne diamonds with classic sinuous lines. There is also a ring to wear on the little finger. Pasquale Bruni also introduces black diamonds set in pink gold to the collection, combining them with white ones, mounted on white gold, with a pleasant contrasting effect.

Golden dreams with Stroili

Rings//COLLANE

The best thing that can happen to someone who goes to bed, if we exclude love activities, is to have sweet or golden dreams. Expression that indicates a complete state of relaxation, plus a more enjoyable movie than those offered by Netflix or television programs. The expression Golden Dream also gave its name to one of the collections of Stroili, an Italian brand of jewelry at an affordable price, which for the summer of 2022 presents a large number of jewels. The name is not accidental, in addition to traditionally shaped rings and earrings, there are others that are inspired by dreamcatchers, the traditional Native American dream catchers.

Dreamcatchers are made up of circles to which feathers are tied: they were (or are) used as an amulet to protect children’s dreams. And some of the jewels in the Golden Dream Collection have a similar shape, with hinted feathers, and are made of gold-plated metal and colored cubic zirconia stones. Other jewels, on the other hand, follow a classic line, such as eternity rings, always with white or colored cubic zirconia.

The paradise of bijoux in Great Britain is Pebble London. Here is what it offers ♦ ︎

If you like big jewelry, colorful, ethnic, strange, whimsical, showy, exotic, surprising, and maybe even cheaper: in this case, your paradise is called Pebble London. In the heart of the British capital, the store founded by Peter Adler is the Mecca for those who love the jewels of this type. But the good news is that you can buy online as well, even from abroad, and very easily. The catalog is endless, as you can see a couple of screenshots taken from their website. Pebble London is a very well-known brand: providing jewelry to movie sets, but also to celebrity such as Kate Moss, Hilary Alexander, Maggie Smith and Iris Apfel.

As a young man Peter Adler was a member of a rock band that has had some success: so during the tour in America started the first collection of tribal handicrafts in Indian reservations. Then, it was the time of love for India and the Eastern countries, which imported the first collections, including silver and semi-precious stones. Finally, the business has expanded to China, Africa, Thailand, and South America, with jewels made of different metals, stones, wood, glass, coral and amber, but also glass beads produced in Europe in the nineteenth century.

Villa Milano lights up summer with Lumen

Published on June 21, 2022

Villa Milano is a jewelery shop founded in 1876 by Benvenuto Villa, goldsmith, sculptor and alchemist, who exhibited his jewels and sculptures at the great World Expositions of the time. Now, now in its fifth generation, it continues to be one of the most refined Maison in the city. It is famous, in particular, for its large production of cufflinks. But it would be unfair to neglect jewelry production. For example, summer 2022 marks the arrival in the catalog of two new jewelry lines: Lumen and Botanic. We will talk about the latter in another article. Here we are dealing with Lumen instead.

Anelli in alluminio, oro e diamanti della linea Lumen

Even if, as mentioned, the roots of Villa Milano lie in a past of 150 years, the brand does not give up on offering jewels of contemporary design and conception. This is the key to reading the Lumen line, made up of rings and earrings in aluminum, white gold and precious stones. Aluminum is a material recently rediscovered by several jewelers, but not everyone knows that until the beginning of the twentieth century it was considered a precious metal. Today it is used for its ease of processing and for the possibility of being interpreted with bright colors, as in the case of the Lumen line: fern green, royal blue, fuchsia, or more muted like old rose up to red. The jewels are also enriched with diamonds, sapphires, rubies.

The vocation for colors and a strange mix between the free spirit of Hawaii and the soul of Russia in the jewels of Alexander Laut ♦ ︎

From Moscow (Russia) to Hawaii (USA) is a very long jump. It is not only a geographical distance, but also a cultural one. And it is the step taken by Alexander Laut, a designer born in the capital of Russia, at that time the Soviet Union, in 1967, but who in the early nineties chose to move to the archipelago in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. To study jewelry? No, before becoming a designer of precious world Laut worked as a journalist, photographer and gallery owner. Gems and jewels, however, had always found them interesting. And now jewels are her full-time vocation.

The turning point in the life of the Russian jeweler was the meeting with Ronald Winston, son and heir of the great Harry Winston, who encouraged him to become a designer and to found the brand that bears his name, in 2003. The Maison Alexander Laut is reserved to true jewelry lovers, scattered all over the world, from Brazil to Japan, from the United States to the Arab countries.
His Russian soul has remained a passion for brightly colored stones, such as tourmalines, sapphires, rubies, Alexandrites. His experience in the Pacific has instead added to his knowledge of pearls. But the jewels in which it is best expressed are the cocktail rings, colorful, large and imaginative, along with the large dangling earrings.

Things to know about wedding ring

Published on June 17, 2022

Campus/Rings

Why is the wedding ring worn right on the ring finger (in many Western countries)? It’s a long, but interesting story. Here’s what you need to know about the wedding ring ♦

1 A magical story. In ancient times, the ring finger was considered magical in many cultures. This is shown still by many names given to this part of the hand, in several languages. In Chinese, the ring finger is 无名指, ie a finger without a name. Even in Sanskrit, the ancient language widespread in India, the name for the ring finger is anamika (unnamed). In the past it was also a widespread belief that from ring finger was departed a vein that went straight to the heart. No coincidence that vein was called amoris vena, that is, in Latin, “vein of love”. Consequently, the wedding ring was worn right on the fourth finger of the left hand.

2 From the Romans to the Middle Ages. The ring on the ring finger of the left hand was already in vogue at the time of the ancient Romans. The wedding ring, annulus pronubis, it was the beginning of iron and then gold. It was donated by the groom during the engagement ceremony. Only in the Middle Ages, after the year one thousand, was introduced the custom to bless the wedding ring on bride’s finger and insert this in a religious ceremony. In medieval Europe, in the Christian marriage has become a tradition to give the ring. At first it was inserted in sequence on the index finger, middle and ring fingers of the left hand. In the end, the ring was left on the ring finger. But theoretically, in England the choice of the finger is free: the 1549 Prayer Book states that “the ring should be placed on the left hand,” without specifying the finger.

3 Vive la difference. In any case, not in all countries the wedding ring is worn on the left hand. In some European countries, the ring is worn on the left hand before marriage, but then transferred to the right during the ceremony. A bride who follows the rite greek-orthodox (in Greece or Russia, for example), wearing the ring on the left hand before the ceremony, then moves it to the right after the cerimony.

Nei Paesi di rito cristiano ortodosso, ma anche alcuni di religione cattolica romana o protestanti, l'anello nuziale è indossato sul dito anulare della mano destra. — Nei Paesi di rito cristiano ortodosso, ma anche alcuni di religione cattolica romana o protestanti, l’anello nuziale è indossato sul dito anulare della mano destra

4 Turn right. In the countries of Orthodox Christian ritual, but also some of the Roman Catholics or Protestants, the wedding ring is worn on the ring finger of the right hand. You must behave in this way if you marry in Serbia, Bulgaria, Armenia, Russia, Greece, Georgia, Ukraine, Poland, Austria, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Venezuela.

5 Who goes to the left. The ring on the left hand instead remains in Italy, Ireland, Sweden, Croatia, Slovenia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, Canada, New Zealand, United States and United Kingdom. Even if somebody wear it on your right hand. Brazil is in the middle: the ring is worn on the right hand until the day of the wedding, when it is moved to the left hand.

6 Third Way. There are traditions which have a different choice from ring finger: in the ceremonies of the Jewish wedding, the ring is placed on the index finger, although other customs may require the use of the middle finger or thumb. Today many Jews usually move the jewel to the ring finger after the ceremony.

7 Unsure. The wedding ring is not part of the traditional Muslim religious marriage. But there who want to wear it or give it away it away as a testimony of love. In this case, in an Islamic country, the ring can be worn on the left hand (in Iran) or on the right ring finger. In Islamic countries it is still very popular to give the engagement ring. Even in India the rings are not a tradition in marriage, even though the practice is spreading, as a token of love. The men generally wear rings on their right hands and left hands on women.

In questo caso, in un paese islamico l’anello può essere indossato sia sulla mano sinistra (in Iran) o sul dito anulare destro

8 Right or Left? Depends: there are good reasons for choosing one or the other hand. On the right is more noticeable, since most people use this hand to move objects or greet. By contrast, the ring on the right will wear before and, if you have set a stone, there is a risk to bump and ruin the jewel.

Collana Night & Day, in oro, turchese, madreperla

There are refined watches that provide the Day & Night display, so as to immediately distinguish the phases of the day. Anna Maccieri Rossi spent many years dealing with luxury watches, the dark side of the Force (let’s joke) before moving on to jewelry. Perhaps it is the memories of the years behind that inspired the new Night & Day collection, which she presented at the Couture in Las Vegas. It is a line of jewels that keeps intact the style and technique adopted by the designer, who not surprisingly uses details that are part of the watchmaking tradition, starting with the dials.

The Night & Day collection features two different colors, with a preference for blue and light blue to indicate the night, while for the day side the shades become more lively. Reversible jewels that can be worn on one side or the other, in tune with the hours of the day or more simply with your mood. Alongside gold, the designer uses materials such as mother of pearl, turquoise, pink jade, lapis lazuli, aventurine, malachite, tiger’s eye for rings, necklaces, pendants.

Jewels in the shape of crabs and fish by Daniela Villegas: the charm of the sea and exotic minerals ♦ ︎
«I started Early – Took my Dog / And visited the Sea / The Mermaids in the Basement / Came out to look at me». Thus began a poem by Emily Dickinson dedicated to the sea. The waves, the oceans, the shores, the mysterious life under water have always been a starting point for the imagination and a source of inspiration for artists and creative people in general. Daniela Villegas, a Mexican designer based in Los Angeles, is part of this sea-loving patrol. A good part of its jewels, which have always taken the shape of small or large animals, is dedicated to the creatures that live in the sea.

Collana Tangaroa, in oro giallo, diamanti, opale e zaffiri

Fish, but above all crabs, are made of gold, yellow or pink, stones like tourmaline, garnets, sapphires, but also the unusual ocean jasper. It is a multicolored stone found in Madagascar. It often has the shape of a smooth, almost spherical, multicolored pebble. The ocean jasper has been described as an orbicular jasper, but according to others it is mineral chalcedony. Some minerals are also composed of agate and small crystals of light quartz. A perfect stone for jewels that smell of the sea.

But there are many types of sarees: one of them is called lehariya and inspired the British designer Alice Cicolini, who graduated from Central St. Martins and was also the Director of Arts and Culture for the British Council in India. In fact, colors and shapes of India have always been a source of inspiration for the designer, who, despite her Italian name, is English.

The colors used for the collection reflect those worn by Indian women: bright red, for example, in the tradition of a Hindu wedding sari symbolizes love and couple connection. But the glaze also serves to add geometric patterns like the traditional paisley. Small bird silhouettes make up the shape of stud earrings.

Collana in oro con elementi accartocciati a mano su acquamarina e perla naturale

Misani, a jewelry brand born in 1965 in Milan, uses a bit of everything: gold, pearls, leather, precious stones, amber, jade. The craftsmanship is testified, for example, by the use of hand-crumpled gold on the stones of the Vincoli collection and the historic boules. The jewels present the possible metalworkings: shiny, opaque, hammered gold, which is a classic of the Maison. The style is eclectic, that is, it takes up many ideas already tested over the years and puts them together in absolute freedom.

The history of the brand is linked to that of the founder, Ivo Misani (1938-1993), who in 1965 opened a goldsmith’s shop in via Vincenzo Monti, in Milan, and began his career as a designer. In 1971, together with his sister Angela and other partners, Misani opened a store at the Hotel Cala di Volpe on the Costa Smeralda. Success convinced him, in 1974, to found Misani Gioielli. Among the most prominent pieces are the hammered plate earrings. But also the use of leather. Today the Maison, which in the meantime has changed ownership, is faithful to its well-established style, which combines vintage with an informal approach to jewelry.

The come back of the chevalier

Published on June 11, 2022

The pinky ring is back. Find out the meaning and what are the characteristics of the ring that is worn on the little finger ♦

Chevalier in French, signet or pinky ring in English: it was the ring used in ancient times to press lacquer wax and initial letters. In short, a kind of stamp or certified signature of the aristocracy. The ring had engraved the family crest, an expression of wealth, lands, castles and power. On the other hand, there was no Pec at the time. Whoever received a letter sealed with lacquer wax, checked the imprint of the ring on the seal, to be sure of authenticity. Today, however, the chevalier ring is also worn by those who are not noble. Indeed, the wearer probably often does not know the history of this type of ring. In any case it is fashionable: the pinky ring is chosen indifferently by rappers or fashion addicted girls. In addition to those from a noble family.

Things to know about the pinky ring

In the past, the ring had a raised surface to better embellish the lacquer wax.
Subsequently, the chevalier ring simply adopted a flat surface, engraved with the coat of arms of the family.
In the Middle Ages the chevalier ring was made of simple burnished silver, especially in the countries of the North: it had a practical function, rather than an ornament.
Over time, the ring has become a sign of distinction. Made of gold, it often has a hard stone set, from lapis lazuli to the most expensive sapphire. Those who were very powerful and so rich chose a precious stone.
Lost its function of sealing the missives, the ring remained in use as a sign of noble belonging. It is usually worn on the little finger and carries the coat of arms of the family, even if not more in relief, but with a simple incision. It is a symbol of prestige, and is then adopted by those who are not noble, obviously without the heraldic crown.
Now it is back in fashion, and luckily also with irony: instead of the design of a coat of arms you can find a heart with the inscription «Love» engraved. Who does not want to renounce the crown can choose its big and white comics version or in black zircons, the Bourbon lily will like the nostalgic, the image of the miraculous Madonna to the devotees, the princess to the dreamers. In short, whether it is silver, gold or metal, which is small and discreet, large and imaginative, there is something for everyone.

PdPaola’s customizable signet rings

Published on June 11, 2022

Rings/Showroom

Chevalier-type rings were worn in the past by nobles (often illiterate) who used the jewel to engrave the coat of arms of their family on the sealing wax that sealed the correspondence. Over time they have become simple ornaments and from a typically masculine jewel they are now also worn by women. These rings, not improperly called a signet, are characterized by a larger surface, which houses an engraving, or a stone. The Spanish brand PdPaola proposes this type of ring in a version that, in a certain sense, is a return to the origin.

The rings, in fact, can be personalized by engraving a letter in the metal, and thus become a full-fledged signet, even if they will hardly be used to seal diplomatic letters. Alternatively, of course, the surface of the ring can remain unchanged. The Lace ring has a white surface framed by an oval and is made of 18K gold plated silver. Octet, on the other hand, has eight sides and always uses the same materials, silver plated.

A special look at the jewels of the milan designer Netali Nissim ♦ ︎
The Eye of Providence, the evil eye, the divine eye … But how many times the pupils became symbols of something? Nothing strange, therefore, that the eye is also one of the most used icons in jewelry. For those who are superstitious, the eyes on rings, necklaces or bracelets are considered talismans able to keep away bad luck, for those who are skeptical, an amusing ornament that is able to attract attention. And This it was also understood by Netali Nissim, who inherited from his father, a merchant of precious stones, a special eye (it is appropriate to say it) for diamond jewelery. And at the center of his collections he put the shape of the eye. The designer, who grew up in Milan, works in New York, but makes her jewels in Italy.

A simple look (obvious) at her work is enough to interpret the lively style, very trendy and winks (obvious also this) to the fashion world. Gold and diamonds are the main elements of the Netali Nissim menu, which also uses precious or semi-precious stones such as turquoise or quartz. In addition to the icon of the eye, repeated in many variations, the designer also uses the heart, or maxi chains. Do not lose sight of them.

The sensual knots of Fawaz Gruosi

Anelli della collezione Enlanced in oro rosa e ceramica

The knot unites, ties and, if it is a jewel, it is a symbol of love. As long as it is a special knot and, above all, that it is a pride to wear. Fawaz Gruosi, the great Italian-Lebanese jeweler, who founded his house in London with work in Geneva, proposes the theme of the knot in his personal interpretation. The Enlanced collection plays with intertwined gold, diamonds and ceramics. The jewels are made of white or rose gold with the typical enveloping style of Fawaz Gruosi. The oval shapes combine in different ways, from earrings to rings to pendants, but the design is always based on two elements. In the ring, for example, an oval wraps around the finger and curves around the skin. The second, although intertwined within the structure, is completely untied.

A game that is also a demonstration of goldsmith’s skill, as well as a refined example of design. Even in the hoop earring the design has the jeweler’s signature, with two ovals that fit together: the first on the front of the ear, the second starts in front before wrapping itself behind. The ceramic is presented in three variants: ivory, black and turquoise. But there are also jewels in semi or full diamond pavé versions. Diamonds, in particular, are generously sized for a pave, but are placed tightly together to leave as little metal as possible between them.

Holi is a traditional festival held in India, but also in other countries where there is a strong Hindu presence, and is also known as the Spring Festival or Festival of Colors. The festival of Holi celebrates the eternal and divine love of Radha Krishna and the triumph of good over evil. But it is also an opportunity to play and laugh, forget and forgive. The party lasts one night and one day and those who participate throw (harmless) colors with water guns and balloons. Play and struggle with colors occurs in open streets, parks, outside temples and buildings. Introduction necessary to explain the name of the Unoaerre collection called Holi.

The company from Arezzo (Italy), which is famous for its production of gold jewelry, chooses in this case a fashion jewelery style, which focuses entirely on shape and color. The jewels offered, in fact, are made of bronze dipped in gold, with the addition of colored shades of enamels that make the line very lively, as well as at affordable prices. A few examples: the earrings with a rose gold bath, pendant link and black and white enamel, are offered for 69 euros, the gilded bronze ring with light and dark orange enamel for 54 euros, the bracelet with a T-bar closure. 99 euros.

The family tradition, jewelers for three generations, and the design learned in Milan: Melis Goral, born in Istanbul, creates high-end jewelry. After graduating from the European Institute of Design in Milan, she lived in Italy, but also in New York. She traveled. And in 2008 Melis launched her brand and presented her first collection, Color Therapy. Her boutique overlooks the fascinating waters that border the Golden Horn. The intricate designs of Melis Goral use tailored cut emeralds, sapphires and rubies delicately intertwined with gold and diamonds.

The traces of the Art Deco movement are visible in his jewels, particularly in the geometric rigor, which however is combined with fantasy. But, at the same time, the goldsmith tradition that has flourished in Istanbul over the centuries transpires. In fact, Melis Goral’s jewels are made by artisans who work in the Grand Bazaar, where goldsmith craftsmanship is handed down from one generation to another. But, despite the fact that the manufacture is made in the heart of the Ottoman city, the collections do not have elements of a folk type or linked to ancient Turkish culture.
