The conversations with the moon of Karma El Khalil

//




She is a designer with a degree in psychology, of Lebanese origins, but with life and work in New York: Karma El Khalil is one of the most imaginative representatives of the new jewelry. Her new collection is called Conversations with the moon and for the designer she represents the positive turning point after the long pandemic season. It is also a collection with an immediately recognizable temperament, which uses large semi-precious stones, in particular morganite, opal, topaz and apatite. Gems are best used, with surprising effects, often with clusters on chandelier earrings.

The gems are set in 18K gold, along with small diamonds set in the metal. In some cases the stones have been left in their original, rough state, but most of the time they follow traditional cuts. The idea is that the stones can recall the reflections of the moon on the large skyscrapers of the city but, of course, those who wear a jewel of this type are likely to soon forget the combination. Prices range from $ 1,200 to $ 21,000.

Flowery Rosato with Gaia

///




Gaia, in addition to being a female name, in Greek mythology was the personification of the Earth, one of the primordial deities. Gaia was considered the mother of Uranus (the sky) and of Pontus (the sea). This is why the name Gaia today is associated with that of the Earth and, at the same time, of nature. But now also, among other things, also to a collection by Rosato, which not surprisingly is developed with an explicit reference to spring, flowers, plants. Not only that: Gaia is also a reference to that season of the Sixties when flowers were a reason for peaceful social rebellion, against wars (a value, that of peace, which is worth remembering even today).

The flower rings of the collection are made with cubic zirconia on sterling silver, in a natural version or with subsequent galvanic pink gold, which represents the typical Rosé style. The jewelry also uses beads and enamel. In addition to the rings, the Gaia line includes bracelets, necklaces and earrings.

The candies of Paolo Piovan

///




Although he is known all over the world for his whimsical jewels and his animalier style compositions, Paolo Piovan also does much more. The jeweler from Padua (Italy), in fact, also creates other precious jewels, but not necessarily unique pieces that are in fact wearable sculptures. The Candy Collection, which focuses on the combination of soft colored gems, with different cuts, but with a prevalence of the pillow shape, is part of the less demanding jewelry category, and more easily matched during the normal daily routine.

The Candy Collection jewels include rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings made of white or pink gold with the addition of one or more diamonds combined with semi-precious gems. The stones used are topaz, in blue and madeira colors, citrine quartz, lemon, peridot, purple or green amethyst. The stones have rather generous dimensions and make up clusters of various shades, with different combinations. But, despite the name, they can’t be mistaken for candy.

New gems from Sofragem

/




Sofragem has earned a name in the world of jewelry: it is at the same time a manufacturer for third parties and a brand that offers its own collections. He works in one of the world centers of jewelry, Bangkok, where many large Western Maisons, in Europe and in the USA, also have all or part of the creation of high jewelery collections carried out. Sofragem has a special place among these production companies: 160 goldsmiths work there, some of whom have specialized in France.

Much of Sofragem’s production is centered on gems. But not only. The company’s production, in addition to being one of the main manufacturers in the sector and which it produces on behalf of third parties, also includes collections of jewels with its own brand. These are jewels with a different style, which sometimes follow that of the best-known brands, without however being copies. In short, jewels range from the classic style, with diamonds and precious stones, to a more modern genre, where the setting technique becomes in some cases an example of goldsmith virtuosity.

The second life of Erin Flynn Fine Jewelry




Working for 40 years in the world of finance, between mergers and acquisitions, can be exciting. But in the end she gets tired. Thus, after having worked in several companies and having founded the Vator Investment Club as a business angel, Erin Flynn in 2021 turned the page to devote herself to jewelry, in San Francisco. After, however, having studied the market, Cad design and gained experience from Tiffany and Cartier. The result is Erin Flynn Fine Jewelry. The first collections are called Megawatt, Champagne Bubbles and Defining Lines and are made in the classic three colors of gold with the addition of round or navette cut diamonds.

Rings, earrings and necklaces have simple, minimal shapes, but with a design that adds a defined style to the jewelry. Champagne Bubbles, for example, reproduces the visual effect of bubbles in sparkling wine glasses. The Megawatt line, on the other hand, focuses on alternating between different stone cuts and Defining Lines chooses the path of geometry, with the addition of brooches also for men.

Relax with Chillout for Verdi Gioielli

/




Verdi Gioielli alongside its classic jewels with colored precious stones, such as tanzanite, turquoise and coral, outlined with black enamel frames, on the occasion of Haute Jewels Geneva the Maison of Valenza also presented the Chillout collection. As the name means, which also indicates a particularly relaxing music, the idea is that of a line of jewels of all serenity. According to Verdi Gioielli, in fact, the line focuses on relaxing shades of gold, in particular in the white and pink varieties.

The collection includes rings, earrings and many bracelets, which use diamond pavé with a geometry that is studiously casual. The stones are both spaced apart and gathered in swarms, with a style that makes the jewel pleasantly natural. The company founded in 1971 by Giuseppe Verdi and now run by Marco Verdi, however, is not new to collections centered on gold and diamonds, which bring to mind the beginnings, now half a century ago, of the Valenza brand.

Nina tra le Nuvole, from design to bijoux




Elena Rosso, designer of the Nina tra le Nuvole brand, is a graphic designer who works in the advertising field. But her passion for bijoux led her, in 2012, to design her bijoux collections. Since then she has never stopped: she designs and creates rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings in her Turin studio. The pieces are handcrafted: they are all handmade and with a great variety of styles, as you can see from the images we publish, which summarize the different creative lines. The materials used are resins, aluminum, brass, crystals, galvanized bronze and Swarovski rhinestones. Bronze or brass are worked and galvanized with different precious metals, such as yellow gold, pink gold, silver and ruthenium.

In this way the bijoux rise a step above the simple jewelry. In addition to Turin, Nina tra le Nuvole’s “nijoux” can be found in various stores around Italy. Nina, that is Elena, is keen to emphasize that all products are nickel-free, allergies averted for sensitive skin. The prices of the jewels you see in the images are very accessible: they do not exceed a few tens of euros.

Life in pink with Felicia by Bronzallure

/




Bronzallure‘s motto is “Moi, je vis en rose”, that is, I live in pink. A phrase that equates to a declaration of happiness, a state of mind that is more than ever necessary medicine in spring 2022. It is not by chance, perhaps, that one of the collections proposed for the new season by the Milanese brand is called Felicia. A greeting? Perhaps. But, above all, the collection proposes the main themes of Bronzallure, starting with the Golden Rose metal, patented from an idea of ​​the creative director Albert Mouhadab. In essence, it is a copper-based alloy, which is subsequently plated with 18-karat rose gold, nickel and cadmium free.

In the case of the Felicia collection, metal is accompanied by multi-faceted natural stones, such as quartz, topaz or amethyst, which in some cases are combined with colorless cubic zirconia. The stones can be proposed individually or in a mix, for example amethyst, amazonite and rose quartz. The collection is quite large and includes rings, earrings and chains with pendants.

Bibigì with diamonds or in colors




Born in 1979 in Valenza, from the idea of ​​three professionals in the sector (Franco Beltrami, Aldo Bernardotti and Bruno Guarona, three friends, professionals in the goldsmith sector), Bibigì became known for its ability to offer jewels at low cost, but of respectable execution and even more respectable appearance. At the center of the brand’s style there have always been diamonds, with gems that respect the values ​​in accordance with the Kimberly Process, that is, with stones coming exclusively from guaranteed sources and conflict-free areas. Collections that Bibigì regularly presents at trade fairs, such as Vicenzaoro or more recently at Tarì, where it presented the Idylium collection.

Alongside the collections with diamonds at the center, as in the case of the Diamonds on the skin collection, the company offers jewels with precious or semi-precious stones, such as aquamarine or tanzanite. The design of the jewels is always quite classic, with a particular specialization in rings intended for anniversaries, weddings, engagements or ceremonies. But there is no lack of more lively rings, such as those of the Arcobaleno collection.

Two-color Fope Essentials

//




Two matching gold colors. The idea of ​​jewelry using different shades of the precious metal is a classic. But, of course, new ideas can also be found in tradition. And that’s what Fope did with the new jewels of the Essentials collection, a line of gold rings and earrings designed around the iconic twentieth century sweater. It is a collection that the Venetian brand offers as a transversal solution, that is, with jewels that can be combined with any other collection of the brand.

As in the other jewels of the Maison, at the center there is the concept of flexibility, which remains the protagonist thanks to rings available in three thicknesses and proposed in the Flex’it version and to an innovative design of teardrop earrings that perfectly maintains the shape with its tiny gold springs hidden in the weave. The novelty for 2022, however, is the pairing on the same jewel between white and yellow gold, or pink in different combinations. The jewels, in this case, are divided in half between the two shades of color, while in the earrings there are also details in pavé diamonds.

Pianegonda starts again from the Incipit

////




The Latin word incipit usually indicates the opening words of a book, a song and, in a piece of music, the opening notes or bars. More generally, in Latin the incipit is the beginning of something, for example of a relationship between two people. And it is also the word that gives its name to a collection of Pianegonda, the Italian brand of the Bros Manifatture group. Pianegonda, in its new life, in fact uses names derived from the language of ancient Rome for its collections.

The Incipit collection includes a bracelet and different models of earrings and rings, made of 925% silver and elements in 9-carat rose gold. The design of the individual elements resembles the shape of the full moon. According to Pianegonda, Incipit jewels can be worn for any occasion and with any look. The brand also emphasizes that innovative techniques have been used in the creation of the jewels, to ensure perfect wearability. As evidenced by the models portrayed in the white environment of the marble quarries in the Apuan mountains, in Tuscany.

A white gold ring?

/




White gold is the metal you like best, especially those who get married. But do you really know everything about white gold? Maybe you think of buying a ring? This metal, in fact, has strengths, but also some flaws: better to know everything first. In this article, we explain the characteristics and weaknesses of white gold.

Il classico anello in oro bianco e tre diamanti di Tiffany & co.
Il classico anello in oro bianco e tre diamanti di Tiffany & co.

According to the American marketing company GemFind, in fact, the most searched metal on the web in 2019 was 14 carat white gold, with 41% of clicks, followed by 18 carat white gold with 11%. In short, over half of the research concerns precisely white gold: a sign that it is the preferred metal, certainly in the USA and in Europe.

Why gold turns white
Gold in nature is yellow. White gold, in fact, is obtained by mixing the original yellow metal with other elements to lighten the color. The most common alloy for making gold white includes nickel, palladium, platinum and manganese. But sometimes copper, zinc or silver are also used, but these metals have contraindications because they can oxidize on contact with air and skin. Alternatively, a thin platinum plating (which is naturally white) in alloy with iridium, ruthenium or cobalt can be used, which add strength to this alloy.

Orsini, anello ondulato in oro bianco e diamanti

How much yellow gold is there in white gold?
It depends on the carats, a measure that serves to indicate the proportion between the yellow gold contained and the other metals. 18-karat white gold is composed of 75% original metal and 25% other metals. 14-karat gold has only 58.3% of natural gold and for 9-karat white gold the proportion is reduced to 37.5%.

C&C, anello in oro bianco e diamante taglio marquise

The right color for white
Many buy a white gold ring because it has a very simple color and is shiny on one finger, perhaps because there is also a beautiful diamond in addition to metal. But white gold isn’t actually polished. Indeed, it is opaque. The glossy white, in fact, is obtained with the rhodium-plated metal plating, a patina is applied to all the white gold jewels. Without rhodium plating, white gold may appear gray, tending to beige or pale pink.

Nickel allergies
Warning: white gold, especially in the past, has often been obtained with the massive use of nickel, which corrects the yellowish white tinge. But nickel is also a metal that can cause allergies: about one in eight women suffers from it. Those who suffer from nickel allergies must make sure that the white gold that contains nickel has been rhodium: the external patina, in fact, avoids the contact of nickel with the skin.

Plating
As we have mentioned, white gold jewelry usually has a platinum or rhodium plating. Plating makes the jewelry sparkly, but it also has two weaknesses. The first is that plating prevents a ring from being easily tightened or enlarged. Because, of course, rhodium plating must be done again. The second problem is that this patina fades over time and must be applied again. Rhodium plating can also be lost due to sweat from the skin or frequent contact with detergents, other metals or commonly used items. Therefore, if you wear the ring often, the rhodium plating should be done every two years or so. If you do not do the rhodium plating again, the ring will begin to have a yellow and opaque hue. But don’t be afraid, it’s an operation that lasts a couple of hours and is not too expensive.

Yin and Yang for Picchiotti’s Perfect Harmony

//




Even in Picchiotti’s jewels, as in life, it’s all a question of balance. A concept well represented in Chinese cosmology by the juxtaposition of Yin and Yang. According to this, the universe was created from a primary chaos of energy, organized in the cycles of Yin and Yang, principles that are then reflected in people’s lives, as well as in the way the world works (man and woman, winter and summer , shadow and light, etc.). From this philosophy, which is also aesthetic, the Maison of Valenza took inspiration for three rings that he called Perfect Harmony.

Anello in oro, diamanti, corallo rosso
Anello in oro, diamanti, corallo rosso

The balance, in this case, was achieved with the use of opaque stone shapes (coral, onyx or turquoise) and a surface paved with diamonds that form the characteristic geometry of the Yin and Yang symbol, which merge to create a perfect harmony. However, it is not a simple representation of the graphic symbol of the cosmological conception, but of a creative elaboration, which has given volume and grace to the jewel without forgetting its iconic origin.

The gentle cactus of Bona Calvi

/




At the beginning of the 1969 film Cactus Flower, young Toni Simmons (Goldie Hawn) attempts to commit suicide by inhaling gas from the stove. But she is saved by her neighbor and the comedy evolves into a funny crescendo of misunderstandings and love affairs. Moral: even the thorniest events can evolve and flourish, so there is hope at the bottom of every mishap. A film that Bona Calvi must have liked, enough to inspire the Cactus capsule collection. Don’t worry: jewels don’t sting.

The miniature cacti are made of bronze, with a small emerald, ruby ​​or rose cut diamond in the center. Cactus jewelry includes rings, a bracelet and earrings. The jewels are handcrafted using the traditional lost-wax modeling technique in her laboratory in the center of Milan. After high school, Bona Calvi enrolled at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and later at the Ambrosiana Goldsmith School in Milan. She started making jewelry in 2015.

Pearls in Eclipse with Yoko London

There is not only high jewelery, such as the necklace worn in the Bridgerton tv series, which is set in England during the Regency period, among the most interesting novelties of Yoko London. At the recent Haute Jewels Geneva the Maison also showed the new Eclipse collection, consisting of contemporary-style hoop earrings and easy-to-wear stackable rings.

Pearls, which are the characteristic element of Yoko London, in this case are used in small sizes of 3-3.5 millimeters, so that they are able to enrich rings in white or yellow gold, alternating with brilliant-cut diamonds. Furthermore, freshwater pearls are offered in the classic white pearly white color, or in a pink version. The rings, like the earrings, are of two volumes, with one or two rounds of pearls.

Valentina Callegher’s jewels

The classic jewels of Valentina Callegher – Digo Valenza: novelty in the tradition ♦ ︎

The jewelry of Valentina Callegher, founder and designer of the collections, are part of the jewelery school born and raised in Valenza. The production of jewelry is divided into two. On one side there is Callegher Gioielli, which works on behalf of third parties. On the other, there is Valentina Callegher – Digo Valenza, which offers collections with its own brand. The substance, however, does not change. The company is one of those that are famous for their ability to create jewelry with a high attention to product quality.

As the company explains, gold, precious stones, pearls and research into shapes, are designed according to a taste and a historical sensitivity typical of Made in Italy products.

A lot of gems for Rodney Rayner

/




The unconventional tradition of Rodney Rayner, a four-time British designer who won the Las Vegas Couture Awards ♦

Rodney Rayner a few years ago participated in VicenzaOro in the area dedicated to trendy authors. On the other hand, the jeweler loves Italy, so much so that a large part of his production has names that recall Italian locations, such as Via Roma or Laguna. Rodney founded his brand in 1981. But the turning point came six years later, in Inhorgenta, the Munich Fair. Here Rodney Rayner met his wife Karin, who became his partner in the jewelry company.

The brand is well known internationally, so much so that it has won the prestigious Couture design award in Las Vegas four times, and has been among the finalists for 11 consecutive years. “My jewels are precious, highly unique and very exclusive,” says Rodney. “Each piece is created using precious stones one by one, with bright or soft colors, which are specially cut for my design requirements, specific to each creation”. The designer still loves to do things according to tradition: no computer project with 3D software, he prefers to use pencils and wax. It is no coincidence that Britain is admired for its traditions.

Silver rock and rebellious soul of Ell, a small Maison in Milan ♦ ︎
Two brothers, one goal: to chisel silver to make it an original jewel. With a bit of rock music. Lorenzo and Luca Cavolini, who were joined by two other brothers, Camilla and Gian Luca Clivio, gave life to Ell, a small Maison based in Milan. Behind them have a family tradition of craftsmanship: the father Luigi, goldsmith, has approached his sons to jewelry since childhood. But to stimulate Lorenzo and Luca to take the path of jewelry was a ring worn by Keith Richards, founder of the Rolling Stones (along with Mick Jagger), but also of a rock fashion style, with tattoos and leather jacket.

The Milanese brand offers handmade jewelry, generally in burnished silver, but also with gold and natural stones such as quartz, onyx, sunstone or raw amethyst. The style is between dark and indie, in which there are classic icons of the genre, such as skull, noose, and eye. Or, to emphasize the feeling with those outside the rules there is a collection called Criminal tattoo rings. But it is not necessary to have a heavy metal soul to wear Ell necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings.

Schreiner, the Bavarian luxury

/




In Grünwald, suburb of Monaco of Bavaria, Gerhard Schreiner has built an empire of the jewel. High jewelry not only for German women, but for half the world. On the other hand, the story of jeweler begins in Colombia in 1988, in search of emeralds. Today Schreiner, specializing in fine jewelry, has 300 employees, with designers who are in Italy and Spain. To him, though, care the most romantic side of the craft: every stone a secret, each pearl a tear of fairy, says in his autobiography.

And more, an artistic value: quotes, in fact, Andy Warhol that said a visit to jewelery store worth as “the best contemporary art exhibition,” perhaps for the prices of the exhibits. Jewels and diamonds for all, in short, at least in the book of wishes. In any case, the collections of the German Maison convinced that the luxury street has several traffic lights to stop: one is this dense style, but without excess, with large stones, but with not too saturated colors, shining but not dazzling.

Arthus-Bertrand, medal and jewels

A French Maison with behind more than 200 years of history: here are the jewels designed by Arthus-Bertrand.

Turn the hands of the clock back and you will arrive at the year 1083. The British finish the exploration of Australia and discover that it is an island. The Italian scientist Alessandro Volta begins the industrial production of his battery. The United States buys Louisiana from France for $ 15 million. And in Paris, after the establishment of the Legion of Honor, the Consulate and the army asked to produce decorations, made by the Arthus-Bertrand workshop.

The French goldsmith thus becomes a specialist in engraving. Even today the Maison produces medals and official decorations. But over time he has also added jewels. Also in this case, a good part of the jewels are dedicated to important moments, to celebrations such as weddings or anniversaries. However, there is no shortage of jewels to wear every day. At Arthus-Bertrand 250 specialized artisans work, in particular, to make silver and gold jewelry. They have nothing to do with officialdom, but they are very simple, modern jewels, which do not reveal the more than 200 years of history behind them. Knowing that there is a long history behind it, however, makes you appreciate more what you buy.
