The art of seeing black

Published on April 14, 2022

The new jewels by Jacqueline Cullen, designer who prefers the black color Whitby jet ♦

Sometimes seeing black can be a luxury: she knows this, Jacqueline Cullen, designer specializing in Whitby jet jewelery. Since it is very easy you don’t know what it is, you better explain: Whitby jet is a black fossil material, similar to lignite, which was formed in 180 million years. It is very soft to be worked and is also used to make jewelry. In particular, it is associated with the Victorian era mourning jewelry. The fashion to wear these jewels, in fact, was started by Queen Victoria, after the death of her husband, Prince Albert.

Jacqueline Cullen has chosen the Whitby jet, trying to enhance the material, carved hand. The fossil material is then combined with gold and diamonds, blacks of course, with some concessions to the hue champagne in rare cases. The result has a certain charm and, in any case, is distinguished from the rest of the common jewelry. But the designer doesn’t just use the Whitby jet. She also loves composing her jewels with Botswana agate together with champagne diamonds, or with stones such as spectrolite or black jade.

The jewels of Staurino Fratelli, one of the best Maison of Valenza, with a tradition of two centuries ♦

Staurino Fratelli is one of the large jewelery companies in the magical district of Valenza. A story that began in the 1800s, when Natale Staurino opened his first workshop and started making jewelry. Art continued with his nephew Pietro. After the Second World War, in 1950, Paolo Staurino, son of Pietro, continued the family tradition, working for some years for some of the most famous goldsmiths of Valenza. Over time, Paolo Staurino has learned the most modern techniques to produce quality jewelry spending time in different seminars and learning different techniques. After a few years his younger brother, Luigi, also entered the world of jewelry as an expert designer and skilled goldsmith.

The jump took place in 1960, when Paolo and Luigi founded Staurino Fratelli, which specializes in handmade custom jewelry. A tradition carried on by Davide and Stefano Staurino (fourth generation of jewelers), which continues the family business without abandoning the level of quality achieved. The story continues. For example, with a series of jewels inspired by butterflies and dragonflies: a classic reinterpreted with imagination and great technique.

The 6 rings by Jennifer Lopez

L'anello con diamante verde ricevuto da Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez‘s engagement rings: she has collected six. The most valuable is … ♦ ︎

Is there anything better than a wedding with the man you love? The answer is yes: six engagements are better accompanied by as many precious rings. Or, at least, this is the answer that Jennifer Lopez could give you, who has just announced her new official engagement, with its large diamond ring. Probably JLo is a collector of rings and the rotation of husbands and boyfriends is perhaps due to her desire to get new jewels as a gift.

Jennifer Lopez’s sixth engagement ring, thanks to the comeback of Ben Affleck, was designed and made by Tamara Rahaminov and Nicol Goldfiner, of Rahaminov Diamonds, Los Angeles. The ring has a special diamond: an 8.5-carat natural green gem, set with a white diamond and, surprisingly, on a silver band rather than white gold. Although the choice was probably not made to save money. Green is apparently also JLo’s favorite color. The value? There are those who have estimated the cost of diamonds up to 10 million dollars, because green diamonds are rare and precious but, probably, they cost less. Relatively less, of course.

The previous ring received by the American singer from her ex-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez was instead an emerald-cut diamond of 10-15 carats, with a value of up to 5 million.

L'anello con diamante di Jennifer Lopez — L’anello con diamante per Jennifer Lopez di Alex Rodriguez

The stone that she had given Alez Rodriguez has an emerald cut and the jewel is in Art Deco style. Perhaps not by chance it is very similar to that received by Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex who has considerable popularity (even if the critics are not lacking). In any case, in her first 53 years (which turns on July 24, 2022) JLo received six engagement rings, all of which cost at least six figures.

One of her most precious rings was Harry Winston’s pink diamond that Ben Affleck had previously given her. But the third last ring, also by Harry Winston but this time with an 8.5 carat blue diamond, was very precious: it was estimated that it cost 4 million dollars. It didn’t do much good, though.

La pietra che aveva regalato Alez Rodriguez ha un taglio smeraldo e il gioiello è in stile Art Dèco. Forse non a caso è molto simile a quello ricevuto da Meghan Markle, la Duchessa del Sussex che ha una notevole popolarità (anche se i critici non mancano). In ogni caso, nei suoi primi 53 anni (che compie il 24 luglio 2022) JLo ha ricevuto sei anelli di fidanzamento, tutti costati almeno sei cifre.

Uno degli anelli più preziosi è stato il diamante rosa di Harry Winston che le aveva regalato in precedenza Ben Affleck. Ma anche il terzultimo anello, sempre di Harry Winston ma questa volta con un diamante blu di 8,5 carati, era molto prezioso: è stato stimato che sia costato 4 milioni di dollari. Non è servito a molto, però.

Ann Korman, designer of Los Angeles among jewelry and Indian mysticism with her brand Ark ♦ ︎
Take journalism, yoga and jewelry: mix it up and add oriental spirituality. Then, free your creativity. This is how Ark, the jewelery brand founded by Ann Korman in Los Angeles, was born. A story that has, precisely, these starting points: the designer, who has worked for many newspapers of the Condé Nast group, has made a trip to India. And it was his spiritual guru who incited her to follow her destiny, that is, her passions. Three years later, Ann launched her jewelery line, November 2016. Two years later she is already on sale at Moda Operandi. The guru, it seems, was right.

Design has always been the ball of Ann Korman: after graduating in painting at Cornell University, she won the Master in Fine Arts, worked in art galleries in New York and, finally, as a fashion editor for some magazines. At the same time, she set out on the path of meditation, yoga and, as if that was not enough, she studied gemology and yoga, Kabbalah and nutrition, Hinduism and goldsmith arts. The result of this new age mix are the jewels of her collections, some of which you see on this page, which at least partially reflect the collection of her passions.

Mother’s Day is one of the few celebrations that unite the whole world, even when the world is divided. In truth, there is no common day for this holiday, even if all countries celebrate it more or less in spring: almost two thirds of it is set in May, while about a quarter celebrates it in March. In Italy, for example, Mother’s Day was introduced in the mid-fifties and is celebrated in early May. And it is also an opportunity for many companies to offer jewels dedicated to this anniversary, which are transformed into gifts.

Pandora, for example, offers new jewels with a design with intertwined circles from the Moments collection and others from the Timeless collection: the new jewels in this line include the Union of Hearts ring and a new Tennis Bracelet. Or, Pandora offers a heart-shaped pendant, or the Family Always Encircled hoop earrings, with a new circle design, characterized by sterling silver rounds, surrounding a central ring paved with cubic zirconia.

Mezzaluna still rises for Al Coro

Published on April 7, 2022

Showroom

Many jewelry brands are inspired by the Italian goldsmith tradition, often adopting names in Italian. Few, however, really have a link with the country of Dante and Raphael. Al Coro, on the contrary, has a solid link with Italy and, in particular, with the Veneto goldsmith district. Al Coro is a German brand, founded in 1964 by a Venetian goldsmith who emigrated to Germany, Giuliano Corolli, and is now managed by the descendants Alexander and Daniel. It is no coincidence that the names of the Al Coro collections refer to Italy of origin, such as Serenata, Caramella, Goccia, Palladio and the iconic Mezzaluna.

Celebrated three years ago the 20 springs of the collection, Al Coro continues to renew the Mezzaluna line with new variations, such as those launched in 2022. The jewels once again explore the sign of the crescent moon and use pink or white gold, also in a black rhodium-plated version. , together with white diamond pavé, or champagne. But the collection, which after 20 years has a number of maxi jewels, also includes jewels with semi-precious stones such as topaz and moonstone.

LJ, jewels in Rome with a Latin soul

Anello in oro rosa con rubini, diamanti, zaffiri rosa

The collections of LJ Roma 1962 ♦ ︎

Labor Jewels, renamed LJ Roma 1962, was born in 2001 from an offshoot of Artifex, a Roman company that deals with production for third parties of jewels created by the designer Armando Pasini, who also gave birth to the Bonato Milano brand. As it is easy to guess from the choice of a Latin word, Labor, which means work, the jewelry brand tends to associate its business with the atmosphere and culture of the history of Rome. So much so that on the website the inscription in Latin stands out: Magnos animos magnis honoribus fieri. That is: great ambitions make great spirits, a phrase attributed to Tito Livio.

Even if, in fact, it is not a choice that pushes the jewelry brand to look back to the past. The jewels, that is, do not refer to the glory of the Roman Empire (even if one of the collections is called, in fact, Empire) but rather to contemporary glamor. The small Maison also has a boutique in the center of Rome, in via Condotti.

The new Blenda road

Published on April 4, 2022

Rings/bracciale/COLLANE

Claiming that covid also had positive aspects is certainly wrong. But, in a certain sense, it has forced many people to have more free time, perhaps thanks to smart working. Or the birth of two twins. And this is what happened to a young girl from the Marche, who has worked for years in the fashion industry, and who has decided to bring out her passion for jewelry. The result is Blenda, a jewelry brand founded in spring 2021 in Rome by Cristina Tricarico.

I have always had a great passion for jewels, but having a very multifaceted soul I have always struggled to find my style and my way of perceiving elegance combined with everyday life and so, after starting to make them for myself, I felt the need to create my first selection of jewels, designed to reflect my personality and that of those who, like me, were looking for something truly unique, in a real jewelery tailor shop.
Cristina Tricarico

Another detail must be added: the name Blenda, perhaps few people know, is commonly the one referring to sphalerite, the mineral from which zinc is extracted. The name blenda derives from the German blenden, to deceive, due to its appearance which is confused with galena. The name of sphalerite derives from the Greek sphaleros, misleading.
That said, nothing of the new Blenda collections is misleading. The founder, who follows one-girl-show all the phases from design to realization, prefers the creation of unique pieces. Small diamonds and precious stones such as emeralds, rubies, sapphires and semiprecious stones such as tourmaline and aquamarine are set on rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings, the result of continuous research by the brand on the best Italian and international markets, and mounted on certified 18 carat gold. . In short, serious stuff.

The rainbow of Amen

Published on April 4, 2022

Rings/Orecchini/Showroom

A rainbow can be defined simply as a meteorological phenomenon caused by the reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in the water droplets in the atmosphere, which causes the appearance of a spectrum of light in the sky in the shape of a multicolored circular arc. But it would be an understatement. Because the rainbow has always also been a symbol, an event that has fueled mythology and fairy tales. In the mythology of ancient Northern Europe, the Bifröst rainbow becomes a bridge connecting the world of men with that of the gods. Or there is Cuchavira, god of the rainbow for the Muisca culture (now Colombia). At the end of a rainbow, Nordic myths still tell, there is the secret hiding place of an Irish elf with a pot of gold.

All this premise serves to introduce a simple Rainbow collection of the Tuscan brand Amen. The collection consists of rings and earrings made of rhodium silver, with the addition of white or colored cubic zirconia. The price does not reach 50 euros, a miracle of the rainbow.

Peter Lam: the name sounds vaguely Teutonic, but in reality the designer was born and operates in Hong Kong. In addition to creating collections under the name of his own company, Peter Lam is a manufacture that works on behalf of third parties. In 2008, a brand new factory with state-of-the-art technology was opened, which also opened the doors to international cooperation with world-renowned companies.

Jewelery with the Per Lam brand is made of 14-karat white or rose gold, decorated with diamonds and sapphires, but in some cases also with synthetic colored stones. The style is quite traditional and the brand’s catalog is very large. Peter Lam started his business in 1985, in Hong Kong. A passion for jewelry that began as a young man, when he worked in the jewelry shop inside the Hilton Hotel. He managed to make a career. And to make his dream come true.

Collezione Lucca, anello con quarzo fumé, oro giallo e diamanti champagne

Journey from South to North or, more precisely, to the center of Italy. After the collections dedicated to Syracuse and Matera, the Milanese brand Antonini goes up the peninsula to stop in Tuscany: the new collection, in fact, is inspired by Lucca. Small city, but with a great artistic heritage, Lucca is located close to the Apennine mountains. And it is precisely the contrast between plowed fields, woods and sky that alludes to the choice of semi-precious stones used: blue topaz, green amethyst and smoky quartz. The stones are set in a white or rose gold setting, polished or satin inversion. In addition, small diamonds are lined up on the metal circle.

The Lucca collection also adds a further elaboration in the Moi et Toi line, with rings that use opposing stones, two or three (moi, toi and the other?). The same idea is chosen for the earrings, also in this case in versions with two or three stones. In the Toi & Moi line, it should be noted that other stones have also been added, such as citrine and amethyst.

Salvatore Plata’s silver without limits

Gioielli della collezione Helenica indossati

Italian style jewelry, made in Spain, in Valencia. Now 30 years ago it was the idea of Salvador Pellicer Sánchez, who founded the Salvatore Plata brand (the word plata in Spanish means silver). But in addition to an Italian-inspired design, the founder also imported a record-breaking industrial production method. The brand, in fact, boasts the extraordinary ability to offer more than a thousand new pieces every season: a pace that very few can imitate.

An activity that, over the years, has led the Salvatore Plata brand to be present in about thirty countries. But, alongside the large-scale production, each season the jeweler also offers a more exclusive line: a series of limited edition pieces that, according to the company, have an audience that awaits them with trepidation. It goes without saying that the jewels are mostly made of silver, often treated with gold plating, as well as stones or crystals. The company also collaborates with Aimme (Instituto Tecnológico Metalmecánico of Valencia) to certify the absence of any toxic, illegal or carcinogenic metal in the jewelry for sale.

How to choose a ring

Published on March 26, 2022

Rings/Campus

A recurring question among those that come to the gioiellis.com editorial staff is: which ring to give? A simple engagement ring? Or a cocktail ring, perfect to show off at a party? And if the gift coincides with an anniversary, wouldn’t an eternity type ring be better? Let us try to give an answer. But with a premise: posed like this is a very vague question. Giving a jewel as a gift is always a good idea but, at the same time, it is often an expensive purchase: the choice must be carefully evaluated. And to choose a ring well you have to take into account some aspects.

Anello in oro rosa e diamanti by Alex Ball indossato

What kind of ring?
It is not enough to choose the type of jewel (in this case the ring), but it is necessary to identify the right type of ring. Cocktail? Engagement? For an anniversary? To go to the office every day? The intended use of a ring is the first aspect to choose. When will you wear it? On what occasion? If you want to give a cocktail ring, for example, think if the person who receives it often goes to a party, spends the evenings in a disco, or is a person who loves spending time on social occasions. In this case, a large, eye-catching, colorful cocktail ring is what you need. If, on the other hand, your intention is to give a ring tied to an intimate moment, as a couple, a simple band ring in gold or silver, with or without stone, is the one for you.

With which clothing?
A ring must be suitable for the type of clothing you are wearing. So before choosing a model, find out what your partner’s style is. Do you always dress in designer clothes? Then, perhaps, she will pay close attention to the name of the jeweler who made the jewel. Do you prefer sporty and undemanding clothes instead? Then it will be more tuned to a no-brand ring, but nice to wear. Is it a formal type? In this case, be careful not to buy an extravagant ring.

What is the shape of the hands?
Well yes, in addition to identifying the ring size (we wrote here how to do it), pay attention to the shape of the hands. If they are small and small, a large and heavy ring will seem out of tune. If, on the contrary, the hands are large, the ring must also be proportionate to the measurements of the wearer.

What is your budget?
Avoid buying a ring that costs too much: it is useless to give a jewel and then not have the money to pay for a dinner. But at the same time, do not save on the purchase of a ring: it is a jewel that will be worn for years and that will have to testify the intentions of those who donated it. You don’t want every time he looks at it, you think you’re mean, right?

Anello della collezione Vie Privée indossato — Giorgio Visconti, anello della collezione Vie Privée indossato

Choose the right stone
If you want to give a ring with a stone, choose a diamond. With a diamond you are on the safe side, it is unlikely that it will not be appreciated. But a diamond costs more than many other stones which are still a good choice. Aquamarine, amethyst, garnet, tanzanite, in addition to the classic precious stones such as emerald, ruby and sapphire, can be a valid alternative. An idea: you could give a ring with the gem tied to the birthday month. The birthstones can be found here.

What kind of ring

If your gift concerns the classic marriage request, which now also requires (??) someone willing to make the video while you kneel and show the ring (with the hope that she does not answer “no”), the solitaire is the ring that’s right for you. There are infinite variations, but the concept is always the same: a gold circle, more often white, with a diamond that stands out lonely and bright. How to choose? We wrote about it here.

But there are also many other types of rings. If the gift coincides with an important anniversary, even in this case choosing a diamond ring is always good. For example with an eternity type ring, if the anniversary is related to a couple relationship. As the name suggests, eternity symbolizes a love relationship that does not stop, which will last forever. Since the eternity ring is composed of a series of diamonds (but there are also versions with other stones) positioned along the band of the jewel, this type has the drawback of being often a little expensive. If, on the other hand, the anniversary refers to something less related to the passion of the couple, the choices may be different. A classic gift is a ring with colored stones: rubies, emeralds, sapphires. But also with spinel, rubellite, peridot or other semi-precious stones. In this case, the size of the stones and their visibility are much more important

If, on the other hand, you want to give a ring for your birthday, Christmas or to celebrate an event (or because you feel like it) you can opt for a cocktail ring. This choice, however, is very delicate. A cocktail ring does not have a classic style, like a diamond ring. Instead, they are fancy rings with a rather voluminous shape. Giving a ring like this also means knowing in depth the tastes of the woman who will wear it. In short, it is a risky choice but, certainly, a cocktail ring can be a very welcome gift. Provided you get the right choice.

The butterflies of Giovanni Raspini

Giovanni Raspini, collana della collezione Butterfly

Butterflies fly in the spring sky in search of flowers, but they also know how to inspire jewelry collections. But not all jewelry collections inspired by the butterfly turn into objects that simulate the colorful flying insect. Giovanni Raspini, for example, has decided to call Butterfly a jewelry collection where butterflies look so much like spring flower corollas. The wings, in fact, surround spheres of pink mother of pearl. Seen from afar, the butterflies and pink mother-of-pearl are reminiscent of a flowery meadow. Seen closely, however, the classic shape of butterflies can be identified.

The jewels are cast in burnished silver, with the stylized element of the white butterfly contrasting with the pink mother-of-pearl doubled with cabochon-cut quartz. Butterfly jewels also play on the light-dark effect that derives from the three-dimensional nature of the surface. The collection includes three necklaces, two bracelets, two rings and two pairs of earrings.

The romantic filigree of Allgold

The romantic story of AllGold, from the Italian province to the international market ♦ ︎
The story begin (almost) always just with little or nothing. But when the talent and the passion are there, then it happens that it goes on, up to goals that no one would have imagined. Like the story started in 1951, in a city of the Marche province, with Oscardo Aguzzi. A child who unfortunately became deaf at the age of three. A handicap that, however, became the main resource of Oscardo, who developed a special artistic sensibility. And it was therefore the special creative spirit that convinced the owner of the oldest goldsmith workshop in Fossombrone to take on the apprentice the young Oscardo to the Artisan Factory Orafa Bordoni Alfio.

Pendente in argento realizzato con la tecnica della filigrana

The talent of the young goldsmith then manifested itself with the winning of the first prize at the Goldsmith Exhibition S. Eligio of Milan, a very popular competition at the time. The story continued with the casual specialization in the technique of filigree (thanks to a goldsmith from Senegal). It is one of the most difficult goldsmith techniques, but Oscardo has learned to master.

The story, very romantic, has continued with the younger brother of Oscardo, Giorgio, who has joined his brother, for a certain period seriously ill. Having found an affinity, the Aguzzi brothers, Oscardo and Giorgio, have opened their first goldsmith workshop together in Fossombrone. The business grew rapidly, the two brothers in the eighties gave birth to the AllGold brand.
In the year 2000, Flavio Gregorio Topi joined the two: from talented apprentice to an entrepreneur. Since then, the company has reaped international successes and awards, exhibitions and prizes. Between Harrods in London and the Rockefeller Center in New York, passing from India, AllGold has conquered an international stage. And the story is not over yet.

Clip Mia and Sintesi for the springtime by Gismondi 1754

Orecchini in oro e rosa diamanti Clip Sintesi

Variations on the Clip theme. Spring music for Gismondi 1754 plays new notes that start from the music of the Clip collection, presented last fall. The variations are called Clip Mia and Clip Sintesi, and they made their debut at Vicenzaoro. As variations, they retain Clip’s inspirational themes, but with a more immediate and simple interpretation. And also with the possibility of a more informal use. The Clip collection, in fact, includes jewels with a high rate of value and formality. Mia and Sintesi represent a precious but easier version: a lightening, defined by the Genoese Maison.

The two new lines use, in any case, jewels in white or pink gold, with diamonds and precious stones such as emeralds, pink and blue sapphires. Clip Mia is proposed as a young and dynamic collection, which reflects a contemporary lifestyle. Clip Sintesi, on the other hand, was born from the aesthetic research of Massimo Gismondi, with the aim of finding a form code capable of summarizing the original inspiration, the simple office clip. A deconstruction that keeps only the essential elements, reaching the minimalism of the form and the purity of the sign.

Hulchi Belluni, new jewels, diamonds and Feng Shui

Rings/Diamanti/bracciale/Showroom

Anello in oro rosa 18 carati e diamanti della collezione Cubini

The new jewels by Hulchi Belluni: born in Belgium, they are produced in Italy, but they also have a hint of the Orient ♦

Martine Hul is a diamond pavé specialist. And she couldn’t be otherwise: she lives and works in the heart of the diamond capital, Antwerp, Belgium. She is a professional in the jewelry industry with a long experience behind her. In 2001 she decided to found her own jewelry line under the Hulchi Belluni brand, which sounds Italian. The explanation is there: the word Hulchi derives from the foundress’s surname (Hul) to which is added (chi), which is a reference to Eastern philosophy. Belluni, on the other hand, sounds similar to the Italian words “bella luna” (beautiful moon). Because Italy was also a source of inspiration for the Belgian designer.

Anello in oro rosa e diamanti della collezione Cheri

In fact, among the collections there are also jewelry lines with the Italian name such as Cubini or Funghetti. The Belgian Maison also has another link with Italy: its jewels are in fact made in Arezzo. However, not all pavé diamonds are the same: the formula of setting many small stones next to each other alternates with elaborate shapes in pink, yellow or white gold.

Bracciali e orecchini della collezione Cubini indossati

But that is not all. Because to distinguish the Belgian brand there is also the choice of designing the jewels in line with the principles of Feng Shui. If you don’t know what it is, we quote the definition from Wikipedia: “Taoist geomantic art of China, an auxiliary of architecture, akin to Western geomancy. Unlike this, however, it also takes into consideration aspects of the psyche and astrology. There is currently no scientific proof of his hypotheses. ” But whether you are fascinated by Feng Shui or not, the jewels are certainly real.

Chains with Fantasy for Fawaz Gruosi

If there is one thing that Fawaz Gruosi does not lack, it is fantasy. In his new Maison, created in his image and likeness, the jeweler unleashes his proven experience, together with the usual gift of creativity. The Fantasy line was born on this basis, a collection inspired by the eternal shape of the chain. It takes imagination, in fact, to propose chains that are different from those commonly found on the market, but also from those that offer other brands devoted to design. Mission accomplished.

Two sautoirs feature flat, elongated and organically shaped oval rings in pink, gold and ivory ceramic, or white, gold and black ceramic. For some models, diamonds are added, with smaller tonneau-shaped links, that is, more rounded. The gems are arranged in an apparently random way, but in reality with a perfect balance. The jewelry clasp was specially developed in Fawaz Gruosi’s atelier in Geneva so that it can be seamlessly integrated into the design.

The collection also includes bracelets, with the same style and the same materials: they are available in pink gold and ivory ceramic, or in white gold and black ceramic, with each link made unique by the original par hazard diamond setting. Fantasy earrings are composed of a sequence of rings in pink or white gold joined by small tonneau-shaped links, ending with a drop of ivory or black ceramic. Each earring is individually signed with a letter F on the back, which also indicates that the earring must be worn on the right lobe, while the letter G indicates the left. Finally, there is no shortage of rings in the Fantasy collection. In this case the chain has rounded links to follow the shape of the finger and adapt better.

Often it is the smallest jewels that pose the greatest challenges, and this ring is one example. It is not easy to mix ceramic and gold, but once again my skilled goldsmiths have given body to my Fantasy.

Anello in argento placcato, malachite e turchese

Ti Sento Milano is a brand with an Italian name, but owned by the Dutch group Ibb. Now the brand presents the new spring / summer 2022 collections. It is always silver jewelry, which is the Maison’s specialty. In some models the jewels use pavé stones, rose gold plating, combinations of white stones and mother of pearl, for a combination of warm and cold shades, but also with platings that simulate a semi-precious stone such as malachite.

The brand’s jewels are all produced in 925 sterling silver and rhodium-plated to increase their shine. Rhodium plating is also an additional protection against abrasion and natural oxidation. Sometimes, for some pieces of the collection, a yellow or rose gold plating is used, while single stones and pavé are cubic zirconia, or hard stones like turquoise. The shapes are traditional and the prices in the category average: from around 50 to 250 euros for the most precious pieces.

Ceramic rings, colored diamonds, pearls: the work of Etienne Perret, Swiss transplanted in Maine ♦

It is for 40 years one of the greatest designers of diamonds: Etienne Perret, of Swiss origin, working in the USA, Maine. He won two awards Diamonds of Distinction and was twice a finalist in the prestigious Diamonds International Design Competition. But he is not only an expert gemologist: he is also a jewelry designer. “I based my career on the idea that jewelry should be designed to be a complement to a woman. An object not only beautiful, but also wearable. It has to fit like a glove and not compromising on comfort, “he said.

This is also why the designer also uses materials such as ceramics, often combined with colored diamonds. And not only those now common, as the brown or champagne tone: it is actually able to make collections that have almost all colors of the rainbow. But not only. Even colored pearls occupy an important place in its proposal for jewelry. The shapes are amazing, sinuous, enveloping, with which manages to combine a European style with a touch of eccentricity American.
