Bracelets and elastic rings in rose gold, even with diamonds: this is the specialty of the Arezzo Treemme company ♦

Born in the fifties in the Arezzo area on initiative of the founder, Enzo Dall’Avo, Treemme is a company that is still appreciated mostly as contract manufacturer. The 80% of its turnover is derived, in fact, by the realization of jewels commissioned by big and small brands, which designing their own collections, but then entrusted with the production companies like Treemme.

With time, however, the company has also learned to propose its original collections. And, although these represent only a part of the company, they are not by no means negligible. The lines as Mosaic, Reflex or Arcadia, are all characterized by a strong combination of pink or yellow gold with white diamonds. The bracelets have a shape rather decided, but are easy to wear because hidden inside a rubber band. The rings are proposed in several variations on the theme, with many elements that are combined to form a kind of small crown.

The 10 jewels that every woman should have

What are the jewels that every woman should have? Here are the ten jewels to close in the drawer: sooner or later they will be the right ones to wear ♦ ︎

There are items of clothing that every woman must have ready in the closet: a dark dress for the evening, a suit of jacket and skirt / pants for formal occasions, a silk handkerchief to wipe away the tears in front of the last romantic movie. In the same way, there are jewels that should not be missing in the box from which in the morning you choose what to wear. Of course, there are jewels that go well every day, not binding: to go to the office or go shopping, for a walk or drink tea with friends. But there are many occasions in life when, often, a jewel makes the difference. So, before buying another jewel, read this article. Here are the ten jewels that can not miss in your collection.

1 Cocktail ring

Large, showy, colorful: these rings are so called because they wore at the years of Prohibition, in America. Women were also secretly drinking cocktails (and not only), and they accentuated the transgression by wearing very showy rings. Even today on the occasion of a party, a moment of sociability, celebrations (but not in official ceremonies) are indicated cocktail rings, which are noticed even when the atmosphere is crisp and confusing.

2 Hoop earrings

In gold, simple: the hoop earrings are among the oldest jewels, but if they still like today there is a reason. The round earrings, in fact, are good for any occasion and practically with every clothing. But, be careful: the size and the thickness of the earrings must be well proportioned to the size and shape of the visa. A pair of large earrings worn by a small woman of stature and with a round face, will seem hopelessly disproportionate. In contrast, very small hoop earrings, which just surround the earlobe, will be little appreciated on a very long face, perhaps on a woman with a height above the average.

3 Earrings with diamonds

Well yes: the simple diamond stud earrings, worn together with a dark suit, an evening dress, are a touch that makes a perfect gala dinner, but also an official occasion, in which you have to look elegant. An advantage of these earrings is that the diamonds are a little less visible than those mounted on a ring or necklace. You can also choose stones of a mediocre quality: hardly anyone will notice it.

4 Necklace with pendant

Sooner or later a necklace with pendant finds its ideal location: the dress with or without neckline, but which is enhanced thanks to the jewel. The pendant, however, must be appropriate: not too big, with the risk of turning into a pendulum when walking. But not too small to be almost invisible. A necklace pendant must have a shape that remains etched, it is noted, without being bizarre. One idea is to collect pendants with the same subject (a flower, an animal, a ring).

5 Cuff bracelet

A bracelet that covers the wrist can become the winning idea when wearing a shirt or a shirt without sleeves or with short sleeves. Enhance the arms, hands and probably even the bank account of the jeweler who sells it. Yes, because the bracelet is a special piece: if it is not excellent it risks becoming a jewel that weighs down, cluttered, out of place. A tip: even if the cuff is a gem to have, do not buy it if you have big wrists. In that case it is better to stay on very thin and light bracelets.

6 Pearl necklace

Exact: a pearl necklace. That classic, timeless, boring string of pearls. Do you think you will never wear it? Mistake. Will arrives a day when the line of simple pearls, not too small and not too big, solves the problem of the jewel-dress combination. On a shirt and blue jeans, on a gray or blue suit, on a fancy dress: a string of pearls never disappoints, especially if you have to present yourself with a certain elegance. Okay, maybe it’s not a necklace you’ll wear every day, but a pearl necklace is like a lifeboat donut: it’s necessary.

7 The sautoir

In other words, a thin and long, very long necklace with one or more turns. The sautoir had its moment of glory in the twenties of the last century, and then repeatedly came back into fashion, until it became a classic jewel. You can decide your own style, but a sautoir in gold, with small stones or pearls, is a gem worth two. In the sense that a long sautoir can be rolled around the wrist to be easily transformed into a bracelet. Remember, however, that the sautoir lengthens the appearance of the body. If you are already tall and thin lean a sautoir could harm your look.

8 Solitaire

If you have already got it, you already have it. But if no one proposed marriage to you while holding a white gold ring with a small or large diamond, then it is appropriate that you provide by yourself. Showing off a solitaire ring, that is, with a single gleaming diamond, is not just an aesthetic choice: it is a message to the competition. When it is time, sometimes it is necessary to let people know that there are people in the world who want you, so much so that they commit themselves to pay a substantial sum to buy a diamond ring and give it to you.

9 Brooch

Ok, until recently, brooch was synonymous with grandma. It was a past fashion jewel, which tasted of old. It’s not like that anymore. From some years the brooch has rightly returned to the necessary jewels. A dress a little anonymous can reborn thanks to a fun and precious brooch. Animals, flowers, emoji: the choice is free, provided that the jewel is not of little value, but that witnesses a good goldsmith’s ability of those who created it.

10 Chain necklace

As old as the world, as young as the many stars that wear it: a simple gold chain is a solution to complete many outfits. But when one says chain, one does not indicate a single, precise jewel: in reality there are many different types and it is necessary to choose the one that best suits one’s style and, above all, the shape of the body. The short, heavy chains with wide rings are not recommended for those who do not have adequate height and a long form. Thinner and longer, but without exaggeration, for women who are less tall. Pay attention to the weight: the chains of the past became rather annoying if worn for a long time. Today, however, it is easier to find little heavy.

The colorful gems of Trimoro jewels: a brand grew in Thailand, but born in France.

The streets of the jewelry are endless. Some, however, go in Thailand: the country called the Kingdom of gems, has long been a crossroads for those who trade in precious stones, but also for those who make jewelry in unknown laboratories. Jewelry, then, that often bear the signature of some Western Maison. It is no coincidence, for example, that Trimoro, based in Bangkok, was founded 25 years ago in Paris by Robert Braun, an expert on precious stones. It is a manufacturer that produces jewelry on behalf of third parties.

Under his leadership the business has grown to evolve into a company that manufactures designer jewelry, based in the Asian country, thanks to the work of 180 highly skilled craftsmen. The Trimoro guide is, however, remained mostly French, with a team of experts with training between Gia and Place Vendôme. Gold, platinum and large colored stones are the main dishes of its menu. But more than open boutiques around the world, the company produces for others, or sells through online channels. Take a look at his catalog, in short, it is almost like peeking into someone else’s house. It can be indiscreet, but fun.

Gerardo Sacco, from Magna Grecia to the big screen

Anello con maschera, in oro 18 carati e diamante

Magna Graecia (Greater Greece) is the geographical area of the Italian peninsula, South and Sicily, which was formerly colonized by the Greeks starting from the eighth century BC. What has remained since then? Temples, ancient ruins. But also a certain cultural heritage of which Gerardo Sacco could be part. He is a jeweler from Crotone, specializing in silver processing, but not only. In part, his work seems to collect the ancient legacy of Magna Graecia in the territory that in those centuries was called Enotria.

After the apprenticeship in a goldsmith workshop in Calabria, Gerardo Sacco went as far as Valenza (a thousand kilometers north) to improve and perfect the gold working technique. And in 1963 he started the production of his jewels, with a style that collects the Mediterranean tradition, but also the most ancient one. In addition to the masks of the Greek tragedy, reproduced on some rings, the metalwork with embroidery is connected to the Baroque tradition of Southern Italy.

One aspect of his activity, however, is directly connected with current times: his jewels have been used in various film, theater and television productions. They have been worn by Liz Taylor to Isabella Rossellini, from Monica Bellucci to Elena Sofia Ricci, and they have also been used for period films and operas. A bridge between Magna Graecia and the world of entertainment.

A pinch of exotic and a lot of ability to design cross-sectional jewels, that is to say, that appeal to different categories of women: Taj Joaillerie ♦

There are brands like Taj Joaillerie, that born casually. This is the case: Rita Chraibi first she followed a course in economics. Then, she worked in a bank, moving among Lima, Mexico City, London and Paris. Later she moved to Dubai (know Arabic, is of Moroccan origin) on behalf of Google. Only after this process of managers in career discovered his vocation for jewelry. And, since the designer is one who does things seriously, she graduated from the GIA, the Gemological Institute of America, where he learned the jobs of jewellery. If you do not know, you can take now a look at his work now.

She started later, but she has recovered time soon. And without denying the origins: its latest collections are an ode to the past, to pay tribute to Morocco, with its handicrafts and arabesques. Each piece, however, starts with the choice of gemstone. And if she does not forget her ethnic origins, she does not forget even what she learned in her first life: she has set up a team dedicated to the design of a new collection every three months. Her jewelry, as well as the careful selection of stones, are distinguished for the specific use of metal: brushed gold, rhodium matt black or bronze, with what it calls a “rebel look.” She directly sells her jewelry also online.

Maybe Aldo Bellotto and Sandro Ferraris, founders of Oro Trend in 1980, don’t would have imagined they would sold rings, bracelets and necklaces produced in Valenza in the most remote of the East boutiques. Maybe not. Instead it is exactly what happened: the quality of jewelry, combined with an all-Italian exuberance in the combinations of colors and the choice of volumes, has made the company a strong brand on the international market in a short time, also with the activity is performed for third parties, that is, to other jewelery companies.

So much so that three years ago the company moved into a larger building, always in the Piedmont town. And to say that the name chosen for the company, Oro Trend, is not particularly evocative of italian tradition and craftsmanship. But what matters is the result. The style of the collections follows the classic models, with some workhorse, like at a twisted gold wire jewelry. There aren’t oddities goldsmith, but the craftsmanship combined with an instinctive ability in approaching the stones.

Diamonds, an Amour with 77 faces

Anello L'Amour, con diamante Crisscut classic

A diamond with 77 facets: it’s called Crisscut and is mounted in the jewels of the L’Amour collection by Christopher Designs ♦

Love is true love only if it is excessive, right? It is something that involves, that drives us to do great things, to challenge rules and clichés. And, then, why a diamond donated for love should not be in tune with this pleasant madness? Christopher Slowinski must have thought in this way when he founded Christopher Designs, in 1981. Born in Poland, Slowinski has worked as a simple apprentice with master craftsmen even after moving to the United States, in New York. City.

Long story short: he invented Crisscut, a patented diamond cut that increases to 77 the little faces of the stones, instead of the traditional 48. This cut makes it even brighter and more brilliant diamond. The Crisscut was initially applied to the emerald cut, to increase their reflexes. But then Christopher has also extended the concept to other cuts such as the Asscher and cushion until you get to 109 facets in a round stone. But the brilliant Crisscut actually has straight walls 12 and 12 sides and this further increases the brightness. The diamonds have become the L’Amour collection. Which has no limits, of course.

In Los Angeles the eclectic Sarah Hendler designs and produces really original jewelries ♦ ︎

America’s jewels companies are virtually divided into two: on the one hand, New York, with its avant-garde designers or classic brands with decades of history behind, and Los Angeles and Hollywood, where jewelery brands are largely the first generation. Among them is Sarah Hendler, who climbed the high-end jewelery steps with two special sources of inspiration: the grandmothers. Her main collections are, in fact, called as her grandmothers, Shirley and Ethel. They, she say, have had a huge influence on the initial interest in jewels. Grandmothers of style, ahead of time, modern and, above all, able to teach love for beautiful and jewels.

A Victorian touch coupled with art deco geometry, plus that part of fantasy that is required to be original is at the base of Sarah Hendler’s style, which was born in Long Island, but moved to Los Angeles for love of cinema and theater. But not only: With a husband who owns restaurants, she dont hids to have invested energy in the catering industry, as well as in the gadgets, especially vintage ones. Now, however, he dedicates himself entirely to the jewels, with his first complete collections presented in the fall of 2016.

Since she set sail in the sea of jewelry, Annamaria Cammilli’s Velaa collection has landed in numerous variations.

The stones make up strips of pavé between the wavy layers of gold. In particular, a wide variety of rings is presented: for each color combination there are four variations in thickness, from six layers up to a single band of white gold, or yellow, black, champagne pink, beige. The different colors of gold are, in fact, one of the most appreciated characteristics of Annamaria Cammilli.

Margaret’s fairy tales

Published on December 14, 2021

Rings/Showroom

The jewels of Margaret, from Geneva a fairy tale for adults who are homesick when they were little ♦ ︎

Between the fairy tale and the rock: for many women life should be full of imagination and, at the same time, marked by the rhythm of music. And there is a Maison, in Geneva, which has embraced this philosophy. More that of luxury. It’s Margaret Jewelry, born ten years ago from the refined dreams of two childhood friends, Oriana Melamed Sabrier (who also worked for Cartier) and Candice Ophir (a graduate in marketing in New York).

Behind the book of dreams, with a bit of nostalgia for childhood, there is however a concrete house of jewels that, along with romance, show the best side of jewelry. And that is the inventiveness, but also the choice of exclusive streets: stones with special shades, the rediscovery of forms that have a taste of the past, such as the medallion that opens and hides the photographs of children, engaged couples (of whom you want) .

In short, like fishing in the sea of the past to throw a hook in the river that flows into the future. Because what matters to the two founders is to create luxury, refined jewels, but that also know how to tell an atmosphere, a story. As for the tiara-shaped rings, which are inspired by historical tiaras of royal families. This too looks like a fairy tale.

They are romantic jewels, free and for those who do not like collections that are found everywhere, in Shanghai as in New York. The idea of modernizing the classic jewels of the past translates, in fact, into pieces that have nothing dusty or museum. On the contrary, they reflect a classic balance. Naturally the jewels are produced in limited edition or on commission. The processing, carried out in Geneva, is also carried out scrupulously with traditional methods. Oriana Sabrier is the designer and personally selects the gems to be used, while Candice Ophir, director of the Maison, mainly follows the administrative and organizational aspects.

Brighter jewels with the Floeting Diamond

Published on December 13, 2021

news/Rings

Even an ancient and seemingly eternal technique can be innovated. The setting of a diamond on a ring seemed, until yesterday, something without too many possibilities to change. The most used technique is the one with the four or six prongs that hold the diamond still on the metal circular band: the classic solitaire. But from New Zealand comes a novelty: the Floeting Diamond. This is a new diamond setting system, which promises to increase the brightness of the stone and, at the same time, to make the jewel even safer, which would thus have less risk of making the stone come off. The inventor is called Ian Douglas and he is a jewelry master and former Auckland retailer.

With Floeting Diamond the stone is protected by a frame made with a special titanium alloy: a system that is over 20% stronger than traditional frames. Floeting diamonds come from one of the largest diamond cutting facilities in the world, certified by the Responsible Jewelery Council and using ethically sourced stones. The Floeting setting stops the diamond in the middle, between the top and the bottom, which ends in a point. Most of the gem, therefore, remains positioned above the setting. To keep the stone steady, laser-cut grooves are made in the diamond just below the girdle. The stone is then inserted into the frame.

This new way of stopping the diamond is mainly used to create solitaire rings, but also earrings or points of light. Since the stone is open on four sides, more light enters the diamond, increasing reflections. This type of setting can be used for oval, emerald, pear cut diamonds and also other precious stones. But don’t try to copy it: the system is patented.

From Bulgaria to the International Jewelery Market: Denitza Margova’s Trip ♦

From the far and little known town of Kardzhali, south of Bulgaria, to the international jewelery market. Denitza Margova’s journey was long. Yet, for one of the many cases of fate, coupled with its ability, she has managed to create a Maison with a brand that is now also marketed by luxurious sites such as Luisaviaroma. She was born in 1986, but decided to create her own brand in 2011 while writing his graduate thesis. Her interest was, in fact, already focused on design.

Denitza Mrgova graduated in fashion & design in Hamburg, but also had practical experience in New York and London alongside stylists like Abigail Lorick, Stella McCartney. All the experiences that enabled her, in 2014, to make serious debut on the jewelery market. Her style is elaborate and simple at the same time. Her book has 14-carat gold rings with small stones. But also jewelery in gold with sinuous shapes, with a soft and complex geometry. In short, she has cut its space simply thanks to its creativity. It is not easy to happen, but it has happened.

Anello Madrepora. Si trova al Museo degli argenti

The new jewels by the Florence goldsmith Alessandro Dari, awarded at the Milan Jewelery Week ♦

Jeweler or sculptor? Artist or a goldsmith? Innovator or traditionalist? All these definitions are valid for Alessandro Dari. He describes himself as Fiorentino Master of Arts Goldsmith and Sculptor. In fact, her jewels look like fragments of cathedrals, little Romanesque reliefs, treasures unearthed in an ancient palace of the Renaissance. Where, actually operates: it is the Palazzo Nasi-Quaratesi, in Florence, where he has his atelier and message boards that enclose his collection. And where he also organized a goldsmith school.

Some works of Dari are exposed to the Silver Museum of Pitti Palace and the Museum of the Cathedral of Fiesole. His lab has received, in 2001, the title of Museum Store by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage in Rome. Wear her jewelry means to bring him a story, because his small sculptures, or architectures that make up the most elaborate pieces convey the idea of something that is to be told, enclosed within the few centimeters of metal and stones. A job that, we can say, you can hardly find in other countries outside Italy.

The jewelery pieces signed by La Fleur Jewels. Made in Bangkog, it’s hard to guess it, but… ♦ ︎
To say that La Fleur Jewels does not exist is probably wrong. But try searching this company online: you will waste time. Behind La Fleur Jewels, headquartered in Bangkoh, there is one of the many jewelery manufacturers on behalf of many of the great European and American Maison that designs at home and then make the most complex, delicate parts in Thailand. Then microscopic parts of jewels that are assembled at home and thus acquire the right to be classified as Made in … After this premise, it is enough to observe the work with the mystery setting technique, that is, with the setting without griffes of small stones next to each other, to understand that the La Fleur brand is well-versed in this type of workmanship. And, learned the style, the company decided to produce precious jewels with this French-flavored brand.

They are pieces of high jewelery: if instead of the La Fleur brand they had that of some other jewelry brand, nobody would have anything to complain about. And, apart from technique, the design of pins, pendants and rings reminds that of other jewels with other brands. But whoever goes to the substance, and here there is a lot, maybe it will not matter to all this.

From Australia to the United States: exceptional pearls and opals are the work tools of Margot McKinney ♦ ︎

In Australia it is an authority and not just as a jeweler. Margot McKinney has also a certain political influence: she supports the liberals and gave the former Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop, a pair of earrings that caused a sensation. But apart from that, Margot is also a woman who represents the fourth generation of jewelers. And from Australia she has quickly embarked on the road to the United States: its jewels are distributed by Neiman Marcus and a network of independent boutiques throughout the country.

To make Margot McKinney so popular is her ability to select stones and to combine them often with pearls.

In fact, Australia is a country where high quality colored stones are found and it is also a region where a large part of cultured pearls comes from. Among the stones, of course, a place of honor is occupied by opals, among the most beautiful stones in the land of kangaroos. And the combination with the South Sea pearls, among the most beautiful in the world, is often a winner. In the true sense of the word: a collection of jewels with South Sea pearls and precious and colorful gemstones has been awarded with the Prix de Marie Claire for the best Australian jewel in March 2011 and the Haute Joaillerie prize at the biennial International Opal Jewelery Awards in 2009.

Jewelery for men is on the rise and recently many great Maisons have noticed it. But there are those who understood this before others, like Zancan. The Italian company specializes in bracelets and necklaces for a male audience, with growing success. Vigorous chains, locks in the shape of pitblulls, plus size rings: the jewels dedicated to a type of “Marlboro man”, virile, sporty, probably alpha. The jewels are in silver, in some cases with the addition of stones such as diamonds and black spinels, or white sapphires.

A choice that began in 2001, when the founder Robertino Zancan decided to employ the ability to work in the company’s jewelry in a sector, accessories for men, which was still uncrowded at the time. Zancan, who is based in the goldsmith district of Vicenza, therefore tried to interpret the male jewel for that group of men who do not disdain to wear a bracelet, a necklace and a ring. While cufflinks appear in the catalog, there are currently no earrings, which are probably not considered part of that traditional male world to which the company is aimed.

Rings/COLLANE

Labradorite, aquamarine, cubic zirconia on 18k gold plated silver jewelry. A palette that was used by Pdpaola to compose the Atelier collection which, as per the premise, uses metal to host the color shades of the stones used. The reference to the place where the creativity of a painter is expressed, but also the design of clothes or fashion accessories, also allows to expand the collection beyond the classic repertoire of rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets. The Spanish brand, in fact, also includes elements for piercing.

Also in this case, the small piercings are made of silver plated with the addition of colored stones, with blue, green or pink reflections. The choice signals the will of the brand founded in Barcelona by the brothers Paola and Humbert Sasplugas, to approach a young audience. Pdpaola was founded in 2014 in the Catalan city and in 2020 it generated a turnover of 24 million euros. But it has no intention of stopping: the company has ambitious expansion plans and currently has over 2,000 stores in a hundred countries and more than 70 employees.

The smoke of Bibi Van Der Velde

Anello in oro bianco con diamanti bianchi e grigi, opale

There is the smoke of a cigarette, there is that of a fire, there is that (imaginary) that clouds the brain. But try to grab the smoke. Impossible, at least with your hands. The Dutch designer Bibi van der Velde, on the other hand, has succeeded. But to grab the smoke she had to turn it into jewels. Smoke is the name of the new collection of one of the most imaginative creators of jewelry. It goes without saying that the jewels are a poetic transposition of the swirls of smoke.

Anello in oro bianco18 carati con spinello nero

The collection’s choker, for example, is designed as a line of smoke that curls elegantly around the neck. It is proposed in two versions: one in simple 18-karat gold and one with diamonds, sapphires and spinels set, or in pure 18-karat white gold and is intertwined with gray stones, composed of white and gray diamonds, white sapphires and gray spinels, for capturing the movement of a plume of smoke. The collection stems from Bibi van der Velde’s explorations of the forms of smoke in sculpture, translated into jewels. An exploration that the designer summarizes in this exchange Oscar Wilde: Do you mind if I smoke? Sarah Bernhardt: I don’t care if you burn.
