The scientific luxury of Tariq Riaz

Published on November 30, 2021

Rings/Showroom

From information systems manager and cybertech solutions to successful, award-winning jeweler. It is the unusual story of Tariq Riaz, a designer and jeweler based in Abu Dhabi. «I am a free man. I love what I do and I do what I love ”, he summarizes. It certainly represents an exception. Riaz says that the turning point in his life came in 2014, when he was unable to find a ring that his pregnant wife could wear during and after pregnancy, that is, in two different sizes. He then decided to apply his engineering skills to jewelry. In short, more than a passion for luxury, it was technical curiosity that pushed Tariq Riaz.

But then he followed the Gia courses, went to Belgium, Germany, Afghanistan and Pakistan to learn goldsmith techniques and to buy precious stones. The first collection, consisting of 21 pieces in pavé on platinum, took three and a half years of work. And the work between precious metals and gems gave birth to the new passion for jewelry. In 2020 he entered the first jewelry prize competition with the American Gem Traders Association Spectrum Awards. He immediately won two awards. And his fame took off.

Inside him, however, the passion for science has not disappeared. For example, he recounts the fascination of the properties of reflection and refraction of light and the fundamental property of matter and elementary particles of quantum physics, which appear both as a wave and as a particle based on the presence or absence of an observer. From these reflections the Abrazo was born, a word that means embrace in Spanish and indicates a technique that allows the rings to adapt to the wearer’s fingers.

Two designers for Tenthousandthings

Published on November 29, 2021

Rings/Showroom

Tenthousandthings, many things together. Or, rather, many jewels created by a pair of designers Ron Anderson and David Rees, who unlike many of their colleagues are self-taught and have experience in fashion retailing behind them. Putting the clothes aside, they created Tenthousandthings and opened a workshop in central New York City, in Greenwich Village, to create anchors, bracelets, necklaces and earrings in silver and gold, along with semi-precious stones and natural pearls. The inspiration is largely directed to the natural world.

They also opened a stone carving workshop in Jaipur (India) where the two designers work with local artisans and create their shapes, some new, others traditional, completely by hand. The processing of the jewels, on the other hand, takes place in the New York laboratory, in the back of the store. The style of the jewelry is modern and traditional at the same time, with rings that often adopt cabochon-set stones, especially opals.

Japanese design, sculpture and Milanese avant-garde: it is the mix at the base of Natsuko Toyofuku ︎jewelry ♦

The simple and ingenious design of Japan inspired by a sculptor’s soul. Natsuko Toyofuku, known as Natsu, is a jewelry designer who lives and works in Milan, with a showroom workshop in one of the nightlife streets, Corso Como. Born in Japan, she has lived in Italy since she was a child. Her father, Tomomori Toyofuku, was a great sculptor active in the sixties and seventies, a bridge between the Japanese tradition and the western avant-garde. And the mother, Kazuko, was a painter.

With this imprinting, Natsuko has developed her creativity in jewelry. She use silver and bronze, with the addition of pearls, a classic element of Japanese jewelry, along with enamel, natural stones. But above all, her jewels are distinguished by their unusual shape, sculptor to wear and which does not go unnoticed.

The strong, geometric and unusual lines of Kova’s jewels, inspired by the artistic current of Russian Suprematism ♦

Inspired by the Russian artist Kazimir Malevich: Katie Kova is a young designer from Moscow who lives in London and offers jewelry with strong and clean lines that seem to be inspired by the current artist called Suprematism. Those of Kova are jewels with geometric structures that seem to come from the drawings of abstractionists, but also from rationalist architectures, with black pavé diamonds on blackened gold, triangles and squares that intersect, curves that surprise: the Russian designer is only 32 years old, but she is talented and can express movement with a few strokes of metal.

“Jewelry used to be an investment,” explains Katie Kova. “Now it is an accessory to wear. The sector is going through a transformation: there are not only the big jewelry houses, there are also independent brands”. The designer says she wants to create jewelry for young, international and informed women. Her Collection 1 debuted in 2015 with eight pieces in Paris during summer fashion week, since then others followed.

The small masterpieces by Scala Gioielli, goldsmith’s virtuosity in Marcianise ♦ ︎

Italy is the country with an advanced economy that has the highest percentages of family businesses. This is also true in jewelery and is also why small exceptional handicrafts abound, while lacking (with few exceptions) large specimens such as the French Maisons. An example is Scala Gioielli, a company based in the Orafi Center in Marcianise, Caserta. Born in 1980 in Naples on the initiative of Eduardo Scala, is managed by the founder of the company, by his wife Caterina, and by her children Luca, Daniele and Alessandro. Almost 40 years have passed, but the company continues to hold the flag of quality craftsmanship high.

As you can expect from a brand that works in the Naples area, Scala Gioielli excels in the art of coral processing. Bracelets, elaborate necklaces, pendants that are small sculptures are part of the catalog of the Maison. But not only: Scala Gioielli knows how to produce pieces of surprising goldsmith virtuosity. For example, the 18-carat white gold-plated brooch with diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and rubies, with the central body of the bird-brooch made of a Brazilian aquamarine. Or in the Moro Venetian brooch, in yellow gold and 18k white gold, with ebony bust surrounded by brilliant cut diamonds, emeralds and colored sapphires. A small masterpiece.

The jewels of Kirat Young, former muse of Yves Saint Laurent who became designer ♦

Few have a history similar to that of Kirat Young. Born in India, New Delhi, she became the top model in Paris, Yves Saint Laurent’s muse, one of the favorites of stylist (the designer kept a photo of Kirat in his room). They were the seventies. Then, friendship with Oscar de la Renta arrived. Leaving the catwalk Kirat has turned to another type of luxury, that of jewelery. From his side is the knowledge of the glamorous world of fashion, but also the artistic tradition of his country of origin. The result is a kind of jewelery that reveals both of the souls of Kirat Young. Annette de la Renta, Oscar’s wife, was her first client. By word of mouth, Kirat Young has begun to draw and produce jewels. He designed cufflinks for Valentino, earrings for Tory Burch, which the designer wore for a service on Town & Country.

Jewelery is made in Thailand, as the designer’s main house is in Bangkok. But jewelery is sold in the boutiques of Oscar de la Renta, Switzerland, Gstaad and St. Moritz, and in Los Angeles. The style of jewelery signed by Kirat Young is varied. He used a lot of South Sea pearls when he was married to an Australian. It now composes its jewels mainly with precious and colored stones, silver, vermeil, gold.

The spring of Bettina T’s design

Published on November 22, 2021

Argento/Showroom/Rings

There is a type of jewelry that does not look to the past, but futuristically to the society of the present. This is the story of Bettina T, a brand created by the designer Cinzia Caviglia. The fact that the designer’s ideas were born in Rome, one of the cities with the most history behind it, makes Cinzia Caviglia’s choice to use shapes inspired by common objects, such as the springs used to hang the laundry to dry, even more unusual. Springs are not the only element that is extrapolated from its context to become a jewel. In fact, the Industrial collection also includes other jewels that find their origin, as far as design is concerned, in another area. The jewels are made of silver or gold, in some cases with the addition of small diamonds.

Perhaps this vocation for aesthetic contamination derives from the training of Cinzia Caviglia, who started as a graphic designer, who adds in her bio the inclination to blend apparently distinct subjects, from design to photography, from glass craftsmanship to illustration and to 3D creations. The transmigration into the world of jewelry is due, however, to her work with her mother Bettina in the family jewelry, which she then continued, with the addition of new ideas.

Each identity is made up of many facets, like diamonds. And Tomasz Donocik, award-winning designer of Polish origin, but with a residence and workshop in London, is no exception. He became famous with super modern jewelry collections, with futuristic shapes, with many acute angles and a spatial design. But then he launched the Lily Pad collection, which he describes as an ode to old forgotten English gardens and ponds. The heart of the collection is the Lily Pad ring in rubellite, an unusual solitaire in the shape of a graceful enchanted flower, which the artist-jeweler associates with the fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast.

Born in Poland and raised in Austria, Tomasz Donocik founded his eponymous brand in 2008. Before launching his business he graduated from Central Saint Martins in London, followed by a master’s degree in goldsmithing, silverware and jewelery making at the Royal College of Art in the British capital. Immersed in this culturally rich environment, in his bio he emphasizes that he has developed a permanent passion for art, cinema and literature, sources of inspiration. Of which, one might add, also fairy tales are part.

Orecchino Palloncino con pavé di diamanti neri

Although the smartphone has become the favorite game of children, the old balloon that floats in the air tied to a thread is still (fortunately) something that attracts those who have not yet learned the gestures on the screen of an iPhone or the like. This resilience is also testified by Vhernier, that has been offering Palloncino (balloon) as a collection for many years now. Unlike the aerostatic balloon, however, the jewels of the Balloon collection are appreciated by a more adult age

In any case, the design of the Maison’s jewels is particularly appreciated, so much so that periodically Vhernier proposes it always new variants. This year, for example, a diamond pavé version arrives. The new jewelry includes ring and earrings, both available in white or black diamond pavé on white gold. Furthermore, the Palloncino ring has an ergonomic shape that allows you to wear two rings on the same finger, in opposite directions. The earring, sold individually, can be combined with a model made with diamonds of the same color but is also suitable for creating the black and white couple.

Gioielli has expanded its catalog to become truly vast, which includes numerous variations of the tennis style.

The latest Segni (signs) by Salvini. Because life is made up of actions, but first of all by signs. From the time the clock indicates when your sleep is interrupted in the morning, to every letter of the alphabet, and even what we listen to on the radio or watch on Instagram: a sign, in fact, is anything that communicates a meaning, but which is not the sign itself. The meaning can be intentional, like a spoken word with a specific meaning, but also unintentional, like a symptom, which is a sign of a particular medical condition. Signs can communicate through any sense, visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, or gustatory. And, here we come to the point, they can also communicate feelings.

A jewel, in effect, “speaks” to others indicating the body of the wearer, but also a social status, or an emotional bond. The Segni collection by Salvini (brand of the Damiani group), is proposed again two years after its launch with new jewels that have the shape of symbols such as the star, the moon and the heart. The jewels are in yellow, pink and white gold with small diamonds set. Ready to turn into signs of affection.

The difficult things are the ones with the most charm. It is the same for love stories, and it is the same for jewels. Like for Masi, a jewelery company from Valenza (Italy) that boasts the ability to propose an elaborate design together with ease of use. The Nivola collection, in fact, is based not only on a particularly elaborate design, but also on a patent that allows jewels, in particular bracelets, to be flexible and to adapt to the shape that pleases the wearer. The Mamba model of the Nivola collection, for example, is the result of almost a year of experimentation conducted by the team of designers, goldsmiths and engineers, who have created a system of total elasticity.

Anello flessibile Mamba in oro rosa e diamanti

The bracelet extends both vertically and horizontally thanks to a specially shaped titanium core, which allows it to adapt to any wrist. The same technique is used for the rings, which are thus adaptable to most finger sizes. The company was founded in 1957 by the brothers Umberto and Andrea Masi. Since 1988 the laboratory has been transformed into Masi Gioielli, which has combined its own collections with work on behalf of third parties.
