Millebolle with Minù

Millebolle and doreMinù: new collections of prêt-à-porter jewels from the Maison Giovanni Ferraris ♦ ︎
Like other first-level companies, Giovanni Ferraris has cultivated two souls: that of great jewels, often unique pieces, with a special taste for experimentation. And a line of jewelry to wear every day to go to the office or go shopping: beautiful, but easy. They are the jewels of the Minù line, which always originate from the design of Giovanni Ferraris, but are destined for a simpler life. This is not why Minù brand jewels are to be underestimated. But, of course, prêt-à-porter is another thing. Even in price, which is much more accessible than jewelry with receipts with many zeros. Among the novelties of recent months, in gold 9 and 18 carats, pearls, small stones like black spinel, pyrite, peridot, amethyst and a lightness of soul even before that specific weight, there are collections such as Millebolle or doreMinù, which keep faith in their regard to be pleasant additives to expand the daily choice of jewelry to wear.

Ole Lynggaard for springtime

Published on April 2, 2018

Rings/bracciale/COLLANE

The Blooming, the spring collection signed by the Danish Ole Lynggaard ♦ ︎
Among the boast of Copenhagen there is also a magnificent tradition in jewelry. And in the tradition of jewelry Ole Lynggaard is one of the brands with greater story, ability and refinement. And it’s also a big family. That’s why: the Maison was founded in 1963 by designer and jeweler Ole Lynggaard, who brought his experiences from the world: he studied e traveled in Germany, Germany, Paris, New York, San Francisco, Japan. Back in Denmark, he bought a small workshop. The activity continued with her daughter, Charlotte Lynggaard, also a goldsmith and designer like her father: she joined the company in 1987. Subsequently she was joined by Søren Lynggaard, also son of Ole Lynggaard, who is now leading the brand. It’s not enough: Charlotte Lynggaard’s husband, Michel Normann, has also become top-level manager, while Hanna Lynggaard, wife of Søren Lynggaard, has been part of the company’s sales team since 2008. But there are not only Lynggaards : the jewelry company has over one hundred employees.
Given this, here is the Blooming Collection, dedicated to spring. It has a design that the brand defines between Art Nouveau and Art Deco, perhaps with a preponderance of the floral style, which in fact gives the name to the collection. The Blooming collection includes rings and bracelets open in the form of stems of plants and flowers, in 18-carat gold, with aquamarine buds, red coral and sparkling diamond pavé. It was designed personally by Charlotte Lynggaard. Lavinia Andorno

Millefoglie for de Grisogono

Bracciale della collezione Millefoglie in oro rosa e diamanti

The Millefoglie collection by de Grisogono: rings, bracelets and earrings in white or pink gold with diamonds ♦ ︎
If you are in Italy and ask for a millefeuille they give you a slice of cake with puff pastry and cream. But if you go to Switzerland, in Geneva, in the flagship store of de Grisogono, you will be more fortunate: they will bring you the jewels of the Millefoglie collection. It gives a sweet feeling, but it is sugar-free, don’t put you weight, and it certainly makes your appearance look better than what comes with a cake-based diet. The Millefoglie collection by de Grisogono is made up of jewels created by juxtaposing pink or white gold plates, to which are added brilliant cut diamonds, even of a certain carat and sometimes irregularly set. The layers of gold are parallel but at the same time undulating. This oscillatory pattern of the design creates a movement that increases the charm of the jewel and makes it more interesting. Furthermore, it makes the pieces wearable despite their grandeur. The collection consists of a pair of earrings, a ring and a double-loop bracelet, which literally wraps around the wrist with its irregular waves.

Salvini shines with Sunny

Rings/COLLANE

Anello in oro bianco con diamanti di Salvini

Sunbeams with gold from Salvini’s new Sunny collection, images and prices ♦ ︎
Hold on tight: Salvini changes. Or, better, it does not change its style, but introduces a new line that has the ambition to last over time. To propose, in short, one of those jewels that in five or ten years will still have a fragrance of novelty. And it’s the Sunny line which renews the classic image of the Italian brand, very tied to white gold and diamonds, to the shape of the solitaire or the light point.
So here is Sunny. As the name indicates, the idea is that of brightness, but in a warm key, thanks to the gold in the three colors yellow, white or pink, the colors of the sun in the three phases of the day. The collection is played around the shape of the band, which comes in ring, earrings or pendant adjustable with up and down mechanism, but surrounded by a soft, wavy shape that surrounds the two sides of the jewel. And there is not only gold, but in some versions of the collection, there are diamonds in full pavé. In addition, a light should be lit on a particular of this collection: shot peening at the center of the gold band. The good designer of Salvini has thought of this innovative solution, which is not a sanding or even a satin finish. The processing consists, instead, in hammering a shiny part of gold with micro-spheres. In this way you get something that looks like satin finish, but has a more sparkling appearance. It is a particularity that must be emphasized. Prices: a gold ring starts at 950 euros, to go up to 2900 euros for the one with full pavé diamonds.

The mosaic of Sutra

Published on March 28, 2018

The Mosaic collection by Sutra: small stones compositions in blue or red shades ♦ ︎
A sentence is, after all, a mosaic of words. And Sutra is a Sanskrit word, the ancient language of India, which means “collection of sacred verses”, then a treasure translated into a composition of words. A concept as from the Mosaic collection by Sutra: the Indian Maison, based in Mumbai and Austin, Texas, offers jewelry that always has stones of great charm at its center. In the Mosaic collection, for example, can be opals the individual elements that make up a jewel. The collection plays on two shades: blue and red. As in the bracelet with 75 karats of opals, 7 karats of sapphires and 6 carats of diamonds mounted on 18-carat white gold. But not only: the earrings, for example, have a mosaic made of turquoise, emeralds and diamonds, always on white gold, as well as a bracelet. In the red-toned version, however, the jewels are composed of sapphires, coral and ruby, or white gold diamonds and rubies. Alessia Mongrando

Express ring with Recarlo

Published on March 28, 2018

Rings/Showroom

With the renewed Anniversary collection, Recarlo invents the express ring, made to measure in 24 hours ♦ ︎
Among the many innovations of Recarlo for the spring of 2018 there is one that is probably very welcome for those who want (or must) give the classic ring for declaration, anniversary or engagement. One of the choices offered by Recarlo, which in this sector of jewelry is an authority, is the Anniversary collection. It is a ring that on the whole white gold band has a row of diamonds stopped by four small griffe. Not only that: on the side of the metal band there are small hearts, to underline the sentimental destination of the jewel.
But the real news is another: Recarlo, thanks to a Habsburg organization of its production, offers customers the opportunity to choose a veretta in the carat and the desired size and take it home or get it at the latest within 24 hours. The rings, in fact, are not all the same: they vary not only the size, but also the carats (ie weight) of the stones, the diamonds, which make up the jewel. If, therefore, the ring with the desired carat (and the consequent price) or the measure, which goes from 8 to 18, is not immediately available, you can choose and then spend the next day to collect the jewel.
Yes, but how much do the rings of the Anniversary collection cost? Here are some examples of prices: with diamonds for 1 carat 2400 euros, from 1.60 carats 3740 euros, from 2.05 carats 5050 euros. A richer ring with 4.40 carats costs euros 15,250.

Giovanni Ferraris, color virtuosity

Published on March 25, 2018

Rings/Showroom

Anello farfalla della collezione Titanium

Giovanni Ferraris illuminates with the color three new collections presented at Baselworld ♦ ︎
Among the pleasant novelties of Baselworld 2018 there are also those of one of the best Italian jewelry houses, Giovanni Ferraris. Emblem of ability and taste that has its cradle in Valenza, Giovanni Ferraris is among those creators of beauty able to combine the proportions of jewelry with color. And also for the occasion the designer Katia Ferraris has given proof of the creative ability together with the skill of the Maison’s artisans. That to create the presented jewels have been put under pressure: the collections, they explain in the company, have been completed just in time for the inauguration of Baselworld.
In harmony with spring, jewels are inspired, for example, by the shadows and lights of a garden. They are Contrasti (contrasts), a word that gives the name to a collection, which have the advantage of making the nuance of the new season pleasant. Contrasts play on the antagonism of light and dark: in the rings the wide pavé with black diamonds or with the dark blue sapphires made with rivière of yellow diamonds. The same stylistic factor is then taken up in the earrings with a geometric shape.

But it’s not the only surprise of the Maison. Another proof of the goldsmith virtuosity of Giovanni Ferraris is the Armonie collection: it includes rings with a rounded shape, followed by trails in gold and diamonds, on which are set with studied irregularities sapphires, rubies, emeralds in various cuts. Like dew drops, they say to the Maison.
And another novelty is dedicated to nature: the Bella collection. In name and in fact. It is composed of the classic palette of precious stones: sapphires, rubies and emeralds and, therefore, blue, red and green. The colored stones are used with a variety of cuts, drops that form long spikes or small ovals scattered like wildflowers, alternating with diamonds on a drop-shaped setting in burnished gold.

Spring and dreams
Other colors, other suggestions: in the Fragranze collection there are rings with smaller dimensions (“as if they were many spring buds”), entirely covered with fancy rose cut diamonds with different shades: black, blue, yellow, brown, white. The design is more classic: round shapes with cabochon or more contemporary and squared. There is also a version called “more flirtatious”, with a gold monogram applied on the pavé.
The spring of Giovanni Ferraris, however, is not limited to bloom: fly. At least ideally. The lightness that allows a butterfly to soar in the air is also offered by the creation of unique pieces in titanium. The metal, light and resistant, but also difficult to work, gives its name to the Titanium collection. Titanium, among its qualities, also has that of lending itself to new colors, which in this case are coordinated with pavé stones, colored diamonds and sapphires.
Finally, the fading of the day of a middle season inspired the Velvet collection. It is composed of rings with a soft gold mesh on which rest sapphires, rubies and emeralds and a rigid loop with diamonds. The collection is completed by necklaces with a soft and long tassel.

Mattioli, anello della collezione Candy con pavé di diamanti bianchi

The Candy collection by Mattioli: rings, necklaces and earrings with small cabochons on pavé diamonds ♦ ︎
From painters to sweets. Licia Mattioli’s passion is not only for great art, to which she has dedicated numerous collections in the past years. Now also ticks for sweets, which are transformed into jewelry and, in particular, in rings, necklaces and chandelier earrings. The new collection of the Maison of Turin is called, in fact, Candy.
Candies more for the liveliness of the appearance than for the shape, which has the well-defined style of the brand. The rings recall, in fact, those of the Reve_r collection, but this time with the stones arranged in a traditional way, like small cabochons to punctuate the surface of the jewel. In short, no longer the sharp back, the so-called culet of the stone, but the upper part, rounded and soft. There are nine pieces in all, with pavé of white or black diamonds and stones such as amethyst, blue topaz, sea water, peridot. They are lively, tuned to the beautiful season. But, beware: do not eat them. Lavinia Andorno

The Perfetta collection by Morellato, perfect for spring and summer. Images and price ♦ ︎
Since it is Perfetta, Morellato’s spring-summer collection could soon be imitated by many. Who knows. The jewels from the affordable price of the Venetian company have white mother-of-pearl mounted on circles of different sizes in 925 silver. The Perfetta collection consists of pendants, earrings, necklaces, rings and cuff bracelets. The earrings are both in the lobe version finished with zircons, and in the double-round version. There are two proposals for necklaces: a pendant with a chain over long combined and the one with a smaller pendant, with zircons. Both chains are adjustable sliding to define the length quickly. Prices: necklace with mother of pearl 79 euros, bracelet 79 euros, earrings 69 euros, ring 49 euros. In addition to the mother of pearl in the collection are also used coral and turquoise, that is red orange and deep blue: colors usually preferred or, better, perfect for the summer. Just as the collection seems to indicate. Lavinia Andorno

Van Cleef & Arpels bloom again

Published on March 21, 2018

Showroom

Van Cleef & Arpels re-launches and renews the Frivole collection, flowers in white or yellow gold with diamonds ♦

Frivolity is a serious matter, especially in spring. So Van Cleef & Arpels, 14 years and 91 days after the debut, and a year after reviving it, renews the Frivole collection with nine new pieces. Compared to the collection presented in 2017 some are even smaller. The novelty is centered on the association of three miniature flowers.

Not only that: Van Cleef & Arpels also introduces transformable jewelry. In this case the jewels can be used as brooches or pendants. The generous size of this brooch-pendant highlights the work of mirror polishing of the petals and allows to receive, in the center of a fully blossomed flower, three diamonds. Among other things, jewels benefit from the mise à jour technique, that is, the drilling of the gold surface, made to allow light to pass through the diamonds. In this way the stones shine more.

The gold flowers have three heart-shaped petals, with diamonds that can cover them like a dewy pavé, or substitute for the pistils, in the center, or to punctuate the petals, four stones for each one. The Frivole collection is serious also because it is designed to cover an equally wide range of possible customers. The smallest pieces, those that may please a very young girl, have a price that starts at € 2850, up to the ring with pavé diamonds that rises above € 20,000. The latter is a new entry in the collection, as well as the earrings in the mini version, the pendant (large) and the genus ring Entre les Doigts, a trademark registered by the Parisian Maison of the Richemont group.

Van Cleef & Arpels emphasizes that when we talk about diamonds, even if small, these are those selected based on criteria that are not frivolous: D, E or F for color and VVS for purity. Another aspect underlined is the manufacturing process that remains based on craftsmanship, with a search for movement of the petals which, according to the company, «is an integral part of the creative process of Van Cleef & Arpels. For the Frivole collection, the concept of the volumes and the orientation of the petals have been carefully worked out in order to make the random character of nature. Mirror polishing, a technique that the Maison has used since the 1920s, makes it possible to increase the brightness of gold and to create particularly intense reflections, infusing the vitality of each creation. The search for brilliance is also expressed through the mises à jour, this operation of drilling the gold structure made by the jeweler to allow light to cross the diamonds. Different jeweler techniques are thus combined with extreme attention to detail to enhance the Frivole creations».

On Noah’s Ark with Roberto Coin

Rings/bracciale

The Animalier world of Roberto Coin is extended: from the dog to the octopus, here are the new rings and bracelets ♦ ︎
The animal world has a special charm for children and nature lovers. And jewelers often have the soul of children who love nature: they excite theyselves and excite others with the discovery of things that we know well or very well. Like, in fact, the animal world. This is how the Animalier collections are born, like that of Roberto Coin, which grows year after year. In 2017, for example, the cock arrived in tune with the Chinese astrological sign. And in 2018, the year of the dog in Beijing and its surroundings, here is the bracelet with the pet pet by Roberto Coin.
But, to tell the truth, the animals that make up the private zoo of the Italian jeweler are not only linked to Chinese traditions. In fact, they are part of polyps, bulls, horses, rams and many other owners of legs, fins and stings. It is necessary to add that these are special jewels. Not only do they have a shape particularly attentive to the natural appearance of different animals, that is they are very realistic, but they are also made with precious and semi-precious stones on gold. The prices are accordingly: for example, an octopus ring of sapphires costs 21500 euros, the ring-shaped chameleon 25800 euros. Lavinia Andorno

Pianegonda, the fantasy is Scripta

Argento/bracciale

The futuristic jewels of the Scripta di Pianegonda collection, images and price ♦ ︎
A doodles, a flourish drawn with a pen, an extemporaneous skein: how to describe the Scripta collection by Pianegonda? Silver that shines with an unusual path, an abstract shape, without reference points. The brand that now belongs to Bros Manifatture offers a line of jewelry that, as the name indicates, seem to come out of a fantasy drawn on a sheet of paper. But also from a calligraphic ornament of some manuscript of the past.
As the Latin proverb says: verba volant, scripta manent, that is, words are lost in the air, written things last over time. And the jewels of the Scripta collection also have the peculiarity of being made from a single sheet of silver that is cut, shaped, assembled, welded and polished by hand. If they had a larger size these jewels could, in some models, be considered as sculptures. Instead they are worn and have an affordable price: from 64 euros of earrings to 98 euros for the ring up to 780 euros for the bracelet. Lavinia Andorno

Anello Alveare della collezione Shine. Prezzo: 149 euro

Pandora illuminates for spring with the Shine collection, with gold-plated jewels. Images and prices ♦ ︎
The sun’s rays are golden. And Pandora borrows the color of the star that illuminates the Earth to illuminate its new jewels. The Shine collection marks a leap in quality in the Danish brand’s proposal. In fact, it is a line of gold-plated silver jewelery. Bracelets, earrings and rings therefore show off a bright yellow color. But we must applaud the scrupulousness of Pandora in describing to her customers the technique used to make the jewelry, an important detail that usually companies tend to hide or fly.
Therefore, the jewels of the Shine collection are made on a silver base, covered with a layer of palladium, on which a galvanoplastic procedure is applied. Gold in powder, that is, is applied to silver with the use of electricity that pushes the two metals to adhere completely. This layer of gold, however, must be treated well. And Pandora is concerned with recommending how to treat gold-plated jewelry and what to watch out for. We talked also us about it here: How to clean a fragile jewel in two steps
Prices: from 59 euros for a simple ring of the Shine collection, up to 179 euros of the bracelet, always gold-plated, while a ring with zircons and lace work shape costs 149 euros.

Orecchini Long Bee, in oro, diaspro, citrino, perle

The capsule collection by Daniela Villegas dedicated to bees, metaphor of the female universe ♦ ︎
To be or not to be? The dilemma of Hamlet, played by Daniela Villegas, becomes: to bee or not to bee? The right answer is the second: the bee has successfully turned into a capsule collection, Sisterhood. The bees are buzzing and, after all, they are part of that miniature universe, that of insects, which is so exciting for the Mexican designer based in Los Angeles. Queen Bee includes bees wearing crowns to represent the theme of power, but also a sisterhood, because the bees are very supportive of each other. Not only that: the bees have, beyond their decorative effect, a primacy in productivity, in wisdom, in spirituality, humility, modesty, and so on.
The jewels of Daniela Villegas dedicated to the bees are in 18-carat yellow gold, in some cases with a drop of multicolored jasper, reminiscent of the classic yellow and black stripes that characterize the body of insects. To complete the jewels are South Sea pearls and citrines. The capsule collection has had a sudden success on Moda Operandi. But it is worth looking at it. Alessia Mongrando

Rosato’s Messages are renewed with new shapes and new stones ♦ ︎
Which message is better than silence? Perhaps the Rosato Messages collection could be defined in this way. Launched years ago (we talked about it here goo.gl/Dw1Gyo), the collection has recently been renewed by Bros Manifatture’s brand. Why silence? Simple: the name of the collection could move you to a mistake. In fact, it is not a question of jewels on which to write writings, phrases, verbs, names, dates. The message, instead, is the jewel itself. In particular, it is a series of bracelets and rings in silver that contain natural stones: agate, lapis lazuli, amethyst, rhodonite, amazonite, malachite, aventurine, carnelian, rose quartz, mother of pearl, and white zirconia (probably cubic zirconia). The message that surrounds, in short, is the very gesture of giving (or do a gift to yourself) the bijou. Also because the prices are ultra affordable: from 49 to 79 euros. Alessia Mongrando

Large ring white matt gold and diamonds pavé

Antonini under the volcano with the Etna collection: gold, rhodium silver and diamonds ♦ ︎
From Matera to Syracuse, from Syracuse to Etna, the volcano that overlooks Catania, in Sicily. Antonini is a historic Maison in Milan that, like many Italians (and others) in the North, loves Mediterranean atmospheres with strong colors. Naturally, given that Antonini is famous for its modern and often surprising design, the South is filtered through the lenses of the style that characterizes the brand’s collections.
In this case, the first aspect that you can be seen in front of the Etna collection are the surfaces of the jewels. Often concave, as in the rings, the surfaces are studded with small irregularities, so studied that they seem casual. It is an effect that simulates a stony ground, as in nature. But these little obstacles guard, in reality, tiny diamonds that increase the “sparkle” of the jewel. In some models the diamonds are transformed into a complete pavé on the whole surface. Rings, bracelets, earrings and colliers, reminiscent of the lava stones of Etna, Unesco heritage, are made of gold or black rhodium silver. Lavinia Andorno

An American fashion bijoux brand, Lili Claspe, designs for a bridal jewelry brand. Here is the result ♦ ︎
Lili Claspe x Ritani is a capsule collection of jewels. It also marks the debut of an American brand, Ritani, that specializes in diamond jewelery for engagement and marriage. It is a collection of fine jewelry, with prices ranging between 600 and 1300 dollars, in yellow gold and small diamonds. It has its own originality, thanks to the contribution of Stephanie Tchamanian, designer and founder of Lili Claspe, who is instead a fashion bijoux brand. In short, the idea is to offer valuable jewelry, but that meet the taste of a young audience. An operation that many other companies that produce traditional jewelry has tried or thinks to try.
The collection born from the marriage between Ritani and Lili Claspe is composed of 23 models in 14k yellow gold, with colorless diamonds. The fringes on some models, like the earrings, are just an element that can add a vaguely hippy freshness, while the rings or pendants with a long gold bar with diamonds, rather showy, underline the design element, in particular with the use of baguette-cut diamonds.

Bracciale e anello Amore 4 Chakra, oro bianco, diamanti, smeraldi

Love and chakra: the concept translates into a collection signed by Pasquale Bruni ♦ ︎
Fascinated by Indian traditions, culture and philosophy, designer Eugenia Bruni uses the metaphor of the number 4 chakra for the new collection, which is summarized in the word Love. The chakras, according to ancient Indian spirituality, represent the vital points, within the body, that are connected with an immaterial dimension.
The fourth chakra, in fact, is that of the heart. That is, that not only has an essential function for the life of the body, but it is also a bridge to the world of affectivity, at least on a symbolic level (“The heart is the chakra whose gem is love”, he says Eugenia Bruni). And here is the collection of Pasquale Bruni dedicated to love in an unequivocal way. The jewels, in fact, show the rounded shape of the heart or completely report the word Love. The jewels use rose quartz and emerald, placed at the center of each piece, while the frame in pink or white gold is embellished with white or champagne diamonds. By the way, the stones have a new cut, called by Pasquale Bruni “cut chakra of the heart”.
The Amore 4 Chakra collection includes band rings and rigid bracelets. Another new aspect for the Maison: the flex bracelet is born, with two white gold threads that can accommodate any message. Finally, to stay on the subject: with a 4°Chakra collier, Pasquale Bruni won last year at the Couture in Las Vegas. Lavinia Andorno

Anello della collezione Dress Me di Blue Spirit

Blue Spirit launches a collection of jewels with interchangeable stones: Dress Me ♦ ︎
Dress me. The idea of Blue Spirit follows the line of customizable jewelry. But take the concept to the extreme: in a few seconds a ring with red stone can change color among a dozen different colors.
The Dress Me du Blue Spirit collection will appeal to those who love to add a personal touch to their jewelry. The interchangeable stones are cubic zirconia, ie synthetic stones but indistinguishable to the naked eye from natural ones. They are brilliant cut stones proposed in a dozen colors, from ruby red to emerald green, to rose, both with bright and soft tones. The stones can be inserted into the supports of rings, bracelets and pendants in 925 silver in a very simple way and are surrounded by a crown of white cubic zirconia. In short, the jewel also becomes a game. And playing it is very cheap: a 925 argento silver ring with white zircons pavé costs only 45 euros, a bracelet 69 euros, a pendant 39 euros.

Bigli, this collection scratches

Bigli, anello in oro rosa, diamante e quarzo rutilato

The Chloé collection of the Belgian brand Bigli offers jewelry with scratched stones. To wear with ripped blue jeans? ♦
Think about it: if the blue jeans are torn, bruised, mistreated, why can not jewels also follow the same fate? And that is, to appear profoundly used? It is perhaps the reasoning that followed Laurence Aerens and Thierry Spitaels, mind and soul of a Belgian brand but with Italian sound: Bigli. Their latest Chloé collection, in fact, presents stones that have a surface full of scratches, scrupulously made.
The couple of designers in the profession and in life has created their brand of fine jewelry in 1998 and has always been tuned by the trends of the moment, with the aim of offering simple jewels, which can be worn with a sporty or elegant outfit for day or night. 18-karat gold, tiny diamonds and large colored semi-precious stones, such as smoky quartz, moonstone or agate. Prices are in line with the type of jewelry, for example, in a range between 1500 and 2500 euros for rings. With or without scratches. Lavinia Andorno
