The collection Isabella by Recarlo: diamond rings for engagement, wedding or anniversary, pendant and earrings ♦
Isabella marries Recarlo. But it’s not a young promise of marriage. Isabella is the name of the collection of the Valenza company which is dedicated, in particular, to wedding, engagement, anniversaries. In short, this is the classic gem with brilliant cut diamond solitaire or trilogy. The ring, in this case, has been revisited in the form: the stem is crossed by three tiny grooves in the vicinity of diamonds and a wave form that makes it seem soft metal. But the collection also includes earrings and necklace with pendant.
Another feature is the ability to choose from two different colors for the gold: white, pink, or together in combination. We mentioned trilogy. But, in reality, there is also a ring with five diamonds rivière in succession, for those who love to abound. The price obviously depends primarily on the number of gems on the jewel. In principle, prices ranging from € 1,400 for a ring with a single diamond, up to € 7,000 for one with five stones. Lavinia Andorno
The new fashion jewelry by Michael Kors for the passionate of the American designer ♦
For the fashion & jewelry series, here is the summer collection by Michael Kors and made by Fossil. The concept is always the same one used for the previous collections: steel coated with rose gold color, white or yellow, with small crystals which in this case are transformed into a pattern of studs. Resin beads are input into necklaces or at the end of long gold earrings. We are, of course, in fashion jewelry, not in high jewelry. But for many passionate of American fashion designer can be an opportunity to renew the jewelry without the risk of having to ask for a bank loan. The necklace costs about 120 euro, while falls below 100 euro for earrings and rings. Giulia Netrese

There are many new jewelry and lodged among VicenzaOro and Baselworld: collections that retain their own style of the Maison, with pink gold and diamonds to punctuate the round lines of jewelry. One of the newcomers is the D-Band collection, which is a dip in the eighties, with the shape of wide bracelet to cover the entire wrist. The bracelets, or rings, are therefore constituted by a metal band, but broken by a form that resembles a comma, on which are embedded two rows of diamonds.
A style that also goes to DD Line collection, always centered on the visual waves triggered by the double curved metal or triple, again dotted with diamonds. The shape reminds the sign of infinity, but in three dimensions. Giulia Netrese

The Flowers line with chocker rings signed by Bluespirit. Pictures and prices ♦
Flowers and spring: what other combination may be more appropriate? The flowers, on the other hand, are one of the most used models for jewelry. The flowers of Bluespirit collection, brand of Morellato Group, however, are more flowers than others. Because the line of jewelry that is called, precisely, Flowers, faithfully reproduce petals, stem and leaves, using enamel and zirconia white or colored crystals. They are not the kind of jewels that you close in the safe: they cost from a minimum of 43 to a maximum of 59 euro. The Flowers line is minimal: it is composed also by only three models: ring, earrings and chocker. The effect is quite natural, with a color stain does not go unnoticed. G.N.

Damiani makes flourish Margherita
The Margherita collection by Damiani: history of flowers and a queen ♦
Peel off the petals of these daisies (you say margherite in italian language) would be a shame. Not only for the cost of such an operation, but also because it would ruin a job well done jewelery. Damiani, however, launched the Margherita collection, which is shaped like a daisy, thinking of another Margherita.
Read also A Crown for Damiani
To be precise, in honor of Queen of Italy Margherita di Savoia, wife of Umberto I. A very popular woman in the early twentieth century: she was social before there were social networks. And it is a compliment to remember that the Margherita pizza is named in her honor. She was also much appreciated by Enrico Grassi Damiani, who in his time has dedicated to her a jewel. The history of the House of Valenza records that the daisy, understood as a flower, then reappeared in the seventies through the work of Damiano Damiani, son of Enrico, maybe inspired by the hippie culture with Bloom collection. The new collection Margherita, however, combines the two references, one of the queen and that of the flower, and starts from the sketches signed by the founder: rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces of the collection are made of gold, with precious and semiprecious stones, bezels and refined design details. But you don’t hope to have a whole bouquet.

Serpent, but transparent, by Boucheron
New pieces for Serpent Bohème Collection by Boucheron, extension of the classic Serpent line ♦
The collections that are successful are renewed. But keep a line of jewelry created in 1888 is really a record. Yet it is what he does Boucheron: the Parisian Maison proposes a new version of its endless Serpent collection. It all started when Frédéric Boucheron, founder of the French jewelry, gave to his wife Gabrielle a necklace with a snake, animal considered auspicious and protective, before a trip abroad. It has since become a symbol of Boucheron, proposed in different ways.
Recently there was added a pink version in gold and diamonds. In May 2017, the Maison adds new pieces of the Bohème Collection, born 50 years ago as extention of Serpent. Now it includes 96 different pieces and is updated with new creations: rings paved with stones, double-headed rings and bangles, long necklaces, but also watches. The collection is renewed especially through the use of transparent colored gemstones. For diamond jewelry alongside pieces in amethyst, citrine, onyx, mother of pearl and lapis lazuli. And where’s the snake? In this collection with the teardrop shape it is represented the head of the precious reptile. Lavinia Andorno
Joyfully Angry
Salvatore Angri is not a man particularly angry, though he founded a jewelery brand that is called Angry Jewellery. In VicenzaOro the piedmont company is reported for its production of high quality. How the set Madame Butterfly, made in 18 carat gold, white diamond, blacks and brown, ruby, sapphire blue and pink. This suite of colors form precious shades on butterfly wings: the set has a total of about 60 carats. The nature, together with the work of Giacomo Puccini, helped inspire the creativity of the fake angry designer dramatically. The same creative verve that is known to the ring Van Gogh, depicting a sunflower: a favorite subject by the Flemish master transplanted in Provence. The ring is made of 18K gold, diamond green and yellow, yellow sapphires. The total is about 8 carats. It is a gem of exquisite workmanship. The same type of construction has been dedicated to the rings depicting bears or birds: in this case the colored or white pavé diamonds are accompanied by a sculptural technique really refined. One note to Angry, but not about its jewelry: the website is really pestilential, given the inefficient use of the Silverlight software. Change it, please, or angry will be your fans.

Tous at Baselworld with Bonjour Señorita
Tous was back in Baselworld and greets with the new spring-summer collection: Bonjour Señorita ♦
Tous returns to Baselworld (it’s the third time) with His New spring-summer collection 2017. For the occasion the Barcelona brand specializing in affordable «luxury approachable» (it has more than 500 outlets around the world, in over 50 countries) presents Bonjour Señorita, “a story of hope and passion that invites us to explore and reflect on our experiences in order to ultimately find ourselves”.

Piaget, the colors of Possession
Piaget renews the classic Possession collection with colored stones.
What is it like to possess the possession? Simple, you enter the ranks of possessor and you are possessed by the satisfaction if your purchase is related to a jewel, possibly high quality. Was it on this thread that led Piaget to baptize as Possession one of its most popular lines of fine jewelry? Maybe. But who wants to possess or be possessed by the thrill of the jewel signed by the Swiss Maison now has two more chances. The first is the sales channel, because Piaget has opened the possibility of buying jewelry online, via Net-a-Porter, which is controlled by the Richemont group, which also includes Piaget. But the point is not the financial aspect, but the fact that a premium brands opens their doors to online sales of jewelry that are normally distributed only through Piaget stores.
The other more chance is that relating to the new Piaget Possession line, which opens another door, this time to the colors. Instead of just the simple gold and diamonds, to the jewels of the collection are added stones like carnelian, malachite, turquoise, onyx, lapis lazuli. The collection, which was introduced 25 years ago, however, renewed without forgetting the moving parts of the jewelry, which rotate and make rings or pendants almost a pastime with which to fiddle. The long sautoir necklaces, moreover, can be worn on different dimensions, so as to be able to wear even both together. Even the rigid bracelets, but flexible, with the stones end, can be used more than one at same time. And, finally, are flexibles also the prices: for bracelets, ranging from a low of about 2,000 Euros to 6,950 Euros.
Roberto Coin is back in the Garden
Roberto Coin is still flourish with Garden collection ♦
The Garden Collection “reinterprets the eternal fascination of secret gardens in precious and expressive notes. Rings and pendants elate the imagination towards an enchanted world that looks charming with rich details from unexpected and extraordinary forms”, and so on. Without detracting from the poetry of company announcements, certainly necessary, the truth is otherwise: the Garden collection was introduced in 2014 by the designer of Vicenza, now a citizen of world, and it was simply inspired by his garden where, with his wife, he likes to spend free time.
Trivial? Not at all: who has the gift of creativity is inspired by what surrounds him, then he turns it, transfigures it, interprets it. So, in contrast, it takes on even more value the ability to transfer to metal and stones floral aspects of nature in elaborate cocktail rings or earrings. The collection has received the right success and so, three years later, the jewelry line is further renewed with some new entries presented at Baselworld. Indicative prices: the less elaborate rings are less than 5,000 euro, a pendant with a topaz rises above 8,000. Giulia Netrese
The talking rings by Recarlo
The customizable rings of the collection Florence by Recarlo. Images and price.
Say it with flowers. Indeed, no, you can say it with a ring. Recarlo is 50 years old and offers a new collection: Florence. That is a tribute to the city of art and crafts, school virtuous passions and skills. Virtues in this case interpreted for jewelry. The idea is to offer to those who buy a ring of Florence collection the ability to customize with symbols or keywords the stem of the jewel.
Since the rings are the classic solitaire, often gift for engagement or for other special occasions, the inscription can become a key element. It is currently offering the ability to add some symbols or words that are chosen on Recarlo website. The incision is then added manually on the outside of the ring. Soon, however, you will be able to propose ad hoc symbols or sentences. The rings have diamonds ranging from 0.30 to 1 carat (G color and purity SI), with three different white gold setting: four griffe, six griffe, or Valentine, which consists of four griffe with convex shape. Prices: from about 2,000 euro for 0.30-carat diamond, up to 11,000 for the ring with 1 carat stone.
Carrera y Carrera Taoist
Carrera y Carrera uses the sign of the Tao for the Aqua collection.
The Tao is the Way or the Path, and it is one of the main concepts of the history of Chinese thought, which is at base of Taoism. Now it is also a main road where is walking Carrera y Carrera, the Spanish jewelery company that perhaps more than any other embodies the warm tradition combined with the Iberian creativity. The collection Aqua, in fact, existed for some time.
But Carrera y Carrera has decided to infuse a more philosophical spirit although, in truth, the symbol of the Tao, which synthesizes the opposites (good and evil, black and white, man and woman, etc.), is regarded as a talisman, instead that an icon that can deserve existential reflections. What’s more, according to communicating with (irony? maybe) the Maison, the jewelry “give a powerful symbolic and a large flow of energy to its owner.” Since in the era of iPhone it’s not necessary to imagine that the jewels are arising from the world of Harry Potter, you can also appreciate these pieces in yellow gold with onyx and mother of pearl with diamonds, with many variations of gemstones also without magic powers. And maybe that’s the real magic. Lavinia Andorno
The Baroque echoes of Barbara Haas
Between Florence, Baroque and Expressionism: the works of German designer Barbara Haas.
Nobles and British and German artists nineteenth century went down to southern, in Italy, for the Grand Tour: a long trip that served to broaden the culture and experiences. Italy still has a special fascination for many Nordic countries, in particular those involved in jewelry. The German designer Barbara Haas is one of these. She attended and graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and, perhaps not secondary, she is married to an Italian. But, probably, it have been the cultural layers of the city to stay more imprinted in the mind of Barbara Haas.
When she returned in Germany and established in the jewelry cot, Pforzheim, the designer began to develop and produce jewelry that remember, with their processing, Renaissance and Baroque motifs: flowers, cherubs, ringlets are made of silver and colored lacquers. It also uses the technique of filigree, another classic of Italian jewelery. But not only. She divides her time with the sculpture, realizes statues and works in wood, bronze or stone. Although in this case the Florentine school seems combined with the Expressionist, which is born in Germany. Lavinia Andorno

Nebula and Sole by Mattia Cielo
New jewelry by Mattia Cielo are inspired by the sky with Sole and Nebula.
First there were the Armadillo, the Vulcan, the Peacock. What could be inspired by one of the most innovative Italian designer, Mattia Cielo? In a way at BaselWorld 2017 he presented something that is inspired to himself, or rather to the sky (cielo in italian language). Two novelties are constituted, in fact, from Nebula (the word means cloud in latin language) and Sole (sun). And so, two elements that dominate the sky.
As in the past, the image of Mattia Cielo creations was entrusted Fred Leveugle, one of the photographers most smart, who played much on the contrast of light and shadow. And as in the past, the new proposals of the Vicenza jewelery play both on the level of form, and on that of the invention, which does not forget the technological challenge. Nebula, for example, reaches the goal of producing reflections and lightness with the use of materials such as titanium and carbon, next to the classic diamond and white gold. The Sole collection, however, focuses on the movement of the elements that compose it: it is made of white and pink gold, softened by rounded edges that multiply the reflections, while the movable component is both a rectangular paved diamond or a single diamond.
The Moon spheres by Officina Bernardi run also for Mother’s Day with Vita collection.

A galvanic treatment translates the silver in different colors: white rhodium, white and pink, white and yellow, white and black. With a form, in short, you get multiple variants. As they know the Gioiellis.com readers, Officina Bernardi is characterized by the use of the Moon little balls, small sphere in gold or silver, with a moon facet-shaped, thanks to its chiselling, it gives an excellent brightness to jewelry. The collection has a distinctive shaped pendant ring inserted Moon balls. The pendant has an opening in the shape of heart. Giulia Netrese

Misani, nostalgia for the future
Misani between nostalgia and the future with the new collections 2017, including rings and bracelets.
Misani is a historic brand in Milan born on the wave of the seventies. The founder, Ivo Misani, who in 1965 opened a jewelry store, in 1974 he founded the brand that bears his name. And that is still going strong: now the company presents its new collection 2017, always in the path traced by the history of the Maison. But also with some new distinctive features, starting from the materials used, very lively, as Colombian amber, kunzite and ruby, that are paired with gold and, for some bracelets, leather. The design is quite free from constraints, ranging from luxury sport style, up to almost nostalgic vintage, a bit as it is in the company’s history. Large bracelets, but also rings with cabochon stone lines represent the different proposals. The names of the jewelery lines already indicate what is the temporal and emotional reference: Fifty, Sunrise, Coral, Grand Tour, Monte Napoleone. In each line, of course, it corresponds to a different combination of elements that enrich the bracelets. Giulia Netrese
