New jewelers in support of Ukraine




Jewelers in support of Ukraine. In March, some jewelers launched a fundraiser for children who were victims of war. So far they have raised around £ 25,000 for Hope and Homes for Children, an NGO currently working in Ukraine, in combination with gems extracted from a Brazilian Cruzeiro mine. The support action continues and other designs have been added in recent months. Brazilian-born designer Ana Khouri, for example, has just donated a pair of earrings in yellow beryl and blue indicolite tourmaline, the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

The idea of ​​the jewelry for Ukraine is by Annabel Davidson of Vanity Fair on Jewelery: when Russia started the war she was in Brazil visiting the Cruzeiro mine, which is located in the state of Minas Gerais, north of Sao Paulo . The mine produces tourmaline, quartz, morganite, aquamarine and garnet, as well as blue indicolite tourmaline and yellow heliodine, the colors of the Ukrainian flag. Davidson put two and two together.

The CEO of the mine, Douglas Neves, immediately agreed to donate the gems for the project to support the Ukrainian people. They joined immediately: Carla Amorim, Ara Vartanian, Prasi and Kika Alvarenga from Brazil, Jessica McCormack in London,  Ana Khouri in New York and Maggi Simpkins based in Los Angeles, together with Ruth Tomlinson and Sophie Breitmeyer. Other jewelers, such as Solange Azagury-Partridge, Anabela Chan and Robinson Pelham, have instead decided to support the Red Cross or organizations such as Care and Save the Children UK.

The money raised is passed on to Hope and Homes for Children, which supports volunteers in Ukraine.

Muzo emeralds for ten women designers




Every year Muzo, which manages the most famous Colombian emerald mine in the world, involves some designers in the design of jewelry with the most desired green gem in the world. Muzo’s goal is to raise awareness and emphasize the quality of emeralds not only for rings, earrings or necklaces with the classic shape, but also for new jewelry, made by designers who love to innovate. This year, however, Muzo changed the rules and reserved the collaboration for a group of entirely female designers. These are Colette, Harwell Godfrey, Jenna Blake, Katherine Jetter, Loren Nicole, Michelle Fantaci, Nina Runsdorf, Robinson Pelham, Silvia Furmanovich and Little Sister.

The designers who adhered to Muzo’s idea have therefore created a series of high quality jewelry, often surprising and innovative, including cabochon emeralds, emerald pearls and, of course, gems in the classic rectangular cut. The jewels were then presented on Moda Operandi.

Pippa Middleton, the ring’s trendsetter

No denying it: the gossip columns involving the British royal family don’t go out of style. They attracts attention also as regards the jewels. The latest news are about the wedding of Pippa Middleton, sister of Kate, Duchess of Cambridge and wife of the heir to the throne Williams. She was photographed with a large diamond ring, precious sign of engagement with James Matthews, a rich businessman. If Kate has received the ring with sapphire once belonged to Diana Spencer, mother of Williams, you can not say that Pippa ring is less important. According to the expert gemologist of the Daily Telegraph, the ring has a value of about 200,000 pounds, or about 240,000 euro. The engagement ring is not the classic solitaire. It is octagonal in shape and has been purchased by London jeweler Robinson Pelham, serving for years the Middleton family and provided the diamond earrings that the Duchess of Cambridge wore on her wedding day.
The advantage of the square shape
According to experts, the symmetrical proportions of the rings with square stones, which not coincidentally are called princess, have the advantage of appearing larger than with round shape. They also tend to get better value for money, because the square cut is easier for those who work the stones and you can waste less material. Alessia Mongrando

Il vantaggio della forma quadrata

Secondo gli esperti, le proporzioni simmetriche degli anelli con pietre quadrangolare, che non a caso si chiamano princess, hanno il vantaggio di apparire più grandi rispetto a quelli circolari. Tendono anche a ottenere un migliore rapporto qualità-prezzo, perché il taglio quadrato è più semplice per chi lavora le pietre e consente di sprecare meno materiale. Alessia Mongrando
