Patrizia Corvaglia’s jewels to look at

Bracciale Orchidea, Un'allegoria dei fiori, della collezione di Patrizia Corvaglia per il museo del Prado di Madrid. Bronzo e smalto

Jewels, but to look before wearing: they are those of Patrizia Corvaglia, Roman artist-designer. In fact, more than jewels in the classic sense, Patrizia Corvaglia’s productions are more comfortable under the showcases of an exhibition, rather than in jewelry. But this does not mean that they cannot also be used as ornaments, even if they are unique pieces and created with the idea of researching the material and volumes. Sculptures that use gold and semi-precious stones as materials.

The Patrizia Corvaglia Gioielli brand was born in 2002. From that year, the designer’s jewels have participated in numerous exhibitions, testifying to the fact that these are first of all creations created also with the spirit of artistic research. The source of inspiration for the jewels are natural elements, as in the Leaves collection, but also abstract geometries, as in the case of the Optical collection, where the shape of the circle is repeated in a hypnotic way. And unlike the Geometrie collection, which prefers the rectangular design.
There is also a link to the architecture and history of Salento, the land of origin of the designer: the Baroque collection takes up the curls and curves of that artistic period that marked art in Puglia.

Through history with Ivan Barbato

Published on April 14, 2023

Craftsmanship, goldsmithing, creativity. But also tradition and dedication. Ivan Barbato represents the new generation of Italian gold and silver working professionals. Barbato was born in Gallarate in the province of Varese and works in Cardano al Campo, also in the province of Varese. An exhibition at the Incinque Open Art Monti Gallery in Rome is dedicated to him. Monica Cecchini’s gallery will host Barbato’s works from 5 to 7 May. The exhibition is titled In the footsteps of matter.

Barbato’s story is not common: he was attracted to the trade when he was only eight years old, observing the ancient goldsmith’s shop where his mother worked from the window of his house. After his professional qualification in Milan, he worked for a decade in various companies in the goldsmith sector. In 2008 he opened his own laboratory atelier. He has received several awards, the latest of which, in 2022, at the Rome Jewerly Week, with the first prize of the Incinque Jewels competition. The goldsmith uses different materials and techniques, with a path that crosses history: the lava stone of Vesuvius, gold, mother-of-pearl, coral, shells, turquoise.

Pendente a forma di cuore con turchese intagliato

My jewels are made in a completely artisanal way, paying particular attention to metal working, the fretwork technique and wax modeling. These are handmade creations with gems of any kind, precious semi-precious and not. My mantra is a mix: shaping each piece with its frame and shaping a charm that can give emotions over time.
Ivan Barbato

The exhibition includes the Antica Roma collection, with jewels made of non-precious materials such as bronze and walnut travertine marble, and the Infinity collection, created in collaboration with the mosaicist Fabio Bordi. The visitor will be able to admire a series of jewels also in bronze where the meticulous modeling of the goldsmith is combined with the patient work of the micro mosaic in marble or Venetian enamels.

Lavinia Fuksas, design between rhombuses and triangles

Published on February 5, 2023

Showroom

Perhaps creativity cannot be transmitted genetically, but growing up between two famous architects can be useful for developing one’s aesthetic sense. And this is what Lavinia Fuksas, daughter of Doriana and Massimilano Fuksas, two internationally known Italian designers, can tell. Lavinia, however, followed her path. And she is now considered one of the emerging jewelery brands. Merit, if one can say so, also of the lockdown period caused by the covid, which has allowed a time for reflection and planning for the long-held idea of tackling the jewelery market.

Furthermore, one of the characteristics of Lavinia Fuksas jewels, based in Rome, is that they are designed indifferently for men or women. Gender fluid is a trend and, on closer inspection, for jewelry designers to propose rings or earrings without distinction of gender is a great saving and an excellent opportunity.

The designer’s style is a road with two points of arrival and departure. On the one hand there is the architectural geometry, daughter of the cultural environment in which the designer grew up, on the other the effort to make the figures of triangles and rhombuses, which recur in the collections of Lavinia Fuksas, ductile and not too rigid. She also reveals it with the choice of one of her collections, Jaipur, inspired by the atmosphere of the Indian capital city of gold and gem processing.

Orecchini nautica placcati oro giallo con gemme naturali

Between the Italian cities of Alexandria and Rome there are 600 kilometers. A distance that Teresa Ingrosso wanted to shorten. Originally from the Piedmontese city near the goldsmith district of Valenza, she moved to one of the most famous places in the world, Piazza di Spagna, in the Eternal City, frequented by tourists from all over the globe. And since the city has millenary roots, the designer has created the Endless brand. Even the jewels that the brand offers seem endless, in the sense that they are inspired by classic shapes revisited with a modern eye: tennis bracelets, nautical version chains, eternity rings and so on, but also with original volumes, as in the Pianeti collection.

Endless jewels are made of silver, in natural color or yellow or white gold plated and with the addition of cubic zirconia or unspecified natural stones “ruby color” and “emerald color”, but also onyx and enamel. Prices do not exceed (with some exceptions) 150 euros.

The jewels by Ludovica Andreoni

The jewels by Ludovica Andreoni’s collections.

In recent years, too much has been written about the separation of Ludovica Andreoni from the former president of Ferrari, Ludovico Cordero di Montezemolo. And it is unfair to label Ludovica Andreoni as an ex, because her activity is different and that of a jewelry designer in Rome. The di lei are jewels that have an undoubted value, both for the materials used, such as gold, precious stones (even small blue diamonds) and for the design, to which are added reworkings of vintage pieces.

Anello in oro 9 o 18 carati, smalto, diamanti

Everything is designed in the designer’s studio in the Parioli district of Rome.

Then, the project is entrusted to craftsmen who have the task of translating the design and the mold into finished jewellery. Ludovica Andreoni has thrown herself headlong into what she assures is her favorite activity, also with the production of unique pieces of undoubted value, which are added to the collections also offered through a convenient online shop. The style is quite eclectic, with numerous variations of the classic jewel models, for example, with the proposal of rings in the trumpet version, next to bands that show the letter L in relief. Which, obviously, is that of the designer’s name.

The tradition of Baroque art merged in the jewelry signed by the historic Roman Maison Cazzaniga ♦

Time ago Heritage Auction, auction houses American, has put on sale one of the most remarkable piece of jewelry designer Cazzaniga. It is a necklace made in 1969 and made up with small diamonds, rubies, enamel, gold. The design is unmistakable: a chain of rectangular rings coupled with elements of green enamel, and at the center of a pendant necklace with a plant in a pot. Impossible to confuse with other jewelry. This is the style Cazzaniga. The history of this Roman goldsmith begins in mid-twentieth century. The founder was Angelo Giorgio Cazzaniga.

The father, Luigi Cazzaniga, was administrator of the villa owned by Prince Abamelek Lasarev, cousin of Tsar Nicholas II. Here Cazzaniga I spent childhood and adolescence. And the wealth with which it was in contact has left an imprint in his view of life. So in 1929 the young Angelo Giorgio Cazzaniga opens a Jewellery store, in the heart of Rome, and proposed a unique style, with colorful jewelry and lively. But hitting is the design of jewelry, inspired by the classical and Baroque Rome, with pieces that look like little sculptures. In short, the art of Bernini, the most historic buildings in the city are turned into jewelry, with great decorations and plenty of gold and colored stones. This neo-Baroque also continued in the eighties, with the arrival of the son, Paolo Cazzaniga, which has also innovated collections in a contemporary style, with a wider range of materials and new themes, even exotic. But the jewelry of Cazzaniga are always on the border of the myth.

The jewels and the precious piercing by Maria Tash ♦

Jewels capable of targeting or rather to penetrate: Maria Tash is famous for her precious piercing and, more generally, to the rings that do not just shove in the earlobes, but also in the nasal septum, or navel. After studying in London, more than 20 years ago she discovered the charm of the kind of jewelry that now it is very fashionable. In the East, as in India and Pakistan it has always been a traditional way of wearing jewelry. This tradition has inspired her. The art work on the body has resulted in opening her first center of tattoos and piercings, in New York.

In that years the piercing was only made of steel, and she has transformed these pieces in real jewels with precious metals and stones. She then enlarged the field in earrings, rings, necklaces. The idea of using navel for real jewels, has convinced many stars to turn to her. The success has now brought back to London, where she decided to open a local office for its activities of body-jeweler. In addition to gold, yellow or white, her jewelry are made with diamonds, but also stones like sapphires, amethysts or opals. Prices are very diverse, ranging from 100-200 dollars, up to $ 12,500 for earrings with sapphires and pearls. In short, the way valuable to the piercing. Lavinia Andorno

Despite the company’s name is Georgian, like the filmmaker Otar, the House was founded in 1996 by two Italians: Paolo Giacomelli and Roberta Paolucci designers, former collaborator of Missoni. The Iosselliani eclettism relies entirely on the ability to mix styles and inspirations, including the ethnic jewel and the hi-tech. Metal and colored cubic zirconia come together in pieces that often seem puzzle composed of many small pieces, like the Mandala collection of which you see the pictures on this page. They have gold threads and fringes, intricate messages, tinkling sounds. They are also very showy and therefore are highly sought after by costume film or photo shoots. After all, some ideal relationship with the director they have it.

Federica Tosi queen of Rome

The jewels of the Roman designer Federica Tosi: Nina Zilli, Illary Blasi and … like them ♦ ︎

“Jewelry is the natural completion of the clothing collection,” explains Federica Tosi. And it is a common opinion that, in this case, has a different flavor. Because she is the designer of the clothing and jewelry lines that bear her name. Federica Tosi is one of the new names, but with several fans already, of Roman fashion. And it is one of the few cases of designers who deal with both the clothing line (she has presented his collections also at high fashion shows in Rome) and jewelry.

The rings, earrings and necklaces are in brass or silver bathed in rose, yellow and burnished gold. But behind the designer has the appreciation of a series of characters from the world of Italian entertainment, such as Nina Zilli, Ilary Blasi, Fiorella Mannoia, Laura Pausini, Rocío Muñoz Morales, Nicoletta Romanoff, Camilla Filippi, Lucia Mascino, Valentina Romani, Matilde Gioli and Stella Egypt. Federica Tosi’s career, she says, began by chance after a trip to the United States in 2006, where she discovered the art of composition with crystals, which she then used for her jewelry collections, now also sold from online stores such as LuisaViaRoma. After a period of professional growth, the Federica Tosi brand was born in 2016. But it has already been successful.

Emanuela Duca and her jewels with roots in Rome and work in New York, between the call of the earth and fantasy.

From Rome to New York: a journey that millions of tourists and a few designers travel. Among these, there is Emanuela Duca, who from the capital of Italy has moved permanently to the capital of the American East Coast, New York, indeed, Manhattan and, now in the Hudson Valley. Even if she now lives and works in the Big Apple, she keeps her roots in the artistic culture of the Peninsula and often returns to Rome, where she followed her training path. She graduated from the Art School of Rome, and then from the European Institute of Design. Not only that: in addition to jewelry, Emanuela was involved in dance, painting and sculpture. Almost a Renaissance artist, when the divisions between the different artistic skills were subtle.

The collections of LJ Roma 1962 ♦ ︎

Labor Jewels, renamed LJ Roma 1962, was born in 2001 from an offshoot of Artifex, a Roman company that deals with production for third parties of jewels created by the designer Armando Pasini, who also gave birth to the Bonato Milano brand. As it is easy to guess from the choice of a Latin word, Labor, which means work, the jewelry brand tends to associate its business with the atmosphere and culture of the history of Rome. So much so that on the website the inscription in Latin stands out: Magnos animos magnis honoribus fieri. That is: great ambitions make great spirits, a phrase attributed to Tito Livio.

Even if, in fact, it is not a choice that pushes the jewelry brand to look back to the past. The jewels, that is, do not refer to the glory of the Roman Empire (even if one of the collections is called, in fact, Empire) but rather to contemporary glamor. The small Maison also has a boutique in the center of Rome, in via Condotti.

The new Blenda road

Published on April 4, 2022

Rings/bracciale/COLLANE

Claiming that covid also had positive aspects is certainly wrong. But, in a certain sense, it has forced many people to have more free time, perhaps thanks to smart working. Or the birth of two twins. And this is what happened to a young girl from the Marche, who has worked for years in the fashion industry, and who has decided to bring out her passion for jewelry. The result is Blenda, a jewelry brand founded in spring 2021 in Rome by Cristina Tricarico.

I have always had a great passion for jewels, but having a very multifaceted soul I have always struggled to find my style and my way of perceiving elegance combined with everyday life and so, after starting to make them for myself, I felt the need to create my first selection of jewels, designed to reflect my personality and that of those who, like me, were looking for something truly unique, in a real jewelery tailor shop.
Cristina Tricarico

Another detail must be added: the name Blenda, perhaps few people know, is commonly the one referring to sphalerite, the mineral from which zinc is extracted. The name blenda derives from the German blenden, to deceive, due to its appearance which is confused with galena. The name of sphalerite derives from the Greek sphaleros, misleading.
That said, nothing of the new Blenda collections is misleading. The founder, who follows one-girl-show all the phases from design to realization, prefers the creation of unique pieces. Small diamonds and precious stones such as emeralds, rubies, sapphires and semiprecious stones such as tourmaline and aquamarine are set on rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings, the result of continuous research by the brand on the best Italian and international markets, and mounted on certified 18 carat gold. . In short, serious stuff.

The symbol of Rome is a she-wolf nursing two twins. Zannetti is a Roman jewelry and accessories company based a few steps from the luxury street of the Italian capital, via Condotti. But its twins are instead cufflinks, a different type: they are those that are worn on the wrist of a man’s shirt but, in fact, nothing prevents a woman from choosing them. The cufflinks are flanked by the classic jewels proposed by the small Maison and accessories that include products such as perfumes, key rings or writing tools.

Gemelli in argento smaltato a forma di aeroplano

A story that began in 1982 with Riccardo Zannetti, founder and inventor of the brand, and also a specialist in the watchmaking sector. The timepieces, produced in a few copies a year, have become a collector’s item. 40 years after the birth of the company, the brand in the meantime has expanded its field of action which includes, in fact, also cufflinks. They are made of enameled silver, with the addition of a good dose of imagination. The price on average fluctuates between 150 and 300 euros, which places them in the category of gift items.

There is Bulgari, there is Chaumet, there is Faraone. And then there are Cartier, David Web, Buccellati … All together. But it is not a party for jewelers: the great Maison are in the Eleuteri boutique, one of the great jewelers of Rome specializing in special jewels. Period pieces, more or less antique, but all of great quality. Eleuteri has always been in via Condotti, the luxury shopping street in the capital, Milano, Venezia, Cortina and Porto Cervo..

But Carlo Eleuteri and his son Wagner have also opened a showcase in New York, in central Madison Avenue. A landing that was underlined by a long article in the New York Times. It is a strategic choice. It is no coincidence that Wagner Eleuteri holds a degree from the London School of Economics. The jewelry company is in the fourth generation: the history of Eleuteri began, in fact, in 1894, even if with a candied shop. The transformation into jewelry, however, took place in 1963, with Pietro Eleuteri, a collector passionate about ancient art, who opened an antique shop. From antiques to ancient jewels the passage is short. So much so that now the Roman Maison has accumulated a collection of pieces of considerable value and beauty that, at the moment, are sought above all by the rich tourists who go shopping in Via Condotti. And now also in Manhattan.

The 3D by Valeria D’Annibale

Published on December 28, 2021

Valeria D’Annibale, hi-tech designer but without giving up the personal touch with her Varily Jewelry ♦

From Rome (Italy) to Sidney (Australia) to design and produce bijoux with 3D printer technology. Valeria D’Annibale studied Jewelery and Object Design at the Enmore Design Center and goldsmithing in Italy: the synthesis of her work is the computer creation of earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets and then translating them into objects with the use of nylon powder through a special printer. Varily Jewelry’s hi-tech jewels are sold directly online on her site.

There is also a phase two, because the objects are then finished by hand. In short, an activity between technology and craftsmanship, so much so that Valeria D’Annibale was long ago invited to participate in the Make Fair, an event dedicated to the world of new digital artisans that takes place in Rome. She, who explained that she had a passion for jewelry since she was a child, created her own jewelry brand in 2015. Hers is a very personal way, a bridge between hi-tech and tradition: in addition to 3D printing, in fact, he also uses silver and steel, before concluding the processing of the pieces by adding textures and finishes to make each piece something different.

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.

Rome ready for the Jewelry Week

Published on September 30, 2021

news

Rome snatches the idea of a week dedicated to jewelry from Milan. In fact, the marketing and communication project is entrusted to Eugenia Gadaleta, who had contributed to the same format in Milan. In Rome, the event is promoted by the Incinque Open Art Monti association.
The first edition of Rome Jewelry Week is scheduled from 11 to 17 October. Objective: to enhance and disseminate the culture of contemporary jewelery, of the author, of the artist, as well as of historical goldsmith realities. The event can also count on the patronage of the I Municipality of Rome (the first administrative subdivision of Roma Capitale, which encloses the historic center), of the Italian-American Chamber of Commerce in New York.

Conceived by architect Monica Cecchini, the project has received the support of over 130 international designers. The promoter team also includes the artist-goldsmith Emanuele Leonardi and the jewel historian Bianca Cappello. As already happened in Milan, a competition is also planned in Rome, with awards given by the president of the Italian-American Chamber of Commerce in New York, Alberto Milani, who in the past has held leading roles in the world of luxury jewelery for brands such as Bulgari and Buccellati. The winning creation will be the protagonist of a special project and from Rome it will land on the new American jewelry platform Jedora.com.
