Barbie’s jewels

Do you like pink? Do you want to wear pink jewelry? Are you looking for a pink necklace? Or a bracelet? Or … Here are many ideas ♦

There are many reasons to wear pink jewelry, Barbie’s favorite color. The first is that it is the light version of marsala, announced color of the year, according to Pantone. In addition, it is definitely more suited to this season; the second reason is that its tone, even the one tinged with gray tinge, embellishes any type of skin. And This alone would be enough to convince anyone. But there is another side to act as an incentive and comes from English: think pink!It means thinking positive. And indeed a beautiful bright pink is a burst of energy, a stimulus to good mood. So, although many of the color names have lost their multiplicity of meanings, even in some languages in common phrases characterize specific moods. So, ring, earrings or bracelet have also colored stones, faceted or cabochon, translucent or opaque. Provided that they are pink.

And more, pink is a positive color. It takes its name from the fragrant flower of the same name. But perhaps you don’t know that it was born quite recently: the name rose was used for the first time to indicate a shade of color only at the end of the 17th century. In the West (especially Europe and the United States), pink is the color associated with concepts of charm, kindness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity and romance. If the hue is very light, it is associated with chastity and innocence. On the contrary, a bright pink suggests eroticism and seduction.

The history of pink
One could write a history of the color pink. But, undoubtedly, the maximum popularity reached it in the mid-eighteenth century, when pastel colors became very fashionable in all the courts of Europe. The pink color in particular was highly appreciated by Madame de Pompadour (1721-1764), lover of King Louis XV of France, who often wore clothes that combined blue and pink. Not only that: she had a particular shade of pink created especially for her by the Sevres porcelain factory, apparently with small additions of blue, black and yellow.

Pink stones
But let’s talk about jewelry: in addition to pink gold, you have a wide choice of stones that have shades of rose. The most precious, and most expensive, is undoubtedly the diamond. Diamonds with pink shades are buyed for millions of dollars during the auctions. But luckily there are many other stones that also have this color tone in their repertoire: quartz, sapphire, mystic topaz, rhodolite garnet, morganite, kunzite, Malaya garnet, tourmaline, spinel, opal, zircon, pink pearl, moonstone , coral, smithsonite, pezzottaite, rhodochrosite and rhodonite. You only have the problem of choosing one.

After these notes of color, we come to the jewelry that draws Ms Getty and sells under its own brand, Sabine Getty. The latest collection takes up the work of one of the greatest Italian designer Ettore Sottsass, who in 1980 launched the Memphis group , inspired by a song by Bob Dylan and the works of Sonia Delauny. Straight lines, circles, flat colors: a revolution for the time. Sabine Getty has transformed this style in jewelry in the shape of a zig-zag, gold and precious stones: bracelets, earrings and rings very determined. Margherita Donato

An idea called Prospero

Prospero is the unusual name for the new jewelry collection of Sabine G. The explanation is in the picture of Slim Aarons in 1960, that portrays an italian Princess, Colonna di Stigliano, with his son Prospero. In the background, the majestic Great Hall of the Gallery Colona, ​​in Rome: a triumph of marble, mirrors and stucco. From this was born the inspiration for a collection of American designer, celebrating the Roman Baroque and the eternal city. The third collection by the anglo-lebanese Sabine Ghanem, born in Beirut, grew up in Egypt, lived in New York (where he studied gemology at the GIA) and London, where he currently lives. In 2012 Slim (who is also the wife of the tycoon Joseph Getty) began designing jewelry with its namesake brand and in just three years has won many fans, including Emma Watson, Leandra Medine and Catherine Deneuve. Colored and lit by moonstones opalescent, pink sapphires, tsavorites green as lime and garnet red colors, the collection Prospero takes architectural elements like the three stone ring Navona: a referring to the three fountains in the famous square in Rome, or at the decoration of palms leaves, typical of Baroque. Here are pictures and prices. Matilde de Bounvilles
