The record sapphire Star of Jolie




By Robert Procop the biggest sapphire, Star of Jolie ♦ ︎
Between Angelina Jolie and the jeweler of Berverly Hills,Robert Procop, there is a liason. But it has nothing to do with love: between the two there is a collaboration that lasts from long time, so many years ago the actress signed a jewelery collection made by Procop, Style of Jolie, who served to fund a school for girls in Afghanistan. And Procop also collaborated with the actress to make jewelry used in some movies.
Now, Jolie and Procop are united by a huge black star sapphire. According Procop is the largest sapphire of this type, very rare, certified by the Gemological Institute of America. The stone was extracted in Ausatralia, Queensland Mines. It was named Star of Jolie in honor of the actress and it weighs 888.88 carats. The stone is mounted on a necklace made up of another 70 sapphires, for 104,42 carats, on pink gold. The price of the necklace is commensurate with its rarity: $ 5 million.
Other black sapphires, with asterism effect, that is, with a particular star effect color, were used by Procop for his the Exceptional Jewels collection. Cosimo Muzzano

Chaumet, here it’s the party

Chaumet in a festival music: four magnificent high jewelery lines ♦ ︎
High jewelery is a feast for the eyes, though not for the wallet. So there is one of the historic Place Vendôme Maison (born in 1780) celebrating the double. It is called Chaumet est une fête its new collection of high jewelery. But it is a four-time party, how many are the ones in which the collection is subdivided. Since it is alluded to a great social evening, the times are those used by great music. Dance music with the Valses d’Hiver or syncopated with Rhapsodie Transantlantique as the Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin, respectful of the classic tradition with the Pastorale Anglaise (dedicated to the Glyndebourne Festival) or the world of the opera with Aria Passionata (inspired by La Scala Theater Milan).
The Pastorale, for example, explores reasons through the use of green color: obviously these are valuable emeralds of the Muzo, Colombia mines.

Complex jewelery masterpieces, delicate goldsmiths work and magnificent stones: it is enough to say that the Necklace of the Pastoral line costs about 2 million, while the average jewelry price is about 400,000 euros. Aria Passionata is, however, consistent with its name, a red suite of rubies, garnets, associated with pink gold and diamonds. The tenor and soprano tunes engaged in melodrama classics turn into bouquet-shaped pins (but not to be cast on stage as a performance tribute). Rhapsody in Blue uses white gold, diamonds, tanzanite, tourmaline, chrysoberyl: many different shades as you expect when listening to a music rhapsody. Finally, Valses d’Hiver is a dance around soft, refined, white gold, diamonds and pearls – light and turbulent as a step between stuccoes and the vaults of a frescoed salon. Giulia Netrese

Bayco is a jewelry brand founded in New York in 1981 by brothers Moris and Giacomo Hadjibay, of Iranian origin. The two brothers, after spending their youth and apprenticeship in Italy, where they worked with his father Amir Hadjibay, expert and dealer in gems, have decided to launch its own brand in New York. With the experience accumulated in the family as part of the precious stones, the idea was quickly to create unique pieces, jewelry which put at the center rubies, emeralds, diamonds or sapphires. Bayco is now an established name of high jewelery and his pieces are required in markets around the world, partly because the traditional activities in the field of gems has not been abandoned.
The jewels, in short, are made as of the shape and specificity of the stones even before an abstract design. Examples are the ones chosen to Baselworld. The Burmese sapphire is out of the ordinary: it weighs 60 carats, has pan cutting sugar, and stands atop a ring paved with diamonds. The sapphire upper part is detachable from the ring and can be used as a pendant on a necklace. The ruby ​​on ring, Burmese natural, unheated and extremely rare of this size, has a double row of pear-shaped colorless diamond weighing 14 carats total. It is considered by Bayco one of the most important gems in the world. Alessia Mongrando
