The Sicily of Giuliana Di Franco

Published on January 14, 2021

The charm of Sicily, the mystery of an island that is a bridge between Europe and Africa, a crossroads of cultures immersed in an exuberant nature: all these elements are found in Giuliana Di Franco‘s jewels, with a story that began in 1989. The headquarters where the designer works is a symbol of Sicilian complexity: a nineteenth-century Sulfur mill, that is, once used for processing mineral extracted in mines. Then, the mill was turned into a granary before being abandoned and now refurbished. It is located in Leonforte, a small town in the province of Enna.

Anello Amori Siciliani in argento e smalto

In a nut shell, Giuliana Di Franco’s jewels are an extract of Sicilianity: colored with enamel, often with subjects that are inspired by the icons of the island and the South of Italy. The jewels are handcrafted and are usually made of gilded silver. The passion for jewels has always accompanied the designer: in the eighties she went to Vicenza as an apprentice, then returned to Sicily and founded her little Maison.

The design beyond the desert by Nadine Kanso

Bracciale in oro e smeraldi di Nadine Kanso

They have remained anchored, for many, to tradition. Which still exists. But in the jewelry of Arab countries there is no longer just that: new young designers propose new styles, which are not necessarily Western ones. In the case of Nadine Kanso, for example, it is a happy synthesis between Western jewelry and that which has been in use for centuries in Arabic-speaking nations. Nadine Kanso, who lives and works in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, founded the Bil Arabi brand in 2006, which has been appreciated as the fresh air in the desert. The designer’s ability was soon noticed also in the rest of the world and one of her bracelets was specially made for the sale of Christie’s in favor of the reconstruction of Beirut.

The designer has a background in graphics and typography, and in fact for her jewels she often uses the letters of Arabic script, which become decorative motifs. For example, bhibbak, meaning I love you, was the first Arabic phrase that Nadine made in gold. Over time, the style has evolved beyond words transformed into jewels, made of gold, precious stones such as diamonds or semi-precious stones such as tapazio, which are used alongside colored enamels.

The infinite Puzzle of Mattioli

Published on June 18, 2020

Showroom/Orecchini

It is the only Puzzle that will never be completed: the collection by Mattioli, a Turin-based brand specializing in jewelery with a strong personality, is one of the proposals that have experienced the greatest success. And that, periodically, are enriched with new pieces or, better, tiles, given that the name of the collection refers to table puzzles. Now the Puzzle Safari line is enriched with three new colors (pink nail polish, light blue nail polish and green nail polish).

One of the reasons that made Puzzle successful is that the elements, like those of the earrings, are interchangeable. Puzzle tiles can be easily replaced to match the earrings with the dress or simply because you like it. The jewels are sold together with a box that contains at least three spare parts, for example, with a mother of pearl version. But boxes with a dozen different spare parts are also on sale. Same goes for necklaces, for which the elements of the Puzzle collection become pendants. Finally, to remember that the jewels of this line are offered in three sizes: small, medium and large, obviously with different prices. For example, a box with 11 different spare parts for medium-sized earrings currently costs around 2,2500 euros.

The Marilyn collection designed by Casato expands with new pieces: white and rose gold, diamonds and enamel ♦ ︎

The name is Marilyn, like the great American actress of the Sixties. But it has a completely different appearance: essential, but with personality. Marilyn is the name of the new line of jewelry signed Casato, Maison in Rome founded in 2004 by Federico Gauttieri. Among the merits of jewelry there is, without doubt, a coherence in style, which embraces a modern vision of jewelry, but without forgetting a rich appeal approach.

The necklaces, bracelets and earrings of the Marilyn line are enriched with marquise-cut brilliants, wrapped in a circle of black enamel. Casato proposes spring bracelets and two variations of both lobe and circle earrings. Among the rings stands out the contrarié: the tubular ends with the two ends crossing in the upper part where we find two shimmers with a teardrop cut always surrounded by a glaze of enamel. The collection has now expanded with the use of pink gold and pink enamel, with oval and marquise cut diamonds. Alessia Mongrando

Fidia jewels, Florentine goldsmithery

Published on January 30, 2020

Showroom/Design

Anelli in oro rosa e pietre semi preziose

From the ancient traditions of Florentine goldsmithery to modern jewelery: the path of Fidia gioielli ♦ ︎
A tradition that comes straight from the Renaissance artisans. And, in addition, the desire for innovation typical of young people. In 1988 Simone Innocenti entered the artisan goldsmith workshop of his father, Sergio Innocenti, with the desire to update the technology, but without losing the creative capacity of the ancient goldsmith shops, where the activity is marked by the work of a master craftsman. That is, the two sides of the same coin or, if you prefer, of the same ring.

The activity of the founder of the workshop, now evolved into a small company, began in the post-war period in the ancient district of San Frediano. Sergio Innocenti was very young when he took his first steps in an old artisan workshop, where he learned the secrets of gold and precious stones. And, in particular, the Florentine style, with the techniques of repoussage, fretwork and inlay. But also in the processing of glazes. Become skilled and with experienced, Innocenti at the beginning of the seventies he set up his own business. And he succeeded in highlighting himself: for Settepassi Faraone he created five unique gold pieces, designed by great Italian designers, including the Great Pyramid in gold, silver and plexiglass, exhibited in Palazzo Strozzi in 1980 for the exhibition Design with gold. He also worked for the Bulgari maison, with pieces made of silver, onyx and white maple wood. In short, a long career, studded with many awards. A story that continues. Lavinia Andorno

The new Sentimentals collection by Solange Azagury-Partridge

Published on November 28, 2019

Rings/Showroom

Solange Azagury-Partridge is a London designer who has been following a different path for 25 years. Perhaps because she has in her background a story linked to the world of art and considers jewels as abstract sculptures, but also attracted by symbols and allusions, while she shuns the ostentation of luxury. Her new collection, which is called Sentimentals, is no exception to this rule.

MY LOVE RING rubini — My Love ring, oro giallo e rubini

In this case the feelings are associated with jewels inspired by objects or people (family, children, friends) that have sentimental value. The collection consists of 26 rings, five necklaces, three earrings, one bangle and a vermeil and lacquer box. Each piece has its place in Solange’s feelings. For example, the Miracle ring, or the Memento Mori pendant, the Love Heart ring, the Baby earrings. The jewels are made of gold, precious stones, but also enamels or lacquer, as is the style of Solange.

Denti da latte incastonati in oro giallo 18 carati sparsi con otturazioni di diamanti

The history of the designer in the world of jewelry is long. In practice, it started when she designed the engagement ring herself and received the first requests from friends. Her London boutique was opened in 1995 and is frequented by loyal customers, who work especially in the field of creativity.

Half a century of enamels with Gabriella Rivalta

Orecchini dipinti a amano con smalto e oro 18 carati

Gabriella Rivalta’s hand-painted jewels with colored enamel on gold or silver turn 50 years ♦ ︎

Laughing and brushing have passed 50. On the other hand, when you work and have fun, when you are creative, when you live in an environment of your own, time passes quickly. It was 1969 when the young Gabriella Rivalta decided to dedicate herself body and soul to painting. But instead of canvas she chose metal, gold. And instead of tempera or oil colors, she opted for enamels.

Of course, it is not easy to paint many jewels by hand, one by one. But this is what this small atelier does in an ancient farmhouse building in Casale Monferrato, deep in Piedmont.

A completely peaceful place, out of time just like Gabriella Rivalta’s illuminated gold jewels: pendants, bracelets, necklaces that have nature as their main subject, but not only. For jewels of an explicitly romantic nature, which seems to have come directly from a century ago, the little Maison has over time added even more modern pieces, but always characterized by hand finishing, which makes the jewels different from one another. Prices: the bracelets with leather lace and painted silver pendants start at around 250 euros, up to the coordinated necklace and earrings set in 18-carat gold, hand-painted pink with high-fire enamels, pearls and central ruby, which reaches 1790 euros.

Sicis, orecchini con minuscole tessere di micromosaico in pasta vetrosa, uniti a pietre preziose e oro

Tiny pieces of gold, enamel, stones are used to compose the Etoile collection by Sicis ♦ ︎

Tiny pieces of micromosaic in glassy paste, combined with precious stones and gold. It looks like an alchemic formula and, basically, it is. The tradition of mosaic, and then of micromosaic, is ancient. But it requires considerable manual skill, which only those with long experience can understand and translate into work. Even more so when it comes to jewels, such as those proposed by Sicis, a company based in Ravenna, a city that preserves wonderful Byzantine mosaics in its churches.

The new collection that uses the micromosaic technique is called Etoile and, it could not be otherwise, reproduces five-pointed gold stars, elaborated in the colors and shades of blue and black. The tiles, infinitely small, are enameled, hand-made by art masters who combine them one by one together with precious stones. They are composed in this way complex glue, or more simple, combined with laces, rings and earrings. M.d.B.

Chantecler, anello della collezione Paillettes

The renewed Paillettes collection by Chantecler. Rings, necklaces and bracelets that move like the waves of the sea of Capri ♦ ︎

Once the paillettes, used in tailoring, were small discs of colored plastic material, capable of throwing reflections, applied on clothes. From a couple of years, however, Paillettes is also the name of a collection of Chantecler, a historic brand that feels the island of Capri, in the Mediterranean, as its base, but also as its style. The Dolce Vita of the Fifties and Sixties is a myth that has been transformed, for Chantecler, into the famous bells. But not only: the Paillettes collection is just one of those lines of jewelry that maintains the joy associated with the way of life caprese, but in a new way. Last fall Chantecler renewed the collection with new jewels.

Rings, necklaces and earrings are made in gold with white, green, pink, black and turquoise sky circles, with the addition of some diamond pavé.

But a characteristic of the collection is the tremblant setting. The sequins or, better, the individual circles, can show small oscillations that add movement to the jewel and therefore cause more attention. The color of the circles is made with the cathedral enamel technique, the same used in the Art Nouveau jewels. The necklaces can also be transformed into multicolored bracelets, in chokers.

Roberto Bravo cultivates the black orchid

La modella russa Victoria Bonya con la collezione Black Orchid

A collection of jewelry dedicated to the rare black orchid: the brand Roberto Bravo proposes it ♦

Delirium from orchid or even orchidelirium. Flowers can drive you crazy and orchidelirium is the name given to the Victorian era of madness for these tropical flowers. Collecting orchids had become a real mania: there were also those who sent explorers and collectors in the most distant corners of the world in search of new varieties of orchids. Not only that: the orchids were and are still considered symbols of love and also a sinful sexual symbol. So much so that in some European countries orchids were used as a key ingredient in love potions. But, in particular, the black orchids symbolize admiration, respect, dignity and royalty.

This introduction on orchids is due to the collection dedicated by the Roberto Bravo brand to the black orchid.

Gold, enamel and stones are used to create particularly bright and showy jewels. Roberto Bravo is a brand of Italian origin, now managed directly from Istanbul, Turkey. It is distributed in Milan, but especially in Eastern Europe and the East. Alessia Mongrando

The new bracelet by Selim Mouzannar presented at Couture and other novelties by the famous Lebanese jeweler ♦

It is when winter comes that increases the nostalgia for the water of the Mediterranean Sea. The blue waves of the sea where civilization was born, is now transformed into a necklace by Selim Mouzannar, designer of a Lebanese family of jewelers. Although it has outlets in France, United States, Great Britain and Switzerland, Selim Mouzannar has maintained his headquarters in Beirut, because of the link with the culture that overlooks the banks of the sea. To the sea, now, has dedicated a series of the same color of the crystal waters. According to the jeweler, in this jewel has summarized the different shades of blue Mediterranean: as the sea near the island of Hydra, in Greece, to Formentera in Spain, of the French Riviera… It took three months of work to compose the necklace Mediterranean, made in 18K yellow gold, diamonds, sapphires, aquamarines, turquoise. But, as you can see from the pictures, the creativity of the brand Lebanon does not stop there: he also won a prize at the Couture Awards in Las Vegas in 2016. Matilde de Bounvilles

Golden Pomi, but also with Silver

Showroom/Rings

Pomi’s jewels, Vicenza brand that smiles at the Millenials trend with the smile’s rings ♦

Claudio Pomi, owner of the jewelery company that has his name, he emphasizes that her craft business is “all-male, but very attentive to the needs of the female universe.” Difficult to establish a strict link between the two issues, but the fact is that Pomi only produces jewelery for women. The brand is one of many who flock to the area around Vicenza and specializes in the production of rings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces and earrings through processing slab, cast, pressed, electroforming, as specified in the identity card of company. In any case, Pomi has cut its market niche. She was born in 2004, with the aim of “creating something that was recognizable, and only made by Pomi.” And the road appears linked to that of a patent: the Lapplesite, ie a special material created by a natural resin used to recompose natural powders ebony type, cocoa, coffee, turquoise, agate powders whose mechanical characteristics are such to allow various applications. This patent is applied, in particular, to the line of jewelry Silver (the other is the Gold Line). As the name implies, the Silver Line is entirely made of silver, handmade, “reproduces sculptures where hearts, circles, ovals, spirals are the background and frame to create earrings, jewelry necklaces and rings very original.” Lavinia Andorno

Freywille gives enamel to Monet and Klimt

Monet and Klimt together in Vienna. On jewels with enamel and gold plated by Freywille ♦ ︎
In Vienna the jewel is also synonymous with enamel. Freywille, founded in 1951 by artist Michaela Frey, has become a jewelery that is now part of the tradition and has created a style. Its gold-plated jewels and, above all, decorated with brightly colored enamels are unmistakable. Now Freywille is expanding its offer with Helena pendants. Of course, the pendants are inspired by the work of famous painters.
The choice is the result of the marriage born in the 1970s between Michaela Frey, who wanted to focus on the creative part, and Friedrich Wille, who managed the company and internationalized the brand. After the death of Michaela Frey in 1980, Wille became the owner of the company and asked another artist, Simone Grünberger (then Grünberger-Wille) to create a new line of jewelery. Graduated in Design at the Applied Arts University, Grünberger-Wille developed the enamel technique. Among her choices is also to dedicate jewels to the work of other painters. And here are bracelets, rings and pendants that evoke the traits of Monet, Klimt or Alphonse-Mucha. Prices: pendants, which can also be purchased online, cost 485 euros, bracelets 835 euros.

Anello Flamingo, oro, diamanti, smalto e opale di fuoco

The jeweler-artist Ilgiz Fazulzyanov opens a boutique in the center of Paris ♦ ︎
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the bond between the people of the great country joining the West and the East, and Paris, became closer. Between the French capital and the elites of St. Petersburg and Moscow there was a secular liaison, which consolidated over time. Now the tuning also reaches the high jewelery. Ilgiz Fazulzyanov, a Russian artist, designer and jeweler, has opened a boutique in Paris, not far from Faubourg Saint-Honoré. On the other hand, Paris is the capital of the high jewelery and Ilgiz Fazulzyanov is the best-known maker of unique pieces, where it uses enamel beside big stones. Fazulzyanov’s jewels are also entangled with the Russian spirit, an ancient tradition that continues to live through the fancy of the jeweler.
After graduating from the Kazan University, Fazulzyanov was specialized in filigree technique, that has a tradition in Tatarstan. The style is almost Art Nouveau, with large flowers, animals, colors and soft shapes. The Kremlin has acquired six of its jewelery-masterpieces for its permanent collection. If you want to buy your jewels, however, you have to be ready for effort, at least if your finances are not particularly well-supplied. Jewelry prices start from 10,000 euros. Rudy Serra

Antorà’s cufflinks, Catania’s brand that conquered the world ♦ ︎
Cufflinks? I’m no longer a jewel only for a man. There are women who wear shirts and show up glittering cufflinks on the wrist: they certainly do not go unnoticed. Among jewelers specialists in precious closures for shirts there is Antonio Rapisarda: he designs and produces cufflinks since 2001, when he decided to create Antorà. An unusual choice, as is not usual the location: Catania. The city of Sicily, just below the Etna volcano, has thus become a destination for the gentleman who wants to add a touch of elegance to his clothing, but also for women who want to get out of the scheme. Antorà’s twins are in gold and silver, enriched with enamel, diamonds or precious stones, and with imaginative shapes. Not only that: the designer jeweler Sicilian has also invented a very different line, Les Montres, which replaces cufflinks with small clock mechanisms. From Catania, the jeweler has managed to conquer half world: almost half of his twins are sold abroad, a quarter in the United States. Alessia Mongrando

In spite of the very Italian name, Alice Cicolini (full name: Alice Cicolini Strazzeri) was born in London and is a perfect example of British style, love of tradition and to the exotic appeal of India. What could be more British than afternoon tea and an Indian mezzaro resting on the couch? Or the Alice Cicolini jewelry, made and inspired by the ancient techniques of Jaipur, where she realize his creations. The technique of using enamel on jewelry, called meenakari, is entrusted to one of the last skilled craftsmen of Rajasthan, who worked for the Maharaja. This technique is known in Europe as champleve. Tradition meenakari of enamel also includes metal engraving. In India, artisans prefer to work on a 23.5-carat gold, because it is softer and the use of enamels built traditions are passed down within families as a secret. The enamel is a combination of land, the pigmented glass and metal, then polished with agate stone to create colors extraordinarily vivid and rich. It is most commonly applied to the back of jewelery, where precious stones like diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds are on the line. The meenakari is also known as the Secret, an intimate dialogue with the wearer of the gem.
Interest Alice Cicolini are not focused only on the jewelry: she is in love with the architecture and sacred ancient Silk Road. She is also the author of a book on English dandyism, The New Inglese Dandy, to the publisher Thames & Hudson. And she is also a research associate at the Central St Martins, where she graduated in 2009 with a Masters in Jewellery Design. Finally, she was director of Art & Culture for the British Council in India. Cosimo Muzzano

Mitsuo Kaji, new enamels are coming

Published on November 6, 2016

Showroom

New jewels are coming from Mitsuo Kaji, the artist of the Japanese jewelery.
For 2017 Mitsuo Kaji has prepared a new line of jewelry that combines Eastern and Western culture, which combine in the French and Japanese lacquer enamel miniatures. And soon, announces, will launch a new line of jades, unique by number of varieties and colors.
Not everyone in the West know the capacity of this brilliant artist of the jewel. Running from a clear concept: “The jewels that are loved continue to shine for more than 100 years.” In short, jewelery (but this word is an understatement to call them) able to withstand time thanks to their beauty, like a painting or a sculpture.
To get to create pieces so unusual, Mitsuo Kaji organized a double cross: East and West, the Ancient and the Modern. The result is an original and elaborate style but, alas, one sipped production. He, however, has not intention to give up this way of understanding the jewels. Indeed, he himself is a collector of Japanese antique jewelry, according to him too little known to the general public. An idealist? A Zen philosopher? A goldsmith’s art monk? None of this: in 1964 Mitsuo was a pop singer, and has recorded hit records. But, at the request of his father, who had a jewelry-watch store in Osaka, he has retired from the music world and has begun to manage the family business. The key change has been his degree at Gia, in the United States, to which he added a specialization in Emaux, enamels. So from the success in the Japanese pop Mitsuo Kaji has found success in the art of jewelry. Giulia Netrese
