Vania Leles, the African soul of gems

Published on October 14, 2020

Girocollo in oro giallo e diamanti della collezione Sahara

Rubies, emeralds, diamonds: these are the colors of Africa for Vania Leles, which uses gems of origin that are responsible for high-class jewelery signed VanLeles ♦

Africa for Vania Leles, born in Guinea-Bissau, means two things: pride and precious stones, with which she also realizes collections of fine jewelry. Also for this reason, for example, a couple of years ago, she created a collection of six high-jewelery pieces with emeralds and diamonds from Zambia from the Gemfields mines, which boasts a process of ethical acquisition of stones. The collection pays tribute to Dido Elizabeth Belle, who was born in slavery in the West Indies in 1761, but was liberated and raised in London, and for Sarah Forbes Bonetta, who was presented as a “gift” to Queen Victoria in 1850 and later grown up as the queen’s goddaughter. In short, stories of slavery of other times. But that Vania, of dark skin, wanted to remember. The latest collection, instead, is called Sahara: dedicated to the desert, it is made of gold and diamonds.

Fortunately, the designer had a different story: she was a model for Saint Laurent. But then she decided that jewels were more interesting than life on the catwalk and she studied at the Gemological Institute of America and then worked for Graff and De Beers. How to say that it started from above. Having learned her trade, she opened an atelier in New Bond Street, London. Her jewels are top top top, as you can see from the images on this page.

Orecchini della Muzo collection in oro e smeraldi

The jewels between culture and pomp of Coomi, from India to the USA. Now with a new collection with Colombian emeralds by Muzo ♦

From the fané palaces of Mumbai to the busy avenues of New York or Los Angeles: Coomi Bhasin is an Indian designer who in 1977 left her native country (with much nostalgia) and founded her jewelry company in the USA. It is a strange mix of style and philosophy: textile designer, architect and landscape architect, she brought her experiences into the world of jewelry.

It is no coincidence that she defines herself as a Renaissance woman, that is, capable of creating and reasoning on many different tracks of culture. Her jewelry brand has been active since 2002 and has not struggled to find a prominent place not only in the United States, but also abroad. Her degree in Art History led her to create collections that are inspired by antiquity, from the world of the Egyptians to Greek and Roman sculpture. But not only, as the Muzo collection shows, with Colombian emeralds extracted from the mining company. Friend and appreciated by many celebrities, Coomi has found a balance between History with a capital S and the stories (with a lowercase s) of actors and actresses. At the bottom of Mumbay the most thriving industry is that of Bollywood. Alessia Mongrando

From Russia with love: the fairytale jewels of Ichien, a small Maison in Moscow ♦ ︎
Like other Russian Maison, Ichien is not widely known in the West. Yet it is worth looking closely at the work of the company founded in Moscow in 2008. Its name, first of all: it is in honor of the founder and chief designer of the Mher Karapetyan Tigranovich brand, known as Ichien, born and lived in the small Armenian town of Echmiadzin. He then studied at the Art College of Yerevan in the Faculty of Painting. In 1999 he moved to Moscow and for two years he studied at the art institute named after VI Surikov. As he recounts, his path in jewelry began in the library of the Surikov Institute.

Studying the art of the early twentieth century in the library, in one of the books the young man saw the sketches of Alfons Mucha’s jewels. And from that moment he attended the institute’s library just to study the jewels. “I was very lucky,” he says today. “From the beginning I met and made friends with jewelers who were very demanding about fairness and quality of work and were anxious to do something new. With them he started working and at the same time studying jewelry “.
The young Armenian designer then went to India and Taiwan, where he studied acupuncture and painting. In India, he met the Zen Master, who gave him a new name: Ichien. The word in Chinese means “a look”. In 2008 Mher-Ichien returned to Moscow and opened the company that bears his new name. His work has already received awards from major international jewelry design competitions, in particular the Hong Kong Design Excellence Awards. Alessia Mongrando

New jewels for Salvini’s I Segni collection with emeralds, sapphires and rubies ♦

When a jewel likes it it is a sign that its shape is appreciated. When then the signs are many, it is obvious that the appreciation is repeated. As in the I Segni collection by Salvini, which is periodically re-proposed with variations. After the pink gold and mother-of-pearl version, Salvini presented a new series of jewels in addition to those in the collection.

The protagonists, this time, are the precious stones: rubies, emeralds and sapphires, which are added to white gold and diamonds. The new jewels include rings and necklaces with a cross-shaped pendant. At the moment, the heart, butterfly and four-leaf clover, which are present in the jewels of the rest of the collection and also give the name to the line, are therefore signs indicating love or luck. The I Segni collection is a continuation of the maison, which is part of the Damiani group, and which over the years has become an icon of Italian jewelry. Lavinia Andorno

The Beaumont Queen necklace by Sotheby’s

Published on May 16, 2019

COLLANE/news

An Art Deco emerald necklace sold for $ 3.6 million was the star of the Sotheby’s auction in Geneva ♦ ︎

A record for Art Deco jewels and a record for antique jewels. The Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels auction organized by Sotheby’s in Geneva ended with sales of over 42 million dollars. They found an owner 80% of the proposed pieces and 60% with prices higher than the starting estimate.

The star of the auction was an art deco necklace created in the 1930s for Hélène Beaumont (1894 – 1988), an American socialite friend of the Duchess of Windsor. The necklace of emeralds and diamonds was sold for 3.6 million dollars, more than double the price reached when it was first sold in auction in 1994. The series consists of a row of 11 Colombian emerald cabochons, of the total weight of over 75 carats, perfectly matched both in color and in proportions. These exceptional gemstones are combined with geometric diamonds in an Art Deco design. Although it is not signed, the jewel is attributed to Van Cleef & Arpels, as were many other pieces of his Beaumont collection. The central sections of emeralds and diamonds in the necklace can be detached and worn as bracelets.

Tonight we saw the enduring appeal of outstanding Art Deco jewellery. The Beaumont necklace is “the Chrysler building of jewellery”, instantly recognisable as an Art Deco masterpiece, and in my opinion, the greatest emerald and diamond necklace of the period. I had the privilege to sell it a quarter of a century ago and achieving this landmark result tonight is a further testament to its absolute and timeless beauty.
David Bennett, president of Sotheby’s Worldwide Jewelery

Tiara di diamanti -attribuita a Fabergé, circa 1903

In addition to the Beaumont necklace, a Fabergé diamond tiara was sold for over $ 434,000 (the maximum was 300,000). The diadem was made for the marriage of the last Prussian hereditary princess, the duchess Cecilie von Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1886-1954), on the occasion of her marriage to the crown prince William (1882-1951), son of Kaiser Wilhelm II , in Berlin, in June 1905.

In addition to the Beaumont necklace, the auction saw the success of other Art Deco jewels. A set of earrings with Colombian emeralds with a cushion weight of 17.0 and 17.71 carats respectively in Art Deco style were sold for $ 972,934. and a Cartier bracelet from 1933, with coral and diamonds, doubled the pre-sale estimate to $ 148,918.

White gold pink sapphire (7.39 ct), blue sapphire (1.32) and diamond (7.65 ct) earrings set in white gold

Four exceptional pieces of fine jewelry presented by Maison Picchiotti ♦ ︎

There are jewels that are like novels: observing, scrutinizing them, reading their history is tantamount to evading (almost) the simple price factor. Diving into the stones, on the realization, in the design that composes their prose can be an instructive as well as pleasant pastime. This is the case of most of the jewels created by Maison Picchiotti in Valenza. The production of its high jewelry, so rich above all in meaning and aesthetic sense, goes beyond common considerations: they are exceptional, unique pieces. Dot.

Often Picchiotti surprises his fans, even before the customers, showing some of the best pieces on some occasions, like Baselworld.

White gold emerald (45.91 ct) and diamond (28.07 ct) necklace set in white gold

Thus among the proposals of the Maison this year new pieces of the Picchiotti Classics line appeared on which it is worth stopping: for example, the two defined as Fit to a Queen. It is a pair of earrings and a necklace that have a combination of classicism and, at the same time, of extraordinary nature that makes them masters of their own realm of jewelry. They are made of white gold, baguette-cut diamonds and emeralds with an unusual octagonal cut. The geometric lines that make up these pieces are reminiscent of two other jewels of the same line: the Hadi Pyramis pendant earrings and necklace, characterized by fascinating pink and blue sapphires, with a sparkling effect created by emerald and round cut diamonds. Even these from standing ovations.

Earrings with 12 emeralds by Antonini and other Extraordinaire jewels made with the green gem ♦ ︎

One thing is certain: green is an extraordinary color. It is the hue of the leaves, of the woods, of the forests. But also some sea beds, many foods and, last but not least, emeralds. Perhaps this is why Antonini has dedicated some pieces of his Extraordinaire line to this precious stone.
This is the haute couture production of the Milanese Maison. These are unique pieces that every year Sergio Antonini combines with other collections. Sophisticated design and particularly fascinating stones are the ingredients of these jewels.

For example, a pair of earrings with 12 round-cut emeralds, ending with a rhodium-plated white gold pendant covered with diamonds, is the latest Extraordinaire creation.

And that the emerald is one of the stones that most stimulate the designer of the Milanese house is witnessed by the fact that other haute couture jewels use the green gem. Like the ring that has a cushion-cut emerald in the center, surrounded in turn by a surface covered by other small emeralds, a mosaic that seems to have come directly from the forests of the Amazon.

High jewelery bracelets with built-in clock: the de Grisogono Cascata collection ♦ ︎

They are not watches. Or, more precisely, they are clocks that are indifferent to time. Ok, the technical data indicate that inside there also seems to be a quartz movement that ensures a Swiss precision. But who will wear the three copies of the Cascata collection by the Maison de Genève de Grisogono to see what time it is? These timepiece jewels guarantee more a pleasant aesthetic sensation than an interest in punctuality. They are also jewels full of secrets.

Inside these watch-bracelets there is a golden wire structure studded with precious stones which is at the base of the watch’s silhouette.

Collezione Cascata. Orologio bracciale con cassa in oro rosa con 128 rubini a taglio brillante, 126 ametiste a taglio brillante e 72 ametiste ovali. Quadrante: set con 148 ametiste. Oro rosa chiusura pieghevole con 95 ametiste

That’s why the collection has this name: Cascata. Small jewels studded with 126 brilliant cut diamonds support the 72 oval cut gemstones of a bezel. The claws dominate and punctuate a cascade of stones for a total of over 30 carats, creating a continuum in scale that defines the contours of the oval shape of the watch and reveals the dial encrusted with 148 gems set in snow. The strap is in galuchat.
In short, high jewelry or high watchmaking? To guarantee the most dense setting and to make the gems appear in an inseparable succession, the Maison de Grisogono explains the goldsmiths craftsmen took almost a hundred hours to cut the stones in an oval shape.

I could spend hours simply observing the choreography of the hands, the harmonious dance of the fingers that unite and give life to the materials.
Fawaz Gruosi

The set griffe, the embellished dial with the snow-set and the sculpted caseback with diamond volutes required a 50-hour work for the oval cut stones and 20 hours for the claws and the snow-set of the case back and the scrolls. The bracelet with minutes and seconds is offered in three versions: white gold and white diamonds, white gold with emeralds on top and white diamonds below, pink gold with amethysts on top and rubies underneath. The buckle has new aesthetic lines specially designed to match the philosophy of the Cascata watch: in the center is a rosette cut gem of over one carat framed by a pavé.

The new Cartier crocodiles

Published on November 25, 2018

COLLANE/alta gioielleria/Showroom

An exceptional set of high jewelry signed by Cartier, with 14 Colombian emeralds ♦ ︎

A piece of jewelry that made history has inspired a new exceptional Cartier parure. This is a suite composed of necklace, ring and earrings inspired by the famous necklace made by Cartier in 1975 for the Mexican actress María Félix.

The high jewelry set has a set of 14 emeralds from Colombia.

The emeralds of the jewels, which reflect the shape of the crocodile, weigh a total of 46.45 carats. They are stones considered out of the norm, that is of exceptional beauty and uniformity. To the 14 large emeralds used, they are added with the shape of pearls, always of an intense green color. Also the sculptural aspect of the jewels is valuable, with the crocodile that seems ready to bite those who approach (but it will not happen). Not only that: by stretching the back part towards the tail, the pieces of the necklace can be wrapped around the neck, wrist or finger, or be suspended like a pair of dangling earrings. The legs of the animal, like its scales, have been specially designed to be comfortable even in contact with the skin.

This high jewelry crocodile is inspired, as mentioned above, in the necklace created in 1975 for María Félix.

It is a piece that is now part of the history of the Maison, in the Cartier Collection. The necklace consisted of two completely articulated crocodiles, one with emerald pavé and the other with yellow diamonds. In addition to gold, for this necklace we have used 1023 fancy bright brilliant-cut diamonds of 60.02ct, two cabochon emeralds (eyes), another 1060 emeralds, total weight of 66.86ct, two cabochon rubies (eyes) . Each crocodile is completely articulated and can be worn like a brooch. Lavinia Andorno

The 25th anniversary of the Maison de Genève, de Grisogono, enhances the refined techniques used for the creations of high jewelery ♦ ︎

The Swiss Maison de Grisogono celebrated its first 25 years in 2018. It is natural that the birthday is celebrated by emphasizing its virtues. In particular those applied to high jewelery. One of the aspects that distinguish de Grisogono’s jewels, for example, is to introduce stones from the original cuts, with a surprising variety of colors and proposed in many unusual combinations.
But not only: another important aspect is the ability to limit the use of the metal necessary to block a precious stone to the bare minimum. In many de Grisogono jewels, gold or platinum is almost invisible, so that the stones can be placed side by side as close as possible. As in the case of the ring you see below, with a circle of pear-shaped gems, a burst of baguette edged with brilliantly cut counterparts, prongs studded with gems and imposing central stones.

The Bella collection by Giovanni Ferraris, beautiful like the colors of nature and the dew drops ♦ ︎
What is beauty? The question, at first glance, seems silly. But it is not. First of all beauty is the result of a set of aspects, quality, parameters. Furthermore, it can vary over time from one culture to another. There are, however, some canons of beauty that seem immutable or, at least, are recurring over the centuries and common to different cultures. One of these beauty models is linked to nature and colors. Difficult to find cultures or people who do not find the nuances of a landscape fascinating. Or, as far as jewelery is concerned, the colors of precious stones.
Combine the two concepts: jewelery and aesthetic sense, and here is the Bella collection by Giovanni Ferraris, seen at Baselworld 2018. The Bella collection is, in fact, beautiful. Play on what are the basic colors of jewelry, namely those of sapphires, rubies and emeralds. Blue, red, green. To which are added the white of the diamonds and the shades of gold, white or pink. Even the shape of the jewels recalls that of nature, with drops that form long spikes or small ovals scattered like wildflowers. Note the detail of the drop-shaped setting in burnished gold.

Butani in the sky of jewelry with Empyrean, between diamonds and precious stones ♦ ︎
At Baselworld 2018 Butani presented the Empyrean high jewelery collection. This is a novelty compared to the tradition of the Hong Kong Maison. According to Butani, the collection is a shock to who the idea that high jewelry is to be worn ever in combinations. In short, Empyrean is aimed at a younger audience, or at least with a less traditional taste.
But this is certainly not unimaginative jewelry. On the contrary, it is a collection of great impact, which draws greater strength from the novelties presented by Butani: in addition to the usual round diamonds with brilliant cut, this time Butani chose to make necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings with diamonds in the shape of pear, fancy and precious stones, including ruby, emerald and sapphire. The result is a collection that has great visibility. Includes pendant earrings and earcuff, bracelets with diamonds designed to be individually or together, according to the needs, necklaces in the shape of thin diamond choker or with pendants of precious stones.

A concept as from the Mosaic collection by Sutra: the Indian Maison, based in Mumbai and Austin, Texas, offers jewelry that always has stones of great charm at its center. In the Mosaic collection, for example, can be opals the individual elements that make up a jewel. The collection plays on two shades: blue and red. As in the bracelet with 75 karats of opals, 7 karats of sapphires and 6 carats of diamonds mounted on 18-carat white gold. But not only: the earrings, for example, have a mosaic made of turquoise, emeralds and diamonds, always on white gold, as well as a bracelet.

The Buriti collection by Brumani, dedicated to a splendid Brazilian palm ♦ ︎
Under a palm tree overlooking a beautiful white sand bay, you are stretched out in front of the transparent water, waiting to dive into the waves or sip a cold drink. It is not a dream reserved only for tourists, but also for Brazilians themselves. And Brumani, a brand with deep roots (it’s right word) in the traditions of the South American country, has decided to dedicate a collection to the typical palm of the country, the Buriti. It is a tall and elegant tree, with huge leaves that fan out and is considered the most beautiful palm that exists. His name, adds Brumani, means “the one that contains water”, because it grows next to rivers and streams. Buriti is a native of the Amazonian rainforest regions in the Cerrado area of central Brazil, while Brumani grew up in São Paulo. But it does not matter: the Buriti collection has a design that perfectly recalls the leaves of this palm, symbol of Brazilian biodiversity and landscape. The collection comes in two versions, one in white gold, studded with diamonds, and the other with diamonds and emeralds. Lavinia Andorno

Mystery on the diamond and emerald necklace worn by Kate Middleton at Bafta ♦ ︎
A thriller at the Bafta, the event that is considered the British answer to the Oscars in Los Angeles. But it’s not a movie. As all the newspapers reported, Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton, his wife, were present at the ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Everyone focused on the baby bump (Kate is waiting for her third child, who will be born in April) and on her dress: she did not wear a black dress as a sign of protest for violence against women, but dark green, because according to the protocol members of the Royal House can not take political positions in public situations. For the record, the dress was signed by Jenny Packham. But few have noticed another aspect: the necklace and earrings of diamonds and emeralds worn by the duchess. No official statement specified the origin of the jewel worn for the first time by Kate Middleton. Someone has speculated that it is one of the many jewels owned by Queen Elizabeth and lent for the occasion to the wife of the nephew. Could be. But the fact is that no known image portrays the queen with that jewel, but with other diamond and emerald necklaces. The mystery remains. Alessia Mongrando

White diamonds, a classic by Crivelli, are flanked by fancy varieties, but also sapphires, rubies, emeralds, apatites, paraibe … The jewels of the Valenza house presented at VicenzaOro widen the eye to the world of color. The series takes the name of Suggestioni Cromatiche 3. Nothing but a name, which lets you talk about the combination of stones mounted on jewelry with classic, rich, without the fear of being excessively exuberant. Necklaces with great use of emeralds, chandelier earrings with long lines of precious stones and, of course, even jewels made up exclusively of white diamonds. Perhaps the idea of presenting high jewelery collections with a number of numbered catalogs will not be romantic, but what matters is the final product.
Born on the initiative of Bruno Crivelli, who decided to make the leap from the artisan to the great Maison, the company continues in this way, even with the new Suggestioni cromatiche, on the path traced by the founder. Alessia Mongrando

The circles of Gismondi 1754

Anello della collezione Aura in oro lucido

Gismondi 1754, a long history between concentric circles and a stage with Jane Fonda ♦ ︎
It’s September 19, 2017: Jane Fonda at the Emmy Awards wears an impressive set of diamonds and emeralds. The signature is that of a jeweler from Genoa, Gismondi 1754. Who almost ran the risk of losing this global stage: the Rugiada jewelery set, designed by the owner and designer of the Ligurian Maison, Massimo Gismondi, the day before the ceremony, was still in Italy. After the final approval in Portofino, the necklace and the matching earrings were sent to the historic boutique in Genoa for the last control and the insurance procedure, before taking them to the United States, where the Hollywood star finally wore it. To make these jewels it took 600 hours of work of ten artisans.
The history of Ligurian jewelery starts from afar. It began with Gio Batta Gismondi, in 1754, a goldsmith in Genoa. From father to son, the goldsmith’s shop continued its activity, initially with a specialization in silverware and religious jewelery. Until 1995, when Massimo Gismondi joined the company together with his uncle. In 2011, however, decided to separate, while remaining on good terms, to focus on luxury jewelry. And this is how Gismondi 1754 has become a luxury jewelery brand with boutiques in Portofino, St. Moritz and London. Graduated in gemology in 1994, Gismondi specialized in jewelry with diamonds, pearls and colored stones. But he also prefers the pure design of the jewel, as evidenced by one of his latest collections, Aura, played on the geometry of concentric circles in gold, enamel and diamonds. Giulia Netrese

Crivelli jewelry made of diamonds and precious stones in the tradition of Valenza ♦ ︎
Flowers, love and fantasy. More diamonds, precious stones and so much gold. The Maison Crivelli shows out for the fall-winter 2017 with a renewed dress and revised collections. The style of collections, however, is always that: value jewels, made with gold and white or colored diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, apatites, paraibe. Rings, necklaces and bracelets were divided into three different groups, according to different chromatic suggestions.

In the case of the second group of chromatic suggestions, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires are also used in a floral form, with stones that in some cases form petals and pistils. More generally, they are jewels of the classic Valenza tradition, built around the idea of durability over time, as well as the delight of drawing and matching the various elements that make up the piece.

Giorgio Visconti’s Allure jewelery line: diamonds and precious stones are transformed into flowers ♦ ︎
Allure is a French word that means charm, portamento, distinguished trait, elegance. It was no coincidence that Giorgio Visconti was chosen by one of the 21 jewelery brands in Futuro, the largest collection presented at VicenzaOro September (see also Giorgio Visconti, the future for 21). Within Futuro, there is also a long tradition, understood as a tradition. And the line of jewels that takes the name of Allure testifies to the choice of staying within the classical jewelery binaries. White or pink gold and diamonds with brilliant cut forming petals of flowers that turn into rings, necklaces and earrings. But not only: next to the white diamonds appear the colors of the same classical precious stones, such as rubies, emeralds and sapphires. Everything very clean, all very bright, all with lots of allure. Margherita Donato
