The couture jewels (and beyond) by Rina Limor, a New York designer who was inspired by Dolce Vita.

As it says Dolce Vita in New York? To find out, the jewelry designer Rina Limor in the seventies has spent long periods in Italy. But, besides admiring the Tuscan landscape, the artistic beauty of the city (and, hopefully, also the kitchen), she has occupied the time by contacting material manufacturers for jewelery, goldsmiths, setters, and so on. The pleasure of the style of Italy’s pleasure-loving, along with her creativity and to the American taste for conspicuous jewelry, has created the style of Rina Limor, now established signature in the panorama of the New York luxury. His proposal is quite wide, ranging from tubogas bracelets or large chains, spare special couture line.

Emeralds, rubies, diamonds and Paraiba tourmalines are used unsparingly. As in jewelry made with a cluster of stones, in some cases cut with fancy shapes, that is, outside of the traditional standards. The effect is unusual, but pleasant. Prices, of course, are what you can expect for luxury jewelry in New York. Giulia Netrese

The colorful and bright jewels by Sunny Jain, Indian by birth but American by adoption, who created Bavna ♦

Sunny by name and by nature. The jewelry designed by Sunny Jain are bright like the sun that illuminates California, where the designer has grown. The love for bright colors, the Bavna designer has acquired since childhood, from his jewelers family originating in India, where he was born. Sunny Jain, in short, has grown up in the midst of jewelry and immediately felt attracted by the colorful world of gems. Yet before turning to rings and necklaces he wanted to graduate in medicine, his second passion. Perhaps the ability to see inside the human body he also added the ability to interpret the soul of the great colored stones used for collections of Bavna, who created in 2011.

A curiosity: the name Bavna in ancient Sanskrit means “good intentions”, it is also his mother’s name, to which the designer is very attached. Her jewelry, often unique pieces designed around stones with unique color were appreciated by Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Rihanna, Camila Alves, Eva Mendes, Halle Berry, Christina Hendricks, Kim Kardashian and Anne Hathaway.

Gurhan, fable with 24 carat

Published on November 1, 2020

Orecchini in argento sterling stratificato con oro 24 carati e pietre di quarzo druzy

A 24-carat gold and hand-crafted worked by the jewelry designer Gurhan.

As in fairy tales, there is a humble artisan who lives in a distant country, Istanbul. And there’s a romantic woman who comes yet to farther, from Australia. The two fall in love and after a few months is born a jewelery. The story started in this way. And now the jewels from the city of Turkey are moved to the lobes, fingers and neck of an impressive array of celebrity, from actresses like Angelina Jolie to public figures like Hillary Clinton. It is the story of Gurhan, who calls himself a “citizen of the world, Renaissance thinker, inquisitive explorer, fashionista, fond of rock music, traveler, photographer, political junkie, a tech geek, an inventor, a theoretical mathematician, and a great cook ».

Although modesty is probably not among the virtues of the designer, you have to admit that with his jewels he knows what he does.

The strange thing is that the passion for jewelry Gurhan has discovered when he was 40, after the he worked as disc jockey and managed bars and restaurants. But then he went to Switzerland to study horology. Then, he says, everything changed the day he met a pure gold leaf. And the 24-carat gold (except the closures, which are at 22 carats) in its collections is beaten with the hammer, and leaves the classic signs on the metal. Since then he designs jewelry in a continuous stream. Today its boutique more popular is the one that has opened in New York. Lavinia Andorno

Cuore intagliato in tormalina rosa-verde

From Athens to New York, from psychology to jewelry: Christina Alexiou is a designer who decided to combine Plato with Geronimo, and she has come a long way. She combines, in fact, some aspects of the aesthetics of her native country with that of the Native Americans. On the other hand, she explains, Greece has always been a place where cultures have crossed.

The story of Christina Alexiou is unusual: she graduated in psychology, then obtained a Masters in Art Direction from New York University. She moved to live in New York in the 1980s. And here she dealt with night clubs and fashion magazines. With her husband she then decided to replicate the business in Athens as well as working as a journalist for some Greek fashion magazines. And the jewels?

They came later as a profession, but now they constitute the passion and occupation of the designer. Although she says she started getting passionate when she was 14, especially for Native American ethnic jewelry. Pink opals are carved in the shape of lips for the bracelets, tourmalines take the shape of hearts to hang on thin gold chains, rings reveal baroque curves in transparency.

Sono arrivati dopo come professione, ma ora costituiscono la passione e l’occupazione della designer. Anche se lei racconta di aver iniziato ad appassionarsi quando aveva 14 anni, in particolare per i gioielli etnici dei nativi americani. Opali rosa sono intagliati a forma di labbra per i bracciali, tormaline assumono la forma di cuori da appendere a sottili catene d’oro, anelli lasciano intravedere curve barocche in trasparenza.

Everything about tourmaline

Published on March 6, 2019

All you want to know about the most fashionable stone: the tourmaline. Green, blue or red, is the gem of the moment. Here is a quick tour guide ♦

Often confused with other stones, tourmaline is characterized by a wide range of hues and shades. No coincidence that the name comes from a Sinhalese word turmali, used to indicate carnelian and stones of different colors from Sri Lanka. The main varieties of tourmaline used in jewelry is one that defines the classification of the mineral as Elbaite, which is also a synonym for green tourmalines. Much used Rubellite also, which color are from red to pink, and the rare Indicolite, from a deep blue and exceptional luster.

Features Tourmaline is a dichroic stone: each crystal, usually very long, has two colors (one dark and one light), that change as intensity depending on the angle of observation. Do you know where the tourmaline name comes from? It comes from the Sinhalese word thoramalli or tōra-molli. It is a word that is applied to a group of stones found in Sri Lanka. In fact this stone arrived in Europe with the ships of the Dutch East India Company to satisfy the demand for colored gems.

Chopard, anello Red Carpet 2013 con tormalina turchese Paraiba — Chopard, anello Red Carpet 2013 con tormalina Paraiba

Color There are many and with different shades. The most sought stones are the Paraiba tourmalines, homonymous field in Brazil, although the name is used for gems from different backgrounds such as Mozambique and Nigeria, when they have this range of shades: Caribbean blue, peacock blue, neon blue, copper green, neon aquamarine, azure, turquoise generated by the traces of chromium. A trace element, chromium, which gives its name to a deep green stones that are found in Tanzania, although the color in this case is given by the presence of vanadium. A great blue saturation, brightness and purity is the rare tourmaline Indicolite. There are, then, the Rubellite with its shades ranging from pink to vivid red, tourmaline Watermelon or watermelon, true wonder of nature, because two-tone: the center is red, surrounded by an outer layer of green, or vice versa.

Harry Winston, anello pezzo unico con tormalina Paraiba taglio cabochon e diamanti

How to clean the tourmaline. The tourmaline is a fairly hard stone: it is between 7 and 7.5 degrees on the Mohs scale (the diamond is at 10). It is a hardness considered right for use in jewelry. But be careful not to leave the tourmaline too close to a source of heat for a long time: it could alter it and even break. But the stone can be safely cleaned with hot water and a drop of soap, while there are disagreements on the use of ultrasound and steam cleaners.

Tormalina Elbaite proveniente dalla miniera Cruziero di Santa Maria do Suaçuí, nella regione Minas Gerais in Brasile

Source The most important deposits are in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, Burma, Sri Lanka, and United States (California and Maine). Many African countries have recently become major producers of tourmaline, particularly Madagascar, Namibia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Nigeria and Malawi.

Evaluation is not a simple thing due the amount of varieties and colors. The first thing to do is to examine the stone in sunlight: a green gem under an incandescent bulb may appear almost black, while a pink or red appears gray or brown. If, even under artificial light, keeps its natural tones, is likely to be a stone with a fine color. But beware, the primary color should be predominant for 70-75%. The rest of percentage is obviously a hue, ie a secondary color which, however, may change depending on the illumination, natural or artificial. Moreover, there is no general rule on dimensions and prices: some tourmalines are found only in small sizes and are used as beads in a very low cost, while others are more available in 10 or more carats. The evaluation also takes account of its clarity, which has three degrees defined by the Gia (Gemological Institute of America, the most famous center of research and teaching mineralogy of the United States): if the green tourmaline is usually classified type I, that means, has a slight inclusion visible to the naked eye, blue, orange, yellow, multi-color (except watermelon varieties) and some pink specimens stones have minor inclusions and are grade II, while the red ones , pink and watermelon belong to the third category III where noticeable inclusions are expect ed as it appears from the photos below. Tourmaline is normally not subjected to heat treatment and if this happens does not affect its value.

The extraordinary combinations with the stones designed by Paul Wild for Baselworld 2019 ♦ ︎

Baselworld is not only a great opportunity to observe watches and, above all, magnificent jewels. But without magnificent stones there would not exist much of the magnificent jewels. Here, then, the exceptional stones of Paul Wild, a fixed presence in Baselworld. Unlike other companies specializing in the sale of precious and semi-precious stones, Paul Wild makes his business an art. He interprets the stones, in short, and every year he orders them according to new sources of inspiration, with an ear that listen the influences of fashion. For example, anticipates the German Maison, the shades for spring 2019 are the red and orange shades. But the desire for a life that follows a more natural rhythm remains present. Not to mention the blue color, which is associated with other aspects of life: stability, trust, truth, faith, loyalty, wisdom, trust. From these considerations Paul Wild has composed three key chromatic themes for 2019: Bright Sight of Light, Abundance of Nature, Liaison de Couleurs.

Bright Sight of Light

This trend is inspired by the Pantone color for 2019, Living Coral. Paul Wild translates the concept with African tourmalines and golden yellow beryl from Brazil. Stones that can make up a necklace, a ring and earrings, in a suite of 71 gems for a total of 176.74 carats. The necklace radiates from a 39.4-carat golden beryl gold cabochon, with four cascading tiers of pear-shaped tourmalines in a mix of sizes and shades, pink to purple. “We chose this theme to express the spirit of Living Coral, which is radiant and joyful,” says CEO, Markus Paul Wild. A 22,01 carat cushioned tourmaline is chosen for the ring and 10 pear-shaped tourmalines in increasing sizes and color saturation are in the layout to match dangling earrings (10.05 total weight in carats).

Abundance of Nature

Chromatic trends closely aligned with nature have predominantly green and blue hues. Green is the universal symbol of nature, health. Blue is the color of the sky and the sea. With these images, Paul Wild assembled a vivid green-blue Paraiba tourmaline suite from Mozambique, consisting of a cluster ring and earrings totaling 77.32 carats and a teardrop necklace totaling 146.61 carats, with 63 stones in the set. A suite of beryls and tourmalines, 104 pieces for a total of 407.42 carats, is also part of this line. Like the droplets of water on the petals, the necklace, the earrings and the arrangement of the rings includes 195.30 carats of briolettes of aquamarine, 68.09 carats of morganite and 144.03 carats of Afghan tourmaline. A magnificent necklace of 109 pear-shaped Ceylon sapphires includes a total of 154.25 carats, with a range of colors ranging from blue to green to yellow and pink and all other imaginative colors.

Liaison de Couleurs

The new fashion colors for spring are vivid. Liaison de Couleurs, as the name suggests, combines natural precious stones to create new combinations. “We see this product as something visionary and innovative,” adds Wild. “We have chosen Basel as the best place to debut this innovation. We want to gather feedback from our good customers there to see what they think about colors, cuts and applications to help us move forward with product marketing. ”

New bracelets from the Perlée collection, one of the successes of Van Cleef & Arpels ♦

A bit ‘is also credit of the most famous Egyptian pharaoh, Tutankhamen, if the Maison Van Cleef & Arpels has created a line of jewelry that appears to have eternal life, as the fame of the Nile King. The Perlée collection, born in 2008, in fact, is inspired by Twenties when, for hemming some jewelry was used the Egyptian-style decoration, which became fashionable after the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb (1922). This shape, with small spheres together to form a border or the shank of a ring, he has created more than half a century later to the Perlée collection. The idea, perhaps thanks to the influence of Pharaoh (who knows), was successful. Perlée was multiplied in Perlée d’or, Perlée couleurs, Perlée diamants, Perlée Trefles, Perlée signature …

In 2019 the Maison introduced a new design of the bracelet in pink, yellow or white gold, to accentuate both semi-precious stones and diamonds.

In 2016, instead, three Entre les Doigts rings were introduced, plus a pendant set with diamonds and matching button earrings. The ring Entre les Doigts is composed of two reasons stem from an open, with two cabochon: one is a hard stone, the other is composed of gold and set with diamonds. For example, yellow gold with malachite, white gold with turquoise, pink gold with carnelian. The pearl shape is revealed on the outline surrounding the two hemispheres. There are, then, the buttons earrings, which always use the cabochon shape, with yellow, white or pink, plus setting of diamonds. One of the aspects that has made the success of the collection, according to Van Cleef & Arpels, is also the ability of this line of jewelry to fit in unusual combinations with other models.

Butterflies with diamonds and colored stones by Sutra, symbol, memory, nature ♦ ︎

According to historians, the first butterflies depicted by man date back to the frescoes of 3,500 years ago in ancient Egypt. In short, butterflies have become a subject for art since the human race began its journey. A sign that colorful-winged insects have never lost their charm. So much so that, besides becoming subjects for paintings and sculptures, they were often transformed into jewels. Necklaces, earrings, pendants and rings in the shape of a butterfly, sooner or later, have attracted the attention of all the great Maison of jewelry.

Sutra proposes this classic theme with the Butterfly collection.

As is the style of the jewelery brand founded by Arpita and Divyanshu Navlakha, the Sutra butterfly rivals the most colorful butterflies. Butterflies are also a memory of Arpita’s youth in Mumbai. Diamonds are set together with emeralds, sapphires, aquamarines or tourmalines in a light design like the wings of real butterflies. In some cases, as in earrings, butterflies are divided into two: each wing on one ear. Or both wings are placed on a frame of white or pink gold.

The Surround collection of the Brazilian designer, based in London, Fernando Jorge ♦ ︎

At the Couture Awards 2018 Fernando Jorge replicated last year’s award in the Diamonds Above 20K dollars category. Winning twice in a row is not a very common fact. But it must be admitted that the jury that voted for a pair of earrings in the new Surround collection by the Brazilian designer’s, was not wrong. In just a few years, since 2012, the young jewelry designer graduated from Central Saint Martins has become an international star. His Brazilian imagination has merged with British precision to churn out one collection after another, always with a special style, his own.
A goal that many designers reach after decades of application (and many never reach). And that’s why Fernando Jorge has won two such coveted awards. The Surround collection, in addition to an explosion of gold and diamonds, also uses another unusual element: the tagua nut, a Brazilian plant with a pure and very hard wood. Jade is also a little out of the ordinary, used for a pair of earrings along with tourmaline and diamonds. Who knows if the next year in Las Vegas will be able to amaze again. Giulia Netrese

And it is a world of nuances that are brought together in Essentially Color, a rhapsody of fine jewelry signed by the excellent Maison Picchiotti, tradition of Valence and international design, seasoned by the perfect Piedmontese courtesy. The new collection Essentially Color introduces is based on a classic models, but at the same time renewed by the refined choice of stones, chosen for their uniqueness. Like in a painting, even in jewels the nuances are everything.
Rings and pendants are made with diamonds next to a rare rare (untreated) amethyst, green tourmaline and peridot, as well as tanzanite and Paraiba with a cushion or pear cut. The combination of the special colors of the stones and the combination of jewelry design make Essentially Color a very special collection.
«Working with colored gemstones is a matter of love, passion and dedication for me», is the comment by Giuseppe Picchiotti, founder of the brand. «Spending a lifetime in search of nature’s greatest treasures fulfills me in a deeply personal way». Giulia Netrese

The crabs seen by Daniela Villegas, the second love after the insects ♦
That Daniela Villegas is a lover of nature is known. But it is curious to observe how, within his observation of the natural world, there are aspects to which the Mexican-born designer based in Los Angeles is more interested. The most beloved world is, perhaps, that of insects. Big, small, grotesque if transformed into jewelry: beetles and relatives are among the subjects that have become more sources of inspiration. But another strand is that of the sea. And, in particular, to animals that most resemble insects: crabs. With menacing claws that show off large transparent gems, the crabs are interpreted by Daniela Villegas with colored stones, with strong colors, such as tourmalines and opals, next to gold and diamonds. They are above all rings and pendants, with a vaguely tropical flavor. On this page you can see some of the crabs that make up the designer’s collections. Giulia Netrese

Daniela Villegas, travel to Mexico with the Chromatic Paradise collection ♦ ︎
That Daniela Villegas is attracted by the colors of her country of origin, Mexico, is known. Her jewels are always based on contrasts of shapes and colors strong, cheerful, uncompromising. Add to this a fantasy that gallops like a wild horse across the plains of Texas. Combine these two aspects and you will have Chromatic Paradise, a collection that appeals to the wild nature of those lands, but also to the traditions born beyond the Rio Bravo. Daniela Villegas, who works and lives in Los Angeles, not only does not forget those harsh and enthralling atmospheres, but continues to observe them under a microscope. Her jewels are fanciful reconstructions or interpretations. This is also the case for the Chromatic Paradise collection, where for once the insects (her main source of inspiration) become a subject that is always present, but secondary. Instead, snakes and coyotes emerge with the difficult art of stone carving, with the classic mix of precious stones, semi-precious stones and natural elements. In this case, an even more effective formula. Giulia Netrese

Suzanne Syz’s latest jewelery, among unusual materials, pop and a stunning design ♦ ︎
Born in Zurich, who grew up in Paris, she moved to New York in the 1980s and attended Andy Warhol, Jean Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel, Francesco Clemente and Jeff Koons. Does anyone wonder why Suzanne Syz describes his business as Art Jewelry? It is, of course, part of his destiny, his attitude, his abilities. The jewels she shows attest this description. The last ones were shown at the Hotel Bergues in Geneva at the end of July. And, as always, they have surprised even by those who know Suzanne Syz very well.
Jewelery could be placed in three different typologies: those of unusual geometries that somehow seem to allude to endless volumes like Möbius’s Ribbon, exuberant luxury jewels, such as the enamel ring, tourmaline and diamonds, and those of Pop inspiration. This is the case, for example, of the fun straw-like earrings made of diamonds and sapphires. Also for these jewels Suzanne Syz often uses non-traditional materials such as aluminum or titanium. Next stage: Salon Art + Design NYC from 9 to 13 November. Margherita Donato
