The wildlife in the extraordinary stones of Paul Wild at Baselworld 2017.
Maybe you like the jewelry with large precious stones. Maybe you have read that jewelers start at emeralds, rubies and tourmalines to draw a new gem. Or maybe you know Paul Wild. If, oddly, you have not heard, you must know that it was a German artist-dealer (now the tradition continues with Markus Wild) who has considered the stones as a painter looks at his jars of paint. And this way it is also demonstrated als with its participation at Baselworld 2017.
This year, for example, Paul Wild presents with a series of stones inspired by painting Le Rêve by Henri Rousseau, a famous painting from 1910 that has as its subject a tropical forest. A fantastic nature that the company Kirschweiler (Germany), plays with a number of stones that are already the idea of jewelry before you even get into a goldsmith laboratory. As in the case of the Paraiba tourmalines cut into butterfly, and rubellite, garnet, lapis blue, the morganite, spinel Vietnam: all extraordinary stones, often unusual, which should only be worn to become jewels out of the ordinary.

Brumani on colorful baobab
If you have never seen a baobab tree, typical of the central areas of Africa, here’s an opportunity: those by Brumani are much better. The Brazilian brand of high-end jewelry, in fact, has the collection Baobab one of the examples of what he can do with colored gems. No coincidence that her jewelry is worn on the red carpet by the big movie stars: the jewels can, in fact, draw attention to the earrings or ring that a family of Italian immigrants and Germans, with more than 50 years of experience in the jewelry, has left to Brazilian brothers Eduardo, Emerson and Rodrigo Brüner. But let’s talk about Baobab, tree which was introduced in the eighteenth century also in Brazil. The collection comes in four versions. It consists of cabochons seawater and ruby, pink tourmaline Brazilian, brown diamonds and yellow gold. Collection Baobab Rosé, diamond, rose quartz cabochons and pink tourmaline Brazilian, all set in pink gold. Baobab Fat packaged version in pink gold, the green door of chrysoberyl, lemon quartz cabochons, combined with the rarity of mandarin garnet and diamond brown. Collection Baobab Paraiba is packaged in white gold, diamonds, cabochons of seawater and the rare and precious tourmaline paraíba. Monica Battistoni
Cameos with colors
The traditional cameos, but with tourmaline, signed Carada, company from Tarì center.
It is good that a country cultivate their traditions. In Italy the areas where are focused all the jewelry productions are four: Vicenza, Valenza, Arezzo and the area of Naples-Torre del Greek. Many companies in the latter area were later transferred to the center of Tari, name of the currency used in the ancient Maritime Republic of Amalfi, which was chosen as the name for this confederation of jewelry artisans on the outskirts of Caserta. Among them it is also Carada, a name chosen from a family who traditions knows very well: Ciro Schiavo. The small company born in the fifties in Torre del Greco and named after the founder. Like other companies with similar traditions, even Ciro Schiavo is a master in the engravings that are used to create elaborate cameos. His sons, Mario and Tommaso Schiavo, continued on the road begun by their father, but with the new Carada brand. The tradition remains intact: the production is of cameos and coral, but with the addition of colored stones, such as tourmaline. Lavinia Andorno
Capitals in colors
The capitals based on Paraiba tourmaline, sapphires and diamonds from Andrew Geoghegan.
In architecture, a capital has the function to act as a bridge between the column and beam. Over time, the classical capitals introduced by the ancient Greece (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian) have been imaginatively enriched and transformed, from Romanesque period onwards. This brief summary is to introduce other capitals, the ones that the British designer Andrew Geoghegan has decided to turn into jewelry. Rings for accuracy. The Chapiteau collection is inspired by Baroque architecture, that of Versailles and Louis XIV. These cocktail rings, however, point out something that is not attributable only to the forms of architecture, but above all on color suggestions. The Chapiteau de Paraiba Cocktail Ring, for example, is almost a whimsical collection of stones next to the deep blue of the tourmaline, there is a side of pink sapphires, but the faces of the capital side are with mint green tourmaline, in once framed by a waltz diamond. Certainly a jewel that you cant don’t notice. Giulia Netrese
The wonders of Alice
In between summer and winter (at least in the name) Summer Snow, the new collection by Alice Cicolini, is however the pretty bright imaginable. There is the vermeil metal, silver 18-carat gold-plated, shapede in intricate lines that look like vines, and instead of the leaves, there are transparent daisies with a double corolla in rose quartz and cloudy rose quartz, green amethyst and rock crystal. Pastel colors taken from Monet’s paintings, are livened up by bright pistils in topaz, tourmalines, sapphires, morganites and chalcedony briolette cut, the inspiration of the disc like a pleated corolla came out from the basis of the Indian temples pillars, and the overall design with cascading flowers along the body is the same of Japanese kimonos. In short, there is a geographical mix and match in these jewelry whose name evokes the flurry of pollen of Moscow poplars during this season, while the stones were handcarved by Jaipur based artisans in India, the same people who for years collaborated with the British designer. Since, in 2007, she saw a jewelry box belonged to a Maharani (name for the wife of Maharaja) and decided to start creating jewelry. Here the pictures of the collection. Matilde de Bounvilles
The garden of Piaget
Those who believe that Piaget is just famous for watches, are wrong: jewelery is now a third of turnover. And it is an activity almost natural for those who already deals with watches of great value, say in the company. The latest collection is a high jewelry collection, called Mediterranean Garden, which celebrates creativity and joy of life of the French Riviera in the sixties and seventies. It is inspired by gardens overlooking the sea, by roses, bay trees and palms that reproduces with engraved gold, colored stones, diamonds marquise cut.
An aesthetic choice which looks to femininity, but also forces to select the best stones since in the marquise cut inclusions are more visible than others cuts. A challenge for gemologists and lapidary facing also with tourmalines, emeralds and aquamarines to evoke the crystalline waters of the coast. Some pieces are very sophisticated and elegant, others more informal, others are ultra modern, such as the ear cuff worn by Scarlett Johansson at the Oscar Awards ceremony, yet they could not be more in harmony with the tradition of the house: George Piaget, the founder, truly loved roses, a passion passed down in the family, so much that a specimen winner, in 1982, a competition bears the name Yves Piaget Rose of the actual president. So not surprisingly, the flower is a recurring motif in the collections. But one of thing is sure Yves Piaget: the Piaget rose will never become a perfume. That is another field. Monica Battistoni
Brumani on the Corcovado
Rio de Janeiro celebrates its 450th anniversary and Brumani dedicates a collection, named Corcovado, to one of the landmarks of the city. Colored oourmaline prongs setting combined with crystals bezel, rubies surrounded by double strips of diamonds, rare blue and purple gemstones for jewelry that bear the name of the Blessing Christ statue. Traditional rings, simple bracelets and pendants softly modern that will unveil at Baselworld with new pieces of collections already known like Maitan and Baobab, with pink and yellow tones necklaces and cocktail rings design sparkling to stay on Ipanema topic.
