The Caramelle (candies) collection by Swiss designer Vanessa Martinelli. But beware: are not for eat ♦ ︎

The gluttony is a sin? Are you on a diet and can’t eat sweets? Fortunately, there are the first candies that are not fattening. Also because you don’t eat they: the Caramelle collection by Vanessa Martinelli is dedicated to the little sweet that everyone loves, big and small, but that not all women can afford to eat. Vanessa Martinelli’s candies, on the other hand, hang around the neck. They are in gold with a semi-precious stone at the center, such as topaz or amethyst, surrounded by a pavé of sapphires, which represents the paper that wraps the cake. Who knows, perhaps Vanessa, who maintains an enviable body fit, has thought of a jewel that satisfies even the greedy, since she also proposes ice cream-shaped cone-shaped earrings.

The Swiss designer, based in Lugano, studied at Central Saint Martins in London and at the Gemological Institute of America in New York, where she graduated in gemology. He also spent a year in Hong Kong as creative director and chief designer of a Maison before founding his jewelry company in 2012.

A lotus flower for Vanessa Martinelli

A new line of jewels from the Swiss designer Vanessa Martinelli, who this time prefers mother of pearl ♦ ︎
There are two people who are called Vanessa Martinelli and who were born in Lugano but work in Geneva. One is a designer of Swiss jewelry that loves the colors and charm of the East. The other is practically identical, but those who do not know it are swapping for a trendy blogger model, friend with known characters and with a fast selfie. Which of them has just drawn a collection of jewels that use the mother of pearl to make earrings and pendants from the shape of the classic lotus flower? Both of them, maybe a Vanessa suggested to other Vanessa, who knows. In any case, the Oriental inspiration collection, which is added to the jewels that use the Buddha figure already introduced with others jewels, is the news.
Before founding, in 2012, her jewelery company, when Vanessa Martinelli was very young, also worked as a model in Milan. This explains the double face of the designer who studied at Central Saint Martins in London, followed the courses at the Gemmological Institute of America in New York, where she graduated in gemology and explored the world of pearls working a year in Hong Kong as creative director, before choosing Geneva as home to her own Maison.

What’s more good, when summer comes, a good ice cream? Now this culinary symbol of Italy, with a sweet taste that accompanies big and small around the world (but too often imitated bad), it becomes a fun gem and, perhaps, also capable of inducing a sin of gluttony. To turn the ice cream as a jewel is Vanessa Martinelli, a Swiss designer from Canton of Ticino, with apprenticeships in London, Milan and New York. In Geneva has created four years ago to its brand, which has quickly found a lot admirers. We must add that this is not the first mini collection of designer inspired by a culinary aspect: a year ago, for example, had already proposed the jewels in the form of orange slices. In any case, the jewelry in the shape of ice cream cone are in 18 carat yellow gold, with a mix of colored sapphires and a splash of diamonds: they become earrings or a pendant to be tied to a chain. You can eat they, but by the eyes. Margherita Donato
