How to evaluate the pavé of your jewels

Can you realy judge the pavé of your jewel? Pavé is the most used technique in jewelry, but few really know how it is made. Read how to evaluate the pavé stones on your jewels ♦

There are jewellery composed of gems so close to each other that it seems a continuous surface: is the effect of a pavé done perfectly, which transforms a flower, an insect or any shape in an object of unique harmony. The outcome is the result of many hours of work and great skills. Of course, recognize the best one is not difficult, just a certain sensitivity, but understand why it is so special makes the experience even more satisfying. Here a few examples of fine jewelry to get to know this technique: basically learn a bit more also helps to make better choices and make an informed purchase.

The technique

Conical holes are dug in the metal where insert the stones, that are subsequently blocked (set) with tiny balls obtained engraving with a chisel (scorper) the excavated material on the sides of the stone. It is clear that it is a job, the one done handmade by the jewel setter, very neatly. The shortest distance between stones requires greater skill and care, which increase the cost of production. Vice versa wider spaces filled with these tiny balls indicate the opposite. But not only: the throng around the stone often provides an effect of overall confusion that the experts define by the word dirty.

The Tubetto collection by De Grisogono is a textbook example: the blacks diamond of the ring below, although of different dimension, are all on the same level. It is the ability of the stone setter to ensure that larger gems not protrude too much and small ones remain in evidence, and that requires the groove depth must be calculated to the nearest millimeter, operation even more difficult when they are of different sizes. Moreover, the tiny balls that hold the stones are nearly invisible in pictures like this where the object is much zoomed.

Here two more examples of admirable invisible setting, the Camaleonte by Vhernier and the American flag earrings by Michele della Valle. Getting this kind of quality is much more difficult with colorless diamonds on white gold, because with colored stones, if the base is good, you can improve the pavé by coloring the metal. Furthermore, in these two cases the pavé is continuous, does not have metal slabs that circumscribe it, but wraps the setting. Detail which increases the difficulty and the execution time.

Below is interesting to note the elegance of details: the tiny balls are in yellow or black gold depending on the color of the stones; in the second image instead, a mixed technique: the points on plate (cylinders applied on the metal instead of balls engraved with chisel) in the center and pavé on the sides.

Finally, always from Pomellato an example of pavé of line Sabbia, where seems that in the design phase at computer the space required to place the stones and tiny balls are pointed out without having to perform by hand  to get this precise effect. Monica Battistoni

Vhernier lightness with Ardis

Ardis, in Esperanto, means “shining era”. For those who don’t know, Esperanto is a language invented between 1872 and 1887 by Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof, with the aim of creating a common language for all the peoples of the world. The idea was nice, but evidently something went wrong. On the other hand, the concept of design has become universal, an aesthetic aspect that adds value to any object. As in the case of Vhernier jewels, a Maison that has always focused on refined design. The Valenza brand now presents Ardis, a name that perhaps alludes to Esperanto, but in any case it is a collection that combines the usual attention to volumes with the search for innovation in materials.

For this line of jewels, Vhernier has chosen to use opaque and compact aluminium, with pearly reflections, soft to the touch and obviously very light. The metal is shaped by hand in the Vhernier laboratories. The aluminum of the jewels is crossed by bands of rose gold, or white gold set with pavé diamonds. The collection is made up of rings, earrings and rigid but flexible bracelets, in two versions, with bands in pink or white gold with diamonds.

New Eclipse with Vhernier

The eclipse returns, but it cannot be seen in the sky and is not caused by the moon obscuring the sun. To see the Eclisse just enter a shop in Vhernier. The eclipse, which in astronomy is an event caused by any celestial body that comes between a light source, for example the moon between the sun and the Earth, is also the name of a historic collection of the jewelry brand devoted to design. Now the Eclisse collection, which in the shape of successive hemispheres is inspired by Brancusi’s sculptures, is proposed again with new combinations in a series Endless of jewels made up of rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets.

But not only. The new pieces of the Eclisse collection, which in its design takes up the concept of an illuminated surface as used in astronomical representations, are also offered in different materials. In addition to the classic rose gold, with or without pavé diamonds, the jewels are presented in the white gold and diamonds variant, in rose gold and titanium, or in titanium and diamonds. The result is brilliant, nothing in this Eclipse remains in the shadow.

Barbie’s jewels

Do you like pink? Do you want to wear pink jewelry? Are you looking for a pink necklace? Or a bracelet? Or … Here are many ideas ♦

There are many reasons to wear pink jewelry, Barbie’s favorite color. The first is that it is the light version of marsala, announced color of the year, according to Pantone. In addition, it is definitely more suited to this season; the second reason is that its tone, even the one tinged with gray tinge, embellishes any type of skin. And This alone would be enough to convince anyone. But there is another side to act as an incentive and comes from English: think pink!It means thinking positive. And indeed a beautiful bright pink is a burst of energy, a stimulus to good mood. So, although many of the color names have lost their multiplicity of meanings, even in some languages in common phrases characterize specific moods. So, ring, earrings or bracelet have also colored stones, faceted or cabochon, translucent or opaque. Provided that they are pink.

Anello in oro bianco con diamanti e zaffiri rosa
Nigaam, anello in oro bianco con diamanti e zaffiri rosa

And more, pink is a positive color. It takes its name from the fragrant flower of the same name. But perhaps you don’t know that it was born quite recently: the name rose was used for the first time to indicate a shade of color only at the end of the 17th century. In the West (especially Europe and the United States), pink is the color associated with concepts of charm, kindness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity and romance. If the hue is very light, it is associated with chastity and innocence. On the contrary, a bright pink suggests eroticism and seduction.

The history of pink
One could write a history of the color pink. But, undoubtedly, the maximum popularity reached it in the mid-eighteenth century, when pastel colors became very fashionable in all the courts of Europe. The pink color in particular was highly appreciated by Madame de Pompadour (1721-1764), lover of King Louis XV of France, who often wore clothes that combined blue and pink. Not only that: she had a particular shade of pink created especially for her by the Sevres porcelain factory, apparently with small additions of blue, black and yellow.

Pink stones
But let’s talk about jewelry: in addition to pink gold, you have a wide choice of stones that have shades of rose. The most precious, and most expensive, is undoubtedly the diamond. Diamonds with pink shades are buyed for millions of dollars during the auctions. But luckily there are many other stones that also have this color tone in their repertoire: quartz, sapphire, mystic topaz, rhodolite garnet, morganite, kunzite, Malaya garnet, tourmaline, spinel, opal, zircon, pink pearl, moonstone , coral, smithsonite, pezzottaite, rhodochrosite and rhodonite. You only have the problem of choosing one.

Vhernier jewels in the orbit of Kering?

Vhernier, historic Italian jewelery brand, takes the road to France. As revealed by the financial newspaper Mff, Vhernier passes 49% to the French group Kering of monsieur François-Henri Pinault. At the moment there is no official confirmation of the operation, neither from the French luxury giant, nor from the president of the Maison Carlo Traglio. Indeed, according to other sources, the Italian group would have other negotiating tables open with other big names in luxury. According to Mff’s hypothesis, however, the Italian jewelery company, controlled through the family financial company Aura by Carlo and Maurizio Traglio, would remain 51% owned, even if it is not excluded that in the near future the proportion could reverse.

Kering, which has just concluded the acquisition of 30% of Valentino, would further strengthen the jewelery area, which is now represented by the high-end brand Qeeling and by, Boucheron, Pomellato and DoDo, with a younger target. Vhernier, on the contrary, enjoys an excellent image thanks to its high quality production, but does not have the strength to establish itself on increasingly globalized international markets.

The Vhernier Palloncino becomes a bracelet

The Vhernier Palloncino (balloon) continues its journey around the body and rests on the wrist. The idea of creating a jewel in the shape of small light balloons that float in the air and that children keep tied to a thread also marks the history of the Valencian brand. The Balloon was the first jewel, created in 1984, when the Maison was founded. In a few months, therefore, he will be 40 years old, and I will have reached maturity. Perhaps for this reason Vhernier has rediscovered this classic collection for some years. The Balloon, previously only offered as earrings, has also become a ring, necklace and, now, a bracelet.

The Palloncino bracelets are offered in rhodium-plated 18-karat white gold, diamonds, rock crystal, lapis lazuli, turquoise and white mother-of-pearl, which was the only model available up to now. The bracelet is open, so it requires no effort to put it on. The stones are cut in the cabochon-balloon shape, as in all the other pieces in the collection.

Vhernier launches Calla in a single piece

Calla, a flower that has been blooming almost every spring for over 20 years and which, in any case, never withers. Also because the special variety of this flower is made of metal. Gold, to be exact. Calla’s design has made Vhernier famous, a maison that focuses entirely on style and research, on elaborate simplicity, on the difference from traditional jewellery. And for this reason, Vhernier periodically re-proposes new variants of this collection, which has now exceeded a hundred new interpretations. For 2023 it is the turn of Calla the One, an innovative jewel both in terms of shape and materials.

While the jewels of the Calla collection, which debuted in 1999, are composed of different elements that follow one another, in this new version the design lengthens and curves to give life to rings, necklaces and bracelets formed from a single piece. And this justifies the name of Calla the One, even if it is not easy to identify the new jewels with those of the traditional collection. The new pieces are in rose gold or white gold and white or black diamonds, also in a full pavé version.

How to clean wooden jewelry




The jewels with wooden elements also appeal the greats Maison. But how do wooden jewels are cleaned and stored? Pay attention to … ♦ ︎

The most precious metal? The wood. It seems a paradox, but an article published by Bloomberg underlines what is now a consolidated trend: using wood for jewelry. But not for simple bijoux: even for expensive and great design pieces. The wood, obviously the selected one and with particular qualities of strength and durability over time, also has the advantage of being considered a green, natural and renewable material. Moreover, it does not need large excavations that pierce the earth, like for precious stones. Furthermore, it is also the oldest material used to make an ornament.

“Customers are attracted by the warm luster of wood and lightness,” said to Bloomberg Ward Landrigan, CEO of Verdura Jewelry. And in the same service the designer Katey Brunini emphasizes that it is “a neutral element” that goes well with both winter and summer clothing.

Costa Rican Cocobolo, ebony, Acacia melanoxylon, commonly called Australian or African blackwood are among the most used materials. And often the wood of the jewels comes from furniture or beams of an old building that are recovered. Cristiana Vigano, Vhernier’s vice president of the United States, said that almost all of her clients say that jewels with wooden elements “become the most versatile and wearable they possess”.

But how to store and clean wooden jewels?
1 Beware of water. The wood used for jewelry is robust and often treated to withstand rain or random drops during the day. But the story changes with regard to continuous humidity, which can ruin the wood. Wooden jewels must be kept in a dry place.
2 Watch out for scratches. The wood used for jewelry is particularly hard. But, of course, it can be scratched (as is the case with metals) if it comes in contact with something sharp, for example a diamond. Also for this reason it is better to store the jewels with wooden elements individually, in a bag or in a box.

3 Cosmetic hazard. Better to avoid the use of hairspray, perfumes, lotions, creams when wearing jewelry with wooden elements: in the long run they could ruin the material. The same applies to soaps, insect repellents, sunscreens or other chemicals, which can cause the loss of color in the wood.
4 They can be cleaned with … To remove dust or grease on the wooden parts, just use a non-abrasive microfibre cloth or a cotton cloth. Also, better clean by following the line of the veins, if they are visible.
5 Polish the jewel. If the wood of the jewel is polished, the brilliance can be enlivened with natural beeswax.

Precious jewels in aluminum?




Aluminum has been rediscovered for quality jewelry. Here’s how to clean and store aluminum jewelery ♦ ︎

Cans for drinks, dishes, components for airplanes: aluminum is used for many things. And it seems that the jewelry is also rediscovering this light and resistant metal. It is not, in fact, a novelty: aluminum was shown for the first time at the Paris Expo in 1855. But, at that time, it was a rare material: for this reason it was used to create jewels. From that period, when aluminum was considered as precious as gold, there are still very few pieces. It was very expensive and much appreciated: those who could, they put on display an aluminum brooch. Blackened aluminum jewels were claimed at the court of Queen Victoria after the death of her beloved Albert and became popular throughout the British Empire.

The metal. Aluminum is the most common metal on Earth and one of the most common chemical elements. Until about a century ago, however, was not known the process to exctract it industrially from the minerals in which is found. It is a very light and resistant metal. It is not particularly toxic and does not cause allergies (except in rare cases). A curiosity: the aluminum oxide, also called corundum, in the form of transparent crystals is more known as sapphire and ruby. It is also the hardest natural substance after the diamond, with relative hardness 9 in the Mohs scale (which reaches 10).

Orecchini con labirinto in alluminio e tormalina verde
Hemmerle, orecchini con labirinto in alluminio e tormalina verde

Jewelry. When aluminum started to be produced in large quantities, its use in jewelry was practically ceased, apart from cheap jewelry. But recently, this material has been rediscovered creatively by some Maison who value its qualities, often with refined workmanship. Aluminum was used, for example, by Hemmerle, Vhernier, Chopard, Suzanne Syz or the young designer Emmanuel Tarpin. Among the advantages of aluminum there is undoubtedly the lightness, which allows you to make jewelry with a minimum weight. Furthermore, it is a very ductile and easy to work metal.

Orecchini a forma di punti esclamativi e interrogativi in alluminio e diamanti
Suzanne Syz, orecchini a forma di punti esclamativi e interrogativi in alluminio e diamanti

Aluminum care. Aluminum can oxidize. Aluminum jewels can get damaged when in contact with creams, soaps and acidic substances. Furthermore, care must be taken not to deform the metal if you are practicing a sport or doing housework. For cleaning, if the jewel has no other elements such as pearls or enamels, just immerse the jewel in warm water in which two drops of liquid soap have been dissolved. Rinse well and dry with a cotton cloth. Since the metal is resistant but can be damaged, it is better to store the jewels in aluminum separately, in containers where they are not in contact with other objects.

From Vhernier earrings for Aladdin




Aladdin is a character who is part of the folk tales in the East. The best known is the one contained in the Thousand and One Nights, although not everyone knows that the fable with the 40 thieves was not part of the original text, but was added to the collection by the Frenchman Antoine Galland, who transcribed a folk tale by the narrator Syrian Maronite Hanna Diyab. All this magic serves to introduce Aladdin, a ring that is part of Vhernier’s Trasparenze line.

The novelty is that new earrings are added to the collection. The jewels, rings and earrings, are made of rose gold, with jade, lapis lazuli, turquoise or mother of pearl, associated with rock crystal. The processing makes the jewel opaque and semi-transparent. But, alongside the refined proposal of materials, the jewels of the collection stand out for their clean, soft, delicate design, in perfect Vhernier style, a Maison that is famous for its jewels suitable for women with a sophisticated taste.

Palloncino by Vhernier also around the neck

/




If you like something, why change it? Right. Vhernier, however, has chosen to introduce some innovations in his longest-running collection, Palloncino (means balloon). Now, in fact, the balloon is transformed into a pendant with a bright color, always with the usual round shape. Under the knot, covered with diamonds, is the white gold thread. The new Palloncino pendant is added to the collection that includes the ring and earrings. The jewels are made of white gold, rock crystal and jade, or rhodonite, turquoise, lapis lazuli or white mother-of-pearl.

The Palloncino collection was Vhernier’s first: it was launched in 1984, when the Maison was founded. This line continues to be among the jewels of the Valenza brand. At the beginning of its history, the innovative shape of the jewel, reminiscent of the light balloon tied to a thread that is given to children, was reserved for single earrings, which can also be worn as brooches, to which rings have also been added and, now , necklace.

In the blue hour with Vhernier

//




Photographers define blue hours as those moments that precede nightfall and which offer a somewhat mysterious atmosphere. With greater romanticism, the Italian Maison Vhernier called Coucher du Soleil (sunset) its first collection to experiment with the use of bronze. The homage to the blue hour is, of course, also (but not limited to) marked by the color to which the collection refers. Coucher du soleil is characterized by the use of classic and uncommon materials. In addition, the jewelry is modular, composed of thin vertical elements in bronze dyed blue, thanks to a special process, and gold.

To the two combined metals is added, in some versions, the glow of diamonds, set in an order that seems random, but is not, as it is in the style of the Piedmontese Maison. The collection includes bracelets and band rings, sculpture earrings, even with generous volumes. The collection, in addition to the blue tone, also includes jewels with golden shades, always made with the same materials, but with diamonds in a brown version.

The new balloons with diamonds by Vhernier




Although the smartphone has become the favorite game of children, the old balloon that floats in the air tied to a thread is still (fortunately) something that attracts those who have not yet learned the gestures on the screen of an iPhone or the like. This resilience is also testified by Vhernier, that has been offering Palloncino (balloon) as a collection for many years now. Unlike the aerostatic balloon, however, the jewels of the Balloon collection are appreciated by a more adult age

In any case, the design of the Maison’s jewels is particularly appreciated, so much so that periodically Vhernier proposes it always new variants. This year, for example, a diamond pavé version arrives. The new jewelry includes ring and earrings, both available in white or black diamond pavé on white gold. Furthermore, the Palloncino ring has an ergonomic shape that allows you to wear two rings on the same finger, in opposite directions. The earring, sold individually, can be combined with a model made with diamonds of the same color but is also suitable for creating the black and white couple.

Calla collection by Vhernier is blooming again





The calla, a flower that never fades in the Vhernier house, continues to bloom in similar but different forms. In fact, for autumn 2021, the Calla collection returns in the form of new variations on the theme. The collection, which turns 23, is one of the longest-lived: a sign that many still appreciate it. And it is also thanks to the ability to periodically immerse the jewels in a bath of freshness.

The latest evolution is Calla Whip, a collection consisting of bracelets and rings, offered in different combinations, in which the conical elements curve gently to wrap around the wrists and fingers. The bracelet is the interpretation of the slave bracelet, a classic of jewelry that was missing from the maison’s proposals and which combines ergonomics with portability. Rings and bracelets are offered in three combinations: rose gold, rose gold with black titanium, black titanium and diamonds.

The Palloncino by Vhernier flies on a ring




The Palloncino (balloon) was the first jewel to take flight in 1984, when the Maison was founded. But the Palloncino collection by Vhernier continues to float in the catalog of the Valenza-based brand. At the beginning of its history, the innovative shape of the jewel, reminiscent of the light balloon tied to a thread that is given to children, was reserved for single earrings, which can also be worn as brooches. Made of white gold, with the cord that becomes a diamond pavé wire, the single earring is combined with carnelian and rock crystal ovals, with a transparency effect that is Vhernier’s trademark.

Variants also include lapis lazuli, jade, turquoise, mother of pearl and rhodonite. The collection is now enriched with a ring. Also in this case the stem is in white gold with diamonds, with the central body with balloon-shaped stones juxtaposed with rock crystal. The cheerful and minimal effect is thus transferred to the fingers with the same visual impact of the original brooch-earrings.
