Via Lattea

With Morphée on the Milky Way

The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy made up of billions of stars and planets, including the Sun and our Earth. Part of the Milky Way is visible in the sky and has always fascinated mankind. The Parisian Maison Morphée has chosen our galaxy as inspiration for the couple’s relationship: the galaxy moves in time with a circular motion, men and women choose paths that revolve around the construction of a common life. Starting from these considerations, Morphée has designed an engagement ring that has special characteristics.

The Galaxy ring has a design that resembles a spiral, in homage to the Milky Way. The novelty is that it combines an engagement ring, a wedding ring and finally a third ring that is added for a special occasion, such as an anniversary or the birth of a child. The engagement ring, therefore, can combine several bands, in simple gold or set with gems, to compose a jewel that is enriched over time. Furthermore, the ring is customizable: it is offered in the three main colors of gold, with the central gem and the surrounding gems of your choice. Obviously, at different prices.

The Milky Way of Giovanni Raspini




The Milky Way seen by Giovanni Raspini: a silver and labradorite collection ♦ ︎
There are five new collections for the winter 2017-2018 by Giovanni Raspini. The florentine company specializing in silver has long taken the road to an ever more imaginative and elaborated jewel-style interpretation, with collections that over time have also added elements other than simple silver. This is the case for one of the winter collections, Via Lattea (Milky Way), with melted pieces with labradorite inserts. The pieces consist of a stream of small spheres of glossy silver on a burnished background, running in a bright set of textures and opalescence. The effect is as a small galaxy that becomes jewel and is, in fact, produced through the use of labradorite, a stone that has fluctuating reflections in colors ranging from gray to pale blue to blue. The silver and labradorite set is particularly successful. The collection consists of two necklaces, two bracelets, two rings and three earrings. Lavinia Andorno

Chaumet on the Milky Way

To Josephine, first Empress of the French and first wife of Napoleon, Chaumet was been already inspired last year (article here). In his large villa a few kilometers from Paris, the humid Malmaison, Josephine Beauharnais had withdrawn (she was not very happy, actually) while Napoleon was engaged in the Campaign of Egypt and, to pass the time, she cultivated roses and hydrangeas. For this Chaumet launched last year, the celebratory collection to remember this conjunction between the nobility and gardening. The renewed Hortensia Milky Way, instead of being declined on the pink shades, took as a model the hydrangeas with florescence that is more blue. Hortensia Milky Way is part of the Jardin collection. In this case, the flowers are made with a cascade of diamonds, the rays of the Milky Way, in addition tanzanite, sapphire and white chalcedony. A garden under the stars and the imperial auspices: the collection also has a lot of emotional references. Alessia Mongrando
