David Webb’s zodiac

Published on January 9, 2021

Collana con pendente in oro e in oro con diamanti, segno del Toro

New collection dedicated to the zodiac signed David Webb. Given the trend of 2020 and the beginning of 2021, it is not surprising that the horoscope still has a good number of fans, despite the fact that no astrologer has foreseen the arrival of the covid. But, in spite of rationality, the zodiac is also a game that amuses many and, in any case, exhibiting a sign that describes the period of the year in which the birthday is expected, does not hurt anyone.

The 12 pendants inspired by David Webb’s astrology are worked on both sides. They are made of hammered 18k gold, and are considered unisex. The signs of the zodiac are available in two versions with or without diamond pavé. Prices range from 4,900 for pendants in 18-karat gold only to 7,800 for those with diamond markings. Among other things, the collection is based on sixties designs of the American Maison loved by Jackie Kennedy and known for the carved and enamelled animal bracelets, the large gold necklaces, the colored sautoirs, the Maltese cross brooches, the use of pearls, diamonds and rock crystal.

Medaglione Sagittario in oro giallo e diamanti

The jewelry collections dedicated to the zodiac, with the icons of the 12 signs of Western astrology, are nothing new. But few are cared for in detail and have the quality of that made by Briony Raymond, designer from New York, with an atelier that produces many pieces of high jewelry. The collection dedicated to the zodiac is made of gold, with small diamonds set in medallions to hang around the neck. But, above all, the jewels are treated in detail and have a sculptural shape.

The result is also due to the cultural background of Briony, who took her first steps as an art historian and expert in vintage jewelry. In fact, her jewels, in addition to being impeccably made, also have a classic flavor. After completing her art history studies in Paris, Briony Raymond immersed herself in the world of finance in Europe and the United States. But she quickly moved into the jewelry industry: she worked eight years as a high jewelry expert at Van Cleef and Arpels in the famous Fifth Avenue main boutique in New York City. Where the desire to found her jewelry brand was born. And she did it perfectly.

The signs of Zodiac by Verdura

The zodiac signs are one of those themes that jewelry never tires of reproposing, alongside flowers, hearts and eyes that chase away evil spirits. This time it is the Verdura brand from New York to propose a collection, Zodiac, based on Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius and so on. As is known, the brand uses the name of the refined Italian designer Fulco di Verdura, a noble Sicilian who in the 1930s achieved fame by designing jewelry for major brands, before setting out on his own. Verdura loved going to the Hayden Planetarium of the Natural History Museum of the great American city.

The constellations and zodiac signs were to fascinate Verdura, because the current owners of the brand, president Nico Landrigan and father Ward Landrigan, found a set of 12 postcards bought nearly a century ago by the designer in the museum’s gift shop, each containing a illustration of the zodiac murals from the room dedicated to Copernicus. Here, then, that starting from those postcards, now the zodiac signs become gold and diamond jewels with the name of Verdura. No astrologer had foreseen this.

The new mysterious cosmos of Elie Top, between zodiac, hidden mechanisms, symbology… ♦ ︎
Secrète Cosmogonies. That is the secrets of the cosmos or, better, of the stars loved by astrologers. The zodiac signs, in spite of scientific findings, are a game of society that still thrills many people, men and women. For some, associating zodiacal signs with behaviors and forecasts is fun, for others it is a faith. For all of them the whimsical French designer Elie Top has launched Cosmogonie Secrète, a collection that reveals and obscures the zodiacal signs engraved in the jewels, which have movable elements. Jewels that the designer presented at the Couture in Las Vegas.
The passion for the stars, in any case, is not new for Elie Top, who launched his jewelery brand in January 2015, after having worked for many years with important companies and designers such as Alber Elbaz, Lanvin, Yves Saint Laurent , Loulou de la Falaise, Baccarat, Roger Vivier. It is no coincidence that his first line of jewelry is called Mécaniques Célestes, which was followed by the Etoile Mystérieuse collection. All jewels are also complicated objects that seem to come out of a fantasy tale, amulets or mysterious mechanisms capable of producing spells. Who knows if Elie Top’s horoscope had predicted it.
