<The Crown of Love> is elegantly crafted with 18K white gold, the five newest engagement rings from the 3D-GOLD x Dorian Ho Wedding Collection transform a lifelong promise into the crowning symbol of love: a diamond ring. The refined D-shape settings on both the “Dearest” and “Dignity” rings not only represent the partnership between 3D-GOLD Jewellery and Dorian Ho, but also, like diamonds themselves, illustrate the everlasting nature of love. The other three rings, “Devotion”, “Desire” and “Darling” come with flower-shape settings that symbolise how love blossoms with time. In order to make every engagement ring unique, designer deliberately chose not to mount these rings with core diamond, leaving the groom-to-be with the task of selecting a sparkling diamond to adorn the ring. As a result, each of these rings represents the lover’s own unique promise.

 

<Twinkling Love> 18K white gold wedding bands fully illustrate the beauty of love by combining the tenderness of white gold and the sparkling radiance of diamonds. These diamonds brilliantly twinkle like stars in the infinite galaxy, making this set the best reflection of love’s eternal nature.

  

  

The <Love Blossom> is 18K white gold wedding bands consist of unembellished half-flower outlines. When combined, the two rings form a complete flower pattern, symbolising the unified destiny of the couple. The centre of the flower, embellished with glamorous loose diamonds, will eternally shine into the hearts of each couple.

《LOEWE @ AW2012 Ad Campaign》

Loewe celebrates a new spirit of Spanish character in the latest AW2012 ad campaign.The creativity and exacting excellence of Loewe’s iconic creations have been feted for generations. Just as immutable quality never fails to be appreciated by the world’s most demanding individuals, the art of Loewe’s leather goods has long been adored by customers sharing the brand’s insistence on impeccable craftsmanship, using know-how that has been honed to perfection over the course of 166 years. It takes an informed eye to fully appreciate the care and attention that has been lavished on every product leaving the Loewe studio - and the audience that appreciates such sophistication of technique and refinement of craft is now broader than ever. This talent and achievement is the spirit that infuses Loewe’s campaign for A/W 2012.

The imagery brings together five of Spain’s most highly regarded artists, actors, singers and models, set against the convergence of heritage and modernity to striking effect. Joining the cast for the shoot are: internationally renowned actress Ángela Molina, who has appeared in over 100 movies; Clara Lago, the young rising star of European cinema; singer Eleonora Bosé, frontwoman of the band The Cabriolets and one of Spain’s most successful models; Andrés Velencoso, also a famous Spanish model and a longstanding Loewe collaborator; and fellow fashion model Antonio Navas.

The five were selected on account of the strong and spirited sense of character they are already known for: Eleonora for her fearless and uncompromising sense of self; Ángela as a stylish and sensual screen icon; Clara, the youthful Spanish beauty; Andrés, the embodiment of relaxed Mediterranean charm; and Antonio for his classical good looks. They each bring a distinctive, individual spark to the shoot - which is why Loewe has already worked with Ángela, Bimba, Andrés and Antonio on previous campaigns.

The idea behind the shoot was to give each of the five participants a fictional persona compatible with their own personality and allow them to interact and improvise before the camera. ‘Working as a model is about playing a role’, says Eleonora. ‘Everything was very natural and real; we were free to interact with each other just we would in real life’, says Antonio of the way their improvised drama unfolded before the cameras. Directing the proceedings were Mert and Marcus.

The location chosen for the shoot was the Fernán Nuñez Palace in Madrid, a masterpiece of neoclassical architecture built for the Dukes of Alburquerque and Fernán Nuñez in 1846, the same year in which Loewe was founded nearby. And just like Loewe, its splendor has been preserved by artisans that have tended to it for generations. In its day the palace was the favored location for Spanish high society’s most extravagant parties, and its ornate gilt detailing provides a backdrop for the shoot that is redolent of both royal tradition and bohemian decadence: grand but relaxed, monumental but intimate.The shoot showcases the chic black (minimalism) of the AW2012 collection and, of course, the bags for the season: Loewe’s signature Amazona, bright red suede, in oro and in black crocodile; the soft and flirtatious Flamenco, in russet; and the Granada, Loewe’s new bag inspired by the medieval splendor of the city of the same name, in magenta.

BVLAGRI @ The New Monete Jewellery Collection

BVLGARI New Monete Jewellery Collection is a fascinating memories of divinities of earth and sea, eloquent documents of dynastic triumphs, proud testimonies of the prosperity of ancient cities: an entire world is contained within the round contours of an ancient coin, a tiny masterpiece of aesthetic sophistication, upon which Bulgari bestows an unexpected modernity. Ancient coins and jewels have long been elevated by Bulgari to the status of “objets d’art”, in keeping with the respect for tradition and for its own cultural heritage, perhaps best expressed by Nicola Bulgari in a 1982 interview: “To these ancient coins, relics of the past, we offer a second chance at life: rather than closing them in a drawer, we transform them into living things”.

As such, their stories live on in the timeless elegance of jewels that are the iconic and inimitable embodiment of Bulgari’s stylistic and artisanal sophistication. The first Monete jewellery collection debuted during the era of the ‘Dolce Vita’, when Bulgari asserted its signature style of rounded forms, decisive contours and harmonious volumes that draw their lifeblood from the Hellenistic and Roman origins of the maison. From precious, one-of-a-kind pieces crafted rigorously by hand with an extraordinary attention to detail – now part of the Bulgari Vintage collection – comes the inspiration for the new models of the new Monete collection.  

This is how the intrinsic beauty of unique exemplars in silver, of great historical and artistic value, is preserved and accentuated by settings in pink gold and juxtapositions with mother-of-pearl. An especially striking example is the sumptuous sautoir that alternates circular motifs in mother-of-pearl and diamond pavé with ancient silver coins, giving rise to a composition of soft forms and warm, luminous tones.

  

 The necklace with the single pendant, on the other hand, highlights the importance of the ancient silver coin, endowing with the centrality worthy of a precious gemstone. The bracelet also plays on the alternation of mother-of-pearl circles and ancient coins in equilibrium of rounded forms framed in pink gold that capture a contemporary spirit while at the same time respecting the past. Ancient coins are irreplaceable historical documents, representing a journey into the mythology, style and customs of epochs and civilizations gone by. The fascination of the new Monete collection lies in the conservation of that past, and in celebrating it through a fresh, contemporary interpretation of what was, and remains, sublime.
