Editor’s Picks of Jewels of Italy
Senior Editor Hannah Connorton shares six strong jewelry looks from the Vicenzaoro Winter show in Vicenza, which runs through Wednesday.
It’s my first day back in the states since visiting the winter edition of the Vicenzaoro jewelry trade show, a bi-annual event organized by Fiera di Vicenza in the Italian city of Italy.
The Vicenzaoro Winter show is an exciting and relevant event to attend for a few reasons. First, many designers use the show as a stage to soft launch collections that will be brought to Baselworld in March and/or market week in Las Vegas, giving editors and buyers who attend the show a “first look,” so to speak.
Vicenzaoro also serves as a great venue for trend spotting. Whether its particular colors or gemstones that seem to be dominating the show, a noticeable number of mixed metal pieces or a motif that appears more often than not, I have seen for myself that many jewelry trends that manifest in the states were seen in Vicenza months before.
Finally, it’s an opportunity to see many Italian designers in their own element. Take Roberto Coin, for example. While retailers get the chance to see him often in the United States, from trunk shows to Las Vegas and whatever may fall in between. But seeing him and his newest lines in the very city he was born gives a full-circle authenticity to the experience.
I’ve compiled the below pieces as my favorite picks from the show, with original photographs of it being worn to give a true idea of how each piece is worn.
Vianna Brasil’s ring from the See collection, made in 18-karat rose gold with crystal and diamonds. Though this piece was not new at Vicenzaoro (jewelry the brand debuted this week can be seen here), it’s a feminine yet strong look I haven't seen duplicated anywhere else.
I fell in love with Casato’s new Noor line, made up of feather-like pieces made in 18-karat gold and set with emeralds, sapphires, rubies and diamonds. Vibrant, elegant and extremely comfortable to wear, I wish I could wear a fistful of these every day. (See more here.)
These rings from Roberto Coin are another fistful of precious metals and gems I’d incorporate into my regular rotation of jewels. These rings had a bowl shape to them, the agate, mother of pearl and black onyx set below the diamond pave rim, giving them a truly glamorous look. (See more from Roberto Coin at Vicenzaoro here.)
I had morganite and diamond dreams after trying on these rings by Pasquale Bruni. The way they fit together and slightly overlap to create a total petal-ed knuckle look that was both comfortable and chic made this an instant favorite for me.
And just one more from Vianna Brasil’s new Gávea collection. I was thankful that this day I wore a dress with a neckline that really let the cut and color of these gemstones do the talking.
