An overview of the time’s tempting offerings, between well-felt graphic effects and greens more in tune with the times.
Katarina Tarazi
Many jewelry designers are entering the market every year. A glance at Katarina Tarazi’s portfolio here is enough to understand that her universe deserves attention. A fascinating mystical aura emanates from the collections of this young British Lebanese designer. The exercises can be divisive at times, but the whole thing is meant to be warm and reassuring, invoking the talismans of ancient Egypt (Isis, scarabs and other protective eyes). More unique, her pendants scroll through tarot cards or declarations of love on fresh daisy petals. A precious fantasy world that is quite different.

Loev
A stylish new brand from Switzerland, Loev Jewelry bets on recycled gold and lab-grown diamonds. Subtle details, of course, but what strikes you most when scrolling through the brand’s many offerings is the extremely desirable jewelry design. You & Me enamel rings (above) Embellished with Asscher diamonds, wedding ring settings are finely cut or scattered with diamonds. A rather graphic austerity emanates from the whole thing. In short, a modernized Art Deco influence.

Again, it’s a pleasant surprise. At first glance, one would believe that Koppen had just arrived on location in Paris, so much so that the image licks and is in keeping with the times. And yet, behind this relaunch, launched by its CEO Alexandre Benamu and designer Sajina Dutertre, is well hidden the house that was founded in 1870. If some solid pieces from the archives remain for sale (such as gadroon rings or rings with large engraving. quartz), others appear. On the horizon are rings set on the edge of a shower of tsavorites, or rings of Hera, double-decked with rows of seductive sapphires. A beautifully staged proposal on their Instagram account that makes you want to know more about this jewelry house with a rediscovered past.
So-The Studio:
Attention talent. And shock. Because the first impression you get when you finally get your hands on the Maria Sole Ferragamo jewelry you’ve been admiring so much on Instagram is surprise. They were believed to be made of silver, gold or titanium. Impossible, because the young Milanese designer and granddaughter of Salvatore Ferragamo loves nothing more than to recycle scraps of leather into precious colorful jewelry that she imagines in her Tuscan workshop. A play of materials that allows it to release its volumes to make amazing chokers or ear jewelry that defy gravity. Architectural and confusing jewelry offered at low prices that won over Sotheby’s, who entrusted him with the organization of the Luxury Edit sale last September, and which we will soon be able to find in his first eponymous boutique in Milan.
Janet
Jeannette itself is not considered a new brand since it was born in 2016, but Caroline Aurousseau’s jewelry brand deserves attention because its collections are very different. Where many self-taught designers opt for delicate pieces of second skin (and thus it is difficult to identify them all), the Toulouse woman surprises with the volume of her knitting. You can choose from gold and affordable chains that are more classic but that make the look unique (like the Pia or Louise necklaces), without forgetting its flexible and domed rings from the Ysée line to around the neck or the “scrunchie” style. wrist.
Bookmaker
Returning to childhood jewelry, Hong Kong designer Melinda Zeman tempts with her sweetly nostalgic Boochier rings, marshmallow-style braids, playful spirals or simply tied like laces. All in an expensive version reworked with gold, diamonds and pop enamel, which has already conquered the concept store overlooking Dover Street Market.
