New store: Longines in Geneva!

Last month, the prestigious Swiss watchmaker Longines, synonymous with elegance, luxury and refinement, opened its new shop in the centre of Geneva

It all began in 1832 when Auguste Agassiz and two partners founded a watch shop in Saint-Imier. That same year, they produced their first movement, the 20A, a 20-ligne model that had an anchor escapement, a winding device and a time setting device. Over the years, the company established itself around the world, particularly in the United States.

The year 1852 was a key one for Longines, as it marked the arrival of the economist Ernest Francillon, Agassiz’s nephew. Taking the reins of the family business, the economist implemented a range of developments, including the Longines factory in 1867. Shortly after the opening of the workshop, the watch brand earned its first medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris, the first in a long series of recognitions. The winged hourglass brand, which is now part of the Swatch Group, is the oldest watch brand still in use, unchanged. Its watches are unmistakable symbols of passion for excellence.

New shop

At 40 Rue du Rhône, one of the best-known shopping streets in Switzerland, Longines’ newest shop windows have been waiting to be discovered since October 2021. The shop was designed to offer an elegant and luxurious setting.

On the outside, you will find a clean and sophisticated façade showcasing the brand’s identity. Inside, the shop is warm and welcoming, elegantly featuring an array of materials in the watchmaker’s signature colours. Moreover, it is the only shop with a Collector’s Corner, an area reserved exclusively for vintage watches.

Longines describes this new shop as “a contemporary interpretation of Longines’ traditional values and illustrates the brand’s innate ability to match elegance and innovation.”

A diamond for everyone

They say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend…

To have a diamond is to treasure a moment and make it an everlasting magical memory. Its strength and its regard throughout the world make it the most highly sought after mineral when in search of the perfect piece of jewellery. It represents wealth, clarity and abundance.

At Geneve Company, we love this stone and have an array of pieces with diamonds in different shapes. Each stone has very specific features that we should all know, and that is where the 4Cs of diamonds come into play.

Bangle bracelet in 18-carat white gold and 1.87 ct. in diamonds
  • Carat

Carat weight, abbreviated as ct., measures a diamond’s size. The more it weighs, the larger it will be and the more valuable it will be.

  • Clarity

Because diamonds are of natural origin, they have small imperfections called inclusions. The fewer the number of inclusions in the stone, the higher its quality.

  • Cut

This characteristic reflects a diamond’s sparkle. It will depend on a jeweller’s expertise, since the cut will determine how well a diamond’s facets interact with light.

  • Colour

Most diamonds come in shades ranging from white to yellow. A diamond with the least amount of colour is in fact the most valuable.

When these shades are more intense, the stone is referred to as a fancy diamond.

Earrings in 18-carat white gold and 1.43 ct. in diamonds

Types of diamond cuts

Princess

Traditionally square, but sometimes rectangular, princess-cut diamonds always have four corners.

Heart

This romantic shape is perfect for expressing love.

Oval

Oval diamonds are longer than they are wide.

Trillion

Triangular diamonds with three equal sides, which can be curved or straight.

Pear

These diamonds have a pointed end and a rounded end.

Some of our pieces where diamonds take centre stage are these beautiful necklaces:

Necklace with pendant by Geneve featuring 0.12 ct. in diamonds and a 2.32 ct. pear-cut aquamarine diamond.

Necklace with pendant by Geneve featuring 0.05 ct. in diamonds and a 0.92 ct. oval-cut diamond

Annamaria Cammilli, feminine elegance

Gold becomes silk in all of its pieces

2 minute read

Innovation, creativity and craftsmanship are the key words defining a brand that has been constantly renewing itself over the past 35 years while remaining true to its essence. Annamaria Cammilli is bursting with life, creating beautiful and delicate pieces that you will find at every Geneve shop.

Over 35 years of dedication to the treatment and processing of gold surfaces have made it possible to achieve the metal’s original colours and long-lasting velvety effects.
The most significant result of this knowhow is the famous Cammilli finish called “Aetherna”, which alternates shiny and silky effects that enhance the depth and volume of shapes and does not deteriorate over time.

The jeweller’s works are divided into four concepts with different kinds of feminine elegance that result in a great variety of inspirational pieces.

Texture

An interplay of threads that define the intertwining of a dynamic motif. The design is enhanced by a predominantly glossy finish for an intense and eclectic look.

The finish of Texture is primarily shiny to enhance diamonds and semiprecious stones. Texture is designed for women who combine elegance and versatility.

Vision

Jewellery featuring outstanding abstract design. Voluminous curves bordered by soft edges of diamonds, enhanced by a total matte finish.

A collection born of the evolution of sculptural volumes with the aim of creating pieces that go beyond the basic definition of accessory. With a total matte finish and an unmistakable style that gives a 3D effect to the piece.

Inspired by the movements of water, which is represented in all its forms, from the rippling of waves to the smooth surface of water.

Flowers

Pieces of jewellery as micro-sculptures that meticulously reproduce the perfection of nature. A contrast of shiny and velvety gold enhances the shapes and design.

A collection born thanks to the creativity of Annamaria Cammilli and her talent inspired by nature. True micro-sculptures that reproduce the perfect forms of nature, characterised by the special Aetherna finish and lovely handmade engravings.

Essential

A minimal design of lines and movements outlined by the twirls of a slender ribbon. Unique jewellery enhanced by the special Aetherna finish. A concept full of shapes and design, with a special Cammilli finish, where gold becomes silk to the eye and to the touch, alternating shiny edges that enhance depth and forms.

Cammilli pieces are the result of years of research and experimentation.
The Maison has eight sophisticated, original and recognisable tones of 18-carat gold that accentuate the uniqueness of Cammilli creations and have helped make them famous around the world.

Geneve carries eight collections derived from the four concepts described above, collections featuring delicate pieces in an array of formats. Visit our website to find your favourite.

Pomellato celebra 20 años de su icono

La colección Nudo nunca ha dejado de ser tendencia

Hace veinte años, la llegada del pionero anillo Nudo revolucionó el mundo de la joyería y nuestras boutiques cuentan con esta colección desde hace varios años, siendo testigos de la evolución de la marca y el gran estilo de sus joyas.

La premisa de Nudo era atreverse a destacarse como un anillo reducido a su esencia en un atractivo arco iris de colores alegres y brillantes, desafiando el tradicional anillo de compromiso de diamantes. Desde ese momento fundamental en 2001, Nudo ha disfrutado de un éxito duradero y su silueta minimalista se ha convertido en el diseño característico de Pomellato.

Como uno de los primeros anillos diseñados expresamente para apilarse, Nudo hizo que la personalización fuera fácil y espontánea. Hoy en día, la forma atemporal de Nudo es reconocida en todo el mundo gracias a la fuerza de su pureza visual, la gama siempre cambiante de colores vivos y su atractivo inherentemente táctil que no ha dejado nunca de ser tendencia.

Los primeros anillos presentaban los tonos vibrantes de granate, aguamarina, peridoto, iolita y turmalina roja. Esta genial combinación de colores atractivos con lo mejor del diseño milanés fue una combinación ganadora y los anillos Nudo se agotaron instantáneamente. Este cautivador recién llegado ofreció un intenso y puro color solitario que parecía flotar en el aire gracias a un sistema de fijación oculto dentro de la base de cada piedra.

Para ejecutar perfectamente las líneas limpias, los artesanos del taller de Pomellato necesitan cuatro días para hacer a mano un anillo Nudo

Rompiendo lo convencional en todos los sentidos, el anillo solitario era cuadrado y la parte superior de la piedra tenía una faceta asimétrica y suave distintiva. Este corte único es una adaptación de la forma de un cabujón en el que hábiles cortadores de gemas cortan a mano 57 facetas irregulares en su superficie. Tal ha sido el éxito que Pomellato tiene derechos de autor internacionales tanto sobre su diseño como sobre el corte.

A lo largo de los años, Nudo ha seguido revelando nuevos conceptos de preciosidad y hasta la fecha han habido 35 gemas diferentes engastadas en estas joyas.

En las boutiques Geneve Company tenemos disponibles diferentes colecciones como Iconica, Mama non Mama, Sabbia y por supuesto su icono Nudo. Ven a visitarnos para conocer lo mejor de cada colección.

Gucci Link to Love

A collection that evokes the nature of eternal love

2 minute read

A few days ago, the latest collection from Gucci arrived at our Geneve shops, and we are pleased to offer these pieces created to express love.

The jewellery in this collection is contemporary and unisex, representing the infinite cycles of life, romance and togetherness. A selection of elegant geometric styles that can be stacked.

The collection is crafted in three shades of gold (yellow, white and rose) and includes rings, bracelets, necklaces and a variety of earrings. The Gucci logo is used as a decorative element, imbuing the pieces with the brand’s image.

The pieces recall the 1980s, but with a more modern touch

Features

The octagonal shape of the rigid rings and bracelets evokes the idea of a figure eight as a symbol of the infinite while also making them perfect for stacking. The selection comes in 18-carat white, yellow and rose gold and features a smooth, studded or modern stripe-engraved finish.

The rings are available in different widths and the bracelets have an easy-to-open clasp. Some of the rings are adorned with gemstones and diamonds: the smooth band comes in white gold set with pavé diamonds, while the striped version is set with baguette-cut green tourmaline, rubellite or diamonds.

The collection also includes elegant necklaces, bracelets and earrings, all of which have a small hanging bar. The necklaces have a delicate chain and a central bar pendant and come in 18-cart yellow or rose gold as well as in white gold with a diamond-set bar.

If you would like to view the pieces in this and other collections by the Italian brand, you can make an appointment to visit one of our shops and an advisor will show you all the pieces available.

Marco Bicego celebrates the 20th anniversary of Marrakech

The jewellery designer is celebrating the anniversary with a new collection

The Italian master has devoted his life to creating finely crafted high-quality pieces, and now he is presenting his Marrakech Onde collection to mark the 20th anniversary of the brand’s launch.

The different collections of the Italian brand are available at Geneve, where we carry a wide variety of handcrafted pieces by this jewellery maker

All the jewellery is created at the headquarters in Trissino by master craftspeople who, with their manual dexterity, shape gold into unique and inimitable pieces of jewellery, like the women who wear them. The pieces express the refinement and elegance of a 100% Italian made product.

According to Marco Bicego himself, the pieces in the first Marrakech collection have made his brand recognisable, as have the other famous collections like Goa, El Cairo and Masai. The story of this series of pieces began when the Italian jewellery designer was still working at his father’s company and saw a chain discarded due to a defect. He then came up with an idea: the chain became a new concept of beauty –irregular, deliberately imperfect and unique– thus embracing this concept for what it was.

The creation of jewellery in an artisanal way is one of the hallmarks of the Italian brand

The new collection

Marrakech Onde was born from Marco Bicego’s knowhow full of craftsmanship and its own identity. It is a new, different, contemporary collection with a distinctive primary feature: lightweight and thin 18-carat yellow gold in the shape of a spiral and in deliberately irregular ovals adorned with pavé diamonds.

There are three different variations available:

1. More youthful and dynamic, with all the chain links in gold.

2. More classic, with interspersed diamond-studded ovals.

3. More romantic, with concentric ovals and small diamonds.

The bracelets

A semi-rigid mesh wraps around the wrist, creating an unexpected three-dimensional look.

The earrings

The concentric earrings are perfect for every occasion. They can be worn during the day for an elegant romantic look or paired with an evening gown, making them the focal point that enhances it.

The necklaces

It is a more lightweight version of a classic chain adorned with diamond-studded elements. It is perfect for any time of day.

If you like the pieces by this designer, come visit us and a fine jewellery expert advisor will help you find the perfect look with this Italian jewellery. You can book an appointment here. We look forward to seeing you.
