Who doesn’t dream about wearing one or more beautiful diamonds? This beloved gemstone has become a jewellery must. In addition to having a pure, unique beauty, diamonds also offer (often unsuspected) benefits. Here is a closer look at this stone whose popularity is well founded!

The benefits of diamonds 

Diamonds are known for detoxifying the body. They can be considered cleansers, purifiers. According to Indian beliefs, diamonds are an excellent remedy for exhaustion. They lead to a long life and, above all, good health.

Diamonds are said to boost the wearer’s confidence and creativity. The stone is able to purify the soul and expand energy. Diamonds also protect against harmful thoughts and negative energy. 

Hence, it goes without saying, diamonds are good for the body and for the soul.

How to choose an engagement ring?

How to choose an engagement ring

At GENEVE, we are here to help you live life’s greatest moments to the fullest. The engagement ring represents a major step, commitment and, most importantly, great love. We can’t convince your beloved to say yes, but we can help you choose the perfect engagement ring. Here are our tips!

Define her tastes

It would be a shame to give her a ring that does not suit her. For this reason, the first thing to do is to determine your future fiancée’s style. Does she like timeless looks or, on the contrary, does she prefer to wear unusual, extravagant clothes? Is she discreet, or does she like to assert her personality? If she usually wears jewellery, make sure to look at it closely. Does she wear yellow or white gold? Is her jewellery classic, bold, colourful? All of the answers to these questions will give you an initial idea about the ring of her dreams!

Which material to choose?

You should choose a colour and material for the ring that she will never want to take off. So, do not hesitate to take a look at her jewellery box to determine which colour she likes best. Is it white, yellow or pink gold? If you are doubting between two colours, we are here to help you choose which will suit her best based on her complexion. Know that white gold is extremely popular for engagement rings, as it is a solid, resistant and precious material.

Which stone to choose? 

After choosing the metal, you will need to select the stone that will adorn the ring. The diamond is the gemstone par excellence. However, you can certainly opt for a blue sapphire, an emerald or a ruby. 

Know her ring size

Another aspect that is as important as the rest: the size of her finger. When you give the ring to your soon-to-be life partner, she will want to put it on immediately. That is why we suggest that you discreetly borrow one of her rings to bring to us, so that we can determine her ring size. In the event that she does not wear jewellery on a daily basis, you will have to be inventive and describe the size of her finger in as much detail as possible.

All you have to do is ask for your dearly beloved’s hand and enjoy this magical moment.

El puente de los joyeros

El Puente Vecchio es uno de los más famosos del mundo

2 minutos de lectura

Este lugar es el más emblemático de toda Florencia, y no visitarlo es un pecado cultural, además es el puente de piedra más antiguo de toda Europa. Como joyería distribuidora de marcas italianas nos encanta compartir estos destinos de ensueño, sobre todo para disfrutar de la joyería en cualquier lugar del mundo.

Este puente fue construido en madera y posteriormente destruido por inundaciones, y en 1345 los arquitectos Taddeo Gaddi y Neri Fioravanti hicieron el actual puente sobre el río Arno. En él, principalmente había comerciantes que vendían su mercancía, sobre todo los carniceros, quienes había monopolizado los negocios sobre el puente desde 1442. En 1565 se construyó sobre el puente el Corredor Vasariano, una estructura elevada para conectar el Palacio Vecchio con el Palacio Pitti.

En el año 1593, el Gran Duque Fernando I, ordenó que los carniceros del puente abandonaran sus puestos de trabajo por el olor tan desagradable que había, y que a él le molestaban, para rápidamente darle el espacio a los joyeros y orfebres de la época, aumentando el prestigio del lugar. Hoy en día este es un punto de encuentro para la joyería italiana, donde se ven las diferentes tiendas sobre el puente con todas las joyas que hacen los maestros orfebres.

Este puente fue el único que no fue destruido por los nazis y según cuentan, es porque Hitler lo conoció en una visita a Florencia y ordenó no destruirlo, convirtiéndose en un lugar de refugio para los vecinos.

En el mismo puente hay una estatua dedicada a Benvenuto Cellin, un famoso orfebre del Renacimiento italiano, que se convirtió en uno de los orfebres más importantes de la época. El Puente Vecchio es conocido también como el puente de los joyeros, por la gran cantidad de tiendas que venden joyería italiana en el lugar, creando un ambiente muy bonito y romántico, ideal para visitarlo.

Esperamos poder ver muy pronto todos estos lugares maravillosos que nos da la oportunidad de conocer la historia detrás de cada pieza, ayudando a crear un vínculo más cercano con cada producto que elaboran los orfebres.
