Jewellery Masterpieces by Mario Buzzanca

The heir of an Italian family of jewellers and a son of the famous Italian film star Lando Buzzanca, Mario Buzzanca knows how to make a jewellery piece which is destined to be in the centre of everybody’s attention.
Mario Buzzanca became popular for his highly original designs embodied by the finest materials. The jewellery by Mario Buzzanca is especially notable for the South Sea pearls which are used in the majority of his products. The jeweller even offered a new interpretation of pearl jewellery.
“For years pearls have been pictured as a strand around a mother’s neck or perhaps in heavy mounted expensive looking earrings” says Mario Buzzanca, stylist and creator of Mario Buzzanca branded jewelry. “Just have a pearl hanging off your jeans, or your handbag and perhaps even your phone, and all of a sudden you will find yourself very casual, extravagant, elegant, and maybe one would even say “cool”. Wear them as a belt rather than a necklace, or how about a belt that turns into a necklace. I like my pieces to be versatile.” says Mario Buzzanca.
Mario Buzzanca always follows the latest trends in jewellery that’s why his rings, necklaces and earrings are always among the top jewellery pieces preferred by those who knows what’s what in jewellery world.

New “Diamond Record”
$ 24,300,000. This is a new record sum which has ever been paid for a single diamond. The new world record was set during the Christie’s jewellery auction in London.
“The record-holder” is the legendary rare dark blue diamond Wittelsbach of an unusual oval 50-faceted cut. The Wittelsbach weighs 35.56 metric carats and measures 24.40 mm in diameter and 8.29 mm in depth. It is pure apart from a few surface scratches that were probably caused during removal from its setting. The diamond has been cut with 82 facets arranged in an unusual pattern - the star facets on the crown are vertically split and the pavilion has sixteen needle-like facets, arranged in pairs, pointing outward from the culet facet.
The first record of the Wittelsbach dates from the latter part of the seventeenth century. The king of Spain Philippe IV (1605 — 1665) included the gem into the dowry of his daughter infanta Margareta Teresa (1651 — 1673) when she was marrying the Emperor Leopold I of Austria in 1664. Then the diamond for a long period of time belonged to the treasury of Austrian and Bavarian monarchs.
Previously the diamond was sold in 1964 to a private collector for $180,000. Now the Wittelsbach has been bought by the head of the jewellery house of Graff — Lawrence Graff.
Talk To Me, Harry Winston!
The founder of the famous jewellery and watchmaking house, the “King of diamonds”, Harry Winston was in love with the beauty and mysterious sparkle of diamonds. His passion to these marvelous gemstones inspired him to create real masterpieces of jewellery.
And now it inspired designers from Harry Winston to create a new jewellery watch — “Talk To Me, Harry Winston”. It should be noted that the idea to create such a watch was born on the basis of an old story which tells that Mr. Winston always kept a special engraved disc with 24 gems in his pocket. The inscription engraved on the disc was: “good luck, happiness, inspiration”. Today 290 sparkling diamonds decorate an elegant case of the “Talk To Me, Harry Winston”. The case of the watch is made of white gold and like the disc from the story is equipped with a rotary disc engraved with “Talk to Me, Harry Winston.” and detailed with 24 delicate diamonds.
The watch houses a quartz movement and provides the following functions: hours and minutes. The mother-of-pearl dial is protected with sapphire crystal. Water resistance is 30 meters.
The watch is coupled with an elegant pearl-grey satin strap with a white gold clasp decorated with 29 diamonds. Articulated and elegant, the sophisticated oval-shaped case is slightly contoured to comfortably fit a woman’s wrist.
