Completely inspired during our 10-year holidays in Costa Brava, Spain, I thought I would show you how the jewelry world translates summer and sea into enchanting, magical jewelry pieces. Dive into this underwater world of wonders and discover how Le Vian, Lydia Courteille, Pasquale Bruni, and Carrera Y Carrera bring our beloved sea creatures to life!

 

Carrera Y Carrera: A Legacy of Elegance

Founded in 1885 by Saturio Esteban Carrera in Madrid, Carrera Y Carrera has grown into one of the most renowned jewelry brands in the world. A breakthrough came in 1960 when King Baudouin I of Belgium and Spanish aristocrat Fabiola of Mora y Aragón commissioned their wedding tiara from Carrera Y Carrera, honoring Fabiola's Spanish heritage.

Starfish Jewelry in Gold and Diamonds

Their starfish jewelry, crafted in gold and adorned with diamonds, beautifully captures the essence of the sea. These stunning pieces are perfect for adding a touch of oceanic elegance to your summer wardrobe.

 

 

 

Pasquale Bruni: Italian Craftsmanship at Its Finest

Established in Valenza, Italy, Pasquale Bruni was one of the first jewelry companies to invest heavily in marketing and branding. Known for their craftsmanship and ability to create iconic statement pieces, Pasquale Bruni's jewelry is both classic and innovative.

Creating Theatrical Jewelry

In a time when others filled their windows with as much jewelry as possible, Pasquale Bruni opted for a minimalistic display, creating a dramatic effect. Their main Milan showroom and state-of-the-art Valenza factory reflect their commitment to excellence.

Le Vian's use of brown diamonds, which they charmingly call "chocolate diamonds," sets them apart. Their collection is a testament to their graceful ambition and timeless appeal.
