Latest jewellery trends at Basel 2016
Every year I come away from the European Jewellery Fairs feeling inspired and invigorated about jewellery & my business specializing in Italian Fine Jewellery. Attending the fair annually has the added benefit of allowing me to always be up to date with the latest jewellery trends in jewellery as well as diamonds, gemstones and engagement ring trends. There are always subtle changes every year.
This year I attended Baselworld, an amazing showcase of the best of the world of jewellery.
Baselworld is truly spectacular with the huge 2 story booths with stunning external facades and interiors.
I love being able to bring back to New Zealand the latest industry knowledge and jewellery style trends.

Sarah Hutchings loves being able to bring quality jewellery to clients in New Zealand. The Italian language bestows so much meaning to a word. 'Orsini' is not only an Italian name, it is a word that implies: family, quality, style and lasting beauty. Steeped in such meaning and tradition, to Sarah Hutchings (Director of Orsini Fine Jewellery), the word was also an appropriate designation for a fine jewellery collection she lovingly hand sources from Italy.
Predominantly all the jewellery on display is handmade in Italy, using 18k gold, diamonds and gemstones. Orsini is proud to be a stockist of Gucci, and other stunning fine Italian brands including Pomellato, and also have an extensive collection of the playful Dodo charms and jewellery. Orsini also has a stunning collection of Hulchi Belluni jewellery on display, designed in Belgium by the talented Martine Hul, and handmade in Italy. Another gorgeous brand is Marco Bicego, a range that personifies 'everyday luxury'. Marco Bicego "The inspiration behind the creation of my jewels is rooted in my Venetian origins and the natural settings surrounding my territory. I have always believed in quality and in the secrets of Italian jewelry. The Marco Bicego brand combines old world tradition with contemporary design and conveys the typical values and details of Made in Italy. The distinct uniqueness of my timeless jewels can be described through artisan craftsmanship and imperfect shapes, always made in 18 karat gold."
Sarah, Harry & the team at Orsini also love to design and create custom made jewellery. Book a private appointment to preview the stunning collection of engagement rings & diamonds.

Orsini is committed to sourcing conflict free diamonds, the principles and terms of the Kimberley Process.
