SICIS Jewels launches signature micromosaic jewellery collection at maison House of Rose
A breathtaking fusion of ancient Roman artistry and modern luxury has arrived in India. SICIS Jewels, the esteemed Italian house revered for its mastery of micromosaic, officially launched its high jewellery collection in Mumbai, hosted by the distinguished House of Rose at its iconic Ballard Estate location.
This isn’t merely a jewellery exhibition; it’s a presentation of wearable masterpieces. The showcase unveiled an exclusive range of high jewellery, fine jewellery, and exquisite timepieces. Every single piece is a testament to meticulous handcraftsmanship, brought to life by SICIS’s master mosaicists. They flawlessly weave together time-honored techniques, unparalleled precision, and a bold, contemporary aesthetic.
The foundation for this significant debut was laid with the creation of The SICIS Bar within The House of Rose—an intimate salon graced by a stunning, bespoke SICIS mosaic backdrop. This existing artistic connection provided the perfect platform for the natural evolution into SICIS’s first-ever jewellery presentation on Indian soil. While their jewellery is new to the market, SICIS is no stranger to India, having previously executed large-scale architectural and interior mosaic installations across the country.
During the launch, Gioia Placuzzi, Creative Director of SICIS, and Biren Vaidya, Managing Director of The House of Rose, emphasized their unified vision. Placuzzi saw India as a sophisticated market poised to embrace the intricate, labor-intensive micromosaic craft. Vaidya highlighted that this collaboration introduces a genuine, elevated art form to Indian collectors—a clientele increasingly seeking pieces valued for their unique creativity and intellectual property beyond just their material worth.
The essence of a SICIS jewel lies in its history. Rooted in a 2,000-year-old Roman tradition, these pieces are constructed from thousands of miniature, hand-cut glass fragments (tesserae). These minuscule elements are painstakingly fused with precious stones, resulting in sculptural, painterly works, often taking their vibrant inspiration from the natural world. The commitment to preservation of technique, material integrity, and artistic heritage is absolute, with every jewel meticulously created in Italy.

Van Cleef & Arpels Gives Its Iconic Alhambra a Pink Enamel Makeover
The Maison Introduces Five New Alhambra Creations Featuring Translucent Pink Enamel and Yellow Gold
Van Cleef & Arpels has unveiled a vibrant new chapter for its iconic Alhambra collection, introducing translucent pink enamel to the signature four-leaf clover motif for the first time. The new creations combine the Maison’s emblem of luck with yellow gold, bringing a fresh, contemporary expression to the enduring design.
The new five-piece selection comprises a Vintage Alhambra pendant, five-motif bracelet, 10-motif necklace, 20-motif long necklace and Magic Alhambra two-motif earrings. The earrings additionally feature guilloché yellow gold, adding texture and contrast to the pink enamel.
The distinctive pink is the result of several years of research at Van Cleef & Arpels’ enamel workshops. Inspired by the historic 17th-century “gold-ruby” technique, the colour is created using fine particles of gold rather than traditional pigments. Carefully controlled particle size, shape and concentration produce the desired translucent hue.
Adding to its visual depth, the enamel contains tiny bubbles, giving each Alhambra motif a distinctive character while creating subtle variations as the surface catches and reflects light. The motifs are framed by the Maison’s signature gold beaded contours, further enhancing the interplay between the pink enamel and yellow gold.
Since its debut in 1968, Alhambra has continually evolved through different stones, materials and colours while retaining its instantly recognisable four-leaf clover silhouette. The introduction of enamel marks another significant step in that evolution, bringing together heritage craftsmanship, technical innovation and contemporary colour.
With its new pink interpretation, Van Cleef & Arpels continues to reinvent one of jewellery’s most recognisable motifs, demonstrating how traditional savoir-faire can give a familiar icon an entirely new expression.
