The Bite Magazine - Spring 2019 - Issue 24

H ave you ever looked at your wrist and thought: “this watch is not enough? It needs some- thing more to go with it.” Then you ponder on which piece of jewellery would best suit your current accessory. I have faced this problem when trying to match silver or gold accessories, with other items such as bangles and cuffs which often have different shapes and widths but there is a solution. To accompany their elegant and amazedly charming watch collections for men and women, Italian brand Ferrata based in Milan has launched a range of exquisitely designed jew- ellery pieces that would go perfectly with any outfit or accessory. So if there are times when you find it dif- ficult to match your timepiece to the type of jewellery you wish to wear, then Ferrata will help you solve this problem. The brand is undoubtedly vivid among other sellers in this market, but it refers not only to its beautiful prod- ucts but also to the history and core beliefs of it. Firstly, have you heard of the expression ‘via Ferrata’? It’s Italian for Iron Path. Being a valued brand in Italy that is appreciated by many, their watch straps are made of the strongest and reliable materials. Accurate design and high quality are at the heart of Ferrata’s products. The 316L stainless steel watch which reflects the standards of aesthetics and has exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion is used in the production. The watch face is made with sapphire crystal glass, which is accepted in the world as the hardest and most scratch resistant mate- rial. Their interchangeable straps are created from the most beautiful leather, tough NATO style nylon, or high strength Milanese style mesh. A very popular brand among Italian shoppers, Ferrata is gradually con- quering the European market. After many requests from their Italian clients, they decided to launch a jew- ellery collection and it’s fantastic. The elegant necklaces and bracelets which are crafted in 925-sterling silver have truly won my heart. Jewellery items such as the Bracciale Gold Turquoise, a gold plated sterling silver bracelet inset with turquoise Swarovski crys- tals is absolutely stunning. You’ll find similar styles in the Brac- ciale Silver Black, Pink Gold Tanzanite Rose, Gold Rose Water Opal, Silver Violet, Pink Gold Crystal, Pink Gold Vintage Rose, Gold Chrysolite and Silver Aquamarine. The necklaces are equally extensive with Collana pieces in Silver Aquamarine, Silver Tanzanite, Silver RoseWater Opal, Silver Violet, Silver Crystal, Silver Light Turquoise, Silver Black, Silver Vintage Rose and Silver Chrysolite Green. Having recently become a lover of minimalism, I had always respected bold and bright pieces, but simple styles are now my favourites. With no extra details, those exquisite exam- ples of jewellery craftsmanship are embedded with Swarovski crystals in different vivid colours, such as blue, green, red and purple. The accessories have been designed to match beauti- fully while wearing a Ferrata watch would look equally stunning when worn on its own or stacked together. “Ferrata’s watches are particularly popular among Italian fashion lovers due to their quality and versatile design, and we have been asked by many of them to launch other accessories made according to the same philosophy”, says the company’s Milan-based head of PR. “The clean and classic styles combined with consistent quality and use of high-end materials across both watch and jewellery collec- tions is still quite unusual in our price range.” The Ferrata watches are very eye catching. Every one of the five series timepieces share the ethos of Italian style with a Swiss heart, with every watch inset with a Swiss quartz movement. Provided by Ronda, one of the leading Swiss movement pro- ducers, you can be assured that the movement has complete precision, reliability and quality. Their watch collections are made up of Milano, Cristallo, Siena, Verona and Santo. While I love the total simplicity of the Milano and Siena collections, I can’t stop adoring the Cristallo collection, where simplicity meets the brightness bite accessories
