Jewellery inspired by Olympic values

The long-awaited Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games (6–22 February) have arrived, drawing global attention. As Milan and Cortina strike a balance between urban pace and high-altitude air, jewellery offers an aesthetic attuned to Olympic qualities. The only collection created specifically for the occasion is “Cortina” by Antonini Milano. The brand has developed a series of pieces in diamonds and white gold, or in rose gold with champagne diamonds, pairings that evoke the purity of snow-covered peaks and the unrepeatable shades that color the Dolomites at sunset.

The creations express a balance between nature’s unpredictability and the event’s symbolism. Take the rings, designed and crafted with a special internal spring that makes them flexible and comfortable. Beyond this explicit tribute, other collections align with the current mood of athletes and spectators by tapping into the same emotions. “Vittoria” by Comete Gioielli was conceived to celebrate personal milestones and uses a symbol that feels especially present right now: the ribbon. A ribbon as both finish line and starting point, marking the recognition of an achievement. Diamonds and precious stones become a way of saying, “I earned this.” Crivelli’s “Brave,” meanwhile, shifts the focus to mental resilience: cunning, initiative, wisdom, translated into pure geometries, illuminated by gold and diamond pavé. A natural alignment with elite sport, where courage is a constant posture.
