de GRISOGONO jewels are like no others.

Daring, opulent, sexy and glamorous.

Just like the women who wear them

they're alive with emotion and passion.

Behind the red carpet moments

and the glittering celebrity parties,

in Geneva, is a dedicated team of designers and craftsmen

who make each and every jewel by hand

from start to finish

using the traditional skills and tools of high jewellery,

all sparked by founder Fawaz Gruosi's creative genius.

Cannes 2017 sees the launch of 'Love on the Rocks':

de GRISOGONO's latest high jewellery creations.

Fawaz Gruosi's love of precious stones

comes to life in these voluptuous jewels

that reflect his passion for perfection.

And it's not just about the huge stones and the fabulous colours,

each jewel is alive with movement and delightful details,

and always with a touch of playfulness.

Take these diamond earrings

festooned with over 500 diamonds

including briolettes that shimmer with every move,

a 20-carat D colour heart shaped diamond ring,

is like a halo of light.

But none of these jewellery pyrotechnics would be possible

without the Geneva atelier's dedication to perfection.

The smooth settings and cascades of diamonds

are thanks to hundreds of hours of meticulous work,

and minute adjustments and corrections

by the master jewellers

checking and testing every step of the way.

Fawaz Gruosi's designs come straight from the heart

and are often provocative and unexpected.

de GRISOGONO loves to combine different stone cuts

or daring colour combinations.

And because no detail is too small, even the tip is decorated with a gemstone

as are the heads of the claws holding stones in place.

And even the hidden parts are elaborately decorated

with the house's scroll motif.

Ready for the limelight, these jewels are set to shine for eternity.

The AXA Research Fund | Supporting Research for Progress | 2017 - Duration: 3:59.

SUPPORTING RESEARCH FOR PROGRESS

A YEAR WITH THE AXA RESEARCH FUND

At AXA, we want to empower people to live a better life.

There're many scientists & researchers that do follow that vision.

We really want to support those scientists that share this vision

for better societal progress, and for a better life for everybody.

For the last 10 years, the AXA Research Fund

has been partnering with the brightest and most innovative researchers

to really support them for a brighter future of this world.

You've made sure that my postdoc has been very very smooth

and very well done,

You've connected me to any researchers I needed to be connected to,

you've provided all the funding I needed to be funded,

and it's all because of AXA.

For 10 years now, the AXA Research Fund

has been continuously evolving to help researchers address

the new challenges our societies are facing.

The fund supports best in class scientists that really help

to improve our health, to protect our environment, to develop our economies,

and to really help us to get through this data driven technology revolution.

Excellence is at the heart of our philanthropic model.

Thanks to a transparent and rigorous selection process,

we are able to support attract and accompany

the best scientists across the world.

Let's hope that together, we can make some real progress

in helping our ageing society.

To be useful, science needs to be shared.

At the AXA Research Fund, we've always valued

getting science out of the lab.

We encourage those researchers who have this willingness

to make their science understandable and useful for the people.

Popularization skills are very very important,

because to be able to take part...

The AXA POP DAYS communication training... It was very important for me

both at the personal level and the career level.

The AXA Research Fund also encourages all the supported researchers

to really share all the knowledge for the benefit of all,

to adapt ourselves to future hazards, and to contribute to decision-making

because at the end of the day, this serve to the good of the whole world.

This is a sediment core. As deeper down into the sediment you go

the further back in history.

We also value very much, we encourage and we support their own initiatives

because they're very creative, and they have their own ways

of sharing their science. And we are very convinced

that all together, the researchers with the AXA support

and the supports of their institutions can contribute

to make the future better.

They are looking at the biggest issues

we are facing the current and the future generations.

Issues such as the consequences of climate change, health developments,

and longevity to have a healthy ageing.

Concepts from airplane engineering...

These are the big issues they're bringing, and they are bringing us

better information and better insights on all of these topics.

And that's important because if we are better informed, we are better prepared,

and we can therefore face the adversaries in a much better way

towards a safer, healthier and prosperous tomorrow.

The AXA Research Fund today is a recognized partner

for the academic world and one of the largest

corporate philanthropic initiative in Europe.

Monoprinting - Duration: 6:54.

Hi, this is Dina for Splitcoaststampers.

In today's video I'm going to share a few different ways that you can create monoprints

using pigment inks.

Monoprinting is basically printing a one-of-a-kind painting - all the coloring and work is done

on a nonporous surface with paint or ink, and then transferred to paper.

I'm going to be using a large acrylic block for this example, and that's also used in

our photo tutorial by Julie Warner.

I'm using these ColorBox Petal Point inks which are beautiful pigment inks, and I'm

going to do a layered print, so i'll start by just inking up the entire block in the

lightest blue.

When you do layered prints, it works best to work from light to dark, so the lighter

colors show through where we add texture or take away ink.

I've got the block covered, and I'm going to take my cardstock and lay it down onto

the in, then press around the full panel to make sure that I get a good coverage.

I'm using a craft knife to lift up the corner, and you want to make sure to lift it without

sliding it across more ink, so you preserve your print.

So there's my first layer.

For the next layer I'm going to use a darker shade of blue, and cover the panel, but this

time I want to add some texture to the ink by lifting some of it away, so I'm going to

lay this piece of bubble wrap into the ink, and the ink is going to stick to the plastic

and pull up.

I'll take another print, pressing around really well, and you can see where the bubble wrap

pulled up the darker ink, the lighter ink shows through.

I'm covering the block with my darkest blue ink now, and I'm going to use these texture

tools to add some wave patterns to the ink.

These are just inexpensive children's art tools - you don't need anything fancy.

One more print, and again you can see how the earlier layers peek through those waves

and add depth to the print.

These inks dry slowly, so I had enough ink left to take another print as well.

Here's another example, and for this one I'm going to start with a yellow base - I wanted

to add texture with the bubble wrap, and because it still had blue ink stuck to it from before,

I was able to transfer that back and create a colored pattern instead of a negative pattern.

I can also use the inks to stamp right onto the block, so here I'm creating a single layered

design instead of taking multiple prints to create a design and this one is really a true

monoprint.

This time I'm using the handle of one of my tools to make sure I lift up all the ink - you

could use an old credit card as well - anything that would help you get full coverage on your panel.

I noticed that I missed a spot here, so I was able to line up my card again and pick

up that area that didn't get inked.

For this print, I liked that bubble wrap accident, so I did that again, and then inked up a large

background stamp to add a full pattern to the print.

If you use a large stamp like this, you'll want to be sure that you don't slide it on

the block -that would be really easy to do with all this ink on there already.

I'm switching now to my Gelli Plate to try the inks out on that surface - these didn't

exist when our photo tutorial was made back in 2009, but they're a really great way to get a monoprint,

and because they give a little bit, you can use other tools like embossing folders and

stencils to add depth to your prints.

I'm inking up with the yellow first, and I'm going to press into it with this clear background

stamp - that pulls ink away and that will add texture to our base layer.

I'm going with green next, and to that layer I'm going to press in this embossing folder

- this is one that was too big for my machine when I got it, so I cut it in half and use

it for gel printing - I love how that looks.

For the final layer I'm going to cover the plate with this darkest brown ink, and lay

a stencil over the plate, then use a tool to press in to the gelli plate and pick up

that brown ink in the stencil openings.

I love how clear that is.

After I pull the stencil away, there's still ink on the plate where the stencil was covering,

so I'll take a print again and I have a second ghost print to use as a background.

I've inked up with brown again, and I have my already-inked background stamp - that prints

the background right into the ink like I did on the acrylic block - I'll press that down all over,

and there's another background idea.

I've always thought that pigment inks needed to be heat embossed or they would never dry,

but I learned from our friends at ClearSnap that they can also be heat set with an iron.

The best way to do that is to lay the inked-up panel under a paper towel, and then run

a hot iron over it for about 30 seconds.

I honestly have avoided pigment inks for years because I'm terrible at heat embossing, and

I'm so grateful to know this little trick!

I hope I've given you lots of ideas for monoprinting with pigment ink, and I thank you so much

for watching.

'Sun Mhaari Surta' by Jamali Bai - Duration: 8:20.

Stay strong in your heart

Don't show your wretchedness

In the hour of struggle, He comes to you

Don't be flustered by sorrows

Walk on time-honoured ways

Be without greed or malice

If you can, be kind to others

Don't spread slander or gossip

You're a guest for a few days here

Don't let your love for Hari flag

Chimnesh says, stay cheerful

Once you go, there's no coming back

Such seekers, such yogis are hard to come across!

Where ever I look I see You
