#JWLV - Jewelry With History and Consummate Craftsmanship

One of the things that really impresses me about "Old World" Craftsmen is their attention to detail - not content to design and realize an elaborate piece of fine jewelry, they often went one step farther and conceived a custom made box to cradle the item...

This is just one of the things I most look forward to at

#JWLV - All Roads Lead To A Glittering Las Vegas!

It isn't just the twinkling neon that glitters over the Las Vegas strip following Memorial Day each year...like Tucson in February, the Strip lights up with a Golden Glow and the Scintillating spark of Diamonds!!!!

...and there are so many diamonds and jewels at the GLDA LV Show!  if you are familiar with it's sister show in Tucson, then you already know what to expect!  this is a Trade ONLY show!

What?  you say you aren't really into "that whole diamond thing"?  (I used to be that person - until I saw QUALITY Diamond jewelry!)

BUT - if that IS you, then the far end of the Strip at The Palace Station is the Bead Renaissance Show - for established Artisans or beginning designers this show is great fun!

ALL SHOWS WILL HAVE A TWITTER FEED AT #JWLV - I am tweeting this one at: #BeadRenLV

#JWLV - Two Magical Previews from Couture 2013

 

Couture 2013 Preview-Highlights!

Ivanka Trump Takes us on a Journey
Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry is introducing the "Journey," a new series of collections inspired by Ivanka's passion for travel, architecture and design. Each collection is directly influenced by Ivanka’s favorite locations around the globe. The voyage begins with "Metropolis" – meaning “mother city"; a line of 18k yellow gold and diamond jewelry, inspired by 1920’s Art Deco architecture, in Ivanka’s favorite city, New York. Each piece in the Metropolis Collection is designed with an ‘IT’ motif, signifying the Greek key – a popular architectural design during the Art Deco period. Born and raised in NYC, Ivanka says, "It was important to me that Metropolis was the first collection in the Journey series...the culture and atmosphere of this city have always been a major source of creative inspiration." Chambertin II





Mauro Felter's Path of Flowers
Mauro Felter drew inspiration for his new collection, "The Path of Flowers," from a valley near his hometown in Northern Italy called Vallecamonica. There are two mountains in this valley, Concarena and Pizzo Badile, where there is a light refraction phenomenon known as the "Spirit of the Mountain" which slowly dissipates with the rising of the sun. The mystical aura of this place influenced Mauro's use of color in his latest collection. He uses 18k rose and yellow gold with a variety of gemstones such as fire opals, Australian boulder opals, paraiba tourmalines, green turquoise, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and diamonds (yellow, brown and colorless). The Path of Flowers was named after a mountain path surrounded by colorful flowers that takes you to the top of the highest mountain in the valley. Design Atelier Salon #15
