#JWLV Take A Walk Through #LUXURYbyJCK Part 2

Take a walk with me as I visit some of the fabulous companies that make up the LUXURY by JCK show.....

There are two large areas for LUXURY by JCK this year, the LUXURY and PRESTIGE floors, and way to much loveliness to fit in just one post....

First up - let's look at A& D Gem Corp., who's recent foray into the jewelry world, DVANI, has (as far as I'm concerned) been a resounding success!

As you approach their booth (LUX-335) you see the fabulous displays showing off their work with celebrities, like Rihanna at the Met Ball!

Last year the Opal from DVANI was stellar and I have to say this year has followed suit.

I love the colored halos on these....

Opal isn't all they do - DVANI has an incredible line of Diamond and Colored Gem Jewelry. One of the pieces I couldn't leave without a photo of was these darling, multi-gem, square cut, diamond ear climbers!!!

Some of my other LUXURY favorites are....the "Drop Dead Gorgeous" Erica Courtney....

I really love this new delicate, flirty look...

....I've said it before and I'll say it again - Erica uses some of the most stunning pearls.

#JWLV LEGENDARY JEWELRY DESIGNER MARIA CANALE TO DEBUT AT #COUTURE

LEGENDARY JEWELRY DESIGNER MARIA CANALE TO DEBUT AT COUTURE

The best-kept secret in fine jewelry to showcase eponymous collection

for first time during Las Vegas Jewelry Week

Maria Canale, designer of iconic collections for Tiffany, Harry Winston, Mikimoto, and Movado among other notable jewelry houses, will make her debut Couture debut in Las Vegas this June.

A 25-year industry veteran, Ms. Canale launched her namesake capsule in 2014 with an exclusive collection for Neiman Marcus. Her Couture exhibition denotes the beginning of the expansion of a wholesale network, as well as her lifestyle brand, which will eventually include luxury home and travel accessories.

Debuting at Couture, the 140-piece diamond-intensive collection is comprised of 80 current styles and 60 new ones. The assortment includes classic designs and more fashion-forward pieces, important jewels and casual styles, and will feature, for the first time, colored gemstones. To express her love of nature, Maria selected a palette of Blues and Greys, using sapphires, moonstones and diamonds, inspired by the sea, a constant source of happiness and comfort.

Maria also selected, from Gemfields, a group of one-of- a-kind ethically sourced Zambian emeralds that will add a vibrant touch of Green to a selection of bespoke pieces. The entire Maria Canale 2017 collection features a broader range price points starting with accessible luxuries, from $1800 to $7000, designed to welcome a set of new, younger brand loyalists into her world.

Below: a Sketch of a Bracelet created for a client at a Bespoke Event featuring Gemfields Emeralds, and a Maria Canale Classic Ring in Emerald.

These developments come in addition to her well-known classic, timeless pieces already available at Neiman Marcus, which keep her current clientele satisfied and loyal.

Speaking via phone from her Watch Hill, Rhode Island home, Ms. Canale shared, “I am very excited to join the Couture community. It is an ideal platform to showcase my point of view as a designer and as a woman. I hope to convey, with this new group of designs, that along with trends, there comes a time when a woman begins to use timeless, quality pieces to say who she is, build her own personal style.” She adds, “ I do believe that in the waves of change, we find our true direction. It was time to grow our brand, speak to women at various moments in their lives, and celebrate all that lies ahead.”
