JEWELRY – THE ULTIMATE ACCESSORY
Never underestimate the impact a stunning cuff or a whimsical ring might have on the way you feel and the way people feel about you. Jewels speak volumes…
As we see it, jewelry should be organic – with each delicately hand-crafted piece having its own identity. At HIRSHLEIFERS, we have put together a coterie of jewelry designers that represents that vision.
.
Jeweler to the stars, Loree Rodkin – whose precious gems adorn First Lady Michelle Obama and whose gothic-inspired jewels have long been featured at HIRSHLEIFERS – now has company. We are excited about our expanded collections which include Sevan, Bochic, Hoorsenbuhs, Mark Davis, Aurora Lopez Mejia and most recently Monique Pean, Natasha Collis and Kristen Ferrell.
Sevan Bicakci, Turkish jeweler to the jet set, is known for his one-of-a-kind pieces, hand-crafted out of 24-karat gold and sterling silver, rose or antique cut diamonds and a wide variety of specially cut gemstones. His jewels are whimsical, elegant, opulent and attention-grabbing.
.
Bochic offers a broad selection of elegant cuffs, bangles, earrings and necklaces hand-crafted in gold with richly colored stones reminiscent of the pastels and hues of Morocco, Istanbul and the Mediterranean. The effect is dramatic and romantic.
.
Hoorsenbuhs, a celebrity favorite, offers handsome gold and silver tri-linked signature rings and bracelets, which are elegant in their simplicity and modern feel.
.
There’s the rich, colorful gem-studded Bakelite vintage cuffs, bangles and gems of Mark Davis, the modern master of Bakelite, and the 18 and 22 karat gold gem studded amulets, bracelets and rings of Aurora Lopez Mejia, all inscribed with hand-stamped personalized messages of love or other words of inspiration. We are also proud to include among our organic and hand-crafted jewelry offerings, an extensive selection of silver and gold necklaces, bracelets, and other hip jewelry from the ever iconic Chrome Hearts.
And then there’s our newest additions. New York jewelry designer Monique Pean, is a force to be reckoned with. Traveling the world as a child with her father who worked for the United Nations, she was inspired by the indigenous art of Africa and Asia. In her first collection, The Bering Collection, she integrates naturally colored pieces of fossilized ivory – some more than 20,000 years old – with recycled gold, stones and diamonds to make one-of-a-kind pieces. The jewelry is entirely sustainable and a percentage of the profits is returned to a local organization that furthers the education of indigenous artists, the Alaska Native Arts Foundation. In a more recent endeavor, she has teamed up with Charity:Water, a non-profit that provides clean drinking water to developing nations , to create gorgeous pieces made from recycled gold and conflict-free diamonds. http://www.charitywater.org/
Born in London, Natasha Collis launched her jewelry collection five years ago. With an instinctive gift for color and form, she creates memorable hand-made pieces that feature a tiny gold nugget motif interspersed with precious and semi-precious stones.
Artist and goldsmith Kristen Farrell creates one-of-a-kind jewels that bespeak style and individuality. It’s all in the details which are subtle and hidden within. Her appreciation for mystical creatures and medieval armor influences her work, which is fashioned from precious metals and the finest gems. Her jewels have been seen on Tyra Banks, Jessica Alba and other superstars.
