Designer Spotlight: Gabriela de la Vega

It is enchanting to read about a jewelry designer and begin to see similar stories about how designs are conceived.  Along with other designers, Gabriela de la Vega gets inspired by the gemstones, letting them sort of "speak to her."  She uses and is inspired by cognac diamonds, sapphires, tourmaline, emeralds and turquoise.  The collection of keys, which was started in 2003, and continues to be popular, is a favorite of mine.  A key can have so much meaning and symbolism to it, and Gabriela's pieces are each unique.  Check out some of the keys below, and her website as well to see her other beautiful designs.

The Katie Diamond Jewelry collection is full of pieces that are versatile and have great craftsmanship that will last from generation to generation.  Each necklace, ring or earrings will make an elegant statement when you wear them, needing no other jewelry at all.  The designer of Katie Diamond Jewelry studied goldsmithing and turned her hobby into her very own jewelry line.  The best way to describe her line is a juxtaposition of old and new styles with both eastern and western influences.  Check out her website where you can buy direct and check out my favorites below!

If you are wanting a website that not only showcases jewelry but will transport you to another world, Van Cleef & Arpels website will do just that!  Make sure you have your volume turned on, because the soothing music will have you in a relaxed trance.  The Jewellery Collection tab has a drop-down list of clickable collections, each are fun to explore.  Their jewelry has been worn by celebrities, featured in movies, and has walked down red carpets.  I like the trinket boxes that are bejeweled in diamonds and sapphires.  Luxury overload!
