This series will spotlight global
innovators who are original, known, lesser known and some perchance even
already highly regarded and respected within their areas of expertise. The common thread is style and fashion;
whether it takes its form in interiors, apparel, accessories, retail,
photography or any of the related professions that surround fashion and
style. Please note that some of my “cast
members” have chosen to follow a path than includes utilizing the “tools” of
the past thereby rendering a new and modern vision for today’s climate of
fashion and style. These “createurs” are at the vanguard of design and style …
in my opinion … and so I will introduce them to you on an international stage
starting today.
Today it is
all about jewelry; jewelry for men and women and jewelry that would be termed
both bridge and fine. The team of Yves Spinelli and Dwyer Kilcollin deliver
jewelry for the 21st century that is both modern and time treasured
which will become the heirlooms of the next generation. The materials of choice
here are sterling silver, 18k gold and pearls which add up to a recipe from the
classics and yet their pieces are unquestionably thoroughly modern.
They began in
2009 with pearls and beads and worked them in tandem with leather/fabric wrapping
which slowly evolved into the sterling stage and has now taken them in the
precious world of 18k gold and diamonds. What is so intriguing about the
jewelry is that their signature piece, which I will call the stackable
collapsible ring, can be for the man or woman in your life. Depending on how it is
rendered, with diamonds or in sterling or in sterling with 18k, the ring is
asexual. By the way, this piece is a personal favorite! One more variable is
depending on the amount of “rings.” It might also convert to a bracelet.
Be on the
lookout for more diamonds, South Sea pearls, precious stones and an expansion
of their signatures including a much larger selection of earrings and a greater
variety in the colors/finishes of gold and diamonds. Within the last month or
so they have been featured in ELLE and VOGUE, they are indeed on the ascent!
Special
thanks to the designers of LOYD+FORD for introducing me to these latest
additions to world of fine jewelry.
Could this
new a new trilogy or trinity ring? Just saying.
