Chicly gothic, so Arpita Navlakha, designer and founder of Sutra, the brand that also Michelle Obama likes, defines her jewelry. Of course, with all that gold black setting in which they are embedded large and colored stones, molded like snakes, feathers, wings and other complicated shapes, perhaps a little gothic really are. No doubt are bold, but the result reflects a sophisticated opulence that has nothing of the dark symbolism of fairy tales. Indeed, cascading earrings, intricate rings and necklaces that lay gracefully on the décolleté, included studded bracelets with exotic stones, are meant for a confident, stylish, the quintessential of the modern woman, says the Huston based designer. In short, these pieces are as multi-faceted as the women who wear them. Here pictures and dollar prices of the latest collection. Monica Battistoni
