Coachella

The new dreams of Jaquie Aiche




New-signed Jaquie Aiche collections: the California dreamer who cherishes freedom ♦ ︎
The new jewels by Jaquie Aiche remain faithful to the creative philosophy of the designer who from California proposes those atmospheres and those dreams that enchanted during the sixties and seventies. A little Coachella, a little Power Flower, for free and liberated women. This combination combines the brand image choice that combines jewels with a sexy atmosphere, with models in sensual, very provocative poses.

his desire for transgression or, better to be a bit maverick, Jaquie Aiche has also acquired it thanks to a youthful past in a multi-cultural environment with Egyptian and American parents. An unusual cultural fusion, which is at the basis of the cool mix of symbols and styles used for her collections: turquoise, fossil and precious gemstones, Middle Eastern influences with hammered gold, amulets and images of gods. Her simple and eye-catching jewelery has brought it to the fore in a few years and she is now favored by a host of Hollywood stars and not only. Here are his latest proposals.

Michael Kneebone, the jewels of the desert

From the California desert to Coachella’s atmospheres: the jewels of Michael Kneebone ♦ ︎
Withdraw to live in the desert, to draw jewels and (presumably) count the cacti from the window. This is what Michael Kneebone did, who together with his partner, interior designer Herbert Smalley, left Illinois to take refuge in El Paseo, California, not far from the Coachella Valley, where the famous festival takes place. The city is located in the Palm Desert, which in reality is not too desert, but a popular tourist destination.

Michael Kneebone designs jewels that are sold in his laboratory, or can be bought online. They are traditional jewels, unique pieces often with large stones, sometimes even sold to finance non-profit organizations.
Michael Kneebone’s career began in 1970 with a jewelery course in Deerfield, Illinois. An apprenticeship with the designer Harriet Dreisiger followed. The jeweler has therefore founded his brand, Michael K. Jewels, with a style that finds its proper place in the Californian atmosphere of Coachella and surroundings, but also well introduced in the high Californian society. Gold, but also semi-precious stones like citrines, amethysts and opals are flanked by emeralds, sapphires.

Jacquie Aiche for the summer





The new jewels by Jacquie Aiche, Californian fantasy on free exit ♦

Jacquie Aiche represents the California that you imagine: sun, freedom, informality in clothing and, of course, also in the choice of jewelry. The 2019 spring-summer collection confirms the impression. The designer was inspired by Mother Nature, Earth and Heaven. All the elements within the collection, textures and shapes, the way in which diamonds and gold blend together, and precious stones, lead to a sense of new ease and freshness.

Raised with Egyptian and American parents, Jacquie Aiche adds diverse, opposite cultural and aesthetic stories. From this unlikely combination of heritage, she took an interest in the jewels of American Indians, pardons, Native Americans, fossils and gems, but also Middle Eastern influences with hammered gold, amulets and symbolic images. Her chains for the body and bracelets are in the classic Coachella philosophy, uninhibited, out of rules, but at the same time well accepted by those who follow them and, perhaps, establish them.
