The irresistible career in the jewelry store of Arman Sarkisyan ♦

If you have a few thousand dollars (or euro, does the same) and you want break free of desire to wear an exclusive jewel, you can consider the production of Arman Sarkisyan. It is one of the most popular designers of the moment, and perhaps not by chance: his creativity is the result of the Armenian blood flowing in his veins. Apparently, he tells that even his father, a jeweler with 53 years of profession, he looked at him with surprise when Arman has taken the first steps in the jewelry. His father taught him the secrets of the trade, and Arman did the rest. With some aspect to emphasize: for example, Arman uses gold to 22 carats, particularly softer than normally used in jewelry.

He loves to work also with oxidized silver, unconventional precious gemstone, daring combinations, innovative compositions. His unique pieces are rare and disputed by his fans. The history of the brand that bears his name began in 2004, and has since racked up an impressive number of prizes reserved for designers. He lives and works in Los Angeles and, as he specifies, “in a house full of artists and thinkers.”

The glitzy jewelry by Shay, a Californian brand specializing in jewelry with many zeros (in the price) ♦
One of the songs that have characterized the sixties was California Dreaming. Those who know this lyric, knows that nostalgia of colors, the bright sky, scented air has infected around the world. But the colors of California are not only in the sky: they are able to enter the soul. So in 2002 Ladan and Tania Shayan, mother and daughter, have brought the colors and the clear outlines of the Californian landscape inside of Shay, luxury jewelery that combines a sophisticated design with that a little bling of the rich citizens of Los Angeles County.

Handmade and without making economy with stones, gold and platinum jewelry, the jewels are quite showy, but without falling into excess (with minor exceptions). Maxi chains of gold studded with diamonds are imagined to wear at wrist of high and haughty ladies at a party on the terrace of a five star hotel. Multi-layer rings surround fingers capable of supporting their size. In short, dreaming California you can imagine the world of film productions, men in tuxedos and women with jewelry designer Shay. If you like baguette diamonds and jewelry that does everything to not be invisible, take a look at their collections. Prices, of course, are also Californians.

Cannabis for Jacquie Aiche

Published on April 24, 2020

American newspapers report that alcohol consumption increased during the quarantine and it is easy to expect that cannabis, which is legal in many US states, will have the same success. Perhaps it is also in tune with this desire to defeat the bad thoughts related to covid-19 that Jacquie Aiche, designer of Beverly Hills, California, designed the Sweet Leaf collection. The sweetest leaves are those of marijuana. And, it must be added, Jacquie Aiche is certainly not the first to use the seven-pointed leaf of cannabis as an inspiration for jewelry.

But the Sweet Leaf collection uses the shape of the leaves of the plant together with a style that openly refers to the sixties atmosphere of the children of the flowers, when the use of cannabis was also considered a symbol of lifestyle change. And now, with the health emergency that has set aside that of climate change for some time, the idea of a sweeter lifestyle could have become topical again. The jewels are made of 14 carat gold with small diamonds and, in some cases, lapis lazuli or onyx. But not only that, the designer has added other accessories, such as lighters, and clothing, such as sweatshirts, to the jewelry collection.
