California dreaming with Sheryl Lowe

Published on April 22, 2022

Bracciale con amazzonite e rondelle con diamanti

Imagine the beaches of California, surfing, a soundtrack with the progressive rock of the seventies: if you look closely you can also see Sheryl Lowe.
For about 20 years Sheryl has been designing and producing jewelry with the same spirit that she had when, as a girl, she spent a lot of time between waves and Californian sand. But her career began as a make-up artist in the Hollywood studios: she curated make-up in 30 films and, above all, between a foundation and a mascara she met the actor Rob Lowe, whom he married.

After leaving makeup and cinema, she became passionate about interior design and, finally, jewelry. Work and spiritual convictions have pushed Sheryl to travel the world, and to transfer her experience in the jewels, which testify to a multicultural echo, with iconic references that seem inspired by the California of the children of flowers, between the symbol of peace and small Buddah as pendants for necklaces . Her jewels were worn by Maria Shriver, Gwen Stefani, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz and Oprah Winfrey. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of her jewelry is donated to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

The diamonds and jewels of Samer Halimeh, among the best in the world. So much that sometimes they are too loved ♦ ︎

Samer Halimeh is an American jeweler of Lebanese origin. It is based in New York and is loved by stars like Naomi Campbell, Oprah Winfrey, Elton John and the royal families of Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Brunei. Precisely the esteem that extends to the East has caused many problems for the jeweler. In fact, some time ago, he sent 44 jewels worth 11.5 million pounds to Rosmah Mansor, wife of the former prime minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak. Which, unfortunately (for him) was not re-elected. Three months after the electoral defeat, the jeweler had not yet received back the jewels, which had not even been paid. An unfortunate case, which ended up in the newspapers.

Apart from this misadventure, Samer Halimeh you can say he is a lucky and talented man. He is famous for his diamonds, and to find the best stones he goes directly to where the mines are, especially in Africa. That was how he discovered and cut the famous Ocean Blue diamond, which gave him world fame. His creations have been auctioned at Sotheby’s and Christie’s, or are worn on red carpet stars. Its clientele spans the world, from Arabia to Western Europe, to Russia and the Far East. Where perhaps he will be more cautious now.

Anello della collezione Petra con ametista e diamanti

Kara Ross, the American designer jewelry that is appreciate to people like Michelle Obama (https://gioiellis.com/kara-ross-piace-michelle-obama), Oprah Winfrey and Demi Moore, loves contrasts. She likes the combination of old and new, worked and raw, chiseled and smooth. This is evident in the Petra collection, which takes its name from the great archaeological site in southern Jordan. A series of rings using the strong contrast stressed by a division into two of the upper part of the jewel. A thin strip of gold, wavy, with small diamonds, marks the border between the rough stone, as found in nature, and the area worked by human hands. Result: the crystals of the gems that are found in their natural state are often even more fascinating of the stones cut in geometric dimensions. Amethyst, opal blue, hemimorphite blue, green chrysocolla, uvarovite: stones that look just emerged from subsoil assume an unexpected dimension. On the other hand, the designer is also a gemologist: one who understands the value, origin and characteristics of the stones that triumph on the jewelry he designs. Lavinia Andorno
