They say diamonds are a girls best friend.....

With diamonds being a girls best friend, we have found a collection that every woman will love!

Christopher designs founded in 1981 by Christopher Slowinski, born in Poland and apprenticed under a master jeweler in his native country then in the United States. His created a proprietary diamond cut using his classic training with modern technology to create Crisscut® stones. This patented cut of diamond enhances scintillation, the diamond shows up brighter white and the same carat weight of a classic cut shows up to 50 - 60% larger. And what woman doesn't want her diamond to look impressive. With this collection that is exactly what you get, a diamond that is beautifully cut with a big look.

You will have to come in to see the collection in person at Provident Jewelry, as the jewelry is stunning. Any girls who loves diamonds, this is a must!

Panthère de Cartier

The Cartier Panthère watch was initially launched in 1983 and in production until the early 2000's when the company decided to discontinue the watch. It's a classic and chic style that every woman can wear from your grandmother to your daughter. Truly one of the rare watches that has that versatility.

In 2017 they reinstated the watch in 32 models to choose from.  There is a range of metals and finishes. The square case has a screwed-down bezel and a brick-lay link bracelet with hidden folding clasp. All options are quartz movements, which in my experience most woman prefer a battery operated watch over.

Do stop into Provident Jewelry to see our selection, I would love to work with you!

Miseno

The Miseno jewelry line is a modern day collection of fine jewelry that is fashion forward. Brand founder, Antonio Cardamuro, previously was with jewelry houses such as Bulgar, Bedat and Buccellati. Buccellati is where I met Antonio approximately a decade ago. Our paths have continued to cross over the years and I have always enjoyed him as a person and to see him expand in the jewelry business with his own collection.

Antonio is from Miseno, Italy himself, the line pays homage to the town's storied past, undeniably neptunian influence pervades over the collection. Miseno's name derives from the mythical famed trumpeter Misenus, who lost a famed musical battle to the sea God Triton. A point of fact is that the Roman's believed that entering the city of Miseno through the ancient Roman arch,  Arco Felice, one would find love and happiness. What a beautiful thought!

Antonio's vision began to take shape with such rich history and incredible landscape as his muse. The collection is extremely feminine  and fashion forward with a modern twist. Diamonds, pearl and semi-precious gemstone embellishments, beautifully capture the influences of the ocean and other nature elements. 

Below are several photos of the line and you will see the soft feminine lines as well as modern look in Antonio's designs.

Behind the scenes of Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele

The global brand Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele appointed to his current position in 2015, has taken the Gucci line to new heights. The line was stagnant for sometime, yet since Alessandro has brought his flair for costume design to the brand, we are seeing sexy with a twist of chic trendiness.  I personally love some of the new Le Marche' des Merveilles jewelry, which loosely translates to The Path of Wonders.  

He's an avid collector of many things, such as he has over 360 pairs of shoes in his closet, 35 different copies of the childhood story book Alice in Wonderland and collects miniature Meissen porcelain pugs. So, the whimsical style makes sense as his mother was in cinema and his fascination with Alice in Wonderland as well as his love for costume design.

In 2015 he was awarded the "International Designer of the Year" at the British awards held at the London Coliseum. The New York times called him, fashion's modern mastermind! Alessandro Michele a relatively unknown name in the design world before 2015. And, since on the scene has introduced "gender equality" by dress male models in an unconventional fashion. The 2016 Spring/Summer women's wear collection was largely appreciated and documented as "something more eccentric and bohemian". 

Now in 2019, such a short time for his success he is known as one of the top global influencers! Quit a cry from no one knowing who he was.... To see the newest eclectic, feline motif fine jewelry Gucci collection do come visit me at Provident Jewelry at 766 5th Avenue South, Naples, FL 34106 or call me at 239.784.2682. I look forward to working with you!
