Are you looking for a very special gift for a special lady? Then take a look at the exclusive range from Paula Mendoza. Paula’s studios are in Colombia, giving her access to the finest materials. Trained as a sculptor, she now creates wearable art.

Her background in the field of sculpture is evident in her work, as is the Colombian culture and history. And yet this jewelry is completely up to date. Colombia’s gold is extremely rich and its emeralds are particularly lustrous and these materials make a perfect match.

They are perfect to choose as gifts for the truly stylish woman of today.

There’s no doubt that Jacqueline Kennedy was very much a style icon. And it wasn’t just American women who followed her lead – women all over the world were captivated by her clothes and her accessories. Many of these were truly timeless pieces that have become classics and that can certainly be said for her jewelry. There are some rather frightening statistics about how much her jewelry was worth.  But today, we can all enjoy her style.

We were so pleased to find an online retailer that sells gorgeously stunning reproductions of her classic pieces. What’s more, every item comes with it’s own certificate of authenticity proclaiming that the piece – be it brooch, earrings, a pendant or bracelet – that it is a faithful ‘reproduction of jewelry worn by Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, the First Lady of ...

Why simply wear jewelry when you can wear a story and at the same time show who you are and what you care about? You’ll also be helping charity, supporting talented artisans and wearing something unique. Yes, I did say ‘unique’ which isn’t a word I often use. The story began when two post-graduate students vacationed in Costa Rica.

There, they fell in love with the hand-crafted bracelets made by local craftspeople and their business was born. So yes, the bracelets are lovely but ‘unique’ and ‘ what you care about needs a little explanation.  People collect these items and wear them in their own combinations -the chances of finding someone wearing the same combinations as you is remote. You are in effect, designing your own jewelry display. More though – many of ...
