Diego Binetti is just about one of the most fun fashion designers you can work with. He is uber excited about his new collection, which debuted on Sept 19th during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NYC on Manhattan's Pier 66. This season it was all about the sophisticated traveller, with maritime splashes of sea blue, magenta, and yellow on a solid base of sailor white. I adorned the women with huge artful cork necklaces, and lots of minimalist sterling jewelry. Here are some impressions of behind-the-scenes before the show, on a day with the most perfect weather! Its a fairly crazy scene back stage but filled with lots of adrenaline and positive energy. Binetti definitely rocked the runway and I am very grateful for the opportunity to have been chosen to show with his fabulous new collection, some of which you will see here...

hand-crafted filigree

Linhardt Design Studio now carries intricate filigree work from Colombia.

08.12.08
 colombia jewelry filigree
ABOVE: INTRICATE HAND-MADE FILIGREE HOOP EARRINGS FROM COLOMBIA; SHOWN IN RECYCLED STERLING SILVER.

Filigree is an ancient technique originating from Spain and Italy. It came to Mompox, Colombia during the Spanish colonization period when the Spanish arrived to this small Colombian town. Mompox was the main port, on the Magdalena river, where all sterling silver and gold was received from the Colombian mines. The Spanish jewelers taught the native people and created a fine legacy to their jewelry making skills of today. Filigree is made by Colombian jewelers with very rudimentary tools. The labor is slow and refined - very delicate sterling threads of different thickness are interwoven in endless circles. This jewelry is hand made using recycled sterling silver, 18k gold or 24k gold vermeil. To this very day, Mompox continues to be the "Colombian Filigree town." The above design as well as other hand-crafted filigree work is now available at the Linhardt gallery.

John Noble walked into my shop the other day and commissioned wedding rings for him and his wife of many years, Penny.

So the stylist walked in today and also pulled earrings from another designer in the shop, May Chen. Congratulations May, on your television jewelry debut!
