Jewels, Jewelry Designer to the Stars, Shows VIB Her New Collection

susan — Sun, 02 May 2010 18:56:47 +0000

Friends of VIB, YOU are invited to a private showing of jewelry designer, Jewels’ latest ethnic jewelry collection. Jewels presents her latest collection in person. Her jewelry has been featured in numerous fashion magazines, and some recent collectors of her pieces include, Sheryl Crow, Adrien Brody, Patricia Arquette, and many more.

The showing will take place on Tuesday, May 11th 5:00-8:00pm on the Upper East side. Please RSVP to info@venusinbalance.com

People who know about Jewels’ one-of-a-kind designs call themselves “addicts”...and with good reason. There’s just something about Jewels’ necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings that automatically transport the wearer to an exotic place and time. Her masterful style of hand weaving fine antique tribal elements–amber, coral, shells, turquoise, gold, North African silver, coins, talismans, trade objects–into hip and sophisticated wearable works of art makes one forget diamonds and pearls even exist.

Spending her time between Santa Fe, New Mexico and Marrakech where she opened a design studio just over a year ago (not to mention her various excursions to North and West Africa, South America, S.E. Asia, Indonesia, Tibet, China, India, Afghanistan and Yemen collecting jewelry-worthy artifacts), Jewels has been creating masterpieces for more than 25 years. Her following is more of a cult phenomenon. Historically, Jewels’ has set up trunk shows for her small bohemian enterprise at chic, boutique hotels in Los Angeles and New York where clients come out of the woodwork to purchase her wares…east and west coast fashionistas, artists, art collectors, and young entrepreneurs. Even celebrities such as Sheryl Crow, Orlando Bloom, Candice Bergen, Ali MacGraw, Patricia Arquette and Adrien Brody have been enamored with the beautiful, rare and extraordinary power of Jewels’ designs.

That power is in her imaginative use of tribal elements (many of which are 100 years old and older) and how she connects modern women to the power of ancient cultures. Her refined eye as a collector and her nostalgic passion for the dreamy North African cities have made her designs the embodiment of tribal sensibility and sophistication of the chic women who wear her jewelry. While the designs are uniquely “Jewels’”, they still maintain the integrity of the objects’ origins, giving them a sense of legacy to pass on. Each piece has a history to invest in, to share and to imagine.

About Jewels, the designer:
The daughter of an Air Force pilot, Jewels spent her formative years growing up in Tripoli. She traveled extensively with her family from Tunis to Tangiers and recalls endless wanderings through exotic market souks with her mother. Struck by the beauty of the coral, amber, silver and gold–all the wealth of North African families –she says, “I was hooked.” After her education in Europe, Jewels spent many years traveling, living in India, South America and again in North Africa expanding her education of jewelry design and knowledge of cultural artifacts…and always collecting.

Through the opening of her Marrakech design studio last year, not only is Jewels finally able to present her designs to a broader audience, she has opened up opportunities for young, educated women who otherwise have limited work and benefit options living in Morocco to become skilled silversmiths and bead weavers. Coming out of this studio is some of her greatest work yet.

Tribal references recently made a splash at fall fashion runway shows from New York to Paris and Milan. Jump on this trend with JEWELS’ fall collection of exotic and tribal baubles. JEWELS travels the far reaches of the globe in search of rare and wonderful artifacts and talismans for her sought after jewelry designs. JEWELS’ creations are born in her Marrakech studio and take flight on her followers around the world. The following images are just of taste. JEWELS designs range from $150-$2,500 and can be found at various boutiques nationwide as well as by calling 877-988-1310.

Venus Workshop Series: Love of Wellness

karen — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 21:40:56 +0000

A new year has just begun, and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and we are cognizant of setting ourselves up successfully for a wonderful 2010! And so we offer our workshop series on love. Give yourself the Love of Wellness this Valentine’s Day. Gain a love of being confident, a love of nutrition, a love of feeling good…

In a three-part series (details below), and through discussions on nutrition and life strategies, Susan and Karen will help you build your foundation of love for food, for yourself, and finally, for your life. So often, we are focused on simply getting things done – in the most efficient and painless way possible that we forget to focus on what’s important. We forget about ourselves. We think that focusing on ourselves is overly self-indulgent or a negative thing, but then what happens is that we become our last priority.

It’s very easy to get in a rut and feel a bit down. But the thing is… what we put in our body, how we perceive ourselves and how we approach our lives – those are the things that dictate how much energy and happiness we have. But YOU are the foundation for your own life. If we are good within our own bodies, hearts or minds, other goodness flows from that foundation.

So join us for cutting edge tips for optimal nutrition, revisiting confidence and rediscovering joy in your own life. People have told us that they always have FUN at these workshops. Susan will lead a cooking demonstration on each of the three days, to insure that what you learn is easy to apply at home. Karen will lead you through exercises to help you unearth your passion and make those goals a reality. Figure out what you want to do and how you can do it in a happier, more energetic way. What comes with all of this? Weight loss and great habits that can last a lifetime. Finding your true Venus.

When: February 4, 18 and March 11th from 1-3pm

Location: midtown east, NYC

Cost: $350 (Venus deal: Sign up by February 2, and cost is $275)

Space is limited. Email us at info@venusinbalance.com to register or for more information.
