Gabriel & Co. Featured on The Celebrity Apprentice!

One of the brands we proudly carry in our showroom is Gabriel&Co. 

Winner Leeza Gibbons wore a gorgeous pair of silver pearl earrings along with silver wrap around bangles from Gabriel&Co. Carmen Marc Valvo collection at The Celebrity Apprentice finale!

On February 16, 2015, Leeza Gibbons was "Hired", being the winner of The Celebrity Apprentice, an American reality show hosted by Donald Trump, having raised $714,000 for her charity Leeza's Care Connection.

Leeza Gibbons is an American talk show host. She is best known as a correspondent and 

co-host for Entertainment Tonight, as well as for having her own syndicated daytime talk show.

The beautiful celebrity won $250,000 for her charity which helps families who are the caretakers of seniors with Alzheimer's. 

Trump admitted to Leeza Gibbons that he wasn't expecting her to win the competition and she replied "Never underestimate a woman with passion who knows where she's going and what she wants,”

along with wrap around silver bangles made with pearl and black spinel, which were also featured in the Mercedes-Benz Fashion week this past Sunday.


Both Gabriel&Co. and Carmen Marc Valvo recently celebrated their 25th anniversary and decided to join their design force and present a brand new hand-made sterling silver fine jewelry collection featuring earrings, bracelets, earrings, cuffs and cufflinks containing pearls and gemstone. 


This collection has a romantic vintage concept with sharp and modern lines. Some items are overlaid by black rhodium that creates an antique feel. 

  

Carmen Marc Valvo’s Fall 2015 collection is a nod to1950’s nostalgia with tartan plaids, pleated cocktail dresses and skirts, paperboy and aviator pants, all reminiscent of school girls and boys in a more glamorous and less complicated era. The Carmen Marc Valvo by Gabriel & Co. jewelry collection compliments the ready-to-wear line with stackable bangles handmade with sterling silver, stainless steel and diamonds, long layer necklaces and drop earrings made with black mother of pearl and white agate. The more luxurious pieces were paired with both women’s and men’s looks on the runway, and include sterling silver collar link studs and shirt studs bejeweled with Gabriel & Co.’s Shadowplay diamonds which boast subtle hues of pale yellow, white and grey tones.

“We are honored to partner with Carmen Marc Valvo as we continue to celebrate our joint 25th anniversaries,” states Chief Creative Officer, Berna Gabriel, “A true visionary and artisan, Carmen’s bespoke designs continue to inspire us, and it is our privilege and responsibility to make women look and feel beautiful.”

“This jewelry collection is filled with great synergy,” says Designer, Carmen Marc Valvo. “I’m especially excited about the new stainless steel pieces paired with precious gemstones, lockets and color adornments that exude elegance and nostalgic simplicity.”

Leeza Gibbons' victory in "The Celebrity Apprentice" on Monday night was one of the most dominant performances in the history of the show.  As stated by Donald Trump - "You lead with kindness - I don't see these people in New York, I see brutal, brutal killers, I don't meet people like you. You really do have tremendous talent and tremendous leadership ability.'

SO WHAT'S NEW IN OUR JEWELRY WORKSHOP?

So this is one of the things Gary has been unto last week. A beautiful pair of opal earrings which he had initially created 4 months ago. However that first pair was bought immediately by one of our dear customers, before it even made it to the showcase! She loved it so much that right after Gary showed it to her, saying "look what I just finished" she tried it on and did not take it off. So that was that! 

 Since we did not get the chance to show these gorgeous earrings to anyone else, Gary decided to make another pair last week. 

What seemed to be a crazy and basic sketch, ended up as an amazing piece of Jewelry which is Haute Couture at its best! 

Gary first started with designing the general outlines of the earrings. The next step was to decide what kind of Gemstones he will be using. Since he wanted to make them high end and festive at the same time, what could be better than iridescent and colorful jelly opals, contrasted by subtlety of blush color pink opals with a touch of diamond sparkle in between. 

Once the actual cast ion was created, Gary first set the diamonds in pave style,

and the next step was gathering together the matching size and color opals for the casting 

As you can see in the picture, the earrings were created with omega backs and a foldable post so that even if you don't have pierced ears, you can easily wear them as clip ons. There is also no risk of loosing the backs, since they are a part of the earrings. 

This is right before polishing 

And here is the finished piece on the ear. 

It is an amazing piece! Very substantial and very comfortable on the ear. 

What a journey from a simple sketch to a work of art!
