Best known for our hand-crafted Lucite jewelry, our bold and unique designs are the must-have statement making accessory each season. Alexis Bittar is the eponymous name of the jewelry brand founded by 2010 CFDA Accessory Designer of the Year, Alexis Bittar. Best known for hand-carved Lucite Bangles, our elegant, yet bold creations have been sought after since their discovery in 1992 by Dawn Mello, Bergdorf Goodman’s then fashion director. The care that goes into creating every necklace, bracelet, ring and earring reflects our belief that the pieces are to be viewed as collectible, modern heirlooms that will stand the test of time and trends. While undeniably luxurious, with many designs featuring semi-precious stones, we feel our work should be accessible, unique and attainable. Luxury in this case is in the design details, the quality of materials, and ultimately the way the pieces are cherished and worn. Our brand was born in Brooklyn and that’s where we’re based to this day. Alexis Bittar bought his first bock of Lucite in 1990 and holed up in his apartment to figure out how to carve it into the jewelry vision he had. Now over 25 years later, that original vision of handcrafted jewelry is still a core pillar of our brand and reinforced by our factory in industry city, Brooklyn where all our Lucite styles are handcrafted on site.

❤ ANDREOLI FINE ITALIAN JEWELRY – Andreoli fine jewelry is conceived, designed and meticulously crafted at its factory headquarters in Valenza, Italy – a global fine jewelry center and a city that carries on Italy’s centuries-old tradition of opulence and consummate style. The company now calls New York City home, operating from its Rockefeller Center headquarters, a stone’s throw from the industry-renowned Diamond District. Andreoli is praised for its bold designs and thorough craftsmanship – both marks of its proud Italian heritage and American sensibility. The Andreoli journey commenced in Italy in 1945, when the Hadjibay family began to amass loose precious gems, setting themselves apart as a leading purveyor in the region. The Andreoli name became known across Europe for vibrantly colored, top quality gems. By 1975, patriarch Jack Hadjibay – the descendant of generations of gem dealers evolved the company’s focus to intricate fine jewelry. Their pieces would go on to be commissioned by royalty around the world. Today, that legacy continues. Andreoli blends diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires with unusual and eclectic stones like pearls, coral and turquoise to yield dazzling, unique pieces. The team at Andreoli, under the direction of head jeweler Caroline Hadijbay, holds luxury as the core tenet of the brand. While Caroline leads the effort to expand the company’s U.S. presence, Jack remains the design and innovation backbone. They constantly seek fresh inspiration techniques, materials and motifs, using eye-catching enamel, precious metals and semi-precious stones, in addition to traditional gold and platinum settings, the house offers a limited selection of pieces made with lightweight and durable titanium. Their masterful combination of these materials, along with unmatched design elements, never fails to draw eyes and make a statement. Website: www.andreoliusa.com/
