Celebrities Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have teamed up with jewelry designer Robert Lee Morris to create a line of jewelry for the Olsen’s apparel line called Elizabeth and James. This latest news just confirms the huge trend of celebrities paring up with jewelry designers to create or endorse fine jewelry collections. I’m sure the Ashley and Mary Kate jewelry line will do very well but my favorite celebrity jewelry combination still is Christina Aguilera for Stephen Webster jewelry.
Since we posted the our blog on Carrie Bradshaw’s pearls we have gotten quite a few inquiries on the exact length and size for the pearls. According to the official release from Mikimoto and the sharp eyes of the JRDunn.com buyers who saw the movie, Sarah Jessica Parker’s Mikimoto pearl strand is a 8.5 mm opera length (32 inches) and retails for $11,900. Stay tuned for more celebrity jewelry news!
Christina Aguilera performed on May 31st in Las Vegas for the first time after her pregnancy at the launch of Stephen Webster’s new sterling silver line of jewelry. Aguilera has always been a huge fan of Webster’s designs and when she was asked to be the ambassador for the brand she happily agreed. This isn’t the only big news happening at Stephen Webster, Terri Eagle who was the head honcho over at David Yurman and later John Hardy, is the new president over at Webster. We think the new management coupled with Christina as the spokesperson is going to be an amazing combination for the brand. What do you think?
Having just returned from the 2008 JCK Vegas jewelry show I can tell you that pearls were hot but they are about to get even hotter. How do I know this? Well my wife and her girlfriends went to see the Sex and the City movie last night and when she got home she couldn’t stop talking about how great Carrie’s long strand of pearls looked.
After doing a little research, I found out from my friends over at National Jeweler that Carrie was wearing a long pearl necklace by none other than Mikimoto! Remember way back when Carrie wore the diamond horseshoe?
