Designer Jules Kim has been making her way to the spotlight with innovative jewelry designs. Bijules NYC is a collection of Jules’ hard work and innate passion to create.

Looking to her father’s talents as a sculptor, the designer for Ivory Jewelery has begun to set out on her own path. Creating elegant pieces such as earrings, necklaces, rings and more, the designer never ceases to push the limits. Paying close attention to floral designs, Ivory Jewelry explores a road, down which precision and detail are widely recognized. Each petal of a flower in one of the works is done with such intricate detail, it truly is remarkable. When speaking of her designs, it’s clear that the designer has a purpose and several roots of inspiration. Of her purpose she notes, “I am of the opinion that the luxury is a posture which does not depend on the intrinsic value of the object, but on the message it conveys.” It is with this in mind that the designer is able to mold the works with her very hands. The delicacy of the pieces is really where there marvel exists. Look at an earring or ring and your immediately immersed in the presence of true charm.

The Marani label has stolen the spotlight, leaving everyone in awe. Exploring the ability to create a wide variety of outfits, Marani designs have endeavored to create laid-back pieces as well as much more formal works along their side. The sophistication of the pieces is really constructed by the material, which comes hand in hand with color choice. Subtle details such as gold trim along the dresses allow each work to tap into its true sophistication. Marani really knows how to cater to a wide range of interests. Refusing to stick to either a completely bright or subtle color palette, the label combines the two, producing works in simplistic whites and greys as well as more outrageous pinks. Marani not only designs the perfect pieces, its clear that they are also paired together in confident style. Meshing a bold yet simple pair of white shorts and shirt with a black sweater, the ability of the designer to create a golden match is shown. The collection is fit to wear in a variety of settings, so pick one up and your good to go!
