Gem Ceramic By Etienne Perret Hits The United Kingdom

      
It's a very special feeling for an artist when their work gets recognized far away from home. ProfessionalJeweller.com is one of the UK's leading jewelry websites and offers great insight into the complex world of fine jewelry.

Recently the editors of Professional Jeweller discovered the Gem Ceramic collection and decided, despite the giant puddle jump and Etienne's relative lack of exposure in the UK, his designs were well worth the attention of their readers. Well done guys, no one can deny your good taste!

Time To Give Etienne Perret A Shot To Design A Colored Diamond Victoria Secret Fantasy Bra

   
Famous, amongst so many other wonderful reasons, for their extravagant annual tradition of designing an over-the-top Fantasy Bra, Victoria's Secret is a name that forever basks in the spotlight of consumer media. Every year we watch, in awe, for the unveiling of the V.S. Fantasy bra, what stunning jewels adorn it, and what outrageously wealthy woman it might end up enveloping.

But is there something deeper that the Fantasy bra represents, some type of knowledge we can glean from this flamboyant display of wealth? If anything it may be a clue as to the economic trends America is facing.

The budget for Victoria's Secret annual Fantasy Bra has been dwindling for several years now. Apparently responding to economic trends, this year's bra comes in at just $2 million retail, falling well short of the $3 million price tag in garnered last year, never mind the $6.5 V.S. dared to ask in 2006! 

Sadly, not only did this year's V.S. Fantasy Bra see the lowest sale value to date, but designers were forced to cut out diamonds of color all together, and could only afford to bedazzle their prized negligee with white diamonds, sapphires and topaz.

What a shame...If V.S. gave Etienne Perret the chance with that budget, you can bet your bottom dollar, he would electrify the Fantasy Bra with drop dead gorgeous diamonds in an exquisite variety of vivid colors. It is an absolute blessing of nature and technology to see all of the options that working with beautiful color enhanced natural diamonds has given us--for Etienne Perret, complete creative freedom comes in any color of the rainbow!

Etienne often uses natural color and white diamonds in his designs especially in the yellow, pink and brown ranges in his designs. However, he has found his niche creating the highest quality bridal jewelry using color enhanced natural diamonds. The use of color enhanced natural diamonds opens many doors, allowing Etienne to create beautiful custom designed rings, with easily sourced and exactly matching color diamonds, in nearly any color of the rainbow, at much more affordable prices.

Etienne's Gem Ceramic collection has recently been covered by luxury websites such as Robb Report, and worn by Toni Collette, star of United States of Tara, at the 2010 Emmy's. 

Contact Etienne and work with the Artist directly to custom design the colored diamond jewelry of your dreams at refreshingly affordable price!

A Sparkling Innovation: Etienne Perret Gem Ceramic on Robb Report

           
Any type of editorial coverage is welcomed by us, but sometimes we hit the jackpot. When you are developing a line of jewelry as spectacular as Etienne's Gem Ceramic collection, I suppose it isn't a big surprise that influential critics will fall in love with your work. Recently Jill Newman, senior style editor of Robb Report, came across Etienne's designs and couldn't help but feature them at RobbReport.com!

As a fine jewelry designer, if you ask yourself what's better than getting free, front page editorial coverage from a top notch luxury publication like Robb Report? The inevitable answer is...well, almost nothing!

That appreciation shined through in Etienne's initial reaction to finding out his Gem Ceramic design had been featured in the nations top luxury publication. 

"I have been contemplating how I can create beautiful jewelry in gem quality ceramic ever since the first ceramic Rado watches came out...It feels great when a vision that has taken over two decades to come full circle finally starts getting the recognition it deserves. Thank you Robb Report for sharing my designs and my passion with the upscale consumer market!"
