Goddess glamour blooms at H. Stern
Leaf it to H. Stern to take the fleeting beauties of nature and freeze it forever in immortal gold and ice. Two new collections take inspiration from flora, giving the term “petal-pushing” new meaning.
The Sofia Fiore collection revives the floral styles that were so successful in the ’50s and ’60s. Set with a gradation of white, yellow and cognac diamonds, these pavé-set rings and earrings are executed in H.Stern’s trademark 18K noble gold, in the form of sparkling flowers that add a subtle romantic accent to any fashion ensemble.
The Hera collection draws inspiration from the leaf crowns and other natural elements worn by Greek gods in ancient Greek mythology. Bold leaves bedewed with cognac diamonds are delicately outlined in 18K noble gold and or 18K yellow gold, with a special textured finish developed by H. Stern artisans. Rings and earrings replicate the iconic leaf-crown images referenced in mythology. You’ll never look at fig leaves the same way again. No wonder Hollywood goddesses Halle Berry and Debra Messing chose these designs in an effort to echo their Greek counterparts.
When founder Hans Stern introduced the world to colored gemstones in 1945, no one could have foreseen that his company would eventually cater to modern women independent and affluent enough to buy their own jewelry.
The 65-year-old company makes it a point to launch collections every year that stand out thanks to their technical and creative innovation. Thanks to the media mileage it gets from the many celebrities who wear its bijoux, H. Stern has established itself as one of the top prestigious jewelers in the world and a high-profile luxury name today.
H. Stern is available only at Adora Department Store, on three levels of Greenbelt 5, Ayala Center, Makati City.
