Glittering Jewels for a Good Cause
Banner Elk, NC June 30, 2008 -
"Jewelry designer Mia Katrin has made a special donation to the treasure
chest of art objects set to be auctioned off at the upcoming Mountain
Palette Arts Gala on July 24. Katrin, whose emerald and gold necklace was a major attraction at the American Heart Association's 50th
Anniversary "Heart Ball" last February in Charlotte, continues her
generosity with this latest creation, multicolor sapphire and tourmaline
earrings in 18kt gold. The earrings, to be featured at the Gala's live
auction, have been designed especially for the Avery Arts Council's
annual fundraiser for the arts."

"The Queen of Gems" by Diana Jarrett, GG
Rappaport Report
"Designer Mia Katrin of Jewel Couture LLC has traveled the world buying gems in locations such as India and Sri Lanka. Ruby briolettes and beads feature prominently in her sumptuous designs favored by Hollywood celebrities. Katrin's ruby rough hails from Kenya and is cut in India. Her clients adore ruby, so she pairs the stone appropriately with high-karat gold and platinum. The Ruby's transparency, or lack of it, contributes to the final price of her stylish designs. 'I have a necklace of transparent deep red ruby and diamond briolettes in 18-to-22-karat gold for $9,500, but also a necklace of large, deep red opaque ruby briolettes, with substantial 18-karat gold bars for $3,600. The client has a choice.'"

Briollettes are my current obsession, and when designers are turning out beautiful pieces like this, it is no wonder why.

Briolettes Make the Cut
Filed in archive Necklaces by tammy on August 24, 2007
Briolettes are still super hot right now, especially for gemstone jewelry designs like these from JEWEL COUTURE LLC who continues to expand on its Precious Briolette Collection.
A briolette is a side-drilled, rather than drilled from top to bottom, bead. It is also very often faceted, like you'd see a faceted stone in a ring for instance. The company has some bragging rights too:
Recently, the Collection's Ruby Heart Necklace was the featured piece at the American Heart Association's Gala Event in NC, where it was widely publicized throughout the state. JEWEL COUTURE LLC is again parterning with the AHA for its white-tie 50th anniversary prestigious Heart Ball in Charlotte NC, early 2008, where Mia Katrin will be creating a fantastic featured piece designed specifically for the event, and will receive wide publicity.
