Tiffany’s First Look-Beauty and the Beads

200907082-1We got the latest news that Tiffany adds the Beads into Tiffany’s First Look Collection-Necklace of grossularite beads with shell of hand-carved chrysoprase, platinum-set diamonds and pink sapphires.The green is both a color and a call to celebrate the natural world. Tiffany answers with the gemstone grossularite, a green garnet. Twenty-four smooth grossularite beads were carefully selected for this elegant necklace. The polished stones are accented with a shell of hand-carved chrysoprase and pink sapphires that ingeniously hides the clasp and is embraced by a sea creature’s dazzling diamond tentacles.

The beautiful Beads was inspired by Nikki Butler. In her long modeling career, she travelled around the world, and her journeys have served as inspiration for her jewelry business. “I discovered beads on my travels and in my native South Africa,” she said. And while she loves the ethnic feel of beads, Butler describes her nikki b. line as “21st century beads that are all about simplicity, minimalism and modernity.”
