ENG. Women's love for jewelry is even more deep and connected than the love for shoes or clothes... This, for two main reasons: 1st. jewelry definitely lasts forever; 2nd it manages to represent our style in a very intimate way. So this is the reason why Juana wanted to dedicate a post to the Regnier Jewelry, beautiful one of a kind jewels from Nathalie Regnier. Not only because I think she has great talent but moreover because of the concept behind and the style which is a combination of sophistication and easiness, is very much what Juana loves. And if I have to tell you the truth I can't wait to get my hands on each one of her pieces!
So who is Nathalie? She is an artist and a very natural and beautiful woman who has created a line of jewelry with a very unique concept and designs perfect for all of Juana's lovers! For my pleasure she is also an alumni of my precious school, Colegio Bolivar from Cali. She creates handmade pieces combining materials such as diamonds, gold, crystals and Colombian emeralds with natural ethnic fibers and feathers. She developed her concept through various trips she was able to do to the Amazon due to her husband, who actually has the wonderful and cool job of saving big cats by working with the Panthera organization. Through these trips she got in contact with the indigenous peoples of the Amazon and Choco who now are the ones that provide the natural ethnic fibers and feathers to her. She works very closely with the indigenous groups because for her it is very important to help out their community as well as to make sure that none of these feathers or ethnic materials come from animals killed for the sole purpose of creating the jewels. The materials of these jewelries are unique not only due to the precious stones but also due to the ethnic materials that come from virgin tropical rainforests.
For me this is the true idea of modern luxury; going back to the basics of nature, seeking uniqueness and craftsmanship, as well as having an ecological and a social concept behind with a high level of design and personal style. I for sure, can see Nathalie through her jewelry and what truly amazes me is her capacity to translate her passion into these pieces of art and it just makes me want more…
So Juana is definitely a fan now, how about you guys?
