Bridal jewelry designer Sylvie Levine bejeweled models at bridal gown designer Kelly Faetanini’s launch event for her eponymous collection on April 13 during New York International Bridal Week, (April 14-16). Both designers specialize in creating customizable collections. The inspiration for Faetanini’s inaugural bridal collection was the “Antique Jewelry Box,” perfectly suited for The Sylvie Collection’s sweet jewelry aesthetic.
“After studying all of the exquisite, feminine dress details of the Kelly Faetanini gowns, I couldn’t believe how perfectly my jewelry complimented Kelly’s gowns!” says jewelry expert and designer Sylvie Levine.
Read on to see the designer’s pristine pairings on the inspiration that led her there:
Large Quartz Earrings
The dress featured here shows Kelly’s playfulness. Because it is short and flirty in the front with a longer hem in the back, I paired large quartz crystal earrings that are fashionable and fearless. Although the long sleeves and lace skew it to be a touch more serious, the girl who would wear this dress would appreciate a larger statement-making earring!
Cushion-cut Tanzanite Cocktail ring
Color is a huge part of wedding-day fashion. Since all of Kelly’s dresses are white or cream, I decided to add our color in the form of a richly-saturated cushion-cut tanzanite cocktail ring. We chose a blue ring because the ethereal sheer top of the dress reminded me of the beautiful blue sky that every bride wishes for on her wedding day!
Floral Diamond Earrings and Necklace
Flowers and nature inspire me every day. I could not resist pairing this dress, which features a flower sash and flower-like ruffles, with some of my signature jewelry which also look like flowers. Shown here are floral diamond earrings and necklace.
Swirl Earrings
The bell-like silhouette of this final strapless, bell-of-the-ball dress mimics the shape of my swirl earrings. Because this gown exposes so much beautiful skin, it screamed to be paired with larger-scale earrings.
