NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Gabriel & Co., the most trusted leader of the bridal and fashion fine jewelry world, is delighted and honored that this month’s DESIGNER FLASH platform spotlights and celebrates the glorious work of Mark Badgley and James Mischka, whose magnificent clothes are the perfect wardrobe to match the sparkle of this holiday season. Badgley Mischka is celebrating 30 years of their devotion to glamour, and their brilliantly realized creations have been praised on such head-turning women as Kate Winslet, Taylor Swift, Brooke Shields, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Garner, the Duchess of Sussex and Helen Mirren. The secret to Badgley Mischka’s success is simple and pure. “We don’t try to be everything to everybody. We put glamour and elegance at the forefront of everything we do. Trends come and go but beautiful clothes that make women feel confident and wonderful are the reason why we are still here.”
That’s why here at Gabriel we were so delighted when Mark and James smiled the moment they saw our jewelry accessorizing their clothes for our photo shoot. “They’re just perfect, so clean and well-crafted,” said Mark Badgley, holding one of our Kaslique diamond shard necklaces up against the bodice of a form fitting Aegean blue gown with a ruffled hem. “It makes a statement without being overpowering. The right jewelry shouldn’t fight a dress for attention. It strikes a balance. And this piece is just right.” “It was music to my ears,” says Hal Rubenstein, Gabriel & Co.’s Global Style Director. “Our desire to create jewelry that is eye-catching yet relatable, dramatic but demure is exactly why Gabriel & Co. created its thriving Fine Jewelry Everyday Collection. “Mark and James’s work recalls the Golden Age of Hollywood when every woman looked her best and every man wanted to sweep them off their feet. The fact that our jewelry works as perfectly with a red carpet-worthy gown as it does with the turtleneck and jeans the model wore to our shoot, makes this Badgley Mischka DESIGNER FLASH a Christmas present to ourselves.”
To bridge the gap between runway fashion and fine jewelry, the Designer Flash series provides vital information to showcase the idea that fine jewelry can also be everyday jewelry. The sweeping designs of Badgley Mischka mixed with Gabriel & Co.’s expansive range of jewelry creates a look sure to stop anyone in their tracks. Stack layering rings and necklaces to create a standout look or pair simple studs and bangles for a sophisticated amalgamation that can be worn for years to come.
The complete Designer Flash Series collection brings designers from all walks of life and style together to showcase Gabriel & Co.’s wide range of offerings. Each designer-dedicated web page features four parts: a written interview; the designer’s selection of five new jewels from Gabriel & Co., along with a statement on each piece; the podcast, which can be viewed and downloaded; and a #GabrielNY section, which highlights each piece that the designers used to style the model in the on-page photos. Past installments have highlighted legendary brands such as Maxa Mara, Nicole Miller, Norma Kamali and Tommy Hilfiger. Look for next month when we FLASH on another red carpet favorite, perfect for award season, Zuhair Murad.
