Little Miss Engaged: Repossi Bridal

Little Miss Engaged: Repossi Bridal

Repossi‘s latest collection is for THE WIFE™ To Be who loves the modern appeal of the Parisian Jewelry House. The Antifer Bridal Collection is defined by the simple lines drawn to form a strong peak at the edge of the ring. Ideal for the avant-garde and stylish woman (Perhaps it’s time to start dropping hints to your boyfriend of 3 years?).

The collection was given its name “Antifer” by Designer Gaia Repossi, for the inspiration she received from the Antifer cliffs in Normandy. The peaks are assembled in asymmetrical rhythm to suggest a cliff or a complex pattern. The more complex variations come in full diamond pavé versions, covering the entire surface of the rings and peaks – creating a technical achievement with a new, strong graphic result. All styles are available in plain gold, full diamond pavé and semi pavé. -THE WIFE™

THE WIFE To Be: Chanel Bridal

Chanel Bridal Collection

Eternal and unchanging, the diamond was Mademoiselle Chanel’s favorite stone.  In 1932, it was to diamonds that she dedicated her first collection of Fine Jewelry, “Bijoux de Diamants.” “If I have chosen diamonds, it is because they represent the highest value in the smallest volume,”  Gabrielle Chanel. So it makes sense that Chanel would conceive of a fine jewelry line for THE WIFE™ to be.

Whether you’re in search for an extraordinary engagement ring or unique wedding bands for your upcoming ceremony, their bridal collection has been created with 18k gold in Chanel’s signature chic style.
