Dreamy Hollywood Glam

The last Monday in August, my friend Mondo, who is an amazing make-up artist, and his friend Irving (who does hair) wanted to put together a photo shoot using some of my jewelry and vintage clothing. It was about 95 degrees that day, and we were all out in the park, dressed for fall weather, futilely trying to stay cool. Despite the weather, I must say the shots came out pretty great!

The first shot we did used a random collection of pieces from my line, all piled on top of each other, for an over-the-top shot. Most people aren’t going to wear it this way, but it’s a really impactful image to see so many detailed pieces right next to each other. The model is wearing the Paris Cuff in silver, Windsor Cuff, Rouen Cuff, Constantinople Cuff, Barcelona Cuff, Paris Necklace in copper, and Copenhagen Triple Drop Earrings in champagne.

Then they made up one of the models to be a 1930’s/1940’s vamp. She is wearing the Copenhagen Petal Drop Earrings.

The next shot has a 1920’s look and features the Copenhagen Triple Drop Earrings in champagne, and the Copenhagen Necklace.

The last shot conjures up a feeling of Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. In some of the shots, the model also resembles Joan Crawford. I think these are my favorite. She’s wearing the Windsor Drop Earrings, Windsor Cuff, and Constantinople Cuff.

We had so much fun dressing them up, and I can’t wait to do it again!
