In her Breathtaking beauty of gems column, Eva
Kountouraki talks about a gemstone that was given
the nickname “the great impostor”. It has been sold,
bought, stolen, inherited, and thought of as another
gem for many many years. However it survived and
rose to the heart of the people as an important
gemstone of its own; and it deserves to be named
by its own name and praised for its unique
qualities; it’s the beautiful spinel.

Founder & Editor-in-Chief
The New Year, for many, marks a new beginning. It is a time of renewal. A time to make
right all that we did wrong last year. It is a time of new hope.
The same applies also to the Jewellery Historian. When I decided to create this magazine,
I did it with a passion for knowledge and critical inquiry, while searching new and innova-
tive ways of delivering information that can resonate long after publication, combined to a
uniquely powerful visual and textual storytelling.
2016, marks new and important changes in our magazine. First of all, because we decided
that our magazine will be bimonthly. This was made to offer to our readers the best possi-
ble reading experience and to our business partners the best possible exposure.
The second reason, is because the jewellery designers, brands and artists we choose to
showcase in every issue, whose work is exceptional and of the highest quality, need an
exceptional and minimal way to reach their audience. This is why at the Jewellery Historian
we focus on aesthetics and to the creativity of the designers, by letting their creations to
speak for themselves, rather that surrounding them with distractions and other imagery.
To reach our international audience, a connected community of decision makers, connois-
seurs with enhanced refinement, we decided to redesign both our magazine and website.
Our readership, has until now been accumulated only by word-of-mouth and in short time
reached an international audience due to the professional knowledge, the high quality con-
tent and exceptional aesthetics of our team. We are honored of your support and we know
that without your support this magazine who promotes, inspires and educates would not
exist without your precious support.
You will immediately notice the dynamism and beauty of this new layout. The “navigation”
has been completely revamped and simplified to promote a more modern and more
friendly approach, both in our magazine and website.
We have chosen to focus to creativity. With a minimal design, that offers to the reader a
unique reading experience, the Jewellery Historian aims to be a powerful way to introduce
the unique universe of jewellery & timepieces to the new digital generation and to be a ref-
erence for the jewellery & timepieces lovers, while contributing in strengthening social capi-
tal by improving the knowledge, skills, confidence, motivation, networks and resources.
My best wishes to you all for this new year, for a year full of love, joy and prosperity.

As long as he could remember, Olivier Du-
pon has always been passionate about
how ideas can translate into designs, and
as a result, he is fascinated by the umpteen
creative approaches taken by many inde-
pendent practitioners. He is now an expert
in the fields of lifestyle and fashion, reveling
in exposing these talents to a wider audi-
ence. While he began his career at Chris-
tian Dior, and then worked as a buyer and
project manager for several large retail
companies before running his own lifestyle
boutique for several years, now based in
London, he scouts international markets in
search of exciting names in Art & Craft,
with a focus on jewellery makers and splen-
did precious designs.
His previous books include The New Arti-
sans (2011), The New Jewelers (2012), The
New Pâtissiers (2013), Floral Contemporary
(2014), Encore! The New Artisans (2015),
and Shoe: Contemporary Footwear by In-
spiring Designers (2015) all published by
Thames & Hudson. His new book on luxury
jewellery will be published in Autumn 2016.
For the Jewellery Historian, in his The Art of
Creativity column, Olivier Dupon exposes
inspiring, intriguing at time, and captivating
stories through the presentation of talents
or the exposé of current topics, all centered
around creativity in today’s high-end fine
jewelry.
Eva Kountouraki was born and raised in a family of goldsmiths and jewelers. From a very
young age she expressed her keen interest in gems, jewelry and design, a passion that led
her to devote her studies and her career in this field. She started her first collection of pol-
ished and rough gemstones at a very early age and realized that this would be her profession
in the future.
After studying gemology books in various languages, she attended gemological seminars in
Greece and Europe and developed practical skills to analyze gems, Eva decided to accredit
those skills choosing the best gemological institute in the world, GIA (Gemological Institute of
America), for her studies.
Succeeding unprecedented results in the practice and theory of gemology, analyzing and
identifying thousands of gemstones and diamonds, she graduated and acquired the prestig-
ious certificate GIA Graduate Gemologist Diploma, which includes specific studies in dia-
mond grading (GIA Graduate Diamonds Diploma) and colored gemstones (GIA Graduate
Colored Stones Diploma). Her studies in the jewelry field continued and Eva got her Jewelry
Business Management Diploma, gaining specialized knowledge about all the aspects of the
jewelry industry. Her training continued with jewelry design and computer aided design.
Eva’s brilliant path in the field of gemology was crowned by her collaboration with the Italian
branch of GIA. Eva received special training from professional and experienced gemologists
of GIA Italy, New York and California, US, and for more than a decade she teaches gemology
and jewelry design in GIA, transferring her experience, knowledge and passion for diamonds,
gems and jewelry to her students-famous professionals from around world.
Eve is proud to be the only Greek woman who has ever accomplished such a distinction in
the field of diamonds and precious stones. Alongside her work as a gemology instructor, Eva
is a jewelry and gemstone buyer and consultant for privates and companies, advising and
helping her clients to make successful buys and investments in gemstones. She also organ-
izes and teaches seminars for the training of gemstone and jewelry merchants, salespeople
and gem-passionates. For the Jewellery Historian, in her The breathtaking beauty of gems
column, she introduces you to a breathtaking gemstone in every issue.

Ulysse Nardin Introduces the Cheerful
“Year of the Monkey” Timepiece
Playful and happy, the monkey’s spirit overflows with
personality. Always curious, notoriously mischievous and
especially clever, the monkey is the ninth animal in the
Chinese Zodiac. Ulysse Nardin honors its exuberant
essence with the “Year of the Monkey” timepiece, the
latest addition to its Classico Collection.
Designed in a comic strip-like style to best capture the
lively creature’s character, the dial is the center of
attention as the monkey appears to leap through a brush
of palm fronds. Its expression is alert, its body is lithe,
and the early workings of an impish grin begin to
emerge. It is the champlevé method of enameling that
brings the artist’s sketch to life.
A rare art form and one mastered by very few, the
champlevé technique consists of cells being carved with
a chisel directly on the dial and filled with enamel. Its
colors are generated from different metallic oxides, and
for this piece, a neutral palette has been selected. The
piece is then fired until the enamel melts.
Ulysse Nardin has been bringing this realism to its dials
for more than 25 years and is one of the only
watchmakers devoted to the centuries-old craft. It is
mastered in-house at Donzé Cadrans, a member of the
Ulysse Nardin group of companies.
The Classico Collection hosts a suite of original
enameled pieces revered and collected by many. For
2016, Ulysse Nardin is pleased to introduce the “Year of
the Monkey”, a limited edition of 88 pieces in 18-karat
rose gold. Features include the self-winding UN-815
movement and COSC-certified chronometer.
A joyful timepiece, one cannot help but smile when
checking the time.

Fashionable and Urban :
GUCCI Timepieces releases suite of G-Frame variants
Echoing the playful yet polished mood depicted in
Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2016 runway collections, Gucci
Timepieces & Jewelry is pleased to release stylish new
variants of the feminine G-Frame timepiece. These new
watches are ﬁtted with a double-loop strap, and come in
a variety of designs, from sporty, to classic to urban.
Recognizable by its neat beveled square case and
minimalist dial, the suite of new G-Frame variants shows
how by simply switching materials, the mood of the
watch can change.
Inspired by the Gucci green-red-green web stripe, the
sportiest model displays the two-tone canvas on the
wraparound strap and matching dial, set within a yellow
gold PVD case. The brightly colored racing stripe is
perfect for the clean, lean G-Frame design, and the
result is dynamic and streamlined.
 
The new G-Frame with a brown calfskin looped strap,
polished gold PVD case and mother of pearl dial creates
a classic look with a chic and feminine appeal. As a
contrast, the black variant offers a more urban aesthetic,
seen in the black dial and black leather wraparound strap
embellished with metal studs. On these two leather
versions, Gucci’s new motif, the honeybee, is present
next to the clasp, in matching yellow or stainless steel.
Each timepiece shows the Gucci logo at 12 o’clock, the
“Swiss Made” stamp at 6 o’clock and “G” insignia on the
crown, and Gucci’s new honeybee symbol engraved on
the case back.

Ulysse Nardin opens a flagship Boutique
in Abuja, Nigeria
Luxury Swiss watch manufacturer Ulysse Nardin, the leader in timepiece
invention and innovation, announced the opening of a mono-brand
Boutique in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
The official opening took place on December 10th attended by 300 guests
including Dr. Daniel Cavegn, Deputy Head of Mission accompanied by
several members of the Nigerian government. Mr. Patrik Hoffmann, CEO of
Ulysse Nardin and Mr. Deremi Ajidahun, local partner of the brand, were
very enthusiastic.
It is with great honor that Ulysse Nardin opens its first mono-brand boutique
in Africa, namely in Nigeria, Abuja. Having a great following and many
Ulysse Nardin enthusiasts in Nigeria, we decided to bring the Ulysse
Nardin experience close to the watch connoisseurs in Abuja. In this new
boutique, some of the most unique and exclusive timepieces will be on
display, specified Patrik Hoffmann.
Located on Gana street, the most attractive place with luxury stores and
hotels, the 50 square meters Boutique is designed as homage to the
company’s nautical heritage. Decorated with wood furniture, timepieces are
displayed in portholes.
The boutique features iconic timepieces like Perpetual Calendar, where the
calendar can be set forward and backward with ease, the Freak, which tells
time by its movement, not by its hands and the astronomical wristwatch
Moonstruck. Watch aficionados can also find the innovative Ulysse Anchor
Tourbillon recently crowned with Tourbillon Prize by the Grand Prix
d’Horlogerie de Genève and the brand’s finest timepieces including
Stranger, Sonata, Classico, Dual Time Manufacture and Jade for ladies.
And, the Marine collection that anchors Ulysse Nardin’s past to the ocean
with today’s exemplary Marine Chronometer Manufacture.
This boutique unveiling in Nigeria is the third this year for Ulysse Nardin
with the new boutique in Miami Design District and the one in Dubai. The
beholder of six exquisite families of watches, Ulysse Nardin will flow
forward, stretching the limits of design, engineering and technology, and, of
course, surprising watch fans around the globe.

THE ART OF CREATIVIT Y
Carnet by Michelle Ong
by Olivier Dupon
Michelle Ong has been creating beautiful and collectable
jewellery for Carnet over the last two decades. As a designer of
high jewellery, Michelle Ong focuses on the perfect combination
of precious stones, remarkable craftsmanship and memorable
designs.
Jewellery Historian | THE ART OF CREATIVITY

22

She is one who delights in beauty so much that she had to create some, a contribution
to all things beautiful in the form of hyper feminine haute joaillerie. It is Carnet by Mi-
chelle Ong, an enchanting treasure trove of exquisite jewels, part delicate constructions
with a lace, gossamer-thin quality to them, part bold concertos of scintillating gem-
stones. A dual aspect that heralds a measured flamboyance, jewellery that one wants
to wear as well as collect, jewellery that empowers rather than overpowers.
‘Jewellery designing is what I am meant to do; in some ways it is like being an
alchemist. I am passionate about combining beautiful elements together to create a
new fabulous jewel. It's magical. It was certainly a revelation,’ she says, ‘but not a sud-
den one. I always loved jewellery. When I returned to Hong Kong after university, I de-
cided to work with gemstones. Their beauty and special qualities inspired me to design;
first for myself, later for friends, who asked me to create pieces for them. Then I knew it
was something I simply had to do.’
Carnet was founded in 1998 when Michelle partnered with Avi Nagar. To this
day, the collaboration has been a match made in heaven, with Michelle being able to
focus on the creative side of the business, which she does by writing the storied
House’s DNA a piece at a time. ‘I really only work to my own high standards and strive
to stay true to my creative vision’, she shares. ‘To me jewellery should be sumptuous,
alluring and remarkable, whether the design is more architectural or very romantic.
That is why I make sure that the essence of Carnet is incorporated into each piece I
design.’
This essence has a slight old-world refinement, think La Belle Époque as hinted
in the luminescent ‘Floating Diamonds’ necklace that is a feat of craftsmanship. It show-
cases matching rose-cut diamonds that look as if they are afloat on the neckline. It is
such a complex project that it literally took years to achieve the setting, but Michelle, in
always putting her concepts before feasibility considerations, was finally able to do it. It
takes faith in the power of imagination - the notion that ideas are designs in waiting. ‘I
am very free in my designs. If I have an idea, I am determined to find a way to make
the piece’, she adds.
Sometimes Michelle is inspired by a special gemstone, a flower, a beautiful line
or just her vivid daydreams, but whatever the thought, she keeps a notebook with her
all the time so she can record it all. And when it is time to materialize the piece, she
says she starts to play with the different elements such as ‘the design, how it sits, the
intensity and feeling. When I am satisfied, we make the piece in our own workshop.
The finished piece has to be perfect. I will break it apart and begin again if I don't think
it's truly Carnet’, she notes.
Even though Carnet by Michelle Ong is universal in spirit, one can notice the
Chinese and Asian influences that routinely surround Michelle: flowers, Chinese lattice
motifs, or a beautiful blue and white screen, as depicted in the intricate ‘Azure Lattice’
bracelet. ‘I love to create bejewelled "gardens" by combining fantasy flowers as in my
‘Wild Meadow Flower’ brooch. It is feminine yet bold, a reference to nature's beauty,
but with a Carnet twist.
Varied precious stones intensify the lush colours of the petals and leaves’, she
describes, ‘and it represents the sparkle you see in the garden at first light when the
dew is still apparent.’ However whatever source of inspiration, it is always a subtle trib-
“Jewellery designing
is what I am meant
to do; in some ways
it is like being an
alchemist. I am pas-
sionate about com-
bining beautiful ele-
ments together to cre-
ate a new fabulous
jewel. It's magical. It
was certainly a reve-
lation”.

ute to her heritage, not a literal one, as she is able to emancipate cultural symbols and
propel them into a contemporary dimension.
Besides Carnet was the first jeweller to use titanium in their designs, recognis-
ing the material’s strength and lightness, a revolutionary move at the time. Soldering
machines weren’t available when they first began to work with titanium over twenty
years ago, and they have adhered to their traditional methods to this day. Meticulous
handwork, using screws to hold components in place, is a formula that in itself adds
beauty to the piece. ‘High Jewellery must be beautiful in form, function, storytelling,
craftsmanship and presentation,’ she ponders, ‘it should be part of its moment in time
yet timeless. My aim is, and has always been, to show the jewel as a true art form.
And perhaps, most of all Jewellery should connect with the viewer or wearer, both visu-
ally and emotionally.’
Naturally Michelle tends not to follow trends – either design or market ones -
since she has always created the jewellery that she would personally wear, and this
has been an unwavering guiding principle to this day. Furthermore she squarely consid-
ers jewellery as an art form, and as such her renditions cannot be catalogued or timed.
This may be the reason why she was asked to create the iconic jewellery for "The Da
Vinci Code" movie and why her work has been shown in retrospective exhibitions at
Asia House, the Natural History Museum in London and at the Burrell Collection in
Glasgow. ‘Jewellery design, like art, is an expression of personal aesthetic, a view of
the world. I want all my designs to stand as individual pieces of collectible art. Yet
there is something intensely personal about buying a jewel; while the emotional connec-
tion to a jewel may be similar to the connection to an artwork, there is more physicality
involved in jewellery. It has to be beautiful yet wearable and has to feel comfortable to
move with the body to fit with the client’s lifestyle, their personal style and wardrobe, so
this brings other considerations to the purchase. Then, there’s the age-old talismanic
association of the jewel, which adds an extra dimension. I like to think my signature aes-
thetic creates a tangible artful fantasy.’
It appears that the women, who wear Carnet, connect with the quality, feminin-
ity, the unique character and artistic integrity of Michelle’s creations, and evidently noth-
ing makes her happier than seeing her designs worn by those who have an apprecia-
tion for creativity, design and craftsmanship. So when JAR in person, - the elusive, cult-
status jeweller for the aesthete elite of this world - writes: ‘Madame Ong's jewels are
mouth-watering. There are Chinese clouds utterly different from ours, in scrolls of dia-
monds; unexpected blackness with reds and greens making ferocious, billowing drag-
ons we will remember; diamonds again trickling about a neck and slipping down wrists;
geometry, monsters, flora, colour, a free hand making things we have never seen and
will keep forever’, it becomes the ultimate seal of approval.
As a matter of fact, Carnet by Michelle Ong may be one of those rare enter-
prises that appeals to the spirit through the eyes.

Naturally Michelle
tends not to follow
trends – either de-
sign or market ones -
since she has always
created the jewellery
that she would per-
sonally wear, and
this has been an un-
wavering guiding
principle to this day.

SPINEL
BREATHTAKING BEAUT Y OF GEMS

It was given the nickname “the great impostor”. It

Jewellery Historian | BREATHTAKING BEAUTY OF GEMS

It was given the nickname “the great impostor”. It has been sold,
bought, stolen, inherited, and thought of as another gem for many
many years. However it survived and rose to the heart of the peo-
ple as an important gemstone of its own; and it deserves to be
named by its own name and praised for its unique qualities; it’s the
beautiful spinel.
For centuries, people were mining ruby and spinel crystals
in the same sources and considered the whole production to be
ruby. In fact, before modern gemology was developed, people
used only the colour of the gems to categorize and identify them.
As a result, every red gem was called ruby, every blue gem was
considered to be sapphire, all yellows were topaz, and so on.
Some of these gems of “mysterious” personality adorn historically
important jewelry pieces. One such gem is the “Black Prince’s
Ruby” named after Edward, Prince of Wales - the “Black Prince”-
who received the stone in 1367 as payment for a battle victory.
Many years later, this exceptional gem was identified as spinel,
and a quite large one, with the size of an egg. This gem is now set
on the front of Britain's Imperial State Crown, right above the mag-
nificent Cullinan II diamond, and below the beautiful St. Edward's
Sapphire.
Another historically significant gem that was thought to be
a ruby but eventually turned out to be spinel is the so-called
“Timur Ruby” also referred to with the powerful name “Khiraj-
i-alam” meaning “tribute to the world”. This is an important
spinel with an impressive weight of over 360cts, that
until 1851 was erroneously considered to be the
world’s largest ruby.. It is set as a centerpiece in a
necklace that is part of the British Crown jewels.
This gem’s large surface allowed enough space
for the inscription of the names and dates of 6
of its previous owners.
Traditional sources of spinel include central
and Southeast Asia, like Tajikistan –home of
the above mentioned gems- Afghanistan, My-
anmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand. East Africa
has risen to become a very important pro-
ducer of spinel, with Tanzania, among oth-
ers, having produced – and still producing,
some of the world’s highest quality spinels of
breathtaking beauty.
Many spinel crystals are so perfect in their
rough form that in Burma they are said to be
“nat thwe” or “polished by the spirits”. Their crys-
tal habit is a beautiful octahedron often with sharp
and well-shaped edges that have given it its name.
In fact, “spinel” most probably derives from the Latin
word “spina” which means thorn, as a reference to the
Some of these gems
of “mysterious” per-
sonality adorn his-
torically important
jewelry pieces. One
such gem is the
“ B l a c k P r i n c e ’ s
Ruby” named after
Edward, Prince of
Wales - the “Black
Prince”- who re-
ceived the stone in
1367 as payment for

points of the rough. Other etymological analyses of this name say
that it may have derived from the Greek word for sparkle, referring
to red spinel’s intense coloration.
Spinel comes in various colours, ranging from light pink to
purple, down to blue and even black, with the strong red hue being
the most desired and valued one. It is an important gemstone with
a very interesting and often bloody history. A durable gem that
takes a high luster and withstands everyday use, and a beauty that
can be both steely and fiery. A spinel was chosen to head the Rus-
sian Great Imperial crown; one large and rare spinel of over
398cts, that majestically sits on top of approximately 5000 polished
diamonds, a double row of fine pearls and seven of the most his-
toric stones of Russia’s diamond collection.
Since 1783 when mineralogist Jean Baptiste Louis Rome
de Lisle identified spinel as a different mineral than ruby, this spe-
cial gem has slowly climbed its way to the place it merits in the de-
signs of gem cutters and high-end jewelry makers. After all these
years of turbulent history, tales and lore, it is about time to give spi-
nel its righteous place among the important gems in our markets.
And this doesn’t take much, just one look at the fiery East African
reds and pinks will gain spinel a central position to every gem
lover’s heart... And we will continue being awestruck and surprised
with the heartwarming emotions that nature offers so generously.

BVLGARI LVCEA
EXCEPTIONAL TIMEPIECES

The glowing LVCEA collection expresses the inseparable
ties between light and time. It radiantly embodies the per-
fect balance between simplicity and sophistication, and 
conveys all the key characteristics of the Maison. In trib-
ute to the 2,700-year history of Rome in which Bulgari is
firmly rooted, the architecture and the proportions of
LVCEA evoke a tribute to luminous brightness, through
an aesthetic that harnesses the power of light, or luce in
Italian.

conveys all the key characteristics of the Maison. Following on
from a broad array of new models presented at the start of the
year, the appeal of the collection is further heightened by two new
references combining 18K pink gold, steel and diamonds.
The LVCEA watch is as gentle and graceful as it is powerful
and sophisticated. In tribute to the 2,700-year history of Rome in
which Bulgari is ﬁrmly rooted, the architecture and the proportions
of LVCEA evoke a tribute to luminous brightness, through an aes-
thetic that harnesses the power of light, or luce in Italian.
The sensual lines of LVCEA reﬂect perfectly mastered ex-
pertise testifying to the famous Italian jeweller’s ability to craft pre-
cious metals. The distinctive V of the name and the LVCEA brace-
let links is subtly reminiscent of the iconic Serpenti collection and
its undulating models that have become signature symbols of the
Bulgari style. The sleek rings of the bracelet are counter-balanced
by the splendidly luminous round case. And to highlight the colour-
ful jewellery virtuosity cultivated by the Maison, Bulgari adorns the
crown of all LVCEA watches with a glowing crown. This cabochon-
cut pink rubellite on the winding-crown lends the inimitably daring
touch one has come to expect from the brand. The crown is also
enhanced by a diamond that accentuates the intensely feminine
nature of the model.
2015 is a particularly lavish year for the constantly growing
collection. Baselworld marked the unveiling of an array of new at-
tributes and new sizes for LVCEA, notably featuring straps in sap-
phire blue, burgundy pink or powder pink alligator leather, as well
as precious diamond-set bezels and gold links.
The ever more popular collection is also extending the
scope of its seductive power. Its intense creativity is further en-
riched in the autumn of 2015 by two new 18K pink gold and steel
creations adorned with diamonds framing the bezel and also set
on the hour-markers punctuating the mother-of-pearl dial. These
two creations, appearing in 28 mm and 33 mm diameters, further
complement the already impressive abundance of a collection
whose radiant wealth is entirely on a par with the force of the life-
giving light it embodies. >

BVLGARI clothes its LVCEA collection in brilliant and glamorous
High Jewellery attire.
 
This highly exclusive collection sets a perfect stage for the jeweller’s expertise in three
precious watches adorned with diamonds, rubies and emeralds. They shine a precious
light on time and endow the LVCEA collection with an even more distinctive radiance.
Right from the time of its launch in 2014, LVCEA asserted itself as the new muse
among BVLGARI ladies’ watches. Everything about its appearance evokes the style
signatures of the Rome-based jeweller. It embodies the perfect alchemist’s blend of op-
posites: roundness and linearity; light and shade; grace and sophistication. These con-
trasting qualities reveal it, endow it with distinction and characterise its versatility, while
contouring its material, shapes and personality. From dawn to dusk, it suffuses
women’s time with the glow of its multiple incarnations: 28 mm, 33 mm and 36 mm
cases, mother-of-pearl shades or guilloché effects, the sparkle of diamonds.
LVCEA is born of light. The whole nature of its emblematic design enshrines the es-
sence of BVLGARI. Three new interpretations draw all eyes, elegantly and intensely
reﬂecting the purity of light. In its new 23 mm-diameter size, this dainty jewellery watch
reveals its full splendour. BVLGARI has chosen to adorn white gold with the four gems
traditionally considered the most precious: diamonds, the royal stone; emeralds, the
most sought-after form of beryl; as well as the two most prestigious corundum, sap-
phire and ruby. In its all-diamond version issued in a ﬁve-piece limited edition, LVCEA is
swept over blued hands and its crown features a sapphire cabochon set with a brilliant-
cut diamond. In the interpretation adorned with rubies or emeralds, each in a three-
piece edition, the bezel and bracelet are enhanced with coloured gems. Set with more
than 14 carats of precious stones, the bracelet is indeed a piece of jewellery in its own
right. The motif formed by the 84 baguette-cut diamonds imparts a distinctive cadence
to the dial that marks of time as a reminder of the sundials that inspired it.
Combining the magnetic draw of its inimitably BVLGARI style with the sparkling radi-
ance of close- set and invisible-set baguette-cut gems, the LVCEA collection literally
wraps women in light.

Celebrity favorites, Maria Lucia Hohan’s dresses are spotted on the red carpet at almost all Hollywood events
that make headlines.

Upon preparing to become an interior designer, Maria found herself to be more attracted to fashion design
and in the end she graduated a top school in Paris, with a master in textile design. Her amazing sense of fabrics went
from passion to business only to become later on, a signature: an amazing color palette declined on silk fabrics care-
fully selected and custom dyed for each season.

She ended up creating a new category of evening gowns, fresh, young, simple and sophisticated. “I couldn’t
find a gown that suited my age and style. I never liked the classic prom dresses, nor the bridal guest type. I felt the
need to create a new kind of silhouette and texture” she explains.

Her vision is highly appreciated by A list stars stepping on the red carpet. From Jennifer Lopez wearing MLH
in the video productions of her latest tour and on the red carpet, to Dita von Teese, Catherine Zeta Jones, Sophia Ver-
gara, Eva Longoria, Taylor Swift, Vanessa Hudgens, Kim Kardashian, Nicole Scherzinger, Giuliana Rancic or Jennifer
Hudson, they all got great reviews from fashion critics and the public. Editorials, magazine covers, red carpet events
or even advertising campaigns for celebrity owned brands are now featuring MLH creations, establishing Maria Lucia
Hohan as an important name among the new wave of fashion designers.
