Vitrine and the Primetime Emmys

 

Carnelian Gemstone Earrings by Vitrine for Primetime Emmys GBK Gifting

 

 

Way back in May 2013, I knew I was going to be gifting the celebrities attending GBK's Luxury invite-only Gift Lounge to honor the nominees and actors/actresses at the Primetime Emmys held in September 2013.

 

I had to come up with ideas of what to gift. Would I gift a ring, necklace, bracelet or earrings? What gemstone would I use? What colors??? After spending days, I found myself being drawn to carnelians. I didn't know why this stone stuck in my head over everything else. So I did some research, and found out that it boosts confidence and creativity, and it was called "The Actor's Stone", used for people specifically in performing arts/drama. Would you believe that?!! So it was settled. I decided to pair up the stones with either turquoise, lapis lazuli or coral rondelles for added color interest.

This is what 100 pairs look like all set out on my worktop!



I ordered some beautiful cards with gold designs, that included a handwritten note from me to each recipient explaining why I chose this stone especially for them, and packaged each one into my signature fuchsia bag. ONE HUNDRED of them made their way to Hollywood, L.A. for this event.

On September 20-21 many celebrities were gifted my jewelry in the swag bags of The Artisan Group. Some of the recipients were Matt Leblanc (from Friends), Matt Letscher (Scandal), Chris Noth (Sex and the City), Penny Marshall, RJ Mitte (Breaking Bad), Neil Patrick Harris and so many more (complete list to follow soon!)

New York Fashion Week 2013

I am so excited that New York Fashion Week is almost here! My Gemstone Cocktail Rings will be included in all of the Swag Bags gifted to the celebrities attending GBK Luxury Gift Lounge at New York Fashion Week (Sept 6-7, 2013) as part of The Artisan Group.

 

For this event, I wanted to create something that was bold and unusual. I mean, that's what New York and NYFW is all about! So I set each Jasper Gemstone nugget in a gold setting. These gemstones range from vibrant fuchsia, violet and hot pinks to more muted taupe and royal purple tones. They are visually stunning!

Just some of the Gemstone Cocktail rings being gifted!

 

I love creating a gifting 'experience' for anyone that received my handmade jewelry. So I completely personalized it with a handwritten note, tied to each ring and completed the box with ribbon, my business card and included it in my signature color gift bag!

 

 



Each ring had a handwritten note tied with ribbon and included in its box with my card.

 

 

If you'd like to have your own cocktail ring by Vitrine, you can purchase it here!

Vitrine's jewelry will be included with other talented artisans from The Artisan Group.

 

Each celebrity will receive all these gifts in their Swag Bag. Mine's the pink!

You can see them all in this digital version of the booklet that will be in each Swag Bag too!

 

Stephanie Drapeau Tweets!

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I gifted a pair of my Smoky Quartz Vermeil Gold earrings to Hollywood Actress Stephanie Drapeau. A few days ago she received my earrings, along with a whole bunch of goodies from The Artisan Group. Because there must have been atleast 50 items in the bag, she had quite a number to go through before she got to mine.

Stephanie tweeted each giftee a personal thank you message along with a picture. And my heart literally skipped a beat when I saw she tweeted me!

I'm feeling a little star-struck! I do hope that she wears these on the red carpet sometime soon :)

Meanwhile YOU can own a pair of these gorgeous earrings too.
