I just recently returned from a business trip to London and attended a Bridal Show while I was there. The show was exactly what I feared it would be: a lot of gorgeous and expensive dresses and inexpensive, fake jewelry. I have experienced the same situation here in the States. Whereas the show in London was a bit more conservative, displaying mostly invitations and dresses, the shows here have more of a production in their efforts (balloons, cakes, chocolates, samples, photography...) yet one things still remains the same; it's always cheap, fake bridal jewelry. So much effort is placed in every other detail of the wedding, that I can't possibly begin to understand why bridal jewelry is overlooked.
The tassel collection that I created a week before I left, was very well received. I sold out of the few pieces I had time to create and had orders for more. The collection will comprise of what I call sophisticated tassels, made of precious stones, gold, diamonds and enamel decorated cups. The tassels will be longer, bigger and jucier! I am planning to bring more colors into my collection (I was inspired by the colorful window displays in the London stores).
