Hello Beauties!
Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend a private launch party for Athra Luxe Designs, "a design house of artists, jewelers and crafters with extensive backgrounds who create collectable pieces inspired by their travels around the world." As well as Joey J, a line "with a unique and edgy twist on detailed motifs...with a mixture of blackened metals combined with gold over silver, cubic zirconia and labradorite", which provide a modern edge to the appearance of classic and timeless pieces, and NINOS DECHAMMO. This sterling silver line encompasses inspiration from various classes of art and culture; "inspired by the natural beauty and history of the world."

What I appreciate about each of these brands is that they provide a wide range of price points, while maintaing a luxe aesthetic. Often times when a brand features a broad price range, the most affordable pieces can appear a bit rickety, not the case with these brands and collections.
I photographed some of my most favorite pieces from each brand and line to share with all of you, including direct links to each for you to check out.
ATHRA LUXE "Essence of Luxury"
The Black Crystal Collection (my favs)
The line is inspired by the "enchanting sights of Italy." With 14k gold over sterling silver with black diamond crystals, "reminiscent of a Tuscan night sky."
JOEY J. "To Be Charmed and Chained"
Out of each of the 3 labels, I connected most with Joey J. I feel that it encompasses my personal style the most and I was able to visualize myself wearing each and every piece from the collection.

My favs:
NINOS DECHAMMO "Artistry of Design"
Designer, Ninos Chammo, is an architect and overall artist. His passion for architecture, design, and culture are depicted in each of his sterling silver pieces, telling a unique story through symbolisms of love, romance, and various heritages around the world.
My favs:
I highly suggest you visit the websites for each of these brands; click on the titles of each section within this post to take you over to their individual websites to learn and see more from the brands and collections. I hope you enjoyed the post and my top pics featured. A huge thank you to the Athra staff for the warm and hospitable welcome and service!
