Jennifer Shanker never misses a beat, and when she chooses two icons of Italian jewelry style like Anna Maccieri Rossi and Bea Bongiasca for her team of independent designers, it's easy to see how Italian excellence always hits the mark. «It is practically impossible to pinpoint the exact “X factor” that makes Italian jewelry so special. Anna and Bea are proof of how much value there is in their designs, so full of care and creativity. True to their Italian roots, they both have an incredibly distinctive DNA that allows them to experiment with alternative materials while still maintaining their own unique styles. That's one of the big reasons why we were immediately attracted to them,» explains founder, Jennifer Shanker.
