Introduction
The great Tiffany designer Paloma Picasso, renowned for color-saturated jewels of great scale, sizes up the trend for graphic,<a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/product-8.html">xmas necklaces</a><a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/Tiffany-Sale-276.html"></a><a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/Tiffany-Sale-139.html"></a> aggressively chic jewelry and creates a dynamic new collection ���C Zellige ���C inspired by the centuries-old mosaics that surround the fountain at her home in Morocco.
A designer with many influences culled from her travels and the exotic places she has called home, Paloma Picasso became fascinated with the vibrant patterns of Zellige, an art form that combines colorful enameled tiles in beautiful geometric motifs. In classic fashion, she transforms the motifs������ elegant geometry into a mesmerizing jewelry design that celebrates the craft of Zellige, but with a striking newness.
Zellige features a pattern of open squares, angles and circles,<a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/Tiffany-Sale-29.html">Elsa Peretti Almond cuff links</a><a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/"></a> symmetrical and almost ������puzzle-like.������ Stylized in 18K yellow or white gold, the array of jewelry captures all the glamour of Paloma Picasso������s famously bold and original designs.
Rings, a Picasso specialty, are outlined in sparkling diamonds and domed to accommodate lustrous gemstones such as carnelian and black onyx, igniting Zellige with spirit and energy. Other designs include medallion pendants in precious metals, dimensional and at ease with dressing day or night; and elongated sterling silver necklaces in an artful deconstruction of the Zellige pattern, accented with black and white enamel.
Designed with the utmost quality, the Zellige collection fulfills fashion������s desire for the dramatically different and highlights the legacy of a world-premier designer.
The collections are available in the <a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/Tiffany-Sale-28.html">Atlas cuff links</a><a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/product-9.html"></a><a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/Tiffany-Sale-274.html"></a><a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/Tiffany-Sale-141.html"></a><a href="http://www.sterlingtiffany.com/"></a>.
