New York, United States
Hearts On Fire, creator of The World's Most Perfectly Cut Diamond(R), brings an international flavor to its new, limited edition fall line called the Architectural Collection, a selection of 17 different designs inspired by eight famous structures. Breathtaking and intricate diamond jewelry designs emerged from an appreciation for structure as it relates to art.
Hearts On Fire's Jewelry Designer, Katherine Rosenberg-Pineau, selected some of the world's most iconic architecture as her design inspiration for this collection: the Chrysler Building in New York; the Sydney Opera House; the Beijing Olympic Stadium; the Leonard P. Zakim Bridge in Boston; the Tokyo National Gymnasium; the Chicago Spire; the Montreal Olympic Stadium; and the Great Court at the British Museum in London.
"When I think of the timeless beauty of a Hearts On Fire diamond and our diamond jewelry designs, I relate them to striking architecture. Much like our pieces, these fascinating buildings are engineered to create intense beauty out of raw materials. Regardless of personal style or taste, both end results embody perfection and unforgettable beauty," said Katherine.
This exclusive collection will be debuted in New York during fashion week and at the Emmys in September and will then tour through a selection of Hearts On Fire's fine jewelry partners around the U.S. this fall and internationally in 2009.
