Borgioni Monkey Necklace

Descripción

A perfectly matched set… this is the only way to truly capture the spirit of the Borgioni Private Collection and its creators: the mother-daughter team of Rhonda and Tiffany Bartolacci. Considering Tiffany’s laid-back bohemian attitude and the sharp contrast it plays with Rhonda’s rock-star-at-heart style, the pair certainly defies convention. Yet, it is their ability to do so that defines the collection itself."We like to think that the pieces we create are truly unique. One-of-a-kind pieces of art that people can wear as accessories," Tiffany said. It’s a philosophy that is evidently shared by some of the most prolific names in fashion and entertainment. Such fashion trendsetters as Heidi Klum, Brad Pitt, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Nicole Richie, guitarist Dave Navarro, Lindsay Lohan and other celebrities are routinely spotted wearing the glam-rock gold-nugget skulls, jeweled spiders, Buddhist prayer beads, sculpted gold bangles, dainty nature-inspired pendants, layered chains, and other pieces from the Borgioni Private Collection. Rocker Axl Rose and American Idol’s Randy Jackson are such big fans of the line that they each own multiple pieces that serve as "signature" looks for the two stars. Another person that’d be impressed with the design duo would be the Borgioni matriarch, Emily Borgioni Bartolacci, who is mother to Rhonda and grandmother to Tiffany. When Emily passed away several years ago, she left several antique jewelry pieces to her daughter and granddaughter. Wanting to honor their inheritance by wearing it, the two took the pieces to a local jeweler and had the stones reset into designs of their own creation. Friends, relatives, and colleagues were immediately drawn to the pieces, and just a short time later Tiffany and Rhonda decided to take their designs public. Today, the Borgioni Private Collection represents some of the most expressive and eclectic fine jewelry pieces in all of fashion.
