(NEW YORK) Tinsley Mortimer isn’t the only stylish PYT aiming to leave her mark in the world of fashion. Genevieve Jones has created her own eponymous capsule collection of jewelry, inspired by her travels with an emphasis on nature. “It tells a story, like a poem, because each piece is related to the next,” Jones said of the initial 13 pieces, which include earrings, bracelets, rings, and one necklace—all fashioned in a combination of 18-karat gold, diamonds, and semi-precious stones ranging from amethyst and topaz to garnets and emeralds. The collection was conceived of and produced with an artisan in Thailand, where Jones recently spent a considerable amount of time. “I’ve always been creative, making things for myself,” she rationalized. “I thought it was a great time for me to do something like this. Sometimes it’s good not to think too hard; otherwise, you can think yourself out of ideas. Basically, I was tired of talking about things I wanted to do.” The collection, which is still in its initial stages—Jones has yet to show the line to retailers—features intrinsic details that she hopes, her bold-faced status aside, will set her line apart from others. Bracelets, for instance, feature the ripple of a snake vertebrae or the spiky tail of a stingray; shell rings are fashioned in 18-karat gold and diamonds. Price points have yet to be finalized, but Jones likens them to be on par with the realm of fine jewelry.
Meanwhile, Jones’ friend, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, an art director at Baron + Baron, created the square logo that will be discreetly laser-etched onto the pieces. “It’s a G and J mirroring each other four times and upside down,” Jones described. “It has an Asian look to it.” As for her own personal inspiration, Jones said that she’s always admired Cartier’s Indian-inspired collections as well as Diane von Furstenberg’s personal jewelry style. But her travels to destinations like New Mexico and Utah played an influential factor in the design as well. “The ocean and desert are my two favorite extreme destinations,” she said.
During her time in Thailand, Jones also created a collection of handbags made from stingray, python, and snakeskin—though for now, she’s content to just let her friends show them off. “I treated this collection like an art installation,” she emphasized. “This isn’t me re-casting my grandmother’s rings. They’re original and unique and look good on. They’re not too rare to wear.”

the concept actually sounds nice, i like the sound of the snake vertebrae (do they even have these?!). The logo sounds boring though. Just like every other logo out there .Givenchy immediately comes to mind. I'm curious to see but i have reservations. Though i like that she is working with an artisan in thailand instead of 'Cartier presents....Genevieve Jones' sort of deal.

Yes, they do ...

Oh ... and you're spot on about the logo thingie ... didnt know exactly which one reminded me of, ... of course Givenchy!!!

Frankly, I'm glad that Genevieve is realizing that she needs her own streams of income.

[thefrancofille]

She's back! I'm glad she's doing something because that WSJ article made it seem like she was aimless. Good for her!

 

[silk skin paws]

^^Yeah at least she's not "aimless".

 

[laurette]

her skin colour is so amazing, it is chocolate-like

 

[rochasfille]

^I know. She always looks so creamy delicious. And she looks amazing in brights.

She is a lovely shade of brown. But her foundation is always off and a bit chalky. (Being a fellow brown girl, I notice these things!)

She does look amazing in yellow.

 

[Katie123]

mmm idk, she has an amazing style n deffinitely knows what suits her well, but her face is a bit boring. but yes she's pretty cute-looking for a 30 year-old!

 

[LeBelAge]

I love her in those white dresses. She looks so doll-ish, very fine boned and delicate. And amazing cheekbones too. Yes, I am in love and I am not even gay.

True, her foundation sometimes looks chalky, but most of the times, I think it looks great.
