International Jewelry Designer Kerstin Belz Launches New ‘Liquid’ Line
Newswire Today (press release), UK
Internationally renowned jewelry designer Kerstin Belz has launched her new line “Liquid” by Gabrielxxo, the new e-commerce company (Gabrielxxo.com) she’s formed to combine jewelry, art and fashion. “I’ve always wanted to start a company which celebrates the influence of art, fashion and jewelry on our culture,” Belz stated. “My inspiration for the line originated with the force and cleansing nature of water, one of the five Chinese elements, and my time spent on some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. I came up with designs that tangibly reflect those experiences,” she concluded.
For instance, the Faro pendant is homage to Portugal, the Atiu choker is an impression from the Cook Islands and Tanna bracelet speaks of Vanuatu. The stunning “Liquid Collection” embodies sensuous, free forms captured in brilliant, nickel free, Rhodium infused, PR925 Sterling Silver. Combined with Tahitian black pearls, sparkling diamonds with G color and VS clarity, and delicate leather cording, the line has an organic and elegant feel. “Liquid” is comprised of 35 individual pieces ranging in price from $95 to $2900. As with all Ms. Belz’s past lines, the “Liquid Collection” combines inspired design, meticulous craftsmanship and superior materials in an uncomplicated and essential way. In essence, it is highly accessible, free-form sculpture translated into beautiful, yet affordable luxury jewelry.
Berlin born, Kerstin’s childhood was split between Germany and the Cote d’Ivoire in West Africa. She has lived and worked throughout West Africa (Cote d’Ivoire, Gabon, Senegal), North Africa (Morocco, Tunisia), Australasia (Thailand, Australia, and Tahiti) and Europe (France, Switzerland). After launching a black pearl jewelry line in Australia in 1998, she moved to Tahiti as a consultant for the legendary Robert Wan — the industry’s most important grower, trader and black pearl jeweler. From there, she relocated to Los Angeles in 2001 as Vice President for Niessing, the prestigious German jewelry firm.
“Liquid” will also be available in select stores worldwide, see website for details. We can look forward to “Liquid” being followed up by “Earth,” “Air,” “Fire,” and “The Fifth Element” rounding out the five aforementioned Chinese elements. Her aspiration is to create an e-commerce community on the site that will be a launch pad for artists, designers and photographers with her jewelry as the inspiration.
