Colored gemstone pendants and dangling
earrings suit all ages and lifestyles
Big, bold, beautiful jewels express a womans personality, make a fashion statement or recall old Hollywood glamour.
My target audience is fashionable, flamboyant and open-minded, says Tamir Pinchasi, G.G., designer at Harpaz, New York City. Pendants and dangling earrings that grab attention with interesting details in unique settings celebrate colored gemstones.
