H. STERN’S latest Red Carpet collection includes pieces inspired by the pre-Columbian era. It interprets the belief of ancient American civilizations that spirits existed not only in humans, but also in animals, plants and minerals.

Set in Noble Gold, pavé diamonds in various shades of cognac and black mirror the pattern of snakeskin, while rings that coil around the finger, a bracelet, and a necklace show a serpent’s sinuous movements.

Rose gold rings, earrings and a bracelet studded with black-and-white pavé diamonds represent another powerful creature, the jaguar, which was believed to symbolize the earthly world and men of strength and power.

Another elegant set is that made of malleable Noble Gold and yellow gold small triangular plates that look like fish scales. Among others, long drop earrings also come in onyx, a black stone widely used in ancient times and is known for absorbing and dissipating negative energies.

Topping off the Ancient America collection are H. Stern’s offerings in brushed yellow gold and rose gold with cognac diamonds that look as delicate and eye-catching as the feathers of a majestic bird.

With fine jewelry that dazzles in the most flattering forms, H. Stern continues to create pieces full of personality, empowering women and allowing them to make a bold yet understated statement.

H.Stern’s Ancient America collection is available at Adora, 2/F Greenbelt 5, Ayala Center, Makati City.
