With a career background as an art historian in Sotheby’s Impressionist and Contemporary Art departments, French jewelry designer Aurelie Bidermann’s vision for creation is inspired by her extensive travels and personal love of charms and stones mixed with talismans culled from around the world. Aurelie’s jewels are exquisitely delicate yet mold beautifully with the wearer. These swan feather earrings, for example, are perennial favorites of mine. Dipped in gold (a less expensive enamel-dipped version is also available for a fraction of this pair’s price) with a lovely gold chain attached to French hook backs, these earrings scream art gallerist to me. I love them with a cashmere turtleneck sweater or a crisp white blouse–but I also love them with a black evening gown. File this under the category “Timeless Jewelry That’s Both Versatile and Elegant.”
