The name “Trump” is synonymous with wealth and luxury, so it seems fitting that the name Ivanka Trump is coming to epitomize feminine, decadent, and creatively lush jewels. Ivanka’s latest collection was inspired by her travels to Morocco, Turkey, and Baku, Azerbaijan, as well as her passion for art-deco style – and it shows. The “Noor” (meaning “light” in Arabic) collection, released this spring, blends classically elegant early twentieth-century glamour with the thrill of the exotic.
There’s an emphasis on both layers and transparency at play here. Vintage lace, intricate patterns, and hints of Byzantine architecture meet via oversized stones of black onyx, pearls, and white agate enclosed in white-gold cages, adorned in what often looks like hundreds of little diamonds, and surrounded by branch-like, lace-effect enamel. Big cocktail rings, ribbon-and-diamond bracelets, and long-stranded necklaces invite a girlish quality to serious jewels, while plays on proportion and scale offer youthful appeal to what would otherwise be too grand to feel at all funky. But the queen of the collection? A one-of-a-kind necklace composed of over 3,000 diamonds, valued at a hefty $150,000. Hey, it just wouldn’t be Trump without at least one mega-majestic piece! At Ivanka Trump for $1,500-$50,000.
