Luxury Jewelry from Out of Africa

 

What do Barack Obama, Kate Middleton, and JK Rowling have in common? (This is a toughie!)

Give up?

They're all fans of Patrick Mavros and his luxury designer jewelry. Our featured video focuses on Mavros as he describes his firm's creative process, creating cast silver and gold home goods, tabletop accessories, and jewelry (they even have a furniture line). His inspiration is taken directly from his native Africa, and there are Patrick Mavros outlets in Harare, London, and the vacation island paradise of Mauritius. Click here to explore his dynamic Women's Jewelry Collections (see photo above for pieces from his Crocodile and Crocodile Skin groups).

 

As the lead curriculum developer for Sheffield School, I've been noticing how the worlds of fashion, interior design, and jewelry are rapidly intersecting. If you're also interested in design, I encourage you to explore the Sheffield SchoolNew York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng ShuiWedding and Event Planningand Jewelry DesignWith thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.
