Paige Novick on Her Upcoming Collection With Atelier Swarovski

Designer Paige Novick has teamed up with Atelier Swarovski to create a fine jewelry collection that spotlights a rainbow of colored topaz-alongside lab-created diamonds, and fair-trade gold The collaboration, which Novick says is meant to be ongoing, will kick off with an 11-piece collection that will debut on AtelierSwarovski.com in mid-September "The idea of collaborating with Atelier Swarovski has always been a dream for me," Novick tells JCK, sharing that she approached Atelier Swarovski two years ago with a lookbook of her pieces at the time and recalls getting "An immediate call letting me know that Nadja Swarovski loved my designs.

I remember walking on clouds for the rest of the week." The pair specifically connected on their love of color: "Nadja Swarovski and I both share a love of color, so I wanted the collection to feel authentic to each of us While there are bright pops of color throughout in the form of colored topaz, I added several straight gold and created-diamond pieces to add balance and allow the customer to mix and match." The collection is entitled Arc en Ciel, the phrase for rainbow in French, because "The colors of a rainbow are happy, and since these natural phenomenons are so rare, they evoke a sense of wonder and enchantment," says Novick Though only a few photos from the collection have been revealed, several of the pieces feature large-scale topaz stones, the designer shares-a fact that "Pushed me to explore a bolder, more playful narrative while maintaining my core DNA of sculptural and feminine design" Top: Paige Novick for Atelier Swarovski topaz and diamond rings.
