Prounis Jewelry Illuminates New York's Bergdorf Goodman

Inspired by antiquity, New York-based jewelry designer and goldsmith Jean Prounis mixes pure gold with copper and fine silver to create 22-karat gold jewelry stylistically reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman adornments while embodying 21.st century attitude Some notable Prounis pieces that are available at Bergdorf Goodman include the kinetic pearl Pagoda Earrings, which feature multiple granulated 22-karat gold domes that glow with lustrous South Sea pearls swaying underneath Regarding the fact that her collection is showing in one of New York's leading luxury jewelry emporiums, Prounis says, "I have always admired Bergdorf's dedication to exquisite fine jewelry, so it's an honor to be included in their jewelry department" There's an historic connection between her great-grandparents' nightclub, The Versailles, and Bergdorfs, since both businesses played dynamic roles in New York's glamorous post-war social and fashion scenes.

"All of our pieces are hand made in New York and the gold we use is recycled from scrap gold jewelry that has been refined to 24 karat gold." With this material, Prounis alloys small batches of 22 karat gold using a mixture of refined 24 karat gold, copper, and fine silver "Our clients appreciate that no two of our handmade jewels are alike, as well as the fact that our entire collection is produced in New York's jewelry district," Prounis says In designs for her time-traveling, 21st century brand, Prounis will continue using ancient Greek artifacts and objects as references points.

"I found a deep well of new inspiration for the next few jewelry chapters My new collection launching in 2019 is inspired by the ancient laurel wreath, a revered symbol dating back to Greek mythology," she notes, "And I'll be offering engraving in Greek letters I'm also planning to expand into home ware and fragrance collections" Having already established herself as a prodigious luxury jewelry designer, Jean Prounis seems destined to shine in other realms she turns her talents to.
