ELYSSA BASS
We’ve heard about the statement necklace, the over-sized cuff and the larger than life bauble rings, but wearing statement jewelry isn’t always trend-driven, it can in fact be inspired
by the past. That is what Elyssa Bass has proven with
her designs which draw inspiration from growing up in
her grandmother’s antique shop surrounded by the uber-
glamorous designs from the mid-1900s. Bass travels
the world gathering the finest gems available and creates
show-stopping creations that are at once strikingly modern
and reminiscent of the extravagance of the 1930s. The
young designer’s unique designs have caught the attention
of national magazines as well as several of Hollywood’s
A-List stars like Demi Moore, Debra Messing, Brooke
Shields, Kate Hudson and Catherine Zeta Jones. She has
also been honored with awards from several of the world’s
most prestigious trade organizations. The designer even
has a Fashion Collection which features natural gemstones,
and prices that bring new meaning to the phrase, “dia-
monds are girl’s best friend!” As she describes it, “it is real
jewelry with a luxurious 18 carat look at sterling silver
price points.” Perfectly balancing panache and sophistica-
tion, Bass is sure to become a household name in high end
jewelry. Available at Albarré Jewelry, 997-1707.
