SUZANNE KALAN & NAM CHO in the NEW YORK POST

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all having a great Tuesday. The weather in Manhattan is BEAUTIFUL and we are loving it.

Two of our designers, Suzanne Kalan and Nam Cho, were featured in the "Pulse" section of Sunday's New York Post as part of a story about non-traditional wedding bands. Here is a link to the story (click on "related stories" on the left hand side of the page to see it in full.) I've also included the image below - courtesy of the New York Post.

Suzanne Kalan's ring is second from the top, and Nam Cho's is the last (but CERTAINLY not least) on the bottom. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

xoxo,
Janet

2. Your favorite red carpet moment of all time? Nicole Kidman. 1997. Back in the day when she was Mrs. Tom Cruise. Yellow Christian Dior gown. Red Lipstick. Chandelier earrings. She stole the show!

3. Your most reassured piece of jewelry, and why? My butterfly ring from Van Cleef & Arpel; it reminds me of my mother.

12. Facebook or Twitter? Both. Especially Fragments’ pages.
13. Style Icon. Lady Gaga & Karl Lagerfeld

14. If you could design a piece of jewelry right now, based on your current mood and surroundings, what would it be? Oxidized silver, diamonds and 24k yellow gold slinky, long tassel earrings.
15. Black or white? Black. Definitely black. New York City black.
16. The best part of New York City is…the energy of Soho, and Fragments, of course!
17. Tell me your greatest asset and your biggest flaw. My passion for life is my greatest asset. My biggest flaw is…indulgence.
18. If you could have any piece from Fragments TODAY, what would it be? A Borgioni beaded bracelet with a yellow gold and diamond Buddha.
