New Collection of Gothic-Medieval Jewelry Proves a Hit for Seattle Jeweler

SEATTLE, March 21 /PRNewswire/ -- A runway show in Portland in December has brought jeweler Behnaz Beaumont attention she knows exactly what to do with. The show, featuring her latest collection Searching for Medici, will broadcast on CNN this month, introducing a whole new audience to her distinctly different designs. The creative force behind Jewelry by Behnaz is already concentrating on her new venture, however: setting up a workshop in Bucharest, Romania, where she will work on her next collection.

Beaumont has already established a reputation for producing highly unusual and spirited jewelry which is evocative of an older, simpler time. Every piece is completely unique and has tapped into a real desire for individualism and self-expression, especially among young professional women. The size and edginess of her pieces, however, mean they're appealing to men as well.

The Searching for Medici collection continues her fascination with the Medieval period and for removing the boundaries between fashion and art. This collection features photographs and fabric incorporated into the jewelry with metal and semi-precious stones. The pieces are hugely adaptable and go particularly well with understated eveningwear. The fact that the jewelry can be effectively displayed in a runway show like the one featuring on CNN shows just how eye-catching the pieces are.

The move to Romania reflects the whole philosophy of Jewelry by Behnaz. It's a rich exoticism, combined with the appeal of something that actually looks handmade, rather than designed by computer and churned out in thousands in Taiwan. It's clear that there is love, thought, and unashamed romanticism in every piece Beaumont produces. Rather than being a quick mindless Valentine's Day pickup, a piece from Jewelry by Behnaz demonstrates a real appreciation for your partner's personality, and will be remembered and treasured forever.

Jewelry by Behnaz was founded in 2001 and is a member of the Portland Fashion Incubator. They retail both on the Internet, at http://www.behnaz.com/, and in a number of boutiques on the West Coast, including David Lawrence.
