November 2017. Fine jewelry designer, Suzanne Kalan continues to expand her signature line with new collection, Rainbow Fireworks.
Since debuting the Fireworks line six years ago, as part of her Vitrine collection, Suzanne has expanded the concept and her use of baguette diamonds to feature a wide range of styles. She’s intigrated layering styles into the Fireworks collection including, charms, fringe and movement jewelry pieces.
Her latest line is a natural progression of her signature collection, and now features multi-colored baguette-cut and square-cut sapphires in seemingly scattered settings to reveal beautiful and illusive explosions of color.
“When I started the Fireworks collection, I changed the perception of how baguette diamonds are traditionally used. I found that having the diamonds offset increases the drama in a piece. I have always used unique vibrant gemstones in my collections, and I wanted to add more color back into my signature line. Sapphires come in a wide range of colors, and I found them to be more stunning in a baguette-cut,” she says.
Suzanne finds inspiration all around, especially in nature and during her trips around the world. In the last few months, Suzanne has been traveling to Greece, Italy, Kuwait, London, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. Each sapphire stone, detail and design are reminiscent of her recent travels. The green sapphire tones are inspired by the forests along the Meditterean coastline, the yellow sapphires symbolize the bright sun in the Middle East and the blue sapphires resemeble the beautiful beaches in Mykonos.
The combination of multi-colored sapphires and intricate settings display dynamic and stunning rainbow like designs. The line features a wide range of styles including, chokers, pendants, earrings, bracelets and rings. Many of the pieces are also accented with white round diamonds and baguette diamonds. There are currently 15 SKUs in the collection, and Suzanne is adding more pieces to the line. The collection has styles that retail from $750 - $26,000 USD. The collection will be arriving into stores in December 2017.
