The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Dubai hosted an elegant party to celebrate the launch of its newest jewelry boutique, Pandora. The 250 “IT” guest list was filled with local socialites, fashionistas, jewelry and fashion designers and other VIPs. This was the second event held by Panmeas Jewelry, the master franchise and official distributor of Pandora in the UAE. Guests were spoiled with sparkling arm candy and indulged in the beauty of Pandora’s signature feminine designs. The aesthetics of Pandora jewelry is a culmination of precious metals, gemstones and excellent craftsmanship. All Pandora gems and pearls are meticulously and individually examined before use to make sure that they meet their strict quality requirements. Pandora also had a special treat for its guests: Three skilled Murano craftsmen from Pandora’s Italia factories in the glassmaking center of the world. They showcased their workmanship and art of making Murano beads, while guests witnessed first-hand the exquisite charms of exotic colors and designs. Also present was Lee Anthony Gray, one of the jewelry designers behind Pandora’s most exquisite jewelry lines, Love Pods and Liquid Silver. Both lines are inspired by nature and take a more organic approach to design. “There has been a strong return within design to the organic, bio-natural forms,” stated Lee. “We set out to find the source of these shapes and expressions, and we found ourselves in nature’s own ‘design diversity’ of various plant structures and flowers.” Love Pods is a an exclusive line of jewelry in 18k gold or white gold that is inspired by nature’s own unique idiom. The jewelry contains beautiful precious stones in a wide variety of colors that whether individually or combined depict the simple and pure beauty of nature. His Liquid Silver line is inspired by water and made from high quality sterling silver. The feminine fluid shapes give the pieces a mysterious and a minimalist expression - discrete, yet still sophisticated, the pieces express a purity and simplicity that is just as bold as its opulent counterparts. Pandora contains a plethora of divinely crafted jewelry that seems to freeze life’s unforgettable moments in the sparkle of a single gem, or twist of a chic, contemporary design. With its fresh presence in the Arab retail universe, Dubai already feels a little - richer.
