The Beautiful Jewels of Gilan Eye-opener for you

The Oscars of thisseason the most exuberant Oscars in years. Bold colors, dramatic gowns and the return of dramatic jewelry. Stars wearing hundreds of thousands or even million-dollar gems, bright colors and unusual settings.

Each rose-cut diamond is housed in a silver setting which naturally oxidizes. The setting is backed with detailed engraving work on yellow gold. The setting enhances the brilliance of the diamond and the intricate detial of the back of the setting is an additional treat for the wearer, akin to turning over a fine rug or weaving and finding that the back is nearly as neat and beautiful as the front. Gilan jewelry is available at their boutique in New York and will soon be sold at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills.

The "eastern magic marries the western modernity" is inspired by heritage of the Gilan brand. It was founded in 1980 in Instanbul by brothers Muharrem and Ferhan Gilan, who followed in the footsteps of their great grandmother who had been head seamstress to the opulent Ottoman Court. The brothers used their passion for design and luxury to help make Gilan a top jewelry brand in Istanbul.
