Photo of the Day, December 14, 2013: Blinged Out Cocktail Jewelry By Edward Owl

Edward Owl’s Prince Ring, 13K Swiss Blue Topaz Cocktail Ring

Some jewelry makes a statement. Edward Owl Design and Ornament goes KAPOW!

Architect and Edward Owl Designer Holly Luttrell makes outsized yet classic cocktail rings, bracelets and necklaces. These are pieces that you want to wear all day, every day just because they make you feel fabulous.

Women of all ages love Holly’s gemstone designs. Often, mothers will buy an Edward Owl cocktail ring to give to their daughters as their first piece of grown up jewelry.

Holly also likes to see men making “sneaky” holiday purchases. Their wives or girlfriends will stop by the display, admire a piece and then wander away. Inevitably, their companion will sneak back and pick up the favorite bauble in a beautiful gift box. It’s quite romantic, really.

Holly is happy to share information about individual pieces, especially with regard to the size and provenance of each large stone. Right now, she is particularly excited about the Bernadette Necklace. It’s made from a mammoth 225 karat tourmalinated quartz set into a massive silver setting with an adjustable chain. I would love to know the daring, super stylish woman who takes that piece home this season.

Edward Owl is open this season at the Columbus Circle Holiday Market. On opening day, a woman rushed up to the booth. She had seen a ring last December, and she didn’t buy it then. Predictably, for the rest of the year, she regretted her decision with every party or event she attended. So she came back with no intention of going another year without some glorious bling from Edward Owl.
