A Breathtaking Colombian Heart Emerald: Luscious AVAKIAN Necklace
With emerald green having been declared the colour of 2013 by Pantone colour experts, the internationally renown couture jeweller Avakian made the green beryl the perfect accent to some of his stunning jewels.
Designed especially for the Cannes festival this year, Avakian’s precious jewellery pieces were spotted on such celebrities as Rosario Dawson, Dita Von Teese, Paris Hilton, Alessandra Amrosio, Victoria Silvstedt, Ana Beatriz Barros and many others. However, among all the glitz and sparkle of Cannes jewellery, one necklace especially stood out thanks to its unprecedented beauty emphasized by a luscious emerald resting on a bed of blue sapphires and snow-white diamonds.
