Morning mango
We have been inspire by a slow animal using some of is figures into the jewelry.
As I write to you I'm discussing jewelry at breakfast next to the gong with my brother in law Peter Byworth about bracelet from Buccellati. Seems quiet an interesting piece made of silver and gold 18k with diamonds selling very well in the USA.
Oups! it's time for my daily yoga...
Using 2 billion years stones
On my way back my brother and I will introduce a new line of jewelry made out of carbon. It's indeed one of the oldest stone with some high energy power. Since I'm a new mum I have been concerned with mobile's radiation and how can I still use my iPhone and not compromise my baby's health. Will let you know more from Thailand...to be continued

Mother of Pearl, which is abbreviated MOP, is the “Stone of Sincerity”. It signifies faith, charity, and innocence, and is believed to enhance personal integrity, and helps to provide focus to ones attention.
The pearl has been known as a “stone of sincerity”, bring truth to situations and loyalty to a “cause”. It has been used to inhibit boisterous behavior, and to provide a reflection of the self such that one may see the manner in which one appears to others.

Interview with Ahalife
Name: Marielle Byworth
Location: Hong Kong
Products: Elema bracelet and Matreck earrings
Marielle Byworth makes good use of her downtime. The Swiss-educated, Hong Kong-based designer came up with the idea for her Marijoli jewelry line while diving in the Maldives and Palau a few years ago. Fans of her nature-inspired pieces include Kate Moss and Madonna.
What inspired you to create this jewelry?
I had spent a lot of time diving in some beautiful spots like the Maldives and Palau and I became mesmerized by the beauty of nature. At the same time I was working with a jewelry maker to come up with some fresh designs and I really wanted to be able to replicate the beauty of the underwater world and have it with me at all times. A piece of jewelry was the perfect solution.
How were the pieces made?
The initial process started with the inspiration and working relationship above, from there I went to my Tokyo studio and started to draw designs. Once I was happy with the designs I made models in wax so I could play with the shapes. The next phase was to start talking with manufacturers. I then made a mold using the prototype that I had created. So many of my friends liked the model that I thought I would make some for gifts. Once I started to produce, more and more people started to buy and that’s how I went into production.
What was the big aha! you had while creating this product?
The moment I found the perfect shape and curve—it took a while.
Can you describe your creative process?
It’s kind of like a meditation process. I spend a lot of time focusing on a magical moment and focus on it the whole time when producing a piece.
What do you love about what you do?
That I can help people express themselves. I love seeing what people come up with. I worked with the Miss Universe Japan girls and they were very creative with how they wore the Elema piece—around a boot, covering a watch, around their necks. All extremely cool and saying something different. I particularly love seeing how proud people look when they are wearing my pieces.
How would you sum up your aesthetic/design philosophy?
Abstract minimalism with elegance and beauty that you can relate to.
What are you working on next?
I am working on a line for older people, children and parents using the power of healing stones
What would you like to do other than your current occupation?
I would like to broaden what I design to include a range of bags, belts and accessories.

Is Debbie Han today!
Critics, philosophers, and theoreticians have stated that, during a recession, artists can return to fundamentals: branding, art market booms, and the constant cycle of the same artists being exhibited can finally come to a halt. In the past three years we have seen a return to Pop art, photo realism, and Conceptual art that have proved successful, yet don’t bring anything new to the table ideologically. Debbie Han not only captures the magnificence of Classical aesthetic beauty that the likes of Kant and Hegel would concur upon, but adds a new dimension of contemporary and Post-Modern ideals for the viewer to sink their teeth into.
Han’s images of present-day Asian women’s bodies attached to classical western goddess heads combines the Orient with the Occident and opens a dialogue on Orientalism; Feminism; the Sublime; Beauty; authenticity; propriety; and perception. Each figure, digitally rendered to the perfection of a marble statue appears seamless, virginal, and flawless, and yet the viewer somehow feels as though these women have a secret amongst themselves and each other – laughing at you for not being their ideal of perfection. “Secretive Graces” pictures the busts of three women whispering to each other: “what do you think of these people passing by?” “Look at these gallery-goers who are so consumed with the need for consumption,” “Watch them stare at us in their ignorance of our oppositional gaze,” “The men watch us phallocularly but we have them fooled, don’t we girls?”

New York - New Boutique!
Item New York, a newly opened boutique on 444 Broome St. between Broadway and Mercer in New York’s upscale SoHo neighborhood is the latest store to carry jewelry styles by Marielle Byworth for MARIJOLI. The cozy store features a minimalistic interior with gunmetal colored walls and dark wood accents and is beautifully stocked with a well-edited selection of one-of-a-kind statement pieces from jewelry to handbags. The store’s concept is to offer its shoppers that special signature piece that becomes the standout “item” to accentuate their ensemble. We weren’t surprised Item fell in love with Marijoli's BUMA bracelet with ruby and MATRECK earrings!
Look! MARIJOLI's shapes all around

The Women’s Foundation Gala Dinner 2010
(November 18, 2010)
The Women's Foundation will hold its 2010 gala fundraising dinner on Thursday, November 18. The dinner is being sponsored by Goldman Sachs and Thomson Reuters and will be held at the Renaissance Harbourview Hotel. Mr Lam Woon-kwong, the highly regarded Chair of the EOC, will be the keynote speaker for the event. We will hold a live auction where the audience can bid to support a range of impactful community programmes in support of women’s economic self-reliance, as well as a silent auction and raffle for which we are collecting prizes. The entertainment for the evening will include a CEO boy-band. All proceeds from the event will go entirely towards supporting The Women’s Foundation and our research and community programmes. Last year's dinner raised HK$1.8 million for causes benefiting women and girls in Hong Kong and we hope this year's event will be equally successful - with your support!
