H. Stern's red carpet collection makes rare stop in Manila

MANILA, Philippines –  There is no doubting the power of the red carpet. These events involve only the elite of the elite among celebrities, dresses and jewelry. H. Stern happens to be among the select few jewelry designers whose pieces have become a mainstay, not by observing the trends but by standing out with its creative inspirations. From the Golden Globes to the Oscars and even film premieres, H. Stern pieces are seen around the necks and wrists of popular stars who set trends, rather than follow them. Jennifer Lopez and Naomi Watts, for instance, have selected H. Stern jewelry to wear, not because the pieces reflect everyday style, but because of the brand’s distinctive and never-before-seen designs.

The secret is that these pieces are meant for overtly glamorous occasions. And who wouldn’t want to be part of that? Catherine Zeta Jones, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz, Jessica Alba and Sharon Stone have all have graced magazine covers and made red carpet appearances in H. Stern’s designs precisely because the pieces “share” the spotlight with them.

 The style of each piece of jewelry is so unlike any other, you’ll know immediately that you’re looking at an H. Stern. Truly organic looking, the pieces usually sport large colored gemstones and palettes with earth tones. The designs have an autumn feel, showing off golden hues and motifs with leaves. And there is always variety, life and movement in every collection. Other themes for the H. Stern line are a star design crafted in 18k gold alloy and champagne diamonds. The Diane Von Furstenberg collection features designs with large colored gemstones and large gold links.

H. Stern’s constant search for new sources of inspiration (everything from art and architecture to pop culture and couture) is what makes it special. This youthful attitude towards a 60-year-old jewelry tradition gives H. Stern a modern edge that sets it apart. Whether creating new styles, anticipating the next look or smoothly introducing the classics of the future, the impact of H. Stern is always unique  and always powerful. Manila will never be the same.

 H. Stern is available only at Adora Department Store, 2nd floor, Greenbelt 5. The Red Carpet Collection is at Adora for only one month, starting December.
