Not being jewelry people per se, we never know what to envision when we get a press invite to preview a jewelry collection.

Well, we hauled it downtown and immediately-as soon as we saw the talented NYC based designer, Rebekah Lea Schwartz, adorned in her cuff like Golden Vine earrings...we knew that this was no ordinary pretty bling fling---but are mysteriously statement making, hand crafted works of arts...to treasure.
