Anna Sheffield Event
8:12 PM
Last week we had the chance to go to an event hosted by Anna Sheffield, a fine jewelry designer known for her unique engagement rings. Our friend Constance, designer of Victoire Focx handbangs, invited us to join her for a night to support local artists. Held in Anna's store and studio in the Lower East Side, we got to browse the collection while meeting some other great companies.
Anna uses conflict-free diamonds as well as other precious and rare gemstones to create her one of a kind creations. Her take on classic engagement rings perfectly combine vintage and modern by adding an edgy band to classic cuts. We also loved her varying use of stones and metals; even lower carat rings have a unique and interesting look, meaning you can find an option across many budgets. Take a look at her wonderful jewelry here. She also has a lower priced jewelry line called Bing Bang which is very hip and spunky. They have many fun things that can be great gifts, check out Bing Bang here.
Also showcased at the event were hair and makeup artists Lauren E. Hack and Vanessa Ungaro, known as Lauren & Vanessa. They have their own salon in Soho and specialize in hair and makeup for wedding parties. The duo met Anna at a wedding expo in the city, and have since discussed doing an event together. The two were promoting their new cosmetic line, specifically the two new shades in their creamy lipstick: Pink Truffle and Bordeaux. We're loving the highly pigmented yet hydrating colors, which you can find here.
An event without some sweet treats would be incomplete. La Cure Gourmande supplied a variety of french confections that did not disappoint. The setup included various caramels (salted, fig, and chocolate), dark chocolate covered almonds, and calissons (chocolate marzipan). The company was founded in France in 1989, but opened their first U.S. store last March in New York's financial district. Working for the company's North American expansion, Mathilde Chamouton was excited to inform us about the candies as well as the company. You can order any of their delicious treats straight from the South of France off of there website.
We're also so glad our photographer was able to come along to capture this wonderful event and showcase these emerging brands.
