Interview with NYC Jewelry Designer Michelle Zimmerman | Delicate Raymond

Are you in search of that "perfect" bridesmaids gift? Or maybe you are looking for just the right necklace or bracelet to help accent your beautiful dress on your wedding day?  Than look no further than NYC's Delicate Raymond, bringing you, as the name suggests, delicate, elegant handmade collections for any occasion! Each piece can be worn by itself, or simply paired with one of your own favorite pieces! We love the Monogram Collection and since this week we are talking about everything monogram this was a perfect.

As seen in several fashion and bridal magazines such as Instyle, Redbook, Glamour and Our Brides, and being worn by several celebrities including Mischa Barton, Carrie Underwood, Marcia Cross and Tori Spelling, Lela New York, interviews Delicate Raymond.

1. What is Delicate Raymond? And what services do you provide for the bride and groom?
Delicate Raymond Jewelry is famous for our custom designed Monogrammed jewelry. We allow the customer to choose coin size, chain style, and length, allowing her to "design" the necklace she has been searching for.With the recent launch of Delicate Raymond's bridal jewelry line, we are bringing the customization to brides for their most important day. We offer a selection of simple, timeless styles that can be coordinated with the bridal color party.

2. Any insider tips for the bride when looking for that perfect wedding jewelry?
I personally prefer pieces that are light and delicate, allowing me to wear a simple necklace, or to layer up with vintage pieces and diamonds.


3. Any bridal fashion trends you see happening in weddings and in fashion?
I have noticed that brides are favoring longer necklace styles to layer with more simple dress designs, that compliment a variety of necklines.

4. Do you have a favorite piece that you want to share?
I never step out of the house without my 30" Vintage Monogram Necklace, hand engraved with an "M" of course, for Michelle. I layer it with the 17" Panama Rosary in White Pearls.


5. How do you stay motivated, what inspires you?
I am inspired by the idea that accessories are supposed to "romanticize" your wardrobe. Delicate pieces that are hardly there, that can be layered up at a moments notice for a Glamourous "Golden" look.

Lela Tip: They recently launched a dedicated Bridal Boutique section on the website. All the jewelry selections can be color customized to match the bridal color party. How cool is that?!

DIY Dior inspired spring flowered necklace

 

 

the inspiration: Dior necklace 

  

what do you need? 

artificial flowers

gros grain in various colors (i used white,baby pink and purple)

pink satin ribbon

avrete bisogno di:

fiori in stoffa

gros grain in vari colori

un nastrino di raso per il fiocco

pull  out the plastic pistil

estraete il pistillo in plastica,basterà tirare

sew the petals together and cover the hole left by the pistil with some beads

ricomponete il fiore cucendo i petali uno sopra l'altro e usate qualche perlina per coprire il foro del pistillo

 

 stitch the white gros grain without blocking the thread at the end

eseguite una cucitura sul gros grain bianco senza bloccare il filo

 

and gently pull the thread, you'll see some ripple will form

tirate poi il filo e noterete che il nastro si arriccerà

 

stitch the white gros grain over the pink one

cucite il nostro bianco sopra quello rosa

now stitch the purple gros grain as shown and then press the pleats down with the iron.

I've finished the necklace stitching a row of silver beads between the pleats and then i've added a long satin ribbon at the back of the necklace, you'll fasten the necklace with a fancy bow.

a questo punto cucite il nastro viola come mostrato in figura e poi schiacchiatelo con il ferro da stiro in una direzione ottenendo delle pieghe. Ho completato la collana aggiungendo delle perline argentate tra le pieghe e un nastro di raso sul retro della collana che rifinisce e serve ad allacciare la collana con un fiocchetto.
