Hanna Bernhard Jewelry & Essa

A while back i was messing around  researching some stuff on the interwebz and came upon one very interesting french costume jewelry design firm, Hanna Bernhard. 

Last October, local designer Essa - who i wrote about earlier - invited lovely Nathalie and her team to come to Dubai and bring her eye catching jewelery for his catwalk show.

 I have to admit that it was a perfect match - Essa's over the top, jewel-toned, fluid gowns complemented with Nathalie's over the top, highly ornate and unusual jewelry. 

Basically, heavenly.

Hanna Bernhard Jewelry is hand crafted with all the stones hand-set.  They use vintage Swarovsky crystals, semi-precious stones and bakelite (plastic composite). 

Unfortunately, Hanna Bernhard is not sold in Dubai, but if you really want to own these striking costume jewelry, you can order at http://www.french-bakelite.com/.  They will even special order, based on your specifications.
