There are those who long for a Chinese empress’s necklace, the jewels of French kings and the treasures of the ancient Romans. If your taste in gems runs to the ageless and archaic, Robin Haley's new collection at Anatra Jewel should take your breath away. Based on casts taken from excavated artifacts found world-wide, Hadley revives the beauty of centuries past in 14- and 18-karat gold and diamonds.
Since the early ’80s, the L.A. native’s work has graced celebrities on and off camera. Now she’s become a fixture in Nashville for devotees of high-quality, fashion-forward jewelry. Anatra Jewel—the brainchild of Maria Fouce, another talented Los Angeles import—features a wide variety of designers at many different price points, with an emphasis on high fashion and custom design.
