DALLAS, Jul 29, 2012/ — Madrid-based jeweler Carrera y Carrera unveils Mediterráneo, a fresh, youthful, and innovative collection that tells of the legends of goddesses and nymphs who have dwelt in this tranquil sea through the exquisite craftsmanship of its pieces in yellow gold, white gold, and diamonds.
Mediterráneo brings us to the crystalline waters of this sea and to its shores of fine golden sand where we discover jewels inspired by the shapes and volumes of its hidden treasures: iridescent seashells, original Nautilus, and suggestive starfish shining in the sun.
Pieces especially created with a young, professional and independent woman in mind, one who is sophisticated and always exquisitely elegant. The Mediterráneo woman shows her strength of character through her own image, her way of dressing, and also through the accessories she uses daily, such as jewelry.
Each one of the spectacular pieces in this collection suggests unforgettable moments in which the splendor of the sun and its sunsets recall waters laden with myths and legends, goddesses and nymphs.
Epic stories have inspired each one of the lines of Mediterráneo: Actea, the beautiful, vigilant nymph that watched over sailors; Afrodita, the embodiment of tender love on the shores of a calm sea; Calipso, symbol of passion and desire for heroic Odysseus; and finally, Atenea, the magnificent goddess that displayed her splendor across the seas of the world.
Olivia Palermo has become the face of the Mediterráneo collection, marking this fabulous experience as one of the great moments of her life.
The warm Ibiza sun reflected on the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean Sea illuminates the perfect harmony of extraordinary Carrera y Carrera pieces inspired by conches, starfish and the voluptuous forms of Nautilus – pieces that combine femininity, strength, and the glamour of Olivia Palermo.
