Mexican Jewelry designer Sabido & Basteris on ALMA Awards

I know the ALMA awards were a few days back but I really wanted to share this with you. Mexican Jewelry designer Sabido & Basteris outfitted ALMA award participants such as CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien, Benito Ramirez, Jordana Brewstar, Mario Lopez and award winner David Archuleta.

“To be from Mexico and to participate in the Alma Awards is a truly one of a kind memorable experience, I am so honored to be a part of this unique combination of culture and entertainment”, says designer Victor Sabido Basteris, “This will be a night to remember”. 

Completely set apart from its predecessors, Sabido & Basteris combines fine jewelry design with cutting edge technology to dye silver using natural materials to create ribbons of rainbows. The line is distinguished by brilliant colors and silver thread that is weft in a completely unique way. This visionary company is setting the standard with their fine jewelry designs that are a fashionable alternative to traditional offerings.

These two pieces are so eye catching! Enjoy!

On My Shopping List: Dominican Amber

Did you even know that there was a such a stone as Dominican Amber? I sure didn’t! Yes, I was ebaying again and searching for Dominican jewelry when I stumbled across this find. This type of amber only found in my beloved Dominican Republic is a bit more bluer. It’s one of those things I will start collecting. Except that my jewlery collection is already out of control! I didn’t even realize the amount of jewelry I had. But I did add a Dominican Amber ring to my collection. I use it as a pinky ring and I get a lot of compliments on it! I definitely wanted to share this find with you in case you are looking for jewelry that is a bit unique from every one else’s. Between this and the Larimar you will definitely find me representing Dominican Republic in different ways!

Great Jewelry Find at Lilac Festival

Besides that great beach glass that I found I also found a really cool piece of jewelry. I put it on minutes after I bought it. It’s made out of a cool stone that changes colors depending on how the light hits it. The one I bought was pink (of course! lol!) but it also looks pretty iridescent and unique. It also came with a necklace. It was originally $15 but the vendor gave it to me for $12 and took the time to play with my son and show him the colors. He also gave him his name and a high five! I wish I could remember the name of the store because it definitely needs a shout out! But I want to thank David, a vendor at the Lilac Festival. You rock and so does your jewelry!!

Here are some pics. I added one of my new red hair! My friend and I did each other’s hair. Sorry about the quality the Blackberry camera is just not cutting it. I can’t wait to get a new camera!
