Paula Mendoza Unveils New Jewelry Collection

Online, July 8, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Colombian jewelry designer Paula Mendoza, is launching her new Fall/Winter 2010 collection titled "Big Ben" at the end of this month in stores worldwide.

Paula Mendoza decided to name her new collection "Big Ben" in order to evoke the cultural eclecticism of a city such as London, where it doesn't matter how punk, hippie or conservative an individual may be, they can always express themselves with a piece of her jewelry.

Combining precious metals with both precious and semiprecious stones, the collection is a representation of the fusion of international tastes, styles and cultures that together make up London. "Big Ben" is a mixture of simple yet bold, architectonic yet fashion forward pieces made for truly accentuating the wearer's wardrobe.

Paula Mendoza is based in Washington, D.C., but expresses her pride in her Colombian heritage not only through the stones around which she designs her jewelry but also the resources behind the making of the different pieces. As a true Colombian, Paula strives to give back to her country as well as show the world both its beauty and potential. For that reason, all her jewelry is handmade in Colombia and Paula sources all the emeralds, gold, silver, and majority of the stones in country.

Paula's vision is to make wearable, one of a kind, pieces of art that transcend generations. Her jewelry is sculpted around the stone that Paula herself handpicks, making each piece one of a kind. "You will never own two of the same. Each piece is unique like the stone that inspires the design." says Paula.

Next showcase: August 1-3, ENK Accessorie Circuit, Javits Center, NYC
