PRECIOUS STONES. UNIQUE LUXURY. POSITIVE ENERGY… What more could a girl ask for? We discover why JACQUIE AICHE designs are internationally coveted

hen touching down in California, it isn’t uncommon to witness the likes of the A-List set strolling the streets of LA adorned in Jacquie Aiche designs - Alessandra Ambrosio, Emily Ratajkowski, Chanel Iman, Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Shanina Shaik and Rihanna are but a few of the “big names” in the brand’s tribe. Created from 14k solid gold, genuine diamonds and gemstones, this exquisite jewellery label is inspired by Founder and Designer Jacquie Aiche, who blends her Egyptian Native American heritage into the brand’s creations. Designed for the rebellious woman who lives for ‘diamond details and sensual layers’, each adornment is intended to bring ‘beauty and positive energy’ to its beholder. Working directly with miners to hand select each and every precious stone embellishing her original pieces, the craftsmanship of Aiche’s yearly collections often depends on what ‘mother nature’ has uniquely delivered. Designed and handcrafted in Aiche’s Los Angeles studio, the brand continues to be shaped by its founding philosophy of “spreading positive energy, every day”. Crediting the brand’s distinct style to the unique tapestry of Aiche’s blended cultural background, the designer says she channels her ethnic roots through the sacred aesthetic of her full range of pieces, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, body jewellery and anklets. 60
