So, too, is the artful and intriguing use of crosshatch patterns and hand-hammered techniques. Details such as hand-polished satin finishes and classic stone shapes and colors seamlessly connect the Mekong collection theme, and reflect the essence of Nina Nguyen Designs.While the collection centers around the bangles, which fashionistas will love worn individually or stacked together, buyers can’t overlook the delightful selection east-west set marquise gemstones that make their debut in the Mekong Collection as well. Earrings, necklaces and the signature Nina Nguyen wrap bracelets, a cornerstone of Nina Nguyen Designs jewelry, complete the latest selection of pieces for 2017.The introduction of the Mekong Collection in Las Vegas will captivate buyers with its glittering selection of gemstones, including Lapis, Chrysoprase, multi-colored Sapphires, Rutilated Black Quartz, Moonstone and Diamonds set in solid Sterling Silver or 18 Karat Gold.

To top that achievement off with beautiful black oxidation, high quality conflict-free diamonds, ethically sourced gemstones bordered with beautiful 18k recycled gold is simply icing on the cake!“As it has always been, my jewelry is ethically made with responsibly sourced stones, recycled metal and conflict free diamonds ...I’m so proud to say that our beauty goes well beyond aesthetics!”For more information on Nina Nguyen Designs or the new Mekong Collection, please contact Sandi Felke or call 720-459-7664 Option 3.
