UNOde50 - A Creative Universe comes to Atlanta

A Spanish brand of handcrafted jewelry whose hallmark is its unique and distinctive design, UNOde50 was founded in the late 1990s by a group of creative artists who resolved to create a fashion jewelry brand that would break all existing molds. Designing pieces in their own unique style, the brand soon became known for its innovative and trendsetting approach. UNOde50 was launched with the original and exclusive philosophy of creating 50 of each design, giving rise to the brand name. After being acquired by arbiter of design, José Azulay, what followed was a revolution in which the techniques and processes of traditional jewelry-making were replaced by a newly cultivated process of creating characteristic jewelry with decidedly original designs.

As part of the commitment, UNO constructs and manufactures its products at the headquarters in Madrid. The element of “Made in Spain,” the personality and Spanish DNA of each UNOde50 piece are guarantees of the quality and assurance transmitted by a work of creativity that is full of vitality, optimism and a zest for life. A brand that doesn’t settle for conform, the collection of iconic pieces continues to grow, accumulating history and passion along the way. In the process of experimentation, the use of new materials and combinations helps advance, improve, evolve, with the same desire to create jewelry that is daring and individual. 

Edgy and before its time, each piece is a work of art, a distinctive piece with a voice that conveys strength and energy. Created, organic designs based on forms found in nature, UNOde50 jewelry is inspired by emotions that trigger unique sensations and take pride in being perfectly imperfect, brave, and able to evoke a suggestive and stimulating universe of feeling. Each of its pieces are unmistakable thanks to the use of a proprietary alloy that respects the artisanal nature of the manufacturing process. In addition to leather, crystals and pearls, the alloy used by the brand is one of its distinguishing features. An iconography that is embodied in the two collections UNOde50 launches each year, the alloy covers organic designs inspired by everyday objects and natural forms.

Not only creating pieces specific for men and women, the Madrid-born jewelry brand known for its bold, creative handcrafted designs, has also recently launched Genderless by UNOde50.  A new, gender neutral collection that symbolizes the strongest unions, embraces gender equality, and reaffirms freedom of expression.  Genderless by UNOde50 is a statement of “Love Has No Rules.” Love should always be celebrated and never judged.  Love is genderless. Unisex pieces have always been a part of UNOde50’s brand DNA. The new collection, consisting of eight curated bracelet sets, provides a sleek modern look for loved ones to express their unity. The bracelet combinations, inspired by UNOde50’s most iconic designs offer unique styles in gold and silver, with select styles juxtaposed with genuine leather. Genderless by UNOde50 celebrates love, empowerment, and being true to oneself. This nonconformist and visionary spirit has always been a part of UNOde50’s core values.

DVF RECAP: Grand Opening Atlanta

DVF brought its New York City chic to Atlanta and celebrated with a spectacular grand opening soiree last night. The newest Diane von Furstenberg showroom is located at Lenox Square Mall in Buckhead.

Brittany Hampton, who won the coveted title of DVF Ambassador per the House of DVF - a show on the E! Network that had me glued to my fashion seat- hosted the festivities last night. Brittany was lovely, and naturally, in high demand, surrounded by endless fans and the E! cameras who were filming season 2. From what I heard, next season is going to be insane!

The event itself was wonderful. Mainly because the energy from guests and the DVF glamazons alike was happy, enthusiastic and very friendly. Everyone was having a super great time, sipping on bubbly, engaged in conversation and of course, shopping. I noticed something quite refreshing (for those of us who go out too much!) there were many new, fresh faces in attendance. I loved that!

As for the showroom... its layout, look and design are perfection. The feel is clean, polished, refined and elegant, like its iconic leader. Welcome to Atlanta Diane von Furstenberg.
