Empress Duchess & Tart
presents...
shameless baubles!
Empress Duchess & Tart is a new
interpretation of jewelry. This hybrid of luxury and whimsy combines
non-precious jewelry with high-octane impact.
As the name implies, Empress Duchess & Tart
appeals to all manner of women. Its original designs are sometimes
historically derived, or simply the manifestation of a lively
imagination. Handmade and meticulously finished by artisans in Italy and
France, the fabulous "faux" jewels are wildly popular amongst stylish
women who mix them with their own fine jewelry. EDT's stunning baubles
can complement a special outfit or add that "something special" to the
little black dress.
Some are one-off collection items. Each
major piece bears the name of a memorable woman in history, literature,
the arts, or the world of intrigue: Josephine, Jezebel, Scarlett,
Marilyn... all inspirational and sensational ladies.
In keeping with the light hearted nature of
the product, Empress Duchess & Tart's retail pricing is at reasonable
levels, from $85 for a simple set of earrings to $2500 for a one-off
necklace.
"Shameless Baubles," Empress Duchess &
Tart's tag line sums it up: not for the faint of heart, each piece calls
attention to its wearer as a woman with confidence in her style.
Empress Duchess & Tart is being introduced
into the US market by Diana Quasha. A graduate of Columbia Business
School, Mrs. Quasha started her career at Bloomingdale's in the late
1970's. In the last decade, she oversaw the restructuring and
re-merchandizing of Gumps San Francisco and then became the President of
Compagnie de la Chine, the US branch of Compagnie Francaise de l'Orient
et de la Chine based in Paris.
