JACKSON, Wyo. — Iris Apfel once said, “Jewelry is the most transformative thing you can wear.” The notorious fashion icon exemplifies a mentality that fine jewelry doesn’t have to be reserved for special occasions, nor given only as gifts. Following in this form, modern women enjoy the empowering freedom of treating themselves, while wearing favorite pieces every day.

This week Belle Cose brings the same mantra to Jackson by hosting two California designers, both of whom will be in-store, known for their casually cool, yet chic collections. Starting prices begin at $870 for A & Furst and $470 for Rachel Katz making their pieces easy to own.

A & FURST

Giving new meaning to eye candy, designing couple Carlo Antonini and Kiki Furst trace their jewelry heritage back four generations to 1850. A stylish aesthetic showcases inspiration from Carlo’s Milanese ancestry with angular, geometric designs, while Kiki’s influence incorporates soft, graceful lines. Rainbow hued, candy-colored gemstones, along with the detailed and precise workmanship of Italian artisans, are signature characteristics of the collection.
