Space at Nordstrom Launches Exclusive Valentine's Day Gemstone Jewelry Collection
The green-themed capsule collection will incorporate five top emerging designers
SEATTLE (January 16, 2017) – Nordstrom, Inc. is launching an exclusive Valentine’s Day jewelry capsule collection for SPACE, its boutique for emerging and advanced designers curated by Olivia Kim, Vice President of Creative Projects. The collection hits stores Monday, January 16.
Showcasing green gemstones that align with Pantone’s 2017 hue of the year, the collection includes emerald, peridot, tsavorite and tourmaline and offers an assortment of exclusive and one-of-a-kind pieces from WWAKE, Daniela Villegas, Meadowlark, MOCIUN and Anna Sheffield. The collection starts at $99 for a Meadowlark hoop earring, and ranges to $5,000 for a pair of Anna Sheffield diamond earrings.
NYC-based WWAKE, known for bringing new perspectives to traditional jewelry, used emerald for the first time to design three exclusive, solid gold pieces for the collection: an earring, a necklace and a ring. Other exclusives include the Happy Caterpillar Necklace by Designer Daniela Villegas, made with the one-of-a-kind, tourmaline stone.
Pieces from the Meadowlark Bloom Collection are making their first stop in the United States with the launch. Made exclusively for Nordstrom, the brand also designed the Peridot Star Hoop Earrings, incorporating the peridot stone made from a gem variety of the mineral Olivine.
Caitlin Mociun of MOCIUN designed an exclusive, one-of-a-kind assortment that represents a romantic and sweet color palette, shedding light on a more delicate version of her signature stone cluster compositions and designs.
Designer Anna Sheffield focused most of her energy on ear jewelry for this collection. She used emerald to design a variety of hoops and ear climbers, made with a silver, blackened metal finish to make the green emeralds pop.
Introduced in fall 2015 by Olivia Kim, SPACE features collections from emerging and advanced designers such as Simone Rocha, Vetements, Comme des Garçons Collection, Koché, Undercover, Ellery, Colovos, Phelan, Molly Goddard and more. The shop lives as a standalone boutique within the store's designer department, and houses cross-category collections of apparel, shoes, handbags, accessories, home goods and fragrance.
