Rachel Bravman: Publicist turned Jewelry Designer
Everything Rachel Bravman touches turns to gold. Yes, most of the fashion jewelry she designs for her line Rachel Leigh is already a gold color, but her finishing touch turns the celebrity coveted baubles into editorial gold.
Bravman was working as an Yves Saint Laurent publicist when she launched her jewelry line in the fall of 2004. The line was a direct answer to demands for luxury fashion jewelry that could compliment designs featured in the best fashion editorials. What resulted was a fun yet fashion forward jewelry empire worn by all the Hollywood "It" girls.
Being the smart publicist she is, she made certain to design pieces that the most photographed celebs would wear. The list below is one I compiled of regular Rachel Leigh wearers.
This list could easily be interchanged with the top 5 most paparazzi followed femmes, no? Case in point.
I can't help but gush over the line myself. Owning a piece from each collection could really round out your jewelry needs for an entire wardrobe. Some pieces remain romantic and simple, while others dangerously border the line between gawdy and glitzy glam to result in statement pieces that evoke a certain status and importance like the chain cuff above. While others still are statement pieces on their own, such as the layered necklaces and the coctail ring shown.
Bravman's fall offerings have continuity in design with the appropriate on-trend alterations to make the line unique of fall 2008 (she has the perfect compliments to the American Classic look this fall). I can guarantee more photog opportunities for the Rachel Leigh pressbook. I can also guarantee the presense of this necklace (below) around my neck every day this season.

I like the necklace you'll be wearing, but a photo that's big enough to see its detail would be really helpful.
