My mouth literally dropped open when I first saw the amazing jewelry designs of Hassan Bounkit. I am totally nuts for his designs and have my heart set on the earrings in the first picture in this post. Here is a bit of background....
Hassan Bounkit, a native of Morocco, began his career studying fashion design in Florence, Italy. After finishing his studies, he worked for couture houses Ferragamo and Marella Ferrera. In 1989, he moved to New York and worked for Nicole Miller and Arnold Scaasi, among others.
Always drawn to jewelry, Bounkit launched his own extensive line in 2006. Both elegant and exotic with vibrant color combinations and unusual settings, Hassan attributes his style to his Mediterranean background, ancient Moroccan design and a deep love of nature. He deftly mixes sunset hues with woods, turquoise with jeweled rondells, and crystal beads with organically cut colored stones. He creates three complete collections each year in his New York City atelier where the jewelry is made to his specifications and all by hand.
The colors in his designs are beyond stunning and would be gorgeous in any setting. Whether it be day or night, who wouldn't want to show off these gorgeous baubles! Check out these treasures at bounkit.com
