A Feminine Fancy

The catalog for the new House of Leviev jewelry collection just landed on my desk, and I am impressed! … Photos of the new Leviev store in London show a shop that’s beautifully and unabashedly—but elegantly—girly. Done up in pink, peach, ivory, and beige, with soft plush couches, gracefully curving chairs, tinkling crystal chandeliers, Venetian-glass mirrors, curlicue molding, and tall vases of pink peonies, it’s a salon designed for the comfort of a woman, albeit clearly a woman of means. … Hats off to Lev, for acknowledging that beauty isn’t only about an 18-year-old airbrushed model or starlet, and that women are the real consumers of jewelry.
