Whereas her parents may be the stuff of snickers and tabloids, there has always been something different about Ivanka Trump. She has the height, grace and beauty of a model (which she was, professionally, for a while) and the practical smarts of her real estate mogul father. It comes as no surprise, then, that her new jewelry line (created in a partnership with DTC sightholder Dynamic Diamond Corp.) is equal parts on-trend style and real-world wearability.

Jennifer and I recently attended the launch of the line and I was impressed by both the jewelry and the woman. The jewelry collection has an old-school glamour feel, with strong Deco inspirations, that combines drama with accessibility (elegant designs in diamonds combined with more affordable materials like crystal). Whereas many celebrities would make a grand (and late) entrance to such an event, and keep themselves surrounded by a posse of keepers and assorted hangers-on, Trump arrived nearly on time in a black and white cocktail dress and her own jewelry designs, and immediately began greeting guests with a smile and working the crowd solo.

Here are a few early images of the jewelry from the event. For more detailed pictures, click here, and stay tuned to our print magazines for a more in-depth discussion of the collection.
