The garden of bright tulips in New York: the Tiny Tulip collection by Yvone Christa

by Cristina Rizza
Combine two of the things most loved by women: flowers and precious stones; this is the very successful experiment by the brand Yvone Christa, for the Tiny Tulip collection. A mix of the New York metropolitan style and the infinite delicacy of the flowers that makes this collection suitable even for the youngest. Precious hand-cut stones signed by New York designers embellish tiny earrings, pendants, rings, necklaces.


The history and tradition of Yvone Christa starts from Sweden and ends in New York through Italy: the two designers Yvone Clamf and Christina Söderström are both Swedish, they met in Rome where they studied design and where they learned the ancient Venetian art of filigree, they then moved to Los Angeles to continue studying and start creating their first homemade jewelry, hence the birth of the brand Yvone Christacon the fusion of their two names and surnames. During the 1991 arrive their success, when a Hollywood screenwriter chooses their collection for the protagonists of “Beverly Hills-90210” and “Melrose Place”. From here the road is moving to New York and an all-ascending road.The sensitivity and dexterity of working 925 silver, burnished or wet in 22Kt gold, are the characteristics that make the Yvone Christa jewelry icons. All the jewels are decorated with semi-precious stones and pearls, carefully chosen to inspire the jewel of the past. The great intuition was the “modernization” of the forms and the continuous research of an infinity of very original materials that embellish the jewel. From pearls to jades. From quartz to jaspers. To citrines, amethysts, tiger eyes, lapis, turquoises, corals, amazonites, carnelians, topazes, onyxes, jays and zircons. Until the very recent ones in bone and water lemuria. Yvone Christa presents three collections a year, which are always inspired by nature, as in the latter, inspired by the flowers. 

Today, the jewels of these designers are shown off by Jennifer Aniston, Madonna, Cindy Crawford, Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz, Princess Victoria of Sweden, Kate Bosworth, Christie Brinkley, Kate Moss, Katherine Zeta-Jones, Heidi Klum.
