Halloween Party 2006

Ippie hosted a Halloween 2006 party on October 28th in New York City's Chelsea hotspot SOL. Many good friends and customers came dressed up for the party. We all had lots of fun, lots of laughs and DANCED ALL NIGHT LONG!! (I needed the exercise) The funniest costume by far was Lt. Dangle from Reno 911. See for yourself!

Ladies Who Launch LIVE Event

ippie jewelry was featured in the Ladies Who Launch’s LIVE event in New York City on Oct 19th 2006. Over 500 professional ladies and media such as the Oprah Magazine, Glamour Magazine, Elle, all attended this exciting event. The event started from 9 am and ended at 6pm. Event details included many successful women entrepreneurs sharing their struggles and their successes, which I personally found very inspirational. NY post reporter Paula Froelich, NBC Co-Anchor Perri Peltz all gave inspirational speeches giving us entrepreneurs hope. There was also a fashion show where ippie jewelry was featured on most of the models. I was so happy to see all of my jewelry being exhibited to everyone at the event. I got alot of positive reviews and feedback from everyone! I also donated 10% of my sales of the day to No Doubt, a non-profit organization that helps disadvantaged students to graduate from high school.

I had the opportunity to get a few pictures with the models and here there are.

It all started…

Although I have been working on my jewelry company since early 2005, my first line of sterling silver jewelry was officially launched in the August 2006 market week in New York, focusing on my first line called “The Shanghai Collection”.

My travels to China over the years inspired this collection. I was in Shanghai, where old meets new is evident throughout the city. Enormous skyscrapers standing behind ancient Chinese architectures, western influences mixing in with the 5000 year old culture, creating a sharp contrast that is both exciting and unique. Inspired by this observation, I designed the Shanghai collection by combining detailed traditional patterns and bold contemporary shapes. In order to further give the jewelry a subtle touch of modernity, I used high polish finish to add shine to each piece.
