Heavy on Fashion Goes to The Alex Soldier Showroom

Hey everyone! I had a great opportunity to visit the The Alex Soldier Showroom in New York City. I became familiar with Alex Soldier at a private showcase in New York City. When I received a email from Maria Soldier, Executive Director of the Alex Soldier Showroom, to come and check out the Alex Soldier collection in New York City. I was honored.

Alex Soldier has a vast collection of jewelry and artwork that is exceptional in craftsmanship and quality. From unique luxury jewelry with exotic diamonds and precious stone designed for the rich and famous to awards for Royalty. Alex is a creator and a example of true artistry in the world of luxury.

Here is one of my favorite piece from Alex's collection. This starfish ring is full of precious stones including diamonds. The best thing some of Alex Soldiers' pieces is that are interchangeable. Each piece has a custom key for each interchangeable piece.  They can be a ring or a pin. I believe the company is also working on making these pieces into hair accessories. How cool is that?!

You Guys know that I am a huge fan of cuffs so when I saw this new piece from Alex, I almost lost it. I love the detail etching and the use of rose gold. I have to say that rose gold is great way to bring color to a outfit.

I love the detailing that Alex showcases in his work. I also like the fact that every piece is one of a kind and made in the US!

This diamond encrusted cuff was so bright, it was crazy. I love the Silver collection from Alex. It is smart, bold, and can be worn with just about anything. Whether you are going out to the mall or to a red carpet event, the silver collection is a versatile collection. I can not wait to my wrist on these fabulous cuffs! Luxury never looked so good.

Though I love all the precious stone rings, this one ring spoke to me. I love the marbleize look. It  have a ancient roman/greek feel. This is a great look for any season.

Alex very first sculpture made at the age of 14.  According to Maria, Alex used his mother's jewelry to make this work of art. Needless to say that Alex mom ,at the time, was not to happy with the use of her gems to be his artwork. 
I love this statue. It a great example how creative Alex Soldier was at such a young age.
