Faezeh Rastin's distinctive jewelry designs embody a lifelong exploration of painting, poetry, people and nature-and the fusion and contrast of two very different cultures.

Her early artworks were influenced by Persian art, with its delicate, mystical garden of motifs and the rich tones of an ancient palette. Later on, her fascination with the bold energy and expressiveness of Western art has evolved her work to a new dimension.

In her unique jewelry collection, the artist has blended years of experience with color, texture and form with a deep appreciation for wearable art and a fascination with the stunning array of colors found among natural stones.

And just as Faezeh Rastin is expanding the realm of her artistic expression, she believes the style-conscious woman of today is pushing the boundaries of fashion and beauty. "The modern woman's style is an expression of her unique self-the sophistication of her passion, intellect, and personal power," says Rastin, "I am delighted to be able to express my creative energy and aesthetic vision in a way that makes a woman feel ornamented and expressive."
