Sky in sequins: the passion for jewelry

I remember one of the most vivid impressions of my shopping in Israel was a shop of clothes and jewelry, all the walls and display cases where floor-to-ceiling sparkled with colored rhinestones, and that was free of crystals - were hand painted or pasted over pictures and cards in style Retro. With all the frills and showiness jewelry, which was sold in the store, she surprisingly did not look clumsy and rude.

Above the entrance to the store sported a signboard Michal Negrin .

I distinctly remember that when I wanted to buy the whole store, but alas: holiday budget is not rubber. Back in Moscow, I learned that the Russian jewelry MN did not carry, but in the West it is quite a popular brand. For example, the little things and clothes in a typical "post-Victorian" style of Michal Negrin   caskets are in the locker room and Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman, Britney Spears, Alicia Case even the British Queen Elizabeth II.

And even this is not surprising, but the fact that the original designer Michal Negrin   He engaged in their craft homemade, secret from the board of the Israeli kibbutz, where she was born and grew up, and sell their products in a street bench in the "street artists" Nahalat Binyamin in Tel Aviv.

On his next visit, I had already set aside a certain amount for "Baubles" with crystals and picture in decoupage technique from Michal Negrin, and wandering on the flagship store on the prestigious shopping street Sheinkin in Tel Aviv, has chosen a round medallion on a chain with decoupage a bouquet of roses and the edge of the sparkling red Swarovski crystals . It so happened that this decoration I put on her wedding day. And another pleasant coincidence was the fact that her friend, who had come to visit me at the wedding of Israel, brought me a gift anchovy - a symbol of family well-being - from interior collection Michal Negrin.

And just recently opened in Moscow the official brand showroom, where to buy lace and rhinestones from the MN can either wholesalers, or just fans of the brand, like me. Already I am looking forward to embezzlement.
