JCK 2012 Designer Spotlight: Omi Privé
There is color, and there is color…and when you marry Omi Gems’ fine colored stones with impeccably crafted jewelry designs, you have Omi Privé.
Niveet Nagpal, Omi Privé’s owner and designer, launched the company’s collection of handmade colored gemstone and diamond jewelry at JCK 2012. The collection features rare, vivid gems in timeless designs that range from red-carpet worthy to everyday wear. From a 30-carat unheated Ceylon sapphire ring to a 2.8-carat vivid, pink spinel in pavé, the collection offers jewels for a variety of tastes and budgets.
“Pieces should be engaging and entertaining, a colored gem that she constantly wants to look at. Above all, the styles women wear should represent their true spirit,” said Niveet Nagpal. “She knows what she wants and knows how to wear it.” Indeed.
