Alex Soldier Trunk Show at Neiman Marcus

So, so, soooo in love with Russian jeweler Alex Soldier’s riveting snail rings, above. What do you think? Is one on every finger too much?

I can’t tell you how stunning these rings are, which start at $1,900 and go up to $22,000+.

I had the good fortune to meet the beautiful Maria Soldier, above, daughter of Alex, at Neiman Marcus in San Francisco today, who told me about her father’s fascination with the snail. It is his reminder to slow down and enjoy life, she told me.

Other objects of desire are Alex’s sparkling double-hinged cuffs, above, which showcase his patented technique for creating the look of diamond inlay. Aren’t they stunning?

I’m also wild for the intricate rose gold necklace that is complemented with peach freshwater pearls, and the matching rose gold drop earrings.

Alex is such a versatile and imaginative designer. I adore all of Alex’s jewelry, but most of all, the snail rings!
