Perfect Gifts For Roitfeld Fans: Jewelry

Looking for that special sparkle for the holidays? The Roitfelds know fine jewelry and wear fabulous contemporary and vintage pieces constantly, below is a list of a few family favorites. Any of these designers are sure to shine as perfect gifts beneath the tree... Or against your skin at that glamorous party... I know you've been very, very good this year...

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
This is Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld's preferred watch.

Tom Binns 
Julia Restoin-Roitfeld collects the beautiful and original creations of Irish designer Tom Binns. I am in love with his clever and elegant necklaces.

Alexis Bittar
Julia likes the statement pieces designed by Alexis Bittar; the cuff pictured here from his "Miss Havisham" line was a gift from her boyfriend, Robert Konjic.

Lara Bohinc
One of Julia's favorite pieces in her jewelry collection is her Lara Bohinc bracelet, another gift from Robert Konjic to mark their first year together. Pictured above on her right wrist.

Cartier Love bracelet
The classic Cartier Love bracelet was a gift to Julia from her parents, Carine Roitfeld and Christian Restoin. Pictured above on her left wrist.

César compression pendant
Carine wears this striking gold pendant frequently, one of a limited series of "Compressions" made by César, a noted French Nouveau Réalisme sculptor, in 1971 for the jeweler Pascal Morabito. Good luck finding one of your own!

Dary's
One of Julia's shopping staples for vintage and modern accessories is the Parisian vintage jewelry store Dary's in Paris, an Ali Baba's cave lined with glistening jewels and stuffed with curious objects...

Elsa Peretti bottle necklace

Hermès collier du chien
I love how Julia pairs a sweet little dress with the Hermès collier du chien to tough it up. As an added gift: the pattern for the Hermès collier du chien so you can make your own.

Pamela Love
Julia is often photographed wearing jewelry by her close friend and talented artisan Pamela Love, particularly her talon cuff and her claw necklace; nor is Love's talent limited to the ladies, Robert Konjic also wears the claw necklace and Vladimir likes her silver bracelet.

Genevieve Jones
Another friend of Julia's that designs unique jewelry and handbags which she is seen wearing. Julia returned the favor by designing her logo.

Gaïa Repossi
Notice that both Julia and her friend Gaïa Repossi are wearing rings from the Czarina line, a filigree collection inspired by Russian iconography and crafted in four different golds by Repossi and Eugenie Niarchos. I rarely see Julia without hers.

So nice to have such talented friends!
I'm dying to get my hand on a piece by Tom Binns or Pamela Love. The love Bracelet is already in (blush blush) and I got my mind set on buying a Hermes collier du chien (I think they are overpriced...but They're so cool!)

Love the dress Julia is wearing in the love bracelet pic.

Bisous!
