After manufacturing fine jewelry for more than 45 years, family-run brand Estenza embarked on a rebranding effort a little over a year ago and set out to expand its business in the United States.
In September, the brand released its new Pyramid collection. Inspired by geometric designs, the line features sugarloaf-shaped gemstones paired with diamond pavé and intricate metalwork in either 14- or 18-karat gold.
“The designs are minimalist to showcase the gemstones and are designed for customers looking for vintage-inspired pieces,” said designer Priyanka Kedia.
Kedia also noted that they will add stud earrings to the line before the holiday season, and will continue expanding the collection in 2015.
