The idea behind Laurence Bruyninckx’s bridal jewelry is to keep customers coming back for years to come.
The Antwerp-based newcomer is the creator of LX, a line of bridal jewelry divided into four collections: Embrace, Enthrall, Entwine and Enrapture.
All inspired by the joining of two people, the rings evolve as a couple’s relationship grows over time. Customers can start with a simple solitaire and build upon it, adding diamond-set ring guards and pavé eternity bands to mark life’s milestones, such as the birth of children or significant anniversaries.
All of the rings designed by Bruyninckx (pronounced BROO-nicks) are available in platinum as well as 18-karat rose, white or yellow gold.
The diamonds are, at minimum, F or G color, VS2 clarity, and the collection is distributed by Chicago-based IGC Brand Services, a division of Belgian diamond company IGC Group, a De Beers sightholder. IGC Brand Services donates a portion of all sales to Washington-based Global Giving, an organization that funds high-impact social and environmental programs in the developing world.
For more information, visit Bruyninckx’s website, LX-Antwerp.com, or contact Helen Shelton at Finn Partners, helen.shelton@finnpartners.com or 212-593-6443.
