YLANG23.COM DEBUTS BRIDAL DEPARTMENT, FEATURING CATHY WATERMAN
Ylang23.com announces "Ylang 23 Bridal", a new Bridal Department within their website, dedicated to showcasing its vast collections of engagement rings, bands, bride's and bridesmaid's jewelry from its stable of designers. Ylang23.com Bridal features Cathy Waterman, who has partnered with Ylang 23 for 14 years in matters of the heart, particularly those of brides.
Quotes Ylang 23 Owner Joanne Teichman: "We are excited about this new Bridal Department which makes it easy to shop the latest in alternative engagement and band designs. Additionally, as 'traditional' is not in our DNA, we have suggestions on bridal jewelry which go beyond the ordinary and also unusual gifts for the wedding party. It is a privilege to be part of the wedding process, and at the same time, a roller coaster of a ride."
Ylang 23 debuted Cathy Waterman's "Love of My Life" Album of Rings online in Spring 2009 and was the first to introduce Cathy Waterman's "Wild Love" Collection in Fall 2010. "Wild Love" is centered around rustic diamonds in pale to intense hues--bordering on fireworks -- and Cathy Waterman’s iconic and intricate settings which have extensive hand cutout work, all in dramatic blackened platinum and 22 karat gold settings. The newest additions to the collection of Cathy Waterman engagement rings are a recent generation featuring one of a kind stones carefully handpicked by the designer and an explosion of new mountings. Waterman garnered national attention as having made the very unusual rustic diamond engagement ring given by Stephen Moyer to Oscar winner Anna Pacquin.
Ylang 23 also carries a wide and deep collection of rustic diamonds from Todd Reed who introduced raw and uncut diamonds to contemporary jewelry in 1992 and who today is regarded as the leading expert in rough diamonds. Each piece is created from start to finish in his design studio in Boulder, Colorado using high carat recycled gold. While rustic rings are a popular alternative , Ylang 23 has a deep selection of rose cut white diamonds and alternative settings for brilliant cuts, including one of a kind rings from Italian designer Lucifer vir Honestus set in rose gold.
Ylang 23 was opened in 1985 by Joanne & Charles Teichman at Galleria Dallas and launched what has become their true flagship, Ylang23.com, in 2002. A leader in the luxe designer jewelry market , Ylang 23 has followed the conversation about designer jewelry via Facebook, Twitter, Joanne's Eye (Blog), Tumblr, and enjoys being taken on vacation via the Ylang 23 iPad and iPhone Apps. Designers also include Irene Neuwirth, Jennifer Meyer, Paul Morelli, Ten Thousand Things, Sydney Evan, Gurhan, Heather Moore, Catherine Michiels, Emily Armenta, Pippa Small, Nak Armstrong and others, most of which are represented in Ylang 23 Bridal.
