Fabulous Mythological Inspired Jewelry Collections From Fresh Talent, Juniper Designs

OMAHA, NE (PRWEB) August 21, 2006 –- With the continued success of the original keyhole necklaces, the Pandora’s Box Collection, jewelry designer Juniper (www.juniper-designs.net) introduces two equally captivating collections that are also inspired by the legends and romanticism of the Greco-Roman pantheon.

The Orion’s Lover Collection uses fabulous vintage belt buckles and pairs them with natural gemstones such as Peruvian Opals as well as freshwater pearls. Each piece in the collection is one-of-a-kind. “I love creating one-of-a-kind pieces,” said Juniper designer Jenifer Altman, “My customers love the fact that no one else will be wearing what they are – they are very discriminating.” Each piece in the collection is named for a place, event or character in the tale of Orion and how he was destined to forever appear in the heavens.

The Calliope Collection, named for the Greek muse of epic poetry, is handcrafted of vintage pen and calligrapher pens. “I have always been such an avid reader and I love to write – this seemed like such a natural collection to create,” Jenifer said. Each piece in the collection is named for the designer’s favorite authors. The collection is particularly appealing to boutiques and retailers because though each piece is one-of-a-kind due to the nib itself, it can be reproduced in great numbers. “I really dedicated this collection to not only my favorite writers, but also all of the women who dare put pen to paper.”

Prices for Juniper’s Orion’s Lover Collection range from $75 to $165; and between $55 and $65 for pieces in the Calliope Collection. Her work may be purchased both online (www.juniper-designs.net) and at other fine boutiques throughout the country and abroad.

With design inspirations ranging from ancient architecture to edgy rock stars, Juniper also offers a number of other wonderfully themed jewelry collections. The “Rock Goddess” Collection pays homage to the most fashion-forward female musicians; the “Majestic Goddess” Collection is inspired by great women rulers throughout history and the “Baby Jewels” Collection offers modern, yet sophisticated baubles for only the coolest kiddies.

Juniper also carries its love of design into the world of stationery, offering a number of stylish and edgy options including mommy cards, note cards and baby announcements.

Altman has a number of other exciting things in the works for Juniper and plans to continue to update and expand her trend-setting collections throughout the year.
