CHILD-INSPIRED DESIGNS



Geri Samuel has designed for world-renowned jewelers, including Cartier, Chanel and Breguet, and now, lucky for us, she has relocated to Southern California and launched her first collection of innovative designs, called Geri Jewelry, earlier this year.

ICE Accessories at South Coast Plaza exclusively sells Geri's modern jewelry collection in Orange County.

Geri's Kiss Me, Hug Me and Love Me Collections are inspired buy the love of her two daughters. The collection features kisses, a silhouette of hugs, and hearts in bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings. The line comes in 18k yellow, rose or white gold. And there's even baby sizes for children.

Each piece is designed with a variety of diamonds, mother of pearl, turquoise, lapis, tiger's eye, onyx and more. The latest collections: Romance in the Park, and Evenings feature over-sized cocktail rings with water lilies, peonies and plumes in swirls of pave diamonds, pink sapphires, mother of pearl and tiger's eye.

Geri Samuel is a French-born fourth-generation jeweler and granddaughter of Fred Samuel, owner of Fred's Joaillier in Paris.

Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday. ICE Accessories Level 2, at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa.
