What many people do not know about Bottega Veneta is that it was actually founded in 1966 by Laura and Vittorio Moltedo.  Bottega Veneta is usually known for their luxury leather items like shoes, belts and bags – however, they started designing jewelry not too long ago and ever since then, the jewelry line has done very, very well – especially the Turquoise gemstone pieces.

To me, I am not quite a turquoise fan, however, this beautiful sky-blue with greenish tint is something that is pretty popular nowadays, especially the Bottega Veneta brand.  The hardness of this particular stone is 6, which is pretty hard and the fact that they are resting in a nest of antiquated silver is something that you do not see all that often.

These earrings for available via Saks for about $540 … while expensive, it is definitely worth it if you really want them!

Bottega Veneta is by far one of the most talented designers for jewelry in the world.  Not only is this incredible designer one that did this beautiful ringing just above this post, but he also spreads his talent into handbags and even some cell phone accessories, which personally – I love!

Bottega Veneta is one of those designers that really think outside of the box.  Personally, I can not imagine wearing a ring like that without looking a little weird – it looks too big and the ring part looks too thin, but when I tired his beautiful ring on, it was like a dream!

So whenever you are looking for designer jewelry, you should definitely be researching some Bottega Veneta and get yourself an original design – it really is not that expensive!
