The Noor Collection from Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry

Oversized cocktail rings encasing large black onyx gem inside lacy white-gold cages is the cornerstone of the Noor collection.

In a private suite at the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas on a floor dominated by the private suites of the Swiss luxury watch companies, Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry showcased the Noor collection, as part of Las Vegas Jewelry Week.

The Noor collection, unveiled for the event held during the first week of June, is a line of art-deco style jewels inspired by the sensual transparency of vintage lace, the play of light through its delicate pattern, and the intricate ornamentation of the mosaic and arabesque patterns in Byzantine architecture. The name of the collection is derived from the Arabic word that means “light.”

The jewelry highlights geometric motifs through the use of enamel, onyx, pearls and white agate with diamonds serving as the foundation of the collection. The materials are set in 18k white or yellow gold.

Trump said she began the design process for this collection in 2010 while traveling to Morocco, Turkey and Azerbaijan. Oversized cocktail rings encasing large black onyx gems inside lacy white-gold cages, where the stones are visible through the pattern, were a cornerstone of the design aesthetic.
