Podium 1 - Paris. The Moscow-based Podium Fashion Groupl is involved in numerous fashion ventures, but what caught our eye is the Podium 1 jewelry store in Paris (at 334, rue St. -Honore, Paris 1er, right across from Colette). The tiny shop (50 square metres) oozes glamour and old money, patina and luxury. The rich feel is created through textured wallpaper, dark antique or aged wood furnishings, curved vitrines, thick-glass cabinets with hand-tooled iron pulls, plus a massive armoire standing on curled legs and sporting Gothic arches. The slightly mad and eccentric, yet visually cohesive neogothic interior and furnishings are by Moscow-based Artbureau I/1 (“one over one”) whose eight principals create both private and commercial interiors and architecture.

Mr. Luxury Jewelry Collection Inspired by Alice in Wonderland. The Brazilian brand H.Stern in partnership with Disney has released an extraordinary luxury collection of unusual ring inspired by “Alice in Wonderland” of Tim Burton. Strange roses, colorful mushrooms, bird from beautiful garden, the Cheshire Cat, Jabberwocky and other wonders of the world through the mirror served as the inspiration for designers brand. The collection consists of five rings, they are all made of gold, some items are covered with colored enamel and adorned with diamonds.

All products are made under the order, and, like in the movie everything is reduced or increased to gigantic proportions, and jewelry can be ordered two sizes – “human dimension” and “extraordinary dimension” that are enormous sculptures. The ring is made of hundreds of gold leaves, which form a tree, trimmed in the form of birds.

Its price is $7.450. The ring is also made of gold, and a wide smile of Cheshire cat treated with a special mix and, as in the film, glows in the dark.
