Designer Jewelry Showcase 2012 CoverFor the second year in a row, Vickie Riggs Designs has been chosen to be featured on the cover the Designer Jewelry Showcase.

This is such an honor, and I’m thrilled to be represented along with so many other truly talented designers.” —Vickie Riggs

The featured cover piece, Keshi Boa Necklace is made with extraordinarily rare, large and lustrous Keshi Pearls wrapping around the neck like a feathered boa. An attachable centerpiece features the signature Keshi Pearl on 18K Pink Gold with five White Gold Diamond-studded chains. The piece is designed so that the centerpiece can be worn in the front or back and cascading chain extensions can also be added for evening drama.

Additional designs by Vickie can be seen on Pages 42 and 43 of the print directory as well as in the online DJS Designer Index.

The prestigious Designer Jewelry Showcase is a print and online annual resource directory of contemporary jewelry designers. DJS offers gallery owners a resource for selecting designers that would be a perfect fit — reflecting that particular gallery’s unique attributes for contemporary, wearable, hand-crafted work. The annual book is sent at no charge to a qualified list of jewelry stores, craft galleries, museum stores and boutiques that carry handmade jewelry.
