Imperial Dynasty Collection

Whether it is riding on the back of elephants in the jungles of Thailand, exploring the rich corridors of the Imperial Palace or flying through the streets of Bangkok on the back of a motorcycle --Jill Reno's exploration of the Far East is translated into the Fall 2006 Imperial Dynasty Collection. Each piece of jewelry captures the royal sense of adventure she experienced and presents it to the stylish woman who dons it. Reno sat for hours in awe of the ancient relics displayed at the Imperial Palaces and was inspired to sketch the beginnings of ornate necklaces, earrings and bracelets.

Reno was intrigued by the Far East's reverence of the dragon, a symbol of magnificence and regality. "Dragons have always been portrayed as passionate, beautiful, and mysterious creatures. They are desired and alluring." The Collection is highlighted by necklaces adorned with exquisite dragon clasps and earrings featuring majestic designs inspired from scenes, colors and the rich culture she experienced during her adventures in the Far East.

The Imperial Dynasty Collection embodies what the ancient Han and Ming Dynasties understood about the beauty and splendor of their world. The Collection infuses emeralds, rubies, sapphires, iolite, garnet, spectrolite, bronze, silver, and 24k Gold Vermeil. The splendor of each piece inspires a woman to reach beyond her borders.
