Best color category of the JCK Jewelers Choice Award 2009

Monday, 6 April 2009 04:29 by koko


Parade Design proudly presents, Speira, the newest award-winning design from our highly esteemed bridal collection. Following the acclaim of Lyria, winner of the 2008 Best Bridal Design at the Jewelers Choice Awards, the rare look of Speira has captured the attention of design connoisseurs once again.
It is hardly a surprise that Speira was awarded 2009 Best Color Design of the JCK. This ring is a study of complimentary shapes and brilliant colors; the sharp lines of a princess-cut pink sapphire softened by the surrounding curves of circular diamonds. The vast versatility of Speira appeals to every woman: bold, modern, refined and traditional.
Choose between any combination of white gold, yellow gold, or platinum to highlight a diamond, sapphire, or topaz center stone. Every woman desires a unique ring to accentuate her own distinctive style and Speira perfectly fulfills this wish.

Over 1500 entries. Several hundred thousand votes. And viewed by millions across the country.

Finally, five finalists were selected and flown in to New York City for this once-in-a-lifetime chance to grace the cover of the Modern Bride’s December/January issue. The winner was announced on the CBS Early Show and quickly ushered to the eagerly awaited “Modern Bride of the Year” photo shoot. In preparation for this day, the editors of Modern Bride hand selected a collection of Parade jewelry to be worn by the winner at the 15 hour photo session.

Congratulations to Megan Robillard of Austin, Texas.She is a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and recently returned from a 15-month deployment in Baghdad. Her beauty, grace and courage epitomize the modern bride. To complement Megan’s style, Parade awarded her with the following nature-inspired jewelry from the popular Lyria® leaves collection.



When asked about this experience, Megan stated
“I had a lot of fun at the photo shoot trying on different pieces by Parade, your designs looked amazing with all of the dresses I tried on! I think your jewelry is absolutely beautiful and my necklace is the first thing I show off (after the magazine) when I tell anyone about the contest! You are an amazing designer and any girl would be lucky to be wearing any piece by Parade Designs on their wedding day.”
