MONTEREY, Calif. - Sept. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- We are pleased to announce that ADORA by Simona, in association with The Artisan Group®, will participate in an invitation-only luxury celebrity gift lounge hosted by GBK Productions on September 20-21, 2013 at an exclusive location in Hollywood, California, in honor of the The 2013 Primetime Emmys Nominees and Presenters.

“I am delighted to be a part of this year’s EMMY Awards. It is truly a thrill to present my artwork this way and I wish to thank The Artisan Group® for making this possible!” said Simona N. Counts, ADORA’s owner/designer. Our exclusive “Atlantis” Necklace and several male leather wrap bracelets will be prominently featured on display at The Artisan Group's exhibit. Actors, actresses, celebrity managers and members of the press will have an opportunity to try on the showcase pieces supplied by ADORA by Simona, and will take home in their swag bag the “En Vogue” earrings designed exclusively for this event. This event will also be attended by nearly fifty press and media outlets.

For the gift lounge display piece, Simona created a stunning necklace featuring two strands of lustrous organic pearls and a flawlessly faceted mystic topaz pendant set in sterling silver. The pendant can easily be removed from the clasp, making it possible to wear this versatile necklace multiple ways. By removing the pendant, the necklace becomes a simple, classy two-strands of pearls, which can be worn either with the clasp asymmetrically on one side, or with it concealed in the back.

For the gifting, ADORA by Simona was asked to create 100 pairs of earrings. Each pair was meticulously handcrafted, and staying true to the designer’s “one-of-a-kind” motto, they feature a variety of gemstones, pearls and crystals in different shapes and colors, with no two pairs alike.
