Two Divas are better than one
Calling all Diva darlings! The high-style downtown boutique is opening a second Diva next week at Annapolis Harbour Center, right next door to Starbucks. It promises to have the same chic point of view as Diva downtown, a magnet for local and visiting fashionistas.
On a recent visit I skip all pleasantries such as, ‘Hello’ or ‘How are you?’ when I spot the earrings on the stunning sales gal—intricate, sparkling, colorful, gorgeous creations dangling from her earlobes. I want them. No, I need them. I certainly need to know more about them.
Created by Dori Csengeri, a Tel Aviv artist (her husband is Hungarian), the earrings are wearable works of art. Csengeri creatively weaves a variety of unusual stones and beads with colorful cords before mounting this menagerie of colors and textures onto leather which makes them extremely lightweight.
Shop owner and buyer Michele Deckman has an eye for the unique. She isn’t alone. These earrings have been featured in W, Women’s Wear Daily, Vogue and Elle. Even though they are pricey (up to $300 a pair) they have a strong following. When a new shipment arrives from Israel (one is due next week) they don’t last long.
“A Bohemian type can wear them. A conservative gal can wear them. They work with solids or prints. Prom queens and women 40 and up wear them. They are ageless and surpass trends,” says Deckman.
Oh yes, Diva is packed with lots of terrific fashions and fab accessories but on today’s visit it’s all about the earrings.
