Guild International USA returned to 2023 COUTURE with
the second year of the Platinum Spotlight Program.
The organization behind the world's most precious metal
welcomed 10 new yellow gold-focused COUTURE designers
to the program, all of whom created a piece in platinum.
In addition, PGI USA worked with 6 'alumni' from last year's
program to create a platinum capsule collection. All of the new
designs debuted at COUTURE in the participating designers'
salons and villas.
The designers selected for the 2023 program were Jacquie
Aiche, Beck, Lizzie Mandler, ONDYN, Anna Maccieri Rossi, Jade
Ruzzo, Sorellina, Ten Thousand Things, Vram, and Emily P Wheeler.
The 2023 COUTURE Platinum Spotlight Alumni were Harwell
Godfrey, Retrouvai, Spinelli Kilcollin, Stephen Webster, Suzanne
Kalan, and Walters Faith.
Within the esteemed group, some designers chose to
recreate their most well-known pieces, while others took the
opportunity to create brand new designs. The platinum pieces
ranged from statement necklaces to cocktail rings to red
carpet-worthy earrings.
