Julia

She designs dresses, rides horses and has homes in Manhattan and Millbrook. She loves city and country living, evening- and riding-gloves and is known to fox hunt before work. To mark a milestone anniversary, her husband wanted to present a jewel that encapsulated his wife, spoke of his devotion to her and reflected her love of fashion, art and the environment.

The jewel: DBC worked with a Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA)-award winning jeweler to design a custom, yellow-gold band created with ethically sourced materials and inspired by the fluid lines of American sculptor Richard Serra. A personalized inscription from husband to wife on the inside of the shank silently spoke volumes.
