Birks introduces new designer Esty


Birks welcomes Esty as a new exclusive designer for Birks. The pieces are handcrafted in her studio on the French Riviera. The designs are fresh, fluid pieces that represent marine life and stylized nature. The collection will be available across the country in the next coming weeks. "Discovering the living organisms that can be found in water is a major source of inspiration," noted Esty of her influences behind the collection. "Often, the forms I reproduce come to me in a dream, inspired by things that I may have seen in the sea or in a field." Prices range from $215 for a wide band ring in sterling silver to $1,175 for cuff bracelet in sterling silver and 18k yellow gold.
