Nina Naustdal Fine Jewellery

"

Over the past few days, the capital  has been a nightmare, what with having to dress down, negotiate snow and ice, and then the slush, in wellington boots. YUCK.

  

So it was a real pleasure to get dressed up and walk the red carpet for London based, Norwegian fashion designer Nina Naustdal fine jewellery launch party, at her couture flagship store,176 Walton Street, SW3 2JL.

Nina has gained credibility with the international who's who, since the opening of her SW3 boutique, 1 year ago.

In early 2011, the store only housed NN spectacular couture crystal encrusted, colourful dresses, in the finest silk satin and by 2012, NN had introduced her equally gorgeous ready to wear Gold label line, in intricate printed silk fabrics, that were an alternative offer to the crystal embellishments, and the Gold has expand her customer base further and sits comfortably next to her couture.

Tonight, her store manager Sanaz Jebelli said, "this is yet another showcase of Ms Naustdal design capabilities, with the launch of her exquisite jewellery collection"
