Designer Alexis Bittar comes to Charlotte

Jewelry designer Alexis Bittar is coming to Maddi's Gallery November 9th from 1 to 4:30 p.m. to unveil his holiday collection.

You'd recognize Bittar's work from the pages of Lucky, W, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle (his Lucite bangles have been a major hit in the fall fashion spreads this year). His pieces are classic with a refreshing coupling of sleek materials—fresh water coin pearls on a gold vermeil link chain or brandy quartz with peridot. Plus, the jewelry isn't over-the-top expensive. A set of earrings from his elements collection, for example, start at about $75, a sweet deal considering how popular his jewelry is. Stop by the Dilworth location (1530 East Blvd., 704-332-0007) on the 9th and I bet you'll leave with one of his pieces.
