Arizona Designer’s Jewelry to Grace Gift Baskets at Venice Film Festival
PHOENIX (August 20, 2007) -- Scottsdale/Phoenix designer Sharon Sullivan’s distinctive jewelry will be among the gifts presented to celebrities at this year’s Venice Film Festival in Italy.
Sullivan’s oversized clear quartz bracelets will be included in the gift baskets given to stars attending the renowned film festival, which runs from Aug. 29 to Sept. 8 in Venice, Italy. Among the stars expected to attend the festival are Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Redgrave, Charlize Theron, Owen Wilson, Angelica Houston, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Johnny Depp.
The Venice Film Festival is considered among the world’s most prestigious.
"In some ways, when you are invited to the Venice Film Festival, you know you have truly 'arrived',” said Kerry Rock, executive producer of the Academy Award-winning film Capote. “Cannes can be a market as well as a festival, but Venice is for true artistes."
Sullivan’s bracelet, part of her On the Rocks collection of jewelry, is elegant and bold with oversized chunks of sparkling clear quartz crystal and Sterling silver. The heavy twisted design of the toggle complements the silver of the bracelet and is her own design. Her full line is created from semi-precious stones found throughout the world and she works mostly in Sterling silver. She recently expanded her line to include toggles, pendants, belt buckles and earrings that she designed in wax and then cast in Sterling silver.
She also is the designer of the much-acclaimed Stepping Stone Recovery Bracelet, which benefits Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.
