now, where beauty and elegance is showing great
prominence.
If you are thinking of indulging in any of the distinctive
By Stolie range, it might be worth noting her very own
favourite piece – the choker necklace. You can hear the
love that she feels for the item in her voice as she reveals
its significance to her:
“It was quite difficult to create something beautiful,
elegant and at the same time different to other chokers.
However, we worked tirelessly to create this beautiful
design, with great care to every detail.”
Its signature geometric pattern draws on symbols of
ancient cultures. More comfortable than you would
expect from such an alluring piece, it looks from afar like
a strip of gold but is actually interlaced with colourless
diamonds that have been cut to match the complex
geometry.
The flexibility of the choker also makes it a great choice
to wear with an evening dress with plunging neckline or
even a futuristic jumpsuit, Stolie informs us.
Just before she rushes off to the next appointment in her
busy schedule, we asked her to extend any final piece of
advice for any blossoming designers looking to follow in
her footsteps:
“I am still fairly new to this myself but my best piece of
advice would be to stay patient on your way to success.”
Ilona Stolie’s own patience has clearly paid off well.
