Gili Green Chrysoprase Chalcedony

I always strive to bring the unique look and feel of Bali into each new collection I create. When designing for this spring, I decided to go with bold colors and designs that would be classic statement pieces. I was immediately drawn to the color green because everything in Bali is so lush. I have a great amount of respect for the beauty of nature and all of its elements.

Green chrysoprase chalcedony was the perfect stone to represent this for Anna Beck's spring line. Green is life--it signifies growth, renewal, health, and environment. Green is also a restful color with some of the same calming attributes of blue.

Green is everywhere you look in Bali. These are some of the places and things that inspired this line.

2012 New York Accessorie Circuit

In early January, a few of us from Anna Beck made our way to the New York Accessorie Circuit. Trade shows give us an opportunity to preview our new collections for upcoming seasons. We also love getting to connect with store owners and buyers from all over the country, old and new.  I was so happy to see that all three collections were a hit.  Here's a glimpse of the show!

Color seemed to be the big trend, making the new Gili Green Chrysoprase very popular.

The subtle and unique design of the Flores Turkish Chalcedony line appealed to those looking for something soft and feminine.

The Bali Animal Collection also drew people in, as each person can relate and connect to the traits the animals represent.
