Actually, this is a week late so the cat’s kind of out of the bag. In February I attended the gallery party for Rhea Kulcsar’s jewelry line. This was another such event featuring Rhea and some new pieces, but this time Rhea teamed up with emerging designer Amanda Perna and her new Resort/Spring 2013 line of the House of Perna. Held at the members-only club, Parlor, the party had an air of exclusivity about it, but was a great opportunity to view more of Rhea’s work, and to meet Amanda Perna.

I’ve written about Rhea’s line here — locally-sourced, her pieces carry that edgy New York feel, and are custom-made to make a bold statement for each individual. You can see all of and even purchase her fabulous pieces here.

A word (or eight) about the House of Perna’s Resort/Spring 2013 line: fun, summertime chic, and has that unmistakable flavor of South Florida. You can see the full line here.

A big thank you to Rhea Kulcsar for the invite!
