PRESS RELEASE Men's Luxury Jewelry Designer Launches Fence and Fiero Collections - Home Accessories Coming Soon New York, NY -- May 30, 2006 -- In a market filled to capacity with conservative men's accessories, Catherine M. Zadeh continues to redefine masculine elegance with an urban edge. Best known for her sleek, geometric belt buckles and sculpted, satin-finish cuff links, Catherine has responded to the desire for her distinctive aesthetic by designing two full jewelry collections for men: Fence and Fiero. The Fence collection features slim bars of sterling silver banded with handcrafted 14kt gold for a look that is rhythmic and sharp. Fiero, from the Italian word for fierce, is a study in abstract flame; oxidized grooves in sterling silver create dark, textured patterns reminiscent of the element for which they are named. Both collections include cuff links, rings, bracelets chains and pendants. Catherine also recently introduced bracelets made from hand-carved, slim fibers of buffalo horn that are bound together by18kt white or yellow gold clasps. The fibers wear like leather, building a rugged patina and becoming supple with age. The collection also includes cuff links and stud sets available in both white and yellow gold. "I believe we are at the beginning of a revolution," says Catherine of men and their jewelry. "Traditional men have wanted nothing but standard cuff links, because they have equated jewelry with being feminine. But as celebrities set the example, more men come to understand that jewelry is not feminine, per se, and they realize that small accessories can set the man apart. They don't want jewelry that overpowers them - they want details that are modern and understated, masculine and chic. That is what I do." Home accessories by Catherine M. Zadeh are also taking shape. Firm in her belief that the home is a sanctuary, Catherine is delighted to announce that she is designing a line of home décor. Clean lines, tranquil colors and organic, natural forms are at the core of her process for this new venture. Much like her jewelry, her concepts for the home are contemporary and uncluttered. "Beauty is harmony," says Catherine. "Beauty is subtle, it is elegant. It doesn't shout." Catherine M. Zadeh lives and works in New York City, where her jewelry is made. Her collections have been featured in Departures, Town and Country, Maxim, Players, Men's Health and W Men's Portfolio. Her work was nominated "The Best Of The Best of 2006” in the Robb Report.
