Luxury, heritage, and artistry collide in the Alexis Bittar & The St. Regis New York collaboration, celebrating the landmark hotel’s 120th anniversary with a bespoke jewelry collection. Inspired by the elegance of Caroline Astor, the socialite and patroness of The St. Regis, the limited-edition collection features statement earrings, necklaces, and a brooch, all paying homage to the Gilded Age glamour that defined her legacy.
Each piece incorporates Bittar’s signature hand-carved Lucite flowers, hand-painted in luminous pink hues inspired by the American Beauty Rose -- Astor’s favorite bloom. The designs are adorned with 14K gold accents, shimmering crystals, and timeless pearls, a nod to the opulence of her legendary Midnight Suppers.
'This collection is a heartfelt tribute to The St. Regis New York and its rich history,' said Alexis Bittar. Available now at alexisbittar.com, collectors are invited to own a piece of New York’s most iconic luxury heritage.
