The picture above celebrates two very important subjects: foreign affairs and fashion. First Lady Michelle Obama impressed once again with a shimmery printed ensemble and earrings to match from the Phillips Frankel Collection on the First Couple’s sojourn to meet with Britain’s Royal Couple as well as Prince William and the new Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton. The costly pair of jewels Mrs. Obama donned are constructed with amazonite gemstones, 14-karat gold, and 206 rubies that make up each earring’s stunning frame and will run about $2,500 a set.

Since 1993 Phillips Frankel has been catering to sophisticated clientele on a strict referral only basis and chose New York City as the location for its only showroom which opened in 2007.  It serves as a base where exclusive patron may dabble and prance about in select designs before dishing out the dollars.
