Sanamama Founder Gabi Torres Works With a Medium to Create Intention-Filled Jewelry Loved by Taylor Swift

Spiritual and sparkly! Jewelry designer Gabi Torres has created pieces loved by Taylor Swift, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Madelyn Cline, and it’s not just because they shimmer in every light. The rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and ankles from her brand, Sanamama, double as intention-setting tools thanks to Torres’ process of sourcing rare gemstones from around the world before handcrafting each item in 18k and 14k gold. The Florida native, who began her career as an art therapist, used her healing background to create something that could be worn, and experienced, daily.

Ritchie Torres calls for probe into trades ahead of March Iran news

Best weird and wonderful Easter eggs to delight this year, from Torres to Hotel Chocolat

You might have to call in for some reinforcements to tackle Hotel Chocolat’s 1kg monster, but what you give away in decadent sweetness, you’ll reap back in brownie points from friends and family. This egg is the same size as an ostrich egg, which is the largest egg laid in the world. The extra-thick shell is split in two, with one half made with 40 per cent milk chocolate and studded with cookie bits before being draped in white chocolate. The other half is crafted with 50 per cent milk chocolate, packed with pieces of pecan, praline and cookies. If that sounds like a meal in itself, loosen your belt buckle, because Hotel Chocolat is far from finished. Inside, you’ll find a selection of the company’s patisserie-inspired chocolates. In short, utterly, unapologetically outrageous. Source link
