FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York City,
May 11, 2017
/PRNewswire/
Jan Leslie, a niche accessories brand known for merging sophistication and conviviality, is proud to announce its participation in the 2017 COUTURE Show, where new cufflinks will be premiered.
“In designing my collection I use technical skills to create jewelry that is multi-sensory,” noted founder and designer Jan Leslie. “They evoke one to ‘take a second look’ as there is movement as well as color which inspires an emotion and the pieces are no longer one dimensional objects.”
The new men’s pieces, exquisitely handcrafted in 925 Sterling Silver, reflect Jan’s signature aesthetic, a juxtaposition of seriousness and lightness. This whimsical debonair motif is perhaps best exemplified by the show-stopping Retro Television Set cufflinks, one of several new additions to Jan’s collection. The sterling silver television has a natural wood inlay and features mother of pearl, green malachite, onyx, red carnelian, and lapis color bars. It is a truly elegant accessory that also invokes an air of playful nostalgia, and the level of detail in the design demands far more than a cursory glance.
Jan Leslie is a leader in global luxury fashion and continues to introduce new collections to prominent retailers and press outlets at exclusive designer fine jewelry events worldwide, including this year’s Pitti shows in Italy and the 2017 COUTURE Show.

About Jan Leslie
Best known for vibrant hand-painted enamels and stunning semi-precious stone collections, Jan Leslie continually rejuvenates and redefines menswear, no matter the season. A fashion visionary, designer and founder Jan Leslie magically reinterprets the world around her, creating completely new and beautiful forms. The hand-painted enamel pieces in particular, oftentimes likened to paintings, represent the essence of the designer herself: artful, unique and inspired.
Now, after over 20 years in the industry, Jan Leslie features a diverse collection of men's accessories sold exclusively in a handful of select luxury stores around the globe. Artisanal methods are used to produce unique works of quality and understated elegance. The creative process begins with the study of the actual subject--insect, animal or otherwise. Next a wax prototype is sculpted then cast in sterling silver and polished smooth. The creation is then individualized through a technique of meticulously hand painting layers of enamel, creating the desired blend of color and luminescence. The overall process transforms a simple statement into a commissioned piece of art. Jan Leslie cufflinks are a thrill to wear and a passion to collect.
