  • Salinas, CA (1888PressRelease) August 06, 2013 - Augustina's, located in beautiful downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea on Ocean Avenue for more than 26 years, announced it will hold three trunk shows in August!

    Trunk Show Details:

    Aug. 10 - One-day-only trunk show with Konstantino. "When I think of style, I think of individuality," says designer, Konstantino Sioulas. "I design for the woman with unique style, an aura of distinction. Our Aura Collection is a tribute to that emanation of individual spirit . . . a true celebration of life." Inspired by the vibrant energy of the earth's natural wonders, Konstantino's Aura features iridescent, faceted rock crystals set against a backdrop of luminous mother of pearl, enveloped by intricately-engraved sterling silver.

    Konstantino's shift to dramatic stone-centric collections is a testament to the brand's unique focus on combining classic appeal with continuously-evolving design. "We make the old world new again," says Sioulas. "We take the ornate complexity of classic art and architecture and mix in the opulent grandeur of modern luxury. It's playful and sophisticated." Konstantino's jewelry is designed and handcrafted in Athens, Greece. Collections are created in sterling silver, 18k gold, semi-precious stones and pave diamonds, with iconic detail work and dual-tone motifs.

    Aug. 15-18 - Car Show Week trunk show featuring Comstock, Rhonda Faber Green and Oscar de la Renta.
    • Comstock Buckles. Silver is one of the world's most beautiful metals, a precious commodity that has always been valuable as an item for trade. The history of America is full of towns that grew and died as a result of silver fever. Silver is just as valuable today. A table set with sterling silver turns the most ordinary meal into an extraordinary experience. Silver jewelry has adorned our bodies for centuries and is still being created in the most beautiful and unusual shapes. And what sight is more breathtaking than that of a horse wearing a beautiful array of silver conchas, ear plates, corner plates, bridle buckles, halter plates, name plate and horn cap. This is one of the sheer joys of a parade, a sparkling, glittering silver-covered horse and rider. The rider might also have silver conchas on his shirt and chaps, a silver band on his hat, and silver trim on his gloves. But whether his outfit is very fancy or rather simple, he will wear, almost without exception, a silver buckle. Often that silver buckle will have been created by expert craftsmen of Comstock Heritage, America's oldest western silversmiths.
    • Comstock Heritage custom crafts exclusive golf buckles for Augustina's. Comstock Heritage is the oldest silversmith company in the country and James Stegmanwill make a personal appearance to custom design a buckle at Augustina's during the trunk show.

    • Award-winning jewelry designer Rhonda Faber Green, the creative force behind Rhonda Faber Green Designs, clearly loves hearts, fleur de lis, diamonds and delicate filigree. They appear throughout her creative designs. Inspired by nature and architecture, designing comes naturally to Rhonda. Born into a creative family, her father was an artist and a toy designer for Mattel. She is passionate about art. Today, she is known for her creative Filigreen and Diamondot collections. Rhonda's elegant, signature piece, the Filigreen Heart, has its own copyright. Her collections are sold in fine jewelry stores worldwide and have been featured in publications such as InStyle and Town & Country. Celebrities love Rhonda's designs. From Oscar's red carpet to many of today's popular television shows, you will see her designs showing up everywhere.
    • Oscar de la Renta. Perfectly polished! Augustina's will be the first to preview the fall collection of Oscar de la Renta furs on the West Coast. Oscar de la Renta fur experts will be making a personal appearance to showcase the new collection. Did you know they can custom make anything you want? What are you dreaming of?

    Aug. 23 - Trunk Show with Virgin, Saints and Angels.
    • VSA has a unique style that combines artesania and gothic elements from Mexican and religious iconography. The pieces are handmade in Mexico from some basic and not so basic techniques combining metals, paper, glass, resin and beads. The VSA style is unmistakable … and unforgettable. It has been seen on almost every age group and gender - from rock 'n' roll to country, hip-hop to punk, from Maria Shriver to Miley Cyrus. The common thread among all VSA wearers is that they want to make a statement. They are confident - inspired by fashion, art, beauty or symbolism. VSA has become a collectible with customers waiting in line for the next shipment of the newest colors and design.
