Shimansky, South Africa’s premier platinum and diamond jewellery specialist, has announced the launch of its most desirable product yet – the My Girl Perfume. To add to the elegance and allure of the perfume, one in every one hundred bottles will contain a dazzling 0.25ct My Girl diamond inside, valued at R7, 200.
Made from natural rose oil, the My Girl Perfume has a fresh, flowery top note with hints of melon and peach, followed by a rose and jasmine middle note, underlined by a woody, musky and light spicy base.
The Swiss made perfume is the result of advanced research and development creating a fragrance that captures the heart and essence of every woman. The My Girl Perfume is a freshly-floral scent packaged in an exquisitely-crafted pure white crystal bottle.
The light pink My Girl Perfume is in line with the romantic pink of the My Girl Diamond brand. The words “Forever in Love” are etched on the back of the bottle adding another dimension to this unique perfume. The overall effect is one of uncompromising style and chic.
The first one thousand My Girl Perfumes is a limited edition release and currently available exclusively from Shimansky stores, retailing for R795 for the 50ml bottle.
Shimansky, South Africa’s premier diamond and platinum jewellery specialist, launches the Enigma Collection made from exquisite natural gemstones in a kaleidoscope of colour.
The fashion-forward collection features single and multi-strand bracelets, necklaces and matching earrings made from beautifully-cut natural African and South American gemstones, such as Amethyst, Citrine, Tourmaline, Quartz, Moonstone and Tiger’s Eye to name but a few. The colour schemes range from summery whites, blues and turquoises for summer wear, to dark and light brown colours for autumn and elegant black for evening wear.
Commenting on the new collection, Shimansky owner Yair Shimansky said: “The new collection allows the modern woman to be enigmatic in her approach to life, as she can easily transform her look from day to night with minimum effort while still retaining her allure.”
The pieces are incredibly easy to wear and can be used to dress up a casual jeans-and-t-shirt look or as an elegant accessory to sophisticated evening wear. The collection is so versatile that you can easily wear a necklace as a stylish belt for a contemporary fashion statement. A special clasp that is available to purchase with the collection can be used to quickly turn a necklace into a choker or even a multi-strand bracelet or ankle bracelet.
The Enigma Collection is exclusive to Shimansky and prices start from R499. For more information about Shimansky and the Enigma Collection, please visit www.shimansky.com
