    Magnificent and very rare BRACELET cuff, signed Maïa N (Maya NAKHLE), star jewelry, gilded metal, GRIPOIX glass cabochons, width 6 cm, diameter 6 cm and 7 cm, adjustable, weight 90 g, good condition, slight signs of wear. Celebrities have become real trendsetters. Hardly a season goes by without them discovering and adulating a new brand, a new bag, a new pair of shoes… To the delight of the creators who then enjoy advertising. Since 2002 it is the turn of Maïa N (Maya NAKHLE). Maïa N is the new leather goods label that is rising, rising, rising… And guess thanks to whom? Our friends the stars, of course! Actresses and singers have set their sights on the luxurious creations of the Lebanese-Polish Maya NAKHLE. The latter develops marvelous pockets in exotic skins like that of Mary Kate Olsen (blue) or the Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr (purple). But Maïa does not stop there. With his fine diploma from the renowned Saint Martins School in London and the Chambre Syndicale in Paris, his concept goes further. Associated with her sister Joanna, who has a degree in gemology, she disperses semi-precious stones and crystals on her leather goods. Result: bags that look like little jewels that perfectly complete the red carpet outfits of celebrities like Rania de Jordan or Carla Bruni. The brand's bags have been worn by stars such as the Olsen sisters, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Jessica Alba, Anna Paquin, Nikki Read, Hilary Duff, Blake Lively, Brittany Snow and Olivia Wilde. Among Maya N's stalwarts are Sheikha Moza and Sheikha Maiassa of Qatar, but also some of the most prominent personalities in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon , as well as in Spain, France, Monaco, the United Kingdom, Italy and the United States, in addition to a number of Russian and Chinese clients. A success that earned the Maïa N. collection an article in 60, the magazine dedicated to the most prestigious luxury brands at the Cannes Film Festival, alongside, among others, jewelers Cartier, Leviev, Boucheron, Bulgari (Enigma ) and Van Cleef, diamond dealers...
