Think bracelets just have to be around your wrist? Beautiful young Russian sisters Sonia and Katia Gaydamak have launched a line of unique and decadent fine jewelry, Prive Jewellery, which includes a hand bracelet collection. Instead of encircling your wrist, the hand bracelet is worn at palm level. The entire collection is inspired by the elegance of yesteryear — Cartier circa 1940, the Maharaja's jewelry and famed designer JAR — but the pieces have a modern purpose because these days, with everyone on their smart phones, our hands are in motion more than ever.

Katia is the designer of the duo. She studied International Politics at the American University of Paris before working with Daniel K and Jacob & Co. in New York City. Sonia manages the business aspect of the label and was educated at Columbia University in New York and GIA in Paris and New York.

The elegant bracelets are available in white gold, yellow gold, black rhodium and paved with the choice of rubies and white, brown or black diamonds, Prive Jewellery's hand bracelets are available in three models: Koral, Karioka and Karess and retail between $6,000 and $22,000. Prive Jewellery is available for purchase at Roseark in Los Angeles and at the on-trend French boutique, Montaigne Market.
