When First Lady Michelle Obama hosted her first official State Dinner at the White House on November 24, 2009, she wore Bochic earrings. The Bochic rose cut, amber, and tourmaline pear shaped earrings complimented her gown and enhanced her bare neckline.
The First Lady's earrings integrated both Eastern and Western design elements The orange hue of the natural amber and the rose color of the rubellite tourmaline are traditional Indian colors. Rose cut diamonds created a vintage feel.
Designers David Joseph and Miriam Salat strive to capture the essence of the Bochic woman - impeccable taste and passion for luxury. It's about the embodiment of independent spirit, confidence, style, adventure and zest for life.
Bochic is inspired by the designers' passion for travel and their experiences in the world's most exotic locales. With influences from India, Turkey, Morocco and Spain, you might say travel is their muse. The Bochic designs show enduring respect for the variety and richness of the global cultural heritage.
Miriam Salat's background in hand-crafted fashion jewelry complements David Joseph's expertise in classical European jewelry. The union creates a look that is fresh and stylish, yet enduring and distinctive.
