Carolina Herrera de Baez has been working closely with her mother Carolina Herrera since 1997, first as the creative director of House of Herrera Fragrances and today as the image behind CH Carolina Herrera.
 
Now, the striking brunette launches the first ever CH Caroline Herrera jewelry collection, a 10 piece capsule line entitled ‘Falling Jasmine’ in collaboration with Argentinian artist Gillo Demo. The artfully simplistic designs are inspired by Demo’s paintings that use falling jasmine imagery. Jasmine is also a flower that has been close to Herrera de Baez both as a scent, as well as, an homage to her mother who often wore jasmine oil mixed with tuberose oil – the combination that became the brand’s first perfume. In fact, at the start of her career in fragrances, Herrera de Baez always used white flowers for their likeness to jasmine.
 
Made of gold-plated silver and enameled in white, each piece has a different design and can be worn solely in combination with one another in freeform - like falling jasmines on a tree. Five pairs of earrings, a chain necklace, a headband, a bracelet and a choker make up the poetic collection. A particular favorite is the headband with its delicately placed flowers that blend into the hair with simplicity.
