Moro Designer Jewelry: Silver Ring & Fish in Rose Gold

Miami, FL I spent my honeymoon in Miami and can still remember those huge Margaritas and the delicious Cuban cuisine at the city's nightspots...which never seem to close. Beautiful surroundings like these could only inspire artistry such as can be seen in these designer jewelry pieces by Miriam Blufstein Sredni who was born in Lima, Peru. Delicately intricate would be how I would describe the two pieces we wore to Bocca di Bacco's grand opening in a trendy Chelsea neighborhood in NYC last week.

Silver Ring with Rhodium & White Sapphire

Silver Ring with Rhodium and White Sapphire

Silver ring with Rhodium and White Sapphire. Can be used as a charm on a Rhodium Gold chain or leather or gold. Add a beautiful 18k Rhodium Gold chain (18" or 20") to compliment this beauty.

This Silver Ring with Rhodium and White Sapphire looks beautiful against black or dark evening attire. The White Sapphire is cut for brilliance and sparkle...just what you want for a night out. Shown here with a chain with a lobster claw clasp. Rhodium is a rare element in the Platinum group and is resistant to corrosion. In fact sterling silver is often plated with rhodium for tarnish resistance. White gold is often plated with rhodium to improve it's appearance.

The sparkle and intricate design of Moro's Fish in Rose Gold is just the right balance to compliment most any outfit. The diamonds and rubies give it just enough "glitter" to be understated yet elegant. Enameled eyes and a sweet smile add a bit of whimsy to this artistic creation. The color of the Rose Gold offers a unique shade of this precious metal. Shown here with an 18" Platinum Gold Chain, it and the diamonds add coolness to the entire jewelry ensemble.

Meet the Artist-Miriam Blufstein Sredni 
After finishing her undergraduate studies at Barry University, in 1990, Miriam Blufstein opened “Photos & Photos,” an art gallery-studio specializing in photography. Her portfolio spanned from private and commercial photography featured in several magazines including "Town and Country," to advertising campaigns for high-end clients including Bal Harbour shops. In 1993, she partnered with Dr. Frederic Brandt in the creation of a line of cosmetics. In 2000, she went back to complete her MFA at Barry University, while pursuing several photography projects. Her portrait of artist Juan Fernando Bastos (Los Angeles) was published in the magazine “Cosas,” in Bolivia, and a selection of works from this period illustrated the Italian Calendar, "L'Azienda Agricola Di Meo."


As a professional photographer who focuses both in landscape and portraiture, Miriam has created images that are subtle and stimulate the viewers’ imagination. Her ongoing quest for creative ideas and images inspired her to travel to the United States, South America, and Europe. In 2013, during her travels, she decided to create Moro Designs, a jewelry line in gold and silver that explores delicate shapes and forms. She also uses non-traditional materials, such as rhodium, and experiments with semiprecious stones and enamel to create unique custom-made jewelry.

Fashion Avenue Style - Bocca Di Bacco's New Chelsea Location


Bocca di Bacco 7th Ave. Grand Opening party.


Chelsea, NYC I'd have to say that Chelsea is one of my favorite NYC neighborhoods as we've been attending the Ice Theatre of NY's Benefit Gala at Chelsea Piers for a number of years. This upscale part of Manhattan has its own vibe and style so I was excited to attend the grand opening of Bocca di Bacco's (Mouth of Baccus - the Roman god of wine) new 7th Ave. location. Formerly known as IL Bastardo, this central location has now become the fourth Bocca Di Bacco restaurant in NYC.

I really like the cozy decor and rustic exposed brick of this spacious bar and Italian restaurant. We got the chance to sample some delicious hot hor dourves & appetizers being passed around at the party: Pizza Bites, fried rice balls will mozzarella & marinara sauce and savory stuffed mushrooms were some that we especially enjoyed. BDB is known for their feast-like weekend brunches now called IL Bastardo Brunch at Bocca di Bacco. Hailed also for their delicious selection of Italian wines and specialty cocktails, we enjoyed one of their concoctions called the "Butterfly" made with fig flavored Vodka and Champagne.

The new 7th Ave. location has a lot of room with three distinct areas for dining, cocktails and private parties. The Grand Opening event was very crowded and held all the way at the back of the restaurant. It has its own bar, DJ area and a middle section for dancing where I saw a few attendees really getting into the music!


Grand Opening party at BDB
There are a lot of comfortable spots to meet and eat at this 7th Ave. location so if you want to find a little corner to be alone, you can. Still it seats well over 400 guests. The decor is rustic and provincial giving it old world charm without being pretentious.

Chelsea Style
Chelsea is the apex of downtown urban chic but you can see many fashion styles represented at BDB. After all, it is located on Fashion Avenue! It is informal enough to make you feel at home but you would not feel out of place if you came dressed for cocktails. So what was I wearing to this Grand Opening event?

We would love to come back for the IL Bastardo Brunch at Bocca di Bacco or a sumptuous dinner but want to thank the restaurant and their staff for inviting and accommodating us at this amazing Grand Opening event.
