Gold Star

BY SUSANNA HOMAN

In today's shopping spread, our Trend Alert tells you about diamond pinky rings made by local jewelry designer Lana Fertelmeister.

She held a party last week to give about 125 fashionistas a sneak preview of her latest line, Talitha, inspired by 1960s style icon Talitha Getty.

Here, a model wears the Sahara earrings in yellow, white and rose gold ($2,917), the Sahara necklace ($1,340) and the Sahara bracelet ($1,841).

The line will be carried at Neiman Marcus starting the first week in May, and online at Lana Jewelry at the end of the month.
