Jewelry from American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) Spectrum Awards Photo Shoot Lets Tichina Arnold Express Herself
One-time Broadway performer and star of the new TV show «The Neighborhood,» Tichina Arnold, has found her material match in the jewelry selections from this year's American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) Spectrum Awards photo shoot. As reported by PR Newswire, “from a door knocker-like Chrysoberyl pendant accented with Paraiba and canary Tourmalines and tsavorite Garnet from Erica Courtney to a gumball-size fancy-cut Citrine two-finger ring by Paul Klecka for Somewhere in the Rainbow to a bracelet of Muzo-mined cabochon-cut Emeralds as wide and dazzling as Arnold's smile, each one-of-a-kind piece the actress and singer put on enhanced her star power in a manner that would have overwhelmed most.”“Tichina has an incredibly glowing personality that held up to the jewelry—it added to her persona instead of taking away from it,” stated Douglas K. Hucker, CEO of AGTA, who was present during her photo shoot with the 2018 winning pieces.A Queens native and a self-professed jewelry lover with a penchant for pieces as big as some of the characters she portrays, Arnold fell hard for the «Phoenix Rising» necklace, a vibrant piece featuring mandarin Garnet, Paraiba and other color Tourmalines, Sapphires, fire Opals, Rubies, tsavorite Garnet, and Turquoise made by Ricardo Basta for E. Eichberg that took the «Best Use of Color» prize. «I felt like Wonder Woman when I put it on,» gushed the actress talking about the necklace.Some of the strong female characters portrayed by Arnold on TV wear equally big—albeit less colorful—silhouettes. Whether it was Rochelle in «Everybody Hates Chris,» who would wear bold gold button earrings and oversize white Pearls to drive home her authoritative presence in that TV family, or Tina, Arnold's newest character in «The Neighborhood,» a wife in a middle-class family who wears a cross necklace in every episode, jewellery has played an important role in bringing out the essence of Arnold’s screen characters. Hoop earrings are another familiar sight on this new set, though the style also has a place in Arnold's off-screen life. «My go-to look for jewelry is my hoop earrings—and the bigger the better,» she explains during a phone call from the set of another project.PR Newswire states that during the AGTA shoot, nearly all of the jewels and their makers were new to Arnold, save for the handiwork of Erica Courtney, maker of the oversize pendant necklace set with a variety of verdant gems—a piece that took an Honorable Mention recognition.As per the release, Arnold uses jewelry to complete outfits and play up moods. Arnold's favorite colored stone is Amethyst, but she also loves Citrine and Emeralds. The color she avoids is Pink, because of her skin tone. But even if a jewel isn't right for her, she can appreciate it. «I love looking at jewelry,» she says. «Some pieces make me feel flirty while others can make me feel demure or laid back.»Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the jewelry https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
