Colombian jewelry designer, Paula Mendoza, has officially launched a new English-language web site geared towards the up-scale, urban woman.
Mendoza's vision combines classic, elegant lines and modern design, resulting in unique pieces that feel at home be it in the trendiest nightclub or the high-powered halls of business.
"My pieces celebrate both the power and the beauty that lies inside of each woman.
It's about making a statement that highlights the feminine side of a woman, along with the side that says, 'bow down to me.'"

Turkish Fashion Break is a series of trade promotion events (trade shows) organized to promote and develop a general awareness and demand for the apparel products manufactured by Turkish companies.
These events are being organized since 1997 by the Aegean Apparel Exporters' Union, a non profit semi-governmental trade association that works in close collaboration with Turkish Prime Ministry's Undersecretariat of Foreign Trade and represents Turkish apparel exporters, mainly the ones located in the Aegean Region.
Turkish Fashion Break's primary aim is to promote Turkey's apparel industry worldwide by organizing and implementing trade shows in various countries.
Each show enables selected Turkish apparel manufacturers/export ers showcase samples of their products and conduct individual meetings with foreign buyers in their line of business.
Responses from visitors show that each Turkish Fashion Break event is considered to be a "must-see" show for every apparel importer, as they provide numerous advantages for the buyer.

Fashion designer Roland Mouret launched his latest venture today - a collection of ten dresses for high street giant Gap.
Standing with top models Lily Cole, Kim Noordaa and Luca Gadjus wearing the star pieces from the collection, it looks certain that the man behind the ultra-glamorous Galaxy dress, is set to have another amazing hit on his hands.
The range is likely to cause the same level of interest as when Stella McCartney launched her collection for Swedish chain store H&M last year.
But anyone expecting Mouret simply to run up affordable versions of past styles - worn by actresses such as Cameron Diaz, and Rachel Weisz and already copied so extensively by the high street - will be in for a surprise.
Fresh from signing a deal with pop entrepreneur Simon Fuller last month, the designer has worked closely with the in-house Gap design team in London.
